Taft Now Talks Of
Reforming the Courts

bitration offer no. relief to litlgants
with wealthy opponents, hence, the re-
suits in the cost of litigation to the
poor are greater than to the rich, as
suming that the poor are more often
interested in small cases and the rich
in large ones. One reason for delay IN
lower courts is the disposition OF
Judges to await an undue length OF
time before writing their opinions. In
this | speak with confidence, because

Il believe a great reform would be
affected with a certainty in federal
and state courts by the mandatory re-

In the discussion following the

points were determined upon for in

The units in which the matter of
local option may be placed before the
voters are the county. municipality
and the precincts outside Incorporated
towns.
Petition for a ballot of the people on

The sale of liquor, not its manufact-

The committee on resolutions, con-
sisting of the Rev. M. Schooling or
Pullman H. Parrish of Spokane, the
Rev H. c.. ROuthe of PascO and the
Rev w j. Herwig, of Spokane, ap-
pointed during the morning session,
presented the following report in the
afternoon. which was accepted and
adopted by the conventions:
Both Parties Praised.
1--WE desire to record our apprecia-
ton of the recognition of the advance
temperance sentiment Of the state in
the blanks of both the republican and
democratic parties
1--WE conceive them to be an ex-
preston of principle rather than an
Endorsement of a particular method, as
the object of both is the elimination OF
the saloon.
I'VE deem it advisable that the
Christian forces give their vote only
to such candidates who will agree to
support the bill adopted by the repre-
sentatives of the Christian forces OF
the state of Washington in convention
assembled. We desire further to ex-
press our conviction that these men
who took their stand for temperance
legislation in the last session of the
legislature should be supported at the
primaries and the polls.
eve urge the organization of local
option clubs, or similar clubs, through
out the state.
I'VE recognize the present campaign
as one of special opportunities to the
temperance forces of the state, and
recognize it also as one fraught with
ooo,,l;or danoerS owing TO the newneSS
of the direct primary.
Call to Church Forces.
I'VE would urge that so far as pos
sible in every legislative and senate
rial district the Christian forces con-
centrate their vote on some one or two
of the candidates running. rather than
dissipate their vote among a large
number of candidates, all of whom may
be equally good.
FINALLY: We urge upon the pastors
of the state of Washington that they
rouse their people to the responsibility
of this great moral issue and urge their
members to sink personal and partisan
PRINCIPLES as far as this particular is
size is concerned, and vote for such
men as will be indorsed as standing
right on this question, and would fur
thermore ask that every pulpit in the
state ring with an appeal for the elec-
tion of local option candidates on Sun
day September 6. and would ask that
the Anti Saloon league see to it that

ouate information, along general tenn

init Williams and the Others to ransack
the Kremlin building from cellar to

Another cause for the breach is that
all the credit for the capture of the

success. He proved during the tests
held both in the armory and in the
fields near North Wilbraham, that his
new gun can be fred within one hun
dred feet of a person without detec-
ton by him.
To make clear to the minds of the Of
fcers the tremendous revolution which
this gun would cause in warfare,
Maxim utilized a little cricket which
was found in a bush. The officers
could hear the cricket chirp at a dis
tance of fifty yards. And they heard
it chirp even when the Maxim gun was
being fired.
Those present at the test. which was
the official government one, were Mr..
Maxim, Major Morton, Captain Allen,
Lieutenant Meals, Henry Southey, city
engineer of Hartford, Conn, and six
enlisted men.

trigger. From the white plate, more

ploughed into the steel-but not a
sound excepting a soft one, as of
fingers swapping, came from the gun.
