DYNAMITE AT LAWRENCE.

The charges which have led to the

". II. Wood, president Of the Ameri-
can Woolen Company, are almost In

believe without the most positive proofs
that he conspired to plant" dynamite

MEETING THE RECALL.

The American Bar Association right
ly condemns the proposal TO recall
judges and judicial decisions as de-
structive Of one of the essential guar
anteeS Of security and liberty. 1t will
oppose the recall crusade most effec-
lively, however, if Ii follows the counsel
of one of the speakers at its recent an.
nual meeting, Mr. Frederick \. Judson,
Of St Louis, and exerts its influence TO
reform the faults in judicial procedure
which have caused most Of the present
discomfort with the courts. What peo-
pie are most dissatisfied about is the
excessive technicality Of litigation.
Premiums are put upon the delay and
defeat Of justice through misuse Of
the facilities placed In the hands Of de-
PENDANTS able to pay for procrastina-
ton. The cost Of suits has been multi
piled by cumbersome processes Of ap-
peal. and the public has come TO dis
trust to some extent the capacity of the
courts to do business simply and expe-
ditiOusly.
This is one manifestation of popular
unrest which is generally admitted to
be justified, and Mr.. Judson was not
guilty of exaggeration when he told the
Bar Association:
This public arraignment Of our
judicial procedure has appeared not
only In our state and American bar
associations, but in the popular press.
and this public arraignment has been
voiced by our foremost citizen. the
President Of the United States. himself
an experienced jurist who has declared
that the most conspicuous failure Of
our American civilization Is In the ad-
minstration of justice. both civil and
criminal.
The bar has been largely responsible
for the increasing complexity Of legal
procedure and the excessive Intrusion
of technicalities into the administra lion
of justice. 1t can do great work now
in guiding public opinion In the agita-
tlon for more simple and direct court
methods. The unthinklng bave been
disposed to blame judges for the faults
of the system In whose meshes they
are held fast and to favor crude re-
prisals, like the judicial recall. But re-
calling judges would not serve to re-
form a bad system Of procedure. IL
judges, lawyers and the public should
work together TO improve judicial
methods they would soon find that they
could get along satisfactorily on the
existing basis of judicial tenure The
American people have not lost their re-
spect for the fundamental principle of
judicial independence, which Is u nee
