was eliminated from the system. There
are now three steps in litigation from it's
inception to the final decision from which
there Is no appeal With the exception
of a very few isolated cases, the legis-
lation in the federal courts begins in the
district courts. Appeals may be taken
from these courts to the circuit court Of
appeals. If the litigants are not salts
fed with the outcome of their cases
there. they may. within certain hmita
lions, carry them up to the Supreme
Court The less important cases are not,
as a rule. permitted to be carried up to
the higher courts. The law seeks to pre-
vent the crowding OF the docket Of the
higher courts by providing that final
Jurisdiction in unimportant litigation may
rest in the lower courts.
Each court has it's own seal. its own
records and its own officials. There is
United States district attorney, a
United States marshal and such clerks
of the court as its business demands in
every judicial district. Each district

and seventy-odd district courts
In addition thereto there is the
Court of Claims. in which all claims
against the government are passed upon
the Commerce Court before which are
brought all matters relating to the inter-

the Court of Customs Appeals, where the

The Supreme Court, the circuit courts OF

over everything not specifically delegated

The judicial system of the federal gov
eminent was entirely revamped in 1911
under an act to codify. revise and amend
the laws relating to the Judiciary. The
statutes under which the court acted
prior to that time cover over 5000 sec
tions in the statute books of the coun-
try. 1t was a great undertaking to get all

same time to change certain features of
the judicial establishment.
AS the judiciary was formerly composed
there was a Supreme Court. with a CHIEF
Justice and eight associate Justices; nine
circuit courts of appeal. with three judges
each; seventy-seven circuit courts, one
in each judicial district, which courts
were required by law to hold sessions In
276 different places, and seventy-seven
district courts, which were required by law
to hold sessions in the same places. There
were twenty-nine circuit judges and nine
ty district judges on the bench. Under
the old system the aggregate number or
DAYS in which the circuit courts OF the
country were in session was $4,000 The
pressure of work had grown so great that
the district judges had to preside over the
circuit courts for 1900 days, leaving only
1000 days in which circuit judges pre-
sided. The result produced sort of Ju-
dicial anomaly. A district Judge would
be sitting as such, and during the day
the calendar would be completed. No
other cases being ready for trial. the dis
trict court would adjourn. The judge,
without leaving the bench, would call an
other clerk who would bring in another
docket. and in many cases another crier
would proceed to open the circuit court,
and the district judge without changing
his seat, would proceed to dispose OF the
circuit court docket.

Two Important Departments.

He took up adult Bible class and teacher
training departments, saying: "These two
departments will be reported in detail
during the convention. Both are doing
effective work. The organized adult Bible
class has brought into the work Of the
church and Sunday school a distinctly
new and vigorous force, which seems
destined to remain and to increase in
power and usefulness. 1t has given the
Sunday school a stronger hold upon the

Conservation of Coal.

The wasteful cultivation of the soil
and the reckless destruction of the
forests are not especially serious mat
ters, because at any time the communi-
ty, Individually or collectively, can stop
the waste Twenty or thirty years will
produce new forests, and every farmer
working individually and in his own in
terest may increase his harvests per
acre cultivated.
But so far as we know mineral pro-
duction is not going on. Nowhere in
the world do the geological condition
exist for the production of coal, oil
and metallic ores. If those processes
were going on they would require for
completion a period of time so long in
comparison with all the time that
human history and tradition known of
that it amounts practically to infinity.
We do not suppose that all the
secrets of nature have been probed,
and electric power generated by
streams and solar power, and possibly
powers that we know not of, may
make the world habitable for millen-
NUNS. But how rapidly these can be
made useful we know not. How rapid
ly the worlds mineral products are be-
ing consumed we know altogether too
we'll. 1t is of the utmost Importance
that the government, science and capi-
tai should combine to enforce econo-
mics in the consumption of our mineral
