CURING THE LAWS DELAY

is very well for the New York judges to recommend re-
forms the rules of court procedure remedy delay in
civil cases says Oregoniah This good as far as it goes hut
will not by any to the end of the road more fund
nta medicine required for the complete cure of the disease Of
cranaton and nefciency which, as everybody admits
causes justice pine To change rules merely symp
IONS It may alleviate but cure however great the
changes may be the disease will presently avages and
the patient will find himself was before Be the
rules of procedure what they may lawyers always pever them
and bring delay and evasion out of them.
For the New York judges would put end to the
demurrer used for sheer evasion delay or cery ten
times where used for the ends Justice The modern
lawsuit needs all in civil criminal ones either
What has the prisoner finding fault with the and
eni-colon the indictments He not brought into crit
se the grammar employed in accusing him. Yet those are the
very things do and the chances heavy LAWYERS
and Judges will become deeply interested in the punctuation and
cton of indictment that they forget all about The
prisoners business to clear his skirts of crime trial
not meant recitation in rhetoric though often that and
nothing more The indictment thing of minor consequence
If it specifies wrongdong with oerabe denteness sufficient
The prisoner being should be kept there
has indicted ALL until the question of his innocence has
been laid at This would be better for him society,"
The New York judges however go farther than declare
against civil suits Here of there nothing
whatever to say for the tricky subteruge
But forbidden lawyers would speedily find
something the end 1t fine thing to
sweep the seven devils of the the Bible Happiness
must have regned supreme there long they gone but
aene its state when they returned with others
sense the devil from the court rules long he still
holds sway the hearts of the lawyers Wise people tell that
the way stop drinking for each individual to off never
begin instead of eacng prohbory laws The get honest
politics honest and intelligent voters Why not apply
the same the courts Is not tina the simplest and
way get trials civil suits upright generation
of LAWYERS? that all lawyers dishonest far from it Their
nconqueabe prediction for ndrcon not SO much their fault
their misfortune They only display with little more vuece
the quality which everywhere noticeable in Amer
life This proclvy for letting the means outweigh the
end magnyng the institution and overlooking ITS purpose snort
giving an of all and forgetting the sub
which ought undere them So long as the form intact
idocay happy The purpose of it all hang tor
This the perfectly natural consequence
system education which is wholly occupied with forms and
ceremonies completely obvous of realities 1t IS absurd to
train I'D LAWYER to believe vocabe and puncaon marks are
only important things the universe and then expect HIM to
think justice is of account The mind as well as the hand
stained bv what it and the of the mind the worse
the two ndelbe The real reform OF Our courts
begin in schools and colleges
