Some years ago Judge Amidon OF
the u. S. court in Fargo attracted ma
tiona1 attention by an address before
the American Bar association in which
he advocated reforms in the criminal
law practice of this country. Theodore
Roosevelt who was then president, was
so interested he wrote Judge Amidon
q personal letter commencing the lat
ter on his position.
President Taft, former jurist, has
been as deeply interested as any prac-
| ticing attorney in the proposed re-
forms. He wants technical errors ELI
minated as grounds for appeal.
The present judiciary system is a
Joke in many respects. 1t is antiquated
and a prominent American jurist-just
back from Characteristics this coun-
try is half a century behind that
country in trial procedure.
The American Bar association has a
| committee at work on prospective re-
form: and the members have report
ed the following as the foundation for
improvement in legal practice in crimi-
nal cases:
All objections to the Indictment
should be made before evidence is
heard, and errors in matters OF form
amended at once.
The prosecuting attorney and coun-
| sci for the defense should before trial
| consider and discuss the qualifications
Of the individual members Of the jury
panel and agree to the dismissal of
any one clearly incompetent to be
juror.
The voir dire should be limited to
the asking Of questions strongly tend
| ing to show incompetency or bias in
the present trial.
| All prisoners on trial upon indict-
ment. who are unable to employ coun-
! sci, should be furnished with legal as
sistance throughout the trial, including
the arraignment.
The prosecuting attorney instead OF
being a partisan, should investigate
the case from a nonpartisan stand
|
presentation Of the evidence to the
jury.
The fee system, wherever 1t exists,
for the compensation OF prosecuting
attorneys, should be abolished
Counsel for the prisoner should de-
fend him by endeavoring to disprove
his guilt, and never by injecting error
in the record.
| The trial judge should not be a.
mere presiding officer, but should take
an active and controlling part in the
trial. He should restrict counsel to
the asking Of relevant questions. He
should promptly overrule and dis
courage technical objections. He
should never permit counsel to irnme-
date or improperly to confuse a wit
ness. He should sum up the evidence
to the jury and direct them as TO the
law applicable thereto.
| New trials should never be granted
for technical errors, but only to pre-
vent miscarriage of justice.
Prosecutions for minor offenses
where the accused Is not likely to
evade the hearing, should be begun by
summons, as in civil cases.

The Sweet Girl Graduate.

This Is the season when the sweet
girl graduate" comes into her own.
Nearly all of my letters for several
weeks past have been from either Ju-
minors or the grave and reverend se-
niors" who are filed with anxiety as
to the proper thing to do. and the
juniors are so anxious to do them
selves proud in the preliminary enter
tainments for the graduating class.
Next to the wedding day there Is no
more important occasion than per-
haps the day the bud makes her bow
to society, and not all girls do that;
most of them, however, are pretty
sure to graduate and marry. In this
age of elaborate entertainments those
for the young woman just leaving the
schoolroom have their full quota OF
elegance At recent affair given for
the graduating class of fashionable
school the centerpiece was silver
basket filled with pink moss; instead
of a real silver receptacle. basket
glded or silvered would be equally
as effective. Candies of pink with
silver shades and place cards cut and
tinted in exact rose shades added
much to this color de rose table. The
nut holders carried out the same idea,
for they were tiny pink roses, the pa
per cases being inclosed in silken rose
petals. The ice cream was in shape
of pink roses with stem and leaves of
green candy. At each place was a
long rose, to which was tied
a small pink bag Of satin which con-
tained the graduate hostess gift to her
classmates - lovely amethyst pins
Graduation presents are now upper
most in every ones mind. and belt
pins. hat pins. bracelets and collar
pins are all safe purchases set with
semiprecious stones. and any girl
would be delighted with bit OF real
Irish lace in form of stock. collar OF

riages.
When the funeral procession started
every street car in London came to
standstill for a quarter Of an hour. All
the public houses in London were
