Court Reform

Fewer Judges and more justices
was the reform advocated by Cover
nor Hadley OF Missouri in an address
before the delegates TO the conYen-
ton OF the American Federation OF
Labor
Governor Hadley declared that If
there was only one-third Of the
present number of judges and one
half of the lawyers engaged in hear
ing and defending personal injury
suits the community would be much
better of
"Our judges seem to be far more
solicitous about protecting property
rights than safeguarding the rights
OF individuals" said the governor.
"Of something like s95,000,0O0 paid by
employers last year TO liability insur-
ance companies less than one-half
reached the pockets OF injured work
men or the dependents OF those who
were killed. The rest went TO pay
awyers fees and court costs"
As TO criticism OF the courts Gov
ernor Hadley said that there IS no
harm in criticising court after a
decision has been rendered Il do
not see. he says why the judiciary
should not have the correctness Of
its reasoning subjected to criticism.
This should be done for the protec-
ton Of just judges rs against unjust
judges, whose decisions are not bas-
ed upon good reasoning or good faith
with public morals We have been
TOO tender. too solicitous in our criti-
cism of The judiciary but the judge
should not be criticised while a case
is under advisement. Legislation
and court made law both are only
expression % .ae people OF the time,
and q decision which may be just at
one time may be quite impossible at
later date. '-BuVlington News

London, Nov. 1S-An apparently

eminent, it is asserted, designs to
pass the budget before appealing to
the country, the debate on the finan-
cial measure proceeding in the House
Of Commons while the lords are dis
GUESSING the veto bill.
That the American dollar and the
Irish Dictator will figure largely in
the Unionist campaign was indicated
by the excitement at the annual con
ference Of conservative associations
at Nottingham yesterday morning,
when Henry Chaplin, Unionist mem
Der of Pertinent for Wimbledon, and
/ former President of the local govern
ment board, in an opening speech de-
+ rourced the government, who, he
said was handing over the rule OF
/ the country to the sworn enemy of
England who with the gold OF foreign
millionaires aspires to dictate our
| destinies."
/ The political situation has under
gone many rapid changes within the
last two days
The Unionists were jubilant be-
cause Lord Crewe had been compel
led. in consequence of Lord Lans-
downe's astute tactics, TO introduce
the veto bill in the House OF Lords
The concession was purely nominal
however, the government insisting up
on having the bin, the whole bill and
nothing but the bill. Lord Crewe
somewhat CONTEMPORARY left the
Unionist leaders to settle among
themselves the date of the second
reading. The situation remains OBJ
scure with each party claiming to

SOME FAMOUS ENGLISH TARTS
Ideas from Across the Water That Are
Worth Copying by Ameri-
can Housewives.

Pastry In English assumes various
forms; but the one pre-eminently fa-
vored is the tart with top crust only
This is baked in a deep oval pudding
dish, In the center of which is placed
small inverted cup to support the
crust The edge of the dish having
been previously covered with strip
of pastry and moistened the top Is
then firmly pressed down upon II.
Next in favor is the tartlet. Patty
pans. lightly creased, are lined with
paste, and piece of buttered paper
filled with raw rice, kept for this pur-
pose is placed in each tartiet to pre-
vent the center putting up. The paper
and rice are replaced by fruit when
tie pastry is partially or quite done.
Open tarts, much larger. are made
in the same manner.
Cream Paste.-Cream paste is much
In vogue for special occasions. The
ingredients called for are one pound
Of -four, one-half teaspoonful salt. one
teaspoonful sugar. one-quarter pound
of fresh butter. one-half cupful OF
cream. SIT the flour, mix in
salt and sugar. rub In the but
ter, add cream, gradually form
Ing into smooth paste. The -four
may take up more or less cream.
The yolks of two eggs beaten in lit
tie milk may be substituted for cream.
Roll ont paste three times and use
at once.
Queens Apple Tarts.-One cupful OF
apple sauce. three tablespoonfuls of
currant or other Jelly. four eggs. sug-
ar to taste Line deep pie plate
with puff paste and bake a delicate
brown, Have ready boiled Gus
tard made from the yolks OF the
eggs and milk sweetened to taste
When the pastry is baked put
into it layer of half the apple
sauce, one of jelly, one of Gus
tard, then the rest of the apple sauce
Whip the whites of the eggs to a stiff
froth. beat in two tablespoonfuls OF
sugar Spread over tarts. and bake
light brown.
