The American Bar Association
which met at Seattle received from
one Of its special committees a re-
port which asks tor legislation that
win prevent the courts Of appeal from
deciding either civil or criminal Iit1-
CATION brought before them on purely
technical points. These cases. says
the report, should be decided upon
their merits. This committee was
appointed by the association at its an
nual meeting last year TO suggest
remedies and draft proposed laws to
prevent delay and unnecessary cost in
litigation. The report called atten-
ton to the fact that the tendency OF
the courts in common law cases Is 70
construe adherence to strict legal
rules as the right Of each party, and
TO reverse IL there has been any In
fraction OF these rules This makes
the trial OF case game" declared
the committee. lin which the one wins
who plays the most skiilfully, the
merits OF the controversy having no
part" The unrestricted right to a
writ Of error in criminal cases isNchar-
acterised by the committee as flag
rant abuse In Judicial procedure.
These writs," the committee said.
ARE constantly sued out solely for
delay. The punishment Of notorious
criminals thus is constantly being
postponed in violation OF every princi-
pie Of justice. This is especially
fragrant in the suing out Of writs OF
error from the supreme court Of the
United States TO review the decision
Of highest courts Of criminal juris-
diction in the several States. We
recommend that no writ of error re-
turnable IN criminal cases to the SUI
preme court OF the United States
should be allowed unless justice
as that court shall certify there Is
probable cause to believe that the de-
PENDANT was unjustly convicted"
The committee declares that the
reforms in civil procedure which It
recommends are not theoretical, but
have been tried and adopted in Eng
land 10 the satisfaction OF the bar
and the benefit OF litIgants $50 far
as reform in criminal procedure is
concerned" says the report. ''the
grievance OF which we complain has
never existed In England, but the stat
utory provisions there are similar

scAooL SAVINGS BANK system.


The proposed introduction OF the
school savings bank system In Pensa-
cola schools through the efforts OF the
School Improvement Association is an
other step forward In the good work
this organization has been accredited
with since 1t was formed last winter.
The school savings bank system will
find many, many advocates, and few,
il any, directors, when the plan is
fully understood by the public. The
writer Witnessed the institution OF the
system in the schools OF large city,
and the results were amazingly salts
factory. The system was introduced
In that city i've or six years ago.
About year ago the writer had oc-
caslon to investigate its growth An
Investigation showed that out OF an
enrolment OF thousands OF children,
only about two and one-half per cent
had failed to take advantage OF the
opportunity to save a portion OF their
weekly allowance.
One instance was cited where lad
in the fifth grade there are but seven
grades IN ward schools) had begun to
save when the system was FIRST In
augurated. At that time his people
were in comfortable circumstances
and he was given liberal allowance.
He saved the greater part OF Il Al
the time Of entering his third year
IN high school, through reverses. II
was thought he could not continue.
The savings Of the years previous
came to his assistance, and this, to-
gether with the sums he earned by
working after school hours, enabled
him to continue and finish high
school.
This is but one illustration OF the
practical side OF the school savings
bank The greater benefit. however.
lies In the lesson. practically taught.
10 save II child aged ten years Is
given ten cents a week for spending
money and is taught to save one cent
Of II. then that child win probably

life.

his own eyes the benefits OF money

The school savings hank proposed
BY the School Improvement Associa-

ArHg FLORIDA


A late New York special says that
it Is likely that the present month
viii witness the laying OF the keel Of
the Florida the biggest and most pow
erful Of the vessels Of Uncle Sans
navy. The 2OOOO-ton leyiathan Of the
seas will be constructed at the Brook
Iyn navy yard. and when completed
viii be the monarch Of the United
states navy, and the equal in fight
ing power and tonnage OF any other
ship afioat
The contract TO build the Florida
was given to the local yard after one
Of the greatest campaigns was waged
to force the Navy Department TO let
the workers OF the Brooklyn navy
yard build her. Boards OF trade. Con-
gressmen. Senators and everyone that
could exert authority with the WASH
'ington officials we're fighting night and
day to get the battleship built here,
The argument OF the experts In
Washington was that private build
ers could construct warship or any
other kind OF vessel cheaper and
quicker than Government workers.
AZ the time that all this was going on
the collier Vestal was started at the
navy yard. From Naval Constructor
Baxter down 10 the humblest appren-
tice the feeling was rampant that the
only thing 10 be done to have the ship
built here was to show good results in
the vestaI
Now that the giant collier Is An
ished and all records for quick and
cheap construction are broken, the
men at the navy yard are waiting
with interest for the keel OF the Flor
Ida to be laid. Although the building
Of q battIeshlp Is a greater task than
the Construction OF collier the work
ers at the navy yard have no fear that
they win not make as, good a rec
ord on the Florida as they did on
the Vestal, for they have also built
the battleship Connecticut, now the
pride Of the navy.
The new lighting monster Is so much
larger than the Connecticut, the ways
on which the latter was built will
have to be heightened a hundred feet.
To do this, part Of a storehouse will
have 10 be razed, as there Is not room
for the extension on the landslide.
After the building is RACED. and the
ways heightened. they will be under
mined, so that the railroad Of the
navy yard can pass beneath them.
Another interesting feature OF the
building OF the new battleship Ia the
fact that new monster cantilever
crane win be erected, 80 the steel
and other material win be hauled 20
the workers nearly twice as fast az
they were while the vestal was being
built The crane Is now in the course
Of construction. and will be ready
soon after the Florida is started.

To The Bryan Eagle:
AS the big boys are all gone off to
singing tonight and left me and the
old woman and the baby, the shepherd
dog and the cats here alone, thought
would scratch off a few lines to the
Eagle. My family are all well, but
there is quite lot of sickness at DIM
mitt. Such as Group, diptheria and
severe colds.
We have had the mildest winter up
to date that this country has had
since | came to it. With the excep-
ton of what cold we had before
Christmas and the snow that we had
while / was in Brazos county, we have
had no winter scarcely. Ice hasn't
been thick enough since l came home
to hold up a mans weight. Every
body is getting busy in the way of
breaking land, building fences, houses,
drilling wells, setting out trees etc
Our neighborhood has hauled a great
deal of wheat to Hereford since
came home first of January. Sold it to a
Wichita Falls buyer and got S1.00
per bushel for 1t on board the cars at
Hereford.
There is large acreage planted to
wheat in Castro County this year
which is doing fairly well at present,
but will soon need moisture. Your
correspondent has sold over $4,000
worth of hogs since January Is and
has one more to sell that will weigh
over 300 pounds and has put up plen-
ty meat to do the family one year, and
has four or FIVE gallons of fine lard.
One fellow in Brazos asked me If we
raised any hogs out here and when
told him yes, he then asked me what
we fed them on. Well, | was so sur
| prised at such a question that | ac-
! tually told him We fed them on corn,
when | should have told him Post
oak acorns. There is a man II miles
east of Dimmitt who sold a hog to the
cashier of the First State Bank of
Dimmitt that weighed something over
500 pounds. | can't say what he fed
him on. but if any one doubts this
story write J. l.. Crum of Arney, Tex
as, or B. Rowan, Dimm.tt, Texas.
