Mr.. Taft's ldea or Heaven.
saturday Evening Post.l

Press reports Of the presidents
speech at Pocatello, Idaho, contain the
following: Il love Judges and I love
courts. They are my ideals on earth
that typify what we shall meet here
matter in heaven under a ust God"
In his first annual message to cons
gress, December 1909. Mr.. Taft said:
1.-THE deplorable delays in the admins
ration Of civil and criminal law have
received the attention Of committees OF
the American Bar Association.
do rot doubt for one moment that much
of the lawless violence and cruelty ex-
hibtied in lynchings is directly due to
the uncertainties and Injustice growing
out of the delays in trials, judgments
and the executions thereof by our
courts"
In his message Of December. 1910, he
said: Zone great. crying need in the
United States is the cheapenins Of the
cost Of litigation by simplifying ju-
dicial procedure and expediting final
judgment. Under present conditions
the poor man is at a woerufMisa dvant-
age in regal contest with a corpora
ton or a rich opponent"
Much else in the same straint might
be quoted from the presidents utter
ances-suggesting. certainly, that his
conceptions of heaven are deplorably
inadequate.
Away back in 1895. Mr. Taft then a
judge of the United States circuit
court, said
The opportunity freely and publicly
to criticise judicial action is Of vastly
more Importance to the body polite
than the immunity of courts and judges
from unjust aspersion and attack. :.
But nom professional croiticism also is
by no means without its uses. even if
accompanied. as it often is, by direct
attack upon the judicial fairness and
motives of the occupants of the bench:
for if the lay is but the essence OF COM
mon sense the protects Of many aver
age men may evidence a defect in ju-
dicial conclusions tho based on the
incest legal reasoning and profoundest
learning"

Social service, a department Of the

The Religion of Tomorrow"

1t will regenerate not only the in
Giividual, but also social conditions.
1t is based on the first and second
commandments" He regarded social
service, he said. as the fruit Of religion,
no, something new, but simply part
o. it. Taking this basis for his argu
ment he suggested some things the
women might do.
