cJRCITT COURTS ABOLISHED.

Among the good works accomplished
hv the G1st Congress at its closing ses-
sion was the partial reconstruction "
the federal judicial system. The rec"l-
strIction escaped public notice 10 largn
extent because il was accomplished no,
through a separate law but through 4
proyision incorporated into the codifica-
tjon Of the federal laws affecting the
iudiciary President Taft referred 10
this provision in his speech at Atlanta
ON Friday. saving that II would expedite
litigation and make IT less costly both
to the litigant and to the government.
II will cost The liiigant less because the
procedure i'm the federal courts has been
smplified and will cost the government
loss because there will no longer he any
necessity of maintaining two separate
courts of original jurisdiction, with
their separate staffS Of attendants and
officers
The Tribune has long advocated the
abolition of The circuit courts by mcr.-
inc their jurisdiction with that of the
district courts. ] ne system luSI HnHt-
doDed WAS Il survival of conditions lonS
out Of date. The circuit courts were
originally created 10 serve rs appellate
courts. although for lack of sufficient
appelate business they also were vested
with an original jurisdiction in part
concurrent with and in part distinct
from the jurisdiction of the district
courts A. appeals increased the attcn-
tion of the circuit court judges had -
be given more and more 10 rchearlne
cases carried up from the district courts
The circuit courts between 1850 AMI
1890 became clogged with appeals, aud
Congress In order 10 relieve them, ana
also 10 relieve the Supreme Court. which
was far behind its calendar, passed the
act of March -, 1891, creating circuit
courts Of appeals and giving them final
Jurisdiction in large number of cases.
The circuit judges have since then spent
most of their time sitting in these new.
courts. though by the terms Of the In"
Of 1891 they could also sit in the cir
cult court of original jurisdiction.
Rut that law also provided chat dis
trict judges could sit not only III their

own courts but in the circuit courts ana
I'm the circuit courts Of appeals. so tnat
the distinction between the functions oi
the district and circuit Judges practicaii!
disappeared In recent years most o'
the work of the circuit courts mas nee"
done by district judges, and there was
no logical reason why the circuit ana
district courts should not bc combined
and the duties cf the circuit judges he
confined to appeals cases exclusively
Under the cid system il took an expert
to decide to which court q case properly
belonged In some suits the line OF
demarcation was simply the amount IN
vowed. In others there was an arbitrary
division. giving the admiralty and mari
time jurisdiction To the district courts
and jurisdiction in revenue suits To the
circuit courts. As we have noted. the
chief original distinction between the
circuit and district courts. as created by
the act Of I79S. was that the circuit court
was then invested with large iurisdic
tiop 10 hear ay"oals from the decisions
Of the district court. and when the act Of
1901 took away from the circuit court
that appellate jurisdiction there no longer
existed any legal or practical reason for
the continuation of the circuit court.
The simplfication of the SYSTEM was
delayed chiefly by that hesitation to
change judicial methods to which wc
owe the perpetuation Of many technical
hindra noes tn the DI-OmDt and ecOnOmi-
cal administration of justice. The con-
solidation of the circuit and district
courts may he taken as n happy augury
of the successful accomplishment of
other badly needed reforms in judicial
machinery and procedure.

FOR AN INDEPENDENT BOARD.


With the letter Of Mr. Charles T. How
land. president Of the Public Education
Association. to Mayor GaynOr persons
interested in the welfare of the city
schools will agree. The Mayor Is right
on one point as 10 the Board of Educl-

SAYS. forty-six are not a board but

of the body which should take it, place.

way in which the present board Is inde-
pendent. and should he composed. like

cestion that the commissioners should he
