Lexington shows and expendi-
ture Of $40. During this
time over thirty families have
been provided with coal and
groceries and the committee is
at the present time investigating

more with the view Of helping
them. The recent prolonged
cold spell has caught a great
many of the poorer families of
the city without coal or food and
it has been the endeavor of the
Associated Charities to remove
these conditions in homes where
help was really needed. 1t is a
most commendable oganization
and it is hoped that all the bus
mess men of Lexington will
support this method of charitable
giving.

LET THE LAWYERS PLAY FAIR
WITH THE PEOPLE

The lawyers in Jacksonville arc
oestirring themselves to secure sup
port for the proposed constitutional
amendment to create an additional
circuit judgeship for Duval county.
A committee of the local bar there
Is circulating 10000 copies Of a let
ter giving reasons why the amend
nent should be adopted, and one OF
them is as follows:
"Our litigation is being handled
today by the same machinery pro
yided for us twenty-seven years ago,
although we have more than fou:.
times as much population and bust
ness. :"
No one will quarrel with that red
son why a new judgeship should be
created, and, reasoning along a par
alIel line, we want to osk our legal
friends single pertinent question
suggested by the quotation above
from their printed appeal to support
the amendment: II court machine
cry only twenty-seven years in use
is too old to meet the requirements
OF present day litigation. why isn't
court procedure more than CEN
fury old, whose weakness is demon
strated at every session of every
court in which it is in use, and
which has become the gibe and scorn
OF the press and people Of the whole
country because of its grotesque in
adequacy and disastrous effects upon
the administration Of justice-why
isn't such court procedure likewise
too old to meet the requirements OF
present-day conditions?
Even in England, where this pro-
,edure originated and from whence
we imported it, it has been discarded
as out worn and inadequate for moro
than "A generation. But we cling to
i. here not from any reverence for
old things, nor because it answers
the purpose better than any other
system that could be adopted-but
because our lawyers. who make our
laws, find it better suited to promote
their professional interests than the
new and simple rules long ago adopt
ed in Great Britain and Canada by
which the interests of the lawyers
are held to be entirely subordinate
to the interests of justice.
What other reason than this can
be given for retaining a procedure
which works with such monotonous
inefflciency that when at rare inter-
walls it actually serves the cause of
justice on the criminal side Of the
dccket-and lays some well-defended
law-breaker by the heels. the delight
