JUDGE TAFT ON THE COURTS.

In his speech before the members
of the Virginia Bar association yester
day Judge Taft took what will appear
to the lay mind to be sound position
in deprecating the cumbersome quail
tiles of the American judicial system.
Judge Taft was not making a dema-
gogic speech against the courts. He
was addressing lawyers and he ad-
dressed them as lawyer and judge,
pointing out where he thought Unequal
tiles existed, and pointing out where
in he believed the remedy to lie.
Judge Taft made plain his belief that
there is room for improvement in
court procedure when he said:
II venture to think that one evil
Of the community at large, but which
is likely to grow in Importance as the
inequality between the poor and the
rich in our civilization is studied, is
the delays in the administration Of
justice between individuals. AS be-
tween two wealthy corporations or
two wealthy Individual litigants and
where the subject matter of the
litigation reaches to tens
and hundreds of thousands of dollars,
our present system, while not perfect,
Is not so far from proper results as
to call for anxiety. The judges Of the
country, both state and national, are
average good men. Venality in our
judges Is rare.
"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 popular
condemnation and reform is in the I'M
equal burden which the delays and
expense of litigation under our sys-
tenn imposes on the poor litigant"
AS a remedy Mr.. Taft held that
there must be reform in our judicial
procedure. He pointed out that delays
always worked to the detriment of the
poor and to the benefit of the wealthy
litigant, and the first step should be
to prevent delays as far as possible
in the trial courts. AS to appeals he
believed that the court of first in
stance and the intermediate appellate
courts should be for the purpose of
disposing In a just and prompt way of
contentious between litigants. The
appellant jurisdiction Of the court of
last resort he maintained should be
limited to those cases which are typ
ical and which give to it an opportu-
nifty to cover the whole field of law"
1t is safe to say that no one would
welcome more heartily reform in
the judicial procedure that would do
away with the present delays more
than the judges and the lawyers. Such
reform would be more readily well
coined by litigants, unless it be such
profit by delays.

ROT FROM THE LECTURE PLAT
FORM.

Professor Charles Zueblin, a former
Chicago university professor, declares
from the lecture platform that con-
gress is corrupt, the United States is
more poorly governed than any coun-
try, civilized or barbarian, in the
world, that there is no real Democ-
racy and never will be under the
present system in this country and
that the elections are controlled by
criminals, crooks, thieves and perjur-
ers. Prof. Zueblin attempts to show
how much better Russia is governed
with its duma. He says:
Members of the Russian duma as
a class and members of the duma as
individuals in intelligence, honesty
and brilliancy put to shame the mem
bers of the congress of the United
States. The members of the United
States congress as a governing body
in studipity, corruption, vice and
crime, is Incompatible with the gov.
erning power of any other country
civilized or barbarian, in the world.
THE United States never has had
and under it's present system never
will have real Democracy.
"There is no real Democracy. for
Democracy Is the government of the
whole by the whole. In the United
States part are governed by part
The rest shift to suit themselves And
that this is so is because it is deliber.
ately planned and arranged for.
I'm the Russian duma such things
are not allowed. Criminals, crooks
thieves and perjurers do not control

Mr.. Ekfelt Writes
Of His Trip Abroad

G. j. Ekfeit, prominent Ottumwa
business man, now touring Europe,
writes the Courier the following inter.
esting letter of his trip abroad:
Ronneby, Sweden, July "a, 1908.
Editor of the Courier AS | notic-
ed today in copy of the Courier,
which has just reached me, that you
have published part of private letter
written some time ago, and thinking
that it might be of interest to your
readers to hear something further
from this part of the Old World, es-
pecially to those whose cradle was
rocked in the far off Northland, l will
take the liberty of writing 9 little
longer letter, giving your readers
some of our experiences on this trip.
We left Ottumwa on May 14th and
after stop of a day in Chicago and
a couple of days in ST. GATHERINGS,
Ontario, the former home of my wife,
we arrived in New York city. On the
goth we boarded the White Star
steamer Adriatic, a new vessel, 725
feet long and 80 feet wide, and float
ing palace, which left at o'clock a.
m. The pier of a transatlantic steam
boat company is very busy place for
several hours before the vessel leaves,
and this one was no exception to that
rule. Trunks and baggage of all kinds
were hoisted during the whole night
and until the minute the vessel steam
ed away. Friends were down to the
pier by the hundreds, to bid departing
ones farewell. Many heartrending fare
wells are seen there in cases where
friends part, never expecting to see
one another again in this world, and
tears are then freely shed. AS the yes
sci slowly moves away there is such
waving of handkerchiefs, both by
those on the pier, as well as those go
ing away. Soon we are out Of sight Of
land Before we realize it dinner time
has come around and we fee
we are ready for it, as the
salt air makes on hungry
Meals are served at a. NJ, 1890

crackers at 10 a. M, and a late lunch
at $3.50 a. M, so we had five chances
to partake of the boats elegant mea
