The deplorable delays in the admins

state bar associations, as we'll as the con-
sidered thought of judges and jurists. In
my Judgment a change in judicial pro-

and facilitating the dispatch OF business

doubt for one moment that much of the
lawless violence and cruelty exhibited
in lynchings is directly due to the uncer-

delays in trials, judgments and the exc

these remarks apply quite as well to the
administration of justice in state courts
as to that in federal courts, and without
making invidious distinction 1t is per-
haps not too much to say that, speaking
generally, the defects are less in the
federal courts than in the state courts.
But they are very great in the federal
courts. The expedition with which busi-

vinta High outweighed Fifteen
Pounds to the Man is swamped
BY Score Of 50 to o.

The particulars Of the game or
''how it was done" are still lacking
in the vtnita-Lawton high school
game yesterday, but the sad news Of
the defeat Of the hitherto inyincibIe
Vinita team By Lawton by score OF
80 to 0, reached this city last night
The only thing learned Of the game
was that Lawton had much the heav-
ier team. about fifteen pounds to the
man, the Vinita boys, although play
ing a great game were unable to check
the onslaughts Of their opponents. The
Vinita team will arrive home this even
ing, but the reception win probably
be rather tame ais compared with the
celebration planned In case they re-
turned victorious.
The victory yesterday gives Law
ton the high school championship of
the state. vinita retains that honor
for the east side.
