President Taft is quoted as having made this statement in an address made a short time ago h Chicago: "There is,no subject I feel so deeply as the necessity for re- 1 form in the administration of both civil and criminal. law. To sum it allsup in one phase, the difficulty in both is undue delay.
 "It is not too much to say that the ad- ministration of criminal law in this coun- try is a disgrace to our civilization and that the prevalence of crime and fraud, which is here greatly in excess of that in European countries, is largely due to the failure of the law and it's admins trators to bring criminals to justice'' There is no question being more gen orally discussed by the best element of the citizenship of Jefferson county, than the necessity for reform in the admin istration of law. both criminal and civil, as it is now praeticed in the courts of Alabama.
 This has been brought about in part by the reports of the court officials in ref erence to the prevalence of crime in ti3is county, by the recent charges to tre grand jufies by the judges of the crim- iDal court by the crowded condition of the county jail. filled to overflowing with untried prisoners, and other circum- stances that have awakened public senti- ment to a point where a change is not only desired, but demanded.
 Lawyer and layman are alike interested, and both agree that a change is neces- sary but the question is what manner of change, and how it is to be broughs about? one distinguished jurist lays the blame fox the existing-conditions in part to the code of procedure which retards the administration of justice, cases being reserved on the merest technicality. often inal

In addition. every policeman in the city is ex officio deputy bailiff as is also the sheriff and every deputy sheriff in Cook county. The court was primarily constituted for the purpose of supplantng the police court and justice of the peace regime. but ow- ing to the overerowded calendars of the county and state courts, it was given ex- tensive Jurisdiction in both civil and crim- inal cases

Score the Fee System

Several members of the judiciary of Jefferson county score the fee system, with it's attendant evils, and attribute much of the present undesirable condi- tions to that cause. A consolidated court is suggested by Judge Nesmith, a sug- gestion that finds much favor among many members of the bar Various other
 reforms are suggested, but all are agreed on the absolute necessity for a change. l Some time ago there appeared in the
 "World Work" Magazine. an article by William Bayard Hale entitled "A Court That Does It's Job" in which is shown the operation of the municipal court of | Chicago. a court it is said that "has met the greatest need of our American insti- | tutions.''
 | The article referred 10 deals with the
 new court in all it's phases, and draws | a striking parallel between the old sys-
 tenn of court procedure in Chicago with
 it's many abuses. and the new order that administers swift and sure justice on the
 modern business plan.
 | Space prevents a full reproduction of | the splendid article by MT. Hale, but in view of the present agitation fin reference to our courts, it might be not amiss to give general outline of the Court That Does It's Job" with a suggestion that in
 looking for a way to better existing con
 ditions in Jefferson county the plan of the municipal court of Chicago might be
 given due consideration.
 Chicago's Municipal Court The municipal court of Chicago was
 created four years ago by statute which but faintly outlined the unique and pow erful institution that has sprung out of it The act creating the court abolished the police court and justice of the peace system in the city of Chicago, and per- mitted the city to create municipal courts with Jurisdiction and practice in crimi- nal and civil courts. such as the legis- ,lature might prescribe, within the city limits.

AS he lay there. with head pillowed
on the saddle, his body aching from
fatigue yet totally unable to sleep,
staring open-eyed into the blue of the
sky, the girl they had left behind
awoke from uneasy slumber, aroused
by the entrance OF Mrs. Murphy. For
an instant she failed to comprehend
her position, but the strong hrogue
OF the energetic landlady broke in

hidden in the bed-clothes. That was

too long to be inquisitive. The other

They rode on through the black. ST.

horses would consent to travel. Keith
led directly across the open prairie,
guiding his course by the stars, and
purposely avoiding the trails, where
some suspicious eye might mark their
passage. His first object was to get
safely away from the scattered settle
ments lying east OF Carson City. Be
yond their radius he could safely dis
pose OF the horses they rode, disap-
pear from view, and find time to de-
Velop future plans. AS to the girl

her. OF course. and see her again
sometime. There would be no diff

should retain no influence over him.
She belonged rather to Hawley's class
than his.
1t was lonely, tiresome ride, dur
ing which Neb made various efforts
to talk, but finding his white COM

lapsed Into rather sullen silence. The
horses plodded on steadily, and when
daylight finally dawned, the two men
found themselves in a depression le3d-
ing down to the Smoky River. Here
they came to a water hole, where they
could safely hide themselves and their
stock. With both Indians and white
men to be guarded against, they took
all the necessary precautions. picket.
Ing the horses closely under the rock
shadows, and not venturing upon
building any fire. Neb threw himself
on the turf and was instantly asleep,
but Keith climbed the steep side Of
the gully, and made searching survey
OF the horizon. The wide arc to the
south, east and west revealed nothing
to his searching eyes, except the dull
brown OF the slightly rolling plains,
with no life apparent save some dis
tant grazing antelope, but to the north
extended more broken country with
faint glimmer of water between the
hills. Satisfied they were unobserved,
