Methodist church as 10 demand his
fealty TO a given political party. The
union is all right in its capacity as
an arbitrator with capital, and the
field is plenty big to occupy all its
time and attention. Beyond that, in
matters of politics and religion, the
laboring man should have and will
have the free and untrampled use OF
his best individual opinion, voting
for Republican, Democratic, lnde-
pendence, Prohibition or Socialist
principles as he see fit. His judgemnt
as to which of these has been best for
his welfare in the past has been good
as rule, and there is no reason for
belief that he has declined in intelli-
gence in the last few years This
year he will vote for that which he
believes best calculated to keep him
In work amid prosperity regardless of
the opinion of self seeking leaders

SATISFACrION-L DELAY
Is THE GREAT FAULT.

HOT SPRINGS, Ark, Aug. =
Following a technical analysis of fed
eral procedure by Judge Henry G.
Mcdowell of Lynchburg, William H.
Taft today addressed the Virginia
Bar association. giving in detail his
views on the delay in the administra-
ton of the law and suggestions for
reformers Mr.. Taft concluded the
speech making of the program.
Wynham r. Meredith introduced
Mr.. Taft to the association in eulo-
CYSTIC terms. "Of the speaker, he
said, whose presence makes this
meeting of our association national
occasion, in all the numerous public
duties which he has to perform,
whether as a law officer or as the
occupant of the bench, state or fed
eral, whether performing the ar
duous duties of secretary of war, as
governor of the Philippines or as adj
ministrator of Cuba, | can say that

not strengthened and perfected.

BURDEN Is UNEQUAL.

THE inequality that exists in our
present administration of justice and
that sooner or later is certain TO rise
and trouble us, and to call for pop
ular condemnation and reform, is in
the unequal burden which the delays
and expense of litigation under our
system imposes on the poor litigant."
One remedy, Mr.. Taft said, must
be reform in our judicial procedure,
which is now too cumbersome. An
other would be more expedition on
the part of the judges in rendering
their opinion. Delay, he said, always
worked to the detriment of the poor
and the benefit of the wealthy liti-
CANT. AS to appeals, Mr.. Taft gives
that question the court of first in
stance, and the intermediate appel
late courts should be for the purpose
of finally disposing in a just and
prompt way of contentious between
litigants. The appellate jurisdiction
of the court of last resort which are
typical and which give TO il in its
judgment an opportunity to cover the
whole field of the law

TRIAL BY JURY.
As to the jury system, Mr.. Taft
said:
We cannot, of course. dispense
with the jury system. 1t is that
which makes the people a part of
the administration of justice, but ev-
cry means by which in civil cases
litigants may be induced voluntarily
to avoid the expense, delay and bur-
den of jury trials, ought to be en-
couraged, because in this way the
general administration of justice can
be greatly facilitated and the ex-
pense incident to delay in litigation
can be greatly reduced"
Mr.. Taft closed with a tribute to
the legal profession and cautioned
that conservatism ought not to be
allowed to prevent reforms which are
in the interest of equalizing the adj
ministration of justice as far as pos
sible between the poor and the rich.

REFORM COULD BE EFFECTED.

Il believe that great reform
might be effected certainly in the
federal courts, and | think. too, in
the state courts, by a mandatory re-
duction of the court costs and fees.
The salaries of the court officers
should be fixed and should be paid
out of the treasury of the county,
state or national government, as the
case may be, and fees should be re-
duced to as low a figure as possible.
Il think another step in the direc-
tion of the dispatch of litigation
would be the requirement of higher
qualifications for those judges who
sit on the cases involving small pc
cuniary amount.
Another method by which their
irritation at the inequality in our
administration of justice may be re-
duced is by the Introduction of a
system for the settling of damage

JUDGE TAFT's SPEECH.

Judge Taft presented his subject
by stating that the end sought in the
administration of justice was to pro-
mote tranquility and contentment
among the people. 1t had. he said,
long been established that the SUI
preme court of the United States was
the ultimate arbiter of the great po-
itical and legal issues, deciding upon
the limitation of both the Legislative
and executive branches of govern
ment which had carried the useful
ness of the courts beyond anything
attempted in other. countries. Not
withstanding this desirable situation,
Mr.. Taft expressed doubt that our
present administration of justice in
sured general popular satisfaction
with its results.
There are he said, abundant
evidences that the prosecution of
criminals has not been certain and
thorough to the point of preventing
popular protest. The existence of
lynching in all parts OF the country
is directly traceable TO this lack OF
uniformity and thoroughness in the
enforcement of our criminal laws.

CLOSE SCRUTINY AT PRESENT.

"The present is time when all our
institutions are being subjected TO a
close scrutiny with a view to the de-
termination whether We have now
tried the institutions upon which
modern society rests to the point of
proving that some of them should be
radically changed The chief attack
is on the institution of private prop
erty and is based upon the inequali-
ties of the distribution of wealth and
human happiness that are apparent
in our present system. believe that
the institution of private property
next to that of personal liberty, has
most to do with the uplifting and
physical and moral improvement of
the whole human race. but that it is
not inconsistent with the rights of
private property to impose limitations
upon its uses for unlawful purposes,
and that this is the remedy for re-
form rather than the abolition of the
institution itself.

In a phone message received this

of the Peacock mill company have
been widely exaggerated.
According to the report received
the milling company had sent a crew
of men up the Walla Walla river to
repair and clean out its flume. In
doing so they diverted more water
into the mill company's race than had
been customarily taken. Learning Of
the action the Milton nursery sent
some of its men to the Red Bridge to
divert some of the water back, which
they did.
All of the workmen are said to have
been unarmed and no trouble occur
red, nor is any feared.
