overcrowded pockets.

/ A review of the status of the
business Of the United States Su-
lpreme Court presents a condition
that is typical of a great defect Of
| our judicial system, says the Pitts
burg Dispatch. Last year the court
worked -industriously according to
the established methods. At heard
and decided 45l4 cases. INotwith-
standing that many OF the cases
were of a character that required
more than the average amount OF
time, the court got through with
the average number of cases.
but in the same time 500 new
cases were added to the docket. In
other words, new cases are coming
nearly twice as fast as the old ones
are disposed of. Last year the
court was two years behind its BUSH
ness. This year it is nearly three
years behind Unless decided re-
t1ief is secured It is plain that 1t
must get more behind with every
year. aa 81
Some measures have already been
taken with the hope of relieving this
Econgestion. The abolition of the
United States circuit courts. as
signing the circuit judges partly to

1t is In the latter respect that the
full cure of the laws delay lies.
For the fact should not be lost
sight of that the need is not only to
provide against prolonging the de-
lays, but to insure their radical
shortening. 1t is in some respects
Ia mockery of justice that litigant

weary years for final adjustment
of his case. The fault is one com

widely recognized the conservatism
of judicial practice is SO strong that

voters know then what they have
done. They do not have to dele-
gate any one to complete the job.
It is fnished and they finish 1t t1em-

The primary election idea Is to
get away from conventions. If not
that, why should there be pri-
mary election at alI2 II delegates
are to be sent to statesconvention,
why should not delegates be sent to
a county convention? And if they
are sent to a county convention,
why should they not be sent to a
magisteriaI convention, and why
should not the convention idea go
as far back as the precinct? The
principle should hold good from the
lowest to the highest. If men are
to gather for the purpose of holding
a state convention, there is no rea-
son why they should not gather to
hold magisterial convention. The
direct vote should apply with equal
force to the highest and lowest OF
the state divisions.
