Nothing hptter TOT the navy from
every standpoint has ever occurred than
the cruise Of the battle fleet around
the world The Improvement of the
ships in every way has been extraordi-
nary, and they have gained far more
experience in battle tactics than they
would have gained if they had stayed
in the Atlantic waters The American
people have cause for profound graft

condition of the feet as shown by this
cruise, and in view of the improvement
the cruise has worked In this already
high condition. l do not believe that
there is any other service in the world
in which the average OF character and
efficiency I'm the enlisted men is as high
as Is now the case in our own.

1t is the jingoes of Germany and

This vicious movement may indeed rep

The East.

Is it possible that in their eagerness
TO meet the Democracy on its chosen
middle-Westen battle-ground, the Re
publicans are liable TO fall asleep at
the switch and permit a dangerous
situation to develop in territory which
they seem to count as securely their
owR2
1t is the easiest thing in the world
TO get CAREFUL expert opinions on
conditions everywhere beyond the Ale
ghenies. Political agents and news
paper correspondents have covered the
territory with remarka bic thorough
ness, considering that the campaign has
not fairly opened. Everything from
Ohio to Oregon, from Indiana to Idaho,
has been studied, analysed and elassi-
fed. The effects of the timers pros
perity, the bankers uncertainty, the
manufactrrer's depression-au these, as
TO the West, have been weighed and
grouped and resolved into factors in
the big equation.
But who is doing this for the East
Boss Murphy has given out a state
ment about New York which rings with
something like genuine confidence. 1t
might be 1et down as counterfeit but
for the fact that e. ~ man knows
the Republicans have most distressing
local situation on their hands in the
great pivotal State. Murphy has not
been talking much; he was the silent
man at Denver, and after; now when
he declares that Bryan Is strong enough
in New York TO help carry the State
ticket along, it may be set down as
meaning something's certainly as de-
serving attention by gentlemen in
trusted with accumulating the needed
majority of electoral votes for Secre-
tary Taft.
From Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois
come reports that the unemployed peo-
pie turned adrift by idle factories are
in bad state of mind. 1t cannot be
overlooked that the same cause for
disafection exists in New York; if it
should produce the same effect, New
York would have to be listed as having
developed a new attitude toward BRYAN.
and a far more friendly one than ever
before was entertained. That is what
the same cause has produced in the
industrial West.
II Murphy is right, and Bryan is
stronger in New York than the Demo
cratic State ticket will be, the Empire
Commonwealth will require close atten-
ton before the end of October. A State

counted on TO remain firm in bad times.

Our Endless Legal Appeals.

The American Bar Association gives
its vigorous Endorsement to the sub
stance of Mr.. Taft's speech to the
Virginia lawyers, in which he declared
that more prompt, efficient, and mex
pensive administration Of justice was
the most pressing need of tl-s country.
1t was, if recollection is not in error,
Mr. Justice Brewer, who made some
sensation a few years ago by the de-
mand that appeals in criminal cases be
discontinued. He believeL justice would
be better served, respect for the law
would be promoted, and the expense of
administration of the courts would
be lessened; to say nothing of the
great gain IL promptness o, decisions.
The proposal was startling TO most
Americans, accustomed 10 the techni-
calitfes, delays, appeals, retrials, etc,
which have brought American criminal
law into contempt. When 1T was
brought out that Justice Brewer had
proposed practically nothing but the
English system, and when his honor
elaborated the argument in its favor,
showing that a case tried before a jury
presents almost infnitesimal chance for
injustice to the accused, there developed
strong sentiment in support of the pro-
posal-
That proposal related only to criminal
appeals. Now the American Bar Asso-
citation proposes to go farther, and urge
legislation which will prevent the de-
cision of appealed civil cases, as well
as criminal on merely technical
grounds. The committee in charge of
the matter will make a strong report
TO the association at its annual meeting
next week, pointing out that the in
creasing tendency to decide appeals on
points in procedure results in the mag
nifying of technical and the minimizing
OF essential features. Cases are decided,
on appeals, on the basis of the mar
rowest view of a recoru, not on their
merits.
There are too many courts in this
country, and there is too much dispo-
sitiOn to resort to them. There are too
many appeals-altogethe too many of
them-more than the Jurisprudence of
any other country on earth contem-
plates. Not only should appellate juris-
dicti7n be greatly restricted, both civilly
and criminally, but interstate com
merce corporations should be required
TO become citizens of all States in which
they do business, and to accept justice
as administered in the courts of the
States, with a very restricted right of
appeal, or better still with none beyond
the constitutional appeal.
The verdict of the jury gets too little
respect nowadays. There are even con
siderable elements which frankly de-
clare the jury system a failure. The
experts in appellate procedure under
stand how TO defeat the iury's finding,
and that defeat is the real purpose of
the whole intricate procedure in which
merits are forgotten md the points in
the game are counted. Increasing re
spect and sanctity for the jury and its
hiding should be promoted in every way
possible.
