REFORM Of COURTS
URGED BY CRAWFORD
SOUTH DAKOTA SENATOR SAYS
THEY ARE SUBJECT no FIRST
CRITICISM But HE OPPOSES
THE RECALL.

Jersey City, n. J.-Independence
the need of remedying defects in jul
dicial procedure, civil and criminal,
were urged in a speech delivered by
United States Senator Crawford of
South Dakota last night before the
Abraham Lincoln association, which
has celebrated Lincoln's birthday
since his assassination. Mr.. Craw-
ford's theme was THE Federal I'm
ion and the States" He said, in
part:
While it is necessary to maintain
the dependence and fearlessness OF
the judiciary, we should frankly re-
cognize the fact that there is much
which calls from criticism in the adj
ministration of our courts. There
are many defects in judicial proceed
ure, both civil and criminal, which
all admit should be remedied. The
irritation and uneasiness OF the peo-
pie and their hostility to the courts
are largely created by the inferior
federal courts. Should an amend
ment to the constitution fixing the
term OF the judges or n interme-
date and lower courts at a period OF
six to ten years he proposed, it
would probably be ratified by the
necessary number of states because
OF a prevailing opinion that some of
these federal judges are too indiffer-
ent to the rights Of the people and
not sufficiently responsive to present
day needs, when passing upon issues
between the people and special inter-
estS.
Congress has, perhaps, created
too many of these lower federal
courts and been too liberal in grant
ing to them powers of injunction,
plain proceedings against the officers
of a state attempting to enforce the
statutes of a state.
1T is a matter of doubt whether
the new courts of customs, of com
merce and OF patents, were wisely
established. 1t is these inferior and
intermediate courts that are often
the ear OF delaying rather than
promoting justice.
But On the other hand we should
beware in our eagerness to .cotrec,

Necessarily to the Jew First.
Although God had not mentioned this
elect class which He purposed should
be members of the Messiah, His Bride.
nevertheless God determined that the
opportunity to become members of this
elect, special class should first of all go
to Abraham's natural seed. For the
three and a half years of Jesus minis
try. and for a further three and a half
becomin. His Bride and joint-heir was
limited To Israel after the flesh.
Later. it was sent OH equal terms also
TO the Gentilcs. Saint Paul tells us
that it was necessary that the Gospel
Message should so first TO the Jews be-
cause this was the Divine arrangement.
But he adds. Israel hath not obtained

members of the spiritual Israel-"but
the election hath obtained it and the
rest We're blinded (tomans XII. ~
The blindness is not to be forever, but
merely until the completion of the
elect. spiritual class-then the blind
ness is to pass away and Israel Is to be
saved or recovered to the Divine favor
lost eighteen centuries ago (See Ro.
mans ri, 25-33).
AS Jesus declared, My Kingdom il
not of this world (Age)." and as File
did not establish His Kingdom at His
of calling the elect" so the work of
John the Baptist was merely to the
Jew and proportionately only was he
the antitype OF Elijah. A larger anti
type of Jesus. and of Elijah and John
as ~forerunners. we may now see
Jesus in the flesh. and all His faithful
members in the flesh for eighteen cen
turtles. have constituted the antitype OF
John the Baptist. The King whose
Kingdom they announce will be com

Bride, beyond the veil. These soor
