The deplorabie delays in the admins
tration Of civil and criminal law have re-
cetved the attention OF committees of the
American Bar association and Of many

my judgment . change In judicial pro-
cedure. with . view to reducing its ex-
penss to private litignnts in civil cases
and facilitating the dispatch Of business
and final decision in both civil and Grim
nal cases constitutes the greatest need
in our American institutions. I do not
doubt for one moment that much of the
lawless violence and cruelty exhibited
in lynchinGs 10 directly due to the uncer-
tatuties and injustice growing out Of the
delays in trials. judgments and the exc
cutions thereof by our courts. OF course
these remarks apply quite as we'll 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-
ness IL disposed of both on the civil and
the criminal side Of English courts under
modern rules of procedure makes the
delays in our courts seem archaic and
barbarous. The procedure In the federal
courts should furnish an example for the

Now, what right has he to think he

oranges from California? Not the as

DURUM DAY IN VERSE.

In the Martin Searchught, Herman
Saenger thus immortalizes Durun
Day in verse:
Our Governor, John Burke,
Beloved and well-famed,
For the seventh day of October
A Durum Day has proclaimed.
Because the flour of Durum
The common -four will beat;
Because it pays the farmer
To raise the Durum wheat.
On the seventh day of October,
Each patriot will eat
No beef, no pork, no chicken,
No goose or other meat.
On the seventh day Of October,
Sweet Durum buns we eat,
And pancakes made from Durum,
With coffee from Durum wheat.
On the seventh day Of October
The cook puts in the pot
But Durum, Durum, Durum,
But meat she cooketh not.
But Durlm mush and fritters,
(FSorget the waters 4ot)
But Durum, Lurum-Lurum
Eats a first class patriot.
Oh, Governor John Burke,
It's well, although methinks
You only speak Of eating,
But never mention drinks.
Your menu, Governor Burke,
Is incomplete, fear.
It lacks extract OF Durum,
It lacks the Durum beer.
You ask me who the writer
OF these horrible verses be-
Its the printer OF the Searchlight,
Who dabbles in poetry.
