Root 10 draw wrong conclusions when he

Woodruff Barnes Go. and those OF
their ilk took up Senator Cobb Is no fault

COURT PROCEDURE.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Quite recently many OF our Judges.
including a Justice OF the United States
Supreme Court. have suggested certain re-
forms in court procedure whereby existing
evils may be best corrected. Absolute jus
tice is nearly impossible OF human achieve
ment. but a much nearer approach to II
than now obtains IS not only possible but
very desirable.
The writer has given this matter much
thought and study. and submits the fol-
lowing:
F'irst-COurt procedure in first trials TO
remain as IL is now. with such corrections
Of existing abuses as may seem advisable.
SecOnd-All appeal eases 10 be submitted
to the higher tribunal by briefs only. and
In such form that neither the judges nor
any one connected with the court shall
know who the Iitigants are or the value
or location Of the property IN dispute. or
the actual issue 10 be decided other than
shall be gained from a description of a
similar or parallel case IN other words,
when a case is submitted on appeal the
plaintiff shall be a" the defendant -. ."
etc. and the case shall be stated as nearly
as possible I'm the form I'm which one would
put hypothetical questions
Also. IL the case AT issue Is between an
iTdividuaI and corporation. II must be
stated as il both parties TO the action we're
either individuals or corporations. and
nothing whatever shall he permitted i'm the
briefs that will identify the plaintiff or
defendant or that will disclose to the judge
or judges any identifying details OF the
primary cause Of action other than can be
stated I'm a parallel case
The details Of this plan can he improved
upon By those learned IN the law. and

Justice than is possible 20 obtain under
our present system CHARLES FISHER.
