APPEAL FOR SPEEDY JUSTICE.
Reform Urged by the President Corr
daily welcomed.
Nav York World.

uANAs
New York World.
Mr.. Taft does not exaggerate when he
~denounces the administration of the Grim
inai law in this country as "a disgrace to
our civilization" and asserts that the
laws undue delay in civil proceedings
always works for the benefit of the man
with the longest purse"
The presidents remedy is q congressional
commission that will report q system to
secure quick and cheap Justice in the fed
eral courts and serve as q model for leg
hislatures to reform the administration Of
Justice in the states. This lie a timely and
practical suggestion which deserves far
more popular enthusiasm than II Is likely
to attract.
Whatever the faults OF the federal Ju-
dietary may be, 1t is a model OF expedition
in comparison with the state Judiciaries.
Moreover, the laws delay In the state
courts directly affects probably a hundred
persons to one who is directly affected by
the laws delay in federal courts.
The reform of the judiciary system in
order to secure speedy and cheap Justice
is a matter that the bar associations ought
to have dealt with long ago. Perhaps the
explanation of their systematic failure lies
in Mr.. Taft's casual remark that I'VE have
had too many lawyers In legislating on
legal procedure, and they have been prone
to think that l~itigants were made for the
purpose Of furnishing business to courts
and lawyers, and not courts and lawyers
for the benefit OF the people and litigants."
1t is fortunate that Mr.. Taft, with the
power Of his great office and his expert
ence as a Judge, has taken up this ques-
ton in sober, serious fashion. There is a
chance at last that something will be ac-
complished in the way of making speedy
and impartial Justice" a fact as well as .

MASTERS PLANS sHELvED,
End of the Aggressive Expansion OF
the Hartman Lines.
nn..Al.- -.

The selection Of Judge LoVett as the
head Of the executive committee Of the
Union Pacific, and the election Of Jacob
Schift and William Rockefeller to the
board to fill the vacancies made by the
deaths Of e. H. Hartman Ind H.. H.
Rogers, are given a significance In the
railway and finRnoial worlds which is
not specifically apparent, Judge Lovett
was, apparently, closer in the confidence
Of Mr.. Hartman than any other man, and
often, in these later years, the instrument
through which the plans of the great rail
way operator were worked out. Mr.. Schiff,
as the power in a great banking house and
in control of vast funds, was the main
financial reliance Of the financier.
In their acts, therefore, supporting, as
they have done, the f~ar-reaching plans OF
Hartman, there was to be found the sug
gestion that the plans OF the master would
be continued. But such is not the belief OF
the worlda of finance. Indeed, It Is the con-
viction of that world that the end Of ag-
g~ressive expansion of the Hartman sys-
tenn has come; that hereafter there will be
no effort to secure a voice and an influ-
ence in other and competing roads by pur-
chases Of stock OF such roads; that, indeed,
a policy Of gradually disposing Of much OF
the stock already held will be adopted;
that the vast plans Of ACKNOWLEDGEMENT Har-
riman had conceived, and which he only
could execute, will be laid aside, and that
energy, hereafter, VIII be concentrated on
the development of the territory Of the
system.
1t is not to be denied that a sense of
greater security prevails in the market be-
cause of this conviction. In II there is tes-
timony to the abiding apprehension as to
where the bold policies OF the operator
would lead. There is now belief that the
transmississippi war will end, and that
now conservatism will mark the admins
tration OF the Hartman properties while q
perplexing and uncertain element will be
removed.

RAILROAD P,BAI,..Y.
One of the Distinctive Policies OF

Philadelphia Press.
President hartman altered ahd advanced
railroad management at many p-iAts, uut
nowhere more than IN publicly.
In the Union Pacific and IFS associated
lines he changed all past ~r,tliO.u uadl-
tons at this point, When accidents come
the usual railroad policy IL to suppress al
information and tell as little as possible.
On the Union Pacific, under President Hat-
riman, all was told as soon as possible. A
railroad employe was detailed To taCiitato
newspaper inquiry and ensure its ac-
curacy. a local jury, made up Of cItiGehs
and railroad men, often with Il newspaper
man on 1t, was set to work investigating.
the accident and ascertaining its causeNe
Their report, evidence and findings ave
published and have brought more than one
reform, preventing other like accidents.
Railroad discipline has had the same
treatment. Penalties and praise, failure
and success are put ON the station bulletin
boards. The public of passengers and en-
ployes is expected to know now the road
is run. The Railroad Gazette puO.ls"ed not
long since a tabulated statement % dis
charges, suspensions and fines, with cause,
for the whole Union Pacific system.
President Hartman believed a well man
aged road had nothing to conceal IN It's
operating department and everything 10
gain from publicity. The result proved he
was right. Newspapers having all the

It is the right and privilege of every
one so inclined to refuse to ride on
street car manned by strike breakers
and to stick to the foot path. But the
rules which various local unions are
promulgating, threatening members
who ride with heavy fines, come within
the definition Of an illegal boycott and
are as unealled for as they are IN
necessary. Whether the tired work

because he had been trying to find the pole

throw up his hat and yell for Peary with
the rest Of the boys, protesting great ad-
miratlon for the commander. The latter.
when he heard OF Cooks claims, gave a
good imitation Of q bear with a sore head
and has had on display a big crouch ever
since. 1t is not surprising that Cook is
now the favorite, and likely TO remain so

Postal Banks Advantage.
Philadelphia Inquirer.

By proposing, as some of them have
done, that national banks be provided with
savings bank departments the bankers have
inferentially admitted the existence Of the
need which the postal system is designed to
supply; but only the government can give
the absolute security which is necessary or
can furnish a convenience of universal ac-
cess. 1t is one OF the great merits OF the
postal system that wherever there is q
postoffice money may be deposited or
withdrawn.
