THE night was bloodshot: thro' the
dark
Red furrows split the well<in wide,
And pallid households shrank and
cried
As dogs at thunder moan and bark.
On rustic eyes the awful show
Wrote Judgment" swift on
vengeful wing.
They saw the heavens toss and
swing
And shed their stars like fiery
One gazer faced the frightening
glare
Like Ajax in his youthful might;
He looked beyond the ethereal
fight,
And saw Arcturus shining there.
Untaught, but wise, he scorned the
fret
That random drove the quailing

Who swung the axe, who titled his
Who shrank from nothing new,
But did as poor men do.
Ono Of the people. Born to be
Their curious epitome,
To share, yet rise above,
Their shifting hate and love.
Common his mind, it seemed SO then.
His thoughts the thoughts of other
men,
Plain were his words, and poor
But now they will endure.
NO nasty Iooi OF stubborn will,
But prudent, cautious, still
Who, since his work was good.
Would do it as he could.
No hero, this, of Roman mold
NOT like our stately sires of old,
Perhaps he was not great
But he preserved the state.
U, honest face, which all men know.
o, tender heart, but known to few
o, wonder of the age,
Gut of by tragic rage.

Justice OuieE and CheaD.

Judge Taft has more than once made
known 70 the public bis abhotreDce Of
"the laws delays" but his speech at
Chicago in September was the Hrst in
which he dealt with the subject In
definite terms. Words then spoken
have been widely echoed and ls-neraI-
~ commended. Coming from presi-
dent who IL a lawyer and has been
Judge. this indictment of our system
Of justice, the one thing we boast OF,
II worthy Of heed. The president did
not rest with merely condemning. but
suggested a remedy. He would have
the federal courts reformed 20 as 10
secure quick and cheap justice 10
litigants" before them and aIso to fur.
nish models for the state courts.
At first thought II seems strange
that the administration of justice has
degenerated so far that the president
must sound an alarm. The fact IL
that the development and movement
OF the machinery Of justice has been
one sided. The people, aside from the
comparatively few who have cIashed
with 1t, pay very little attention. The
average mans motto is keep out OF
the tolls Of the criminal law and pay
twice or lose all rather than bring or
defend a civil action" Sympathy for
any who break this rule is lukewarm
and az best spasmodic. swifter move
ment In all courts would be boon to
the communities involved. With laws
quick acting the people might take
keener interest in how they act and
the net results.
