RAPID AND ACCURATE
OPERATION OF THE TORRENS
SYSTEM IN CHICAGO.

The registrar Of titles in Chicago has
printed in the Chicago Record Herald as
to the practical operations of the Torrens
system of land registration, which is avail
able for use in that city. He says:
"In dealing with the administrative as
pect of the Torrens system two essential
features have been made predominant
namely, rapidity and accuracy-without
which any system Of land registration Is
imperfect. These two things have been
accomplished over obstacles which can
be understood only by those who are famil-
lar, not merely with the difficulties in
building up administrative Office, but with
the difficulty of instructing the public in
the details Of a law and system with
which it is not familiar.
But Notwithstanding this uphill strug-
gle 1t Is now always possible to register
any title and obtain a certificate within

Special Correspondence Of The Star.
LEESBURG, Va, December I, 1906.
The special term of the circuit court for
Loudoun county which was to have been
held here yesterday by Judge Gordon has
been postponed. Judge Gordon was ap-
pointed by Gov. Swanson recently to hear
the application Of the town council of Lees
burg for an order extending the corpora
ton limits of the town according to an
ordinance recently passed by the council
Judge Turner being disqualified under the
state constitution, Judge Bennett was
named in his stead and the hearing of the
case was set for yesterday. The postpone
ment was due to the fact that the law
under which the corporation limits would
be extended is the same under which the
boundaries of the city of Richmond were
recently extended. and which the county
of Henrico appealed to the supreme court
of Virginia upon the ground that the act
was unconstitutional. The two cases being
similar, the special term of court to be
held here has been postponed pending the
decision of the supreme court.

REFORM IN STATE PRINTING.

One OF the greatest reforms prom
ised the people at the hands of the
next general assembly is putting the
State Printing Office on a sane bust
ness basis.
The amendment adopted TO the
constitution directing the legislature
10 put the State Printer on a fat
salary, is aimed at A DEFINITE RE-
FORM OF THAT OFFICE.
The old obstacle to putting the
State Printer on a fiat salary has
been done away with, and there will
be no further excuse for the delay
OF this reform.
There is not the shadow of an ex-
cuse to continue the graft by which
men have confessed that they have
made S25. 900 a year, and laid up i'm
mense fortunes by an outrageous
process OF cumulative plunder.
After all the talk and after the
action OF the people at the last cleo
tion, the Republican party OF this
state cannot longer escape the re-
sponsibillty OF CUTTING THIS
GRAFT TO THE QUICK.
What should be done7 Numerous
bills are proposed but what is right?
State Printer Baker IL said to have
offered his present plant to the state
Rs a gift.
State Printer Dunlway Is said 10
have an order In for a complete new
plant, and proposes to throw out the
present fairly well-equlpped printing
offioe and put in one OF his own pur-
chase.
State Printer Duniway evidently
relies on his ability To KEEP THE
LAW AS'IT ~ or he would not pro-
pose 10 put In an expensive new
plant. lie must expect 20 mako prof

plant.

ors as these terms are all oneg
Where do the people get on atg
What should tho legislature do?
The Printers Union has adopted
resolutions favoring the state own
ing a plant. The state already has
printing plants al several state insti-
tutions. AM MANY STATES HAVE
PRINTING OFFICES.
Tho state can pay union wages
as well as other printing Offices. can

have a superintendent of printing on
fair salary. and get all It's work
done at cost. except when there is
great legislative rush OF work.
Then the State. Printer has always
gone out and had help from other
printing Offices. The state should
own a printing plant about the size
OF the present one and It could save
about dne-half the present expense.
A concrete base for presses should
be put in the printing office, the
shafting taken down from the cell
lngs overhead. and individual mo-
tors attached to the presses, so that
the state house will not be hurt by
oscillation.
The printer should be put on n
salary OF two to three thousand dol
lars per annum. THAT WILL AL
WAYS SECURE THE SERVICES OF
A COMPETENT MAN for the man
agement of the state printing Office
That much for the business from
tho standpoint OF the state. Now II
the state wants TO make the Office
self-sustalning let II print the SUI
promo court reports as fast as the
decisions are rendered and as fast
as the West Pub. Co., OF St. Paul,
or Bancroft. Whitney 4 Co.. print
them, AND MAKE A CLEAR PROF
n OF $4,000 TO 100000 PER
ANNUM.
There IS a sraft In that publica-
tion somewhere, compared to which
AN the money made by state printers
"dwlndles into lnslgnlncance" as the
debaters in the country school houses
say.
The state printing graft can be re-
duced TO save the state $4,000 a
year, and the supreme court report
graft can be made TO make tho state
printing oliloe absolutely self-sustaln-
ing.
To ALLOW Mr. Duniway TO install
a new printing outnt In the state
house and then allow him 10 continue
ON tho old plan, or on any new
scale of fees, such as the legislature
might adopt, would be 10 continue
the ancient graft THAT THE PEo-
PIE HAVE DECIDED To ABOLISH.
This is plain business talk about
the matter, and Is not intended 10
attack any past or present Official.
But the people have been promised
this reform long enough and II is
time something were doing.

Now is that good Repubilcanism?
is 1T GOOD PARTY TACTICS to
seek to defeat man for a second
term because he does not suit you
personally, but against whom not
the slightest charge of not having
made a good record in Office can be
brought? Mr.. Triu is a good man.
He was a former employe OF the

for the defeat of Mr.. Moores but for
