The Apotheosis Of Technicality.

The decision of tho court at
Cape Girardeau, voiding all Pro-
bate Court proceedings in St.
Louis for the last thirty years be-
cause of a mere technically about
a court order under which the
terms of court have been held, is
the apotheosis of the purely tech
nical and the abasemeDt of the
practical. 1t would be impossible
to do business, to conduct the or
dinary affairs of society, were such
technicaIities to prevail and all the
equities and practicalities of life
be ignored.
1t has become an ever increasing
complaint that the courts have be-
come so highly technicalized tha,
both equity and justice are outrag-
ed. 1t has become almost impos-
sible to convict criminals because
the courts pay 80 much attention
to forms and words and 50 little to
the actualities. Cases are revers-
ed for so small and immateriul
reasons as the omission of the
word "the" from the indictment,
and because the trial judge in his
charge used the word possibly. Iu
neither instance could it be sensibIy
contended that the substance of the
case or the verdict of the jury was
in any degree affected by the alleg-
ed error. These are but an indi
cation of what are going on in the
courts from the time a suit is en-
tered or an indictment drawn, un-
til the indefinite time long after
wards when the slowly moving
wheels Of so.called justice make
final determination Of the cas-,
without any consideration for jus
tice whatever, but consideration
only for the form in which its ad
ministration is clothed.
A judge is not judge under Cur
present court practice. He is
simply an umpire of statutes, de
cisions, court rules and technicall-
ties. A Judge is a man who take.
fundamental principles of equit,
and applies them. This is some
thing which has ceased to be done.
BY gradual process of building
up precedents the original founda
ton of maxims Of equity and jus
tice has been removed, and the.
courts are now resting upon falls.
foundation of precedents and sub
servience to technicalitics. Re
form must come, and since it seems
hopeless to expect it through The
courts themselves, or the bar,
which finds it's greatest employ
ment through the maintenance OF
the present system, the people
must force il the best way the,
can through legislative action. hop
ing, perhaps vainly, that the high
er minded and clearer visioned
members of the bar will lend them
the necessary aid.-St. Louis Star

that they were nearly all Of the same tenor.
First remark would be made about
the tremendous growth of Los Angeles and
the attractions of the land of sunshine, fol-
lowed by the explanation that the speaker
had relations here and that sooner or later
he expected to join them and end his days
in Southern California.
"Of course 1 knew that many were lay
ing their plans to this end" said Mr.. Shep-
ard. "but did not dream that 1t was so
general. If this is true Of Colorado. what

GREATER YIELDS IN FUTURE

Southern California will produce in
1910 about 5000 tons of walnuts. This
crop will mean a revenue to the grow
ers of at least $1,750,000. Last year the
yield was about 1900 tons.
Orange county produces the bulk Of
the walnuts and the crop there is light
er this year in proportion than in any
other part of the state. Whittier, Ri
vera and Santa Ana will continue, how
ever, to be the principal shipping
points Overproduction of walnuts is
little feared. The walnut is one crop
that requires the most careful selection
of both soil and climatic conditions.
The trees require a deep, rich soil and
the climate must not be too hot nor
too wet This limits the walnut grow
ing districts, even in Southern Califor~
mia. to a comparatively narrow area.
