CHECKING AN ABUSE.

Judge Buck, superior Judge of San Mateo
county California. has set good example IN eX-
Guiding from the record Of notorious divorce
trial matters not germane to the issue but which
were sought to be dragged in to discredit in the
eyes of the public of the itigants. The attor-
ney for the defense began to question the plain
tiff. cross examination. to whether not
she smoked Judge Buck summary stopped all
Questioning along that line. So far as the issues
in the case were concerned he said il made no
difference whether the plaintiff did did not
smoke. lie declined to let the real questions in
voved be clouded by smoke He did not pro
pose to allow the injection of smoke into Che
case. 1t was irrelevant and mmaterial and other
wise ultra wires and Objectionable.
Judge Buck is to be commended for his de
termination to contine the examination Of wit
nesses within the proper limitations. Court prac-
tce in California has become cumbersome, tedious
and inteminable by reason of the extreme lati-
tude allowed lawyers in cross-eXamnng witnesses.
The record is numbered up with vast mass Of
irrelevant and inconsequental stuff by rambling
nqustionS which mere fishing excursions,
entered upon in the hope Of entrapping a witness
or getting ruling which to base technical
ground for appeal.
This abuse has had the effect of making wit,
neSseS avoid appearing III court. 1t proongs
trials to an unreasonable extent, wealies and ha-
raSSeS JureS and creates disgust at the almleSS
way in which inquiry is directed into wholly ir-
relevant channels. This methods of procedure
permits innocent third parties to be attacked
without recourse affording an opportunity for
defense. All sorts of Scandalous gossip affecting
persons having no Legitimate connection with the
ease at bar is given an airing and entered upon
the record to obscure the real questions involved
and swell the volume Of testimony taken by the
court Stenographer LitigantS thus put to an
unnecessary expense and the process of adiudca-
zion made tedious beyond description.
If other trial Judges will follow the example
set by Judge Buck salutary reform will be eff
fected without legislative action Process will be
cheapencd and expedited and the abuse of court
i privilege curtailcd Men will then not be 50 re-
Iuctant to do jury duty or give testimony. Liti-
CATION especially in divorce trials, will not then
be much devoted to scandal-mongering phil
andering and shfty ndirection Oakland

SIGNIFICANT MOVEMENT.

The movement among the business men of
New York, under the patronage OF the chamber
of commerce, to create what is to operate prac-
tically as substitute for courts in the settlement
of controversies between them, is most convincing
proof, if any needed, that the courts are not
performing their functions according to the intent
with which they were created
The purpose OF this very significant movement
is to settle, in a simple and comparatively mex
pensive way, outside Of court and without law
yers controversies which, ordinarily, would drag
their weary length along" through the courts
for years
A great deal has been said in the way Of
criticism of criminal procedure in American
courts 1t has come to be pretty well understood
that while there is little trouble in expedting
criminal trial when the life or the liberty of
friendess man without means is defendant
men Of wealth and those fortunate enough to
have at command plenty of money and legal
talent able to demoralize jury system III
the criminal courts and render it furtheSt from
what it was intended to be.
1t sometimes operates as a denial Of JUS
tice to defendant and oftener as denial
justice to the public. Money and legal talent
can practically out the law. This was
done in the San Francisco graft case
This New York arbitration movement among
business men emphasizes another phase of the
breaking down of the law under the procedure
Of the courts This proposed tribunal of arbtra-
ton is business and economic necessity, which
may haze some influence in inducing bar associa-
ton to awaken to the fact that the public must
have courts that not conducted for the bene-
fit of lawyers. but for the benefit of the entire
public.
In the British court the judge conducts his
court, In the American court the judge is FIRE
quenty at the mercy of quibbling attorneys
who adopt every possible means Of deception and
subterfuge to prevent the direct and expeditions
application of the law to the facts in issue AID
to entrap the trial Judge into error.
The fact that even in criminal causes poor
men and friendess persons are tried expedi-
tousy in accordance with every necessary Sen
prescribed by our procedure, proves that the
fault is not with the law, but with its admin
| istraton.

Probably there are many such in

Of the country is being spent in taking
care Of politicians in their decrepitude
on commissions which are unneces-
sary or which are doing no work
whatsoever. For three years the So
called commission on immigration was
the scandal of congress- It travelled
all over Europe, spent money Iayishly
and not until one member, minority
member at that-Burnett Of Alabama
threatened to resign and expose its
methods, did it ever make a report.
The monetary commission is doing
practically the same thing. There is
commission on fisheries, on the
boundaries Of Alaska, on postal rates
bearing upon the magazines, and there
will be one on the tariff without doubt.
This multiplicity of commissions
means a multiplicity of clerks and
salaries and heavy expenditures for
travelling expenses. With a congress
which is laying great stress on econ
omy, there seems every reason to be-
lieve that the resolution I have re-

the Athletics.
If the Athletics win the American
league pennant and the team is in
good shape for next season, Macks
retirement is almost certain.
Connie is a stakeholder in the Ath-

become an officer of the club. probably

direct the club the same as Charley
Comiskey directs the White Sox.
Mack is forty-nine, and at times his
