THE POWER or JUDGES.

In one Of his most notable adj
dresses recently President Taft spoke,
in part, as follows with respect to the
deplorahle inefficiency OF our courts
to punish criminals
There is no subject upon which |
feel 50 deeply as upon the necessity
for reform in the administration of
both civil and criminal law To sum
It all UP In phrase, the difficulty in
both Is undue delay 1t is not too
much to say that the administration
of criminal law In this country is a
disgrace to our civilization and that
the prevalence Of crime aud fraud,
which here are greatly in excess OF
those in the European countries. is
due largely to the failure Of the law
and its administrators to bring Grim
inals to justice
i am sure that this failure is not
due to corruption of officials. It is
not due to their negligence or lazi-
ness, though Of course there may be
both in some cases, but it is chiefly
due to the system against which il
is impossible for an earnest prose
cntor ana an efficient Judge to strug-
gle.
In this country we have generally
altered the relation OF the Judge to
the jury. In England the Judge con
trols the trial, controls the LAWYERS.
keeps them to relevant and proper ar
gument, aids the jury in its considera
ton OF the facts, not by direction.
but by suggestion, aud the lawyers in
the conduct Of the cases are made
to feel that they have an obligation
not only to their clients, but also
to the court and to the public at large
not to abuse their office In such a
Way as to unduly lengthen the trial
and unduly to direct the attention OF
the court and the jury away from
the real facts at issue
The Bulletin wishes to give Judge
Butler the fun benefit of the fore
going. 1t realizes that there are
grave defects in the rules of pro
cedure which govern our courts an(
knows that the judges on the bench
even the ablest among them. have
not the power they ought to have ir
order to effectively promote in al
cases the interests Of the peonle am
of justice.
And The Bulletin has not been nm
mindful Of this fact in its criticism,
Of Judge Butler 1t made dine an,

One Of the strong points made in
behalf Of Judge Butler during the
last campaign when he was candi-
date for reelection, was that he hal
very few raversals Of judgments in
the higher courts, IN other words,
that in cases wherein appeals were
taken from bis court to the appellate
or other courts. his judgments were
generally confirmed This was true;
but it should be borne in mimi, in
estimating the value OF this state
mlnt. shat among the cases appealed
there were no criminal cases Ger
tainly no criminal cases in which the
errors complained OF were made
against the prosecution, or the PEG
pie. 1t may tie termed one Of the
fatal defects in our criminal practice

looked that IN criminal cases the
people have no appeal Tie Judge a

pleases against the prosecution, no

| The result is, a. seen In the case O
Judge Butter, that judges are very
careful to make no errors against the
defendants in criminal cases, too
often yielding to attorneys for The
defense much more than these have
a right TO demand under the law, ami
thus hopelessly gripping the proseeu
tion This is more especially likely
to happen in eases where the judge
himself not well yersed in The law
places undue reliance upon attorneys
for the defense in criminal eases to
instruct him Tt may be said that this
latter point can not be urged against
Judge Butler in view Of hits record

president suggests that judges he

THE BRIGHT SIDE

of life. It is a feeling common
to the majority of US that we
do not get quite the amount of
happiness we are entitled to.
Among the countless things
which tend to make us more or
less miserable i'll health takes
the first place. No doubt a
crippled liver with the result
ing impure blood, is the cause of
more mental gloom than any
other single thing. And who
can reckon up the fearful aggre-
gate of pain, loss and fear a.
rising from the many diseases
which are familiar to mankind;
like a vast cloud it hangs over
a multitude no one can number.
You can see these people every
where. FOR them life can scarce
ly be said to have any "bright
side" at all. Hence the eager
ness with which they search for
relief and cure. Remedies like
WAMPOLE'S PREPARATION
have not attained their high po-
sition in the confidence of the
people by bald assertions and
Boosting advertisements. They
are obliged to win it by doing
actually what is claimed for them.
That this remedy deserves its
reputation is conceded. It is
palatable as honey and contains
all the curative properties &C
pure Cod Liver Oil, combined
with the Compound Syrup Of
Hypophosphites and the Extracts
of Malt and Wild Cherry. No
thing has such a record of sue
cess in Scrofula, Influenza,
Throat and Lung Troubles, and
emaciating complaints and DIS
orders that tend to undermine
the foundations of strength and
Vigour. It's use helps to show
life's brighter side. Professor

Wading in Stream

Dear Aunt Laurie:
My cousin and / play house and
am an old tramp and scare them out
of the house. They didn't close the
door and 1 got IN and got some pie.
My cousins name is Ethel Pennel and
we play marbles, too.
Sometimes when we play house I am
a horse or a dog. They feed me or
anges for my food. My cousin would
be the man. 1 would be scary some-
times and would run away.
When my papa and uncle irrigate we
would wade in the water and help ir-
rigate. One time my cousin was wad
ing in the water and she fell down and
got her dress all wet. She waded
again and fell down two or three times,
and when she fell down she laughed
about it. Then 1 went to wading and
l stepped in a hole and got my over
alls all wet. We We're in fix. I had
my overalls all wet and she had her
dress wet got in the dust and got
my overalls all muddy and my feet
muddy, and she got her feet muddy.
One time she pushed me into the water
and I went clear over my head so L
was all wet, and l went home crying.
One Sunday some children came over
and my cousin came down and we had
an apple duck and a boy and his sister
came over and he pushed his sister in
the water and got her all wet.

Cousins Enjoy California

Dear Aunt Laurie:
/ have often wondered what the poor
boy or girl does who hasn't any cous-
ms.
Besides being the proud possessor of
eight cousins who live in California,
my cousins who live in the east and
who think as much of the glorious cli-
mate of this state as we do, come out
nearly ever summer to visit us.
And oh! the good times at the beach,
bathing in the ocean and romping in
the sand!
Whenever receive a letter from one
of them that they are coming to visit
me, visions of good times dance
through my head.
What splendid fudge cousins can
make, and the going to bed early and
staying awake late, the reading of
fairy tales together, all add to the good
time of the girl who has cousins.
My mother often speaks of the good
