ARebuke to Lawyers.

Judge John D. Lawson, dean
of the Missouri university law
school and president of the
State Bar association, in his
address at Kansas City before
the annual meeting severely
rebuked lawyers for the delays
of justice which grow out of our
present system of procedure.
'The machinery of the law"
said Judge Lawson, has become
rusty, and we find its drivers
badly trained and often incom-
petent to manage it. An ex-
animation of all the decisions
of our supreme courts during
the past decade was made a
short time ago by a New York
lawyer, and the legal profession
was startled to find that in near
ly one-half of the cases which
were reversed and sent back
for another trial, it was not
because the judgment below
was wrong on the merits of the
case, but because of some error
in procedure-bad workman
ship in running the judicial
machine.
"What would we think if other
professions and trade did as
badly as this? If, for example,
one half of all the concerts
given in this country had to be
given over again because the
musicians were out of tune or
had negligently played the
wrong piece, or one-half Of the
boots and shoes made in our
factories had to be made over
again because of defects in
! them which made them usele ss,
or one.half of all the trains
which left the union station
here had to come back after a
whole days run because they
had started out on the wrong
track.
"The civil courts are greatly
in advance Of both the bar and
Legislature in endeavoring to
diminish delay. Lawyers every
day are employed, not to OBJ
tain justice, but to delay it.
Civil courts however, are not
created for that purpose; they
sit for the benefit of plaintiffs,
for if there were no plaintiffs
there would be no need for
courts, and the courts have
little to do with those things
which cause most of the delays
in administering justice. They
are certainly not responsible
for the mistakes of lawyers.
