WOULD GIVE JUDGES MORE POWER.
I don't know when the reforms are to be
brought about in this country. Until our people
shall become fully aware and in some concrete
way be made TO suffer from the escape of Grim
tnals from just judgment In this country this
tyStem may continue One Of the methods hv
which il could be remedied in some degree is TO
give judges more power in The trial of criminal
oa4es and enable them 10 aid the jury in its
consideration Of facts and 10 exercise more con-
troll over the arguments that counsel see 1T 10
advance Judges, and especially judges who are
elected ought not TO be mistrusted by the Deo-
pie guogeship is a great offiCN and the man
who holds IL should exercise great power and no
ought 70 be allowed 20 exercise that in a trial
by jury.
Then il is. undoubtedly true that in England
lawyers In the conduct of their cases feel much
more and respect much more their obligation to
assist the court in administering Justice and
restrain themselves from adopting the desperate
and extreme methods TO which American law
yers are even appauded for. The trial here is
game In which the advantage is with the
criminal, and If he wins he seems to have the
sympathy Of a sporting public. Trial by jury
as u has come 70 Us through the Constitution
IS the trial by jury under the English law and
under that law the Vagaries. the weaknesses
the tlmidities and the Ignorance Of iurjes we're
20 be neutralZed by the presence in court OF q
Judge TO whom they should look for instruction
upon the law and sound advice in respect 10
The facts. their ultimate conclusion must he
their own. and they We're fully at liberty TO
disregard the judicial suggestion.
DELAY IN CIVIL COURTS. TOO.
DAN ttADtln ln our criminal procedure Is moi
the only reform that ought to have IN orr
courts. On the civil side of the courts there
IS undue delay and this always works for the
benefit Of the man with the longest ,,lIrse The
employment Of lawyers and the payment OF
costs al become more expensive as the litiea-
ton IS extended.

cases involving small amounts could be carried

The Whole FANNY
IL In Trouble

The man who was too economi-
cal to buy clock sent his little
boy to get the time from a neigh
Dor this rainy weather. In his
haste the boy ran over a $500
stand of bees and in ten minutes
looked like a water s u m m e +
squash. His cries reached his
father, who ran to his assistance
and failing to notice a barbed wire
fence ran into that breaking it
down, cutting a handful Of flesh
from his anatomy and running
a $500 pair Of pants. The old cow
took advantage Of the gap in the
fence and got into the corn field
and killed herself eating green
corn. Hearing the racket, the
wife ran out, upsetting a four
gallon churn full of rich cream
into a basket of kittens, drowning
the whole flock. In the hurry
she dropped a $500 set Of false
teeth. The baby, left alone,
crawled through the spilled milk
into the parlor, running a brand
new $4,000 carpet, During the
excitement, the oldest daughter
ran away with the hired man, the
dog broke up eleven setting hens,
the calves got out and chewed the
tails off Of four fine shirts.
