This does not cover the increase on

does not cover the increase as hereto
fore made because of the tariff on
wool.
These figures. however, show what
ar enormous tribute Is being collected
from the people because Of the 50 per
cent tariff on wooden manufactures.
When it Is remembered that the tariff
collected on wool amounts 70 about
sixteen millions and that the tariff col
lected BY the wool growers because Of
the taSin on wool amounts to some
thirty Millions. II the tariff Is added to
the price Of wool, It viii be seen that
the manufacturers collect from the
consumers a great deal more because
Of the tariff on wool than wool growers
collect from the manufacturers. Who

ROMAN JUSTICE.
How Technicalities Were Avoided i'm
The Courts.

The bar was an open profession in
acient Rome; the litigant enjoyed the
utmost latitude in the choice of an
advocate, whose right to represent his
client in court was fully conceded
Slavish imitators Of the Greeks in
literature and art, the Romans as
serted their entire independence in
the domain of law. Their innovations
had the stamp of originality; but
these did not comprise any close con-
nection between bar and bench. 1t
Is noteworthy that during a very long
period in the history Of Roman law
there was no exact counterpart of
our judge. The magistratus was
public official charged with the ad-
ministration of the law; the judex was
species of referee appointed by the
magistrate to hear and report upon a
particular case. Then there was an
arbiter who acted alone, or with 9TH
ers, in arbitration cases (arbitria).
Finally, there were Temperatures who
assisted in international questions.
The hearing before these various
types of judgex was called the judi
cum, as distinguished from jus. the
hearing before the magistrates prop
erly so-called. The names of citizens
qualified for serving as JUDGES were
inGOrihnd IN
as the album. Moreover, litigants had
the right Of objection to a particular
judex. Not only so, but this right was
extended during many centuries to
criminals. who were tried before CEN
tumvirs and decemvirs, sitting on the
permanent tribunals. If the Roman
Bill Sykes never thought of putting
forward the demand of his English
congener that 1--WE all ought to have
voice in making the laws as we suf-
fer BY" yet we may be we'll assured
that he would not fail to take a
sporting chance, make a prime favor
ite OF the judge who was most revers-
ed on appeal, and strenuously object
to the others.
The point which calls for our special
attention is that none of the men who
discharged the various judicial or
semi-judicial functions described were
drawn. except in most exceptional
cases, from the advocate class. Nor
Is 1t possible to conceive any arrange
ment better. calculated than that in
force in Rome to exclude their narrow,
professional technicality from the set
tlement Of civil cases. The presiding
magistrates Of the great criminal tri-
bunals were seldom or never men who
practiced at the bar. Even in later
times, when the distinction between
JUS and judicum had disappeared, and
the functions OF magistratus and ju-
dex were merged in one official, there
Is no evidence that the bench was re-
cruited from the bar more frequently
than MISUNDERSTANDING Review.

CHURCHES SHOULD MEET HU.
MAN NEEDS.
They Must Keep Pace With the Rapid
Progress of the World.

Does a decline in church attend.
ance necessarily prove a decline in re-
ligious interest? Where there are op.
posing motives acting, failure in the
desired result may be due to a
strengthening of the negative motives
without weakening, and even In
spite of a less increase, of the posi-
tive.
The conditions Of life have been
more changed since the application OF
steam and electricity 20 manufacture
and transportation than in all the
millenniums which preceded. Men
work harder; need more rest and re-
taxation. find it less easy to secure
them without leaving the own
neighborhood or availing themselves
of the arts of popular entertainment,
while they find the means both OF
travel and of amusement rendered
easy and inexpensive by the same
civilization that taxes their energy in
toll.
And the remedy? Not in vain Ia
ment at changed conditions; not in
denying the attractiveness Of the va
ried possibilities developed by civil
cation, but, as DR.. Crooker tells us
In "The Church Of Today" in insist
ing and demonstrating that the
church also Is permanent because it,
too, meets geunine human need and
Is highest of all; because that need is
the deepest, and is "the supreme ele-
ment which all other institutions need
in order to reach their greatest worth
and highest efficiency"
Just because the motives to world
liness have. been strengthened it is
not enough for the church to do as
we'll today as it did in the past.
What is needed Is church as far
ahead Of its predecessor as the rail-
road Is swifter than the stage-coach.
