legislatures, economists, newspapers,
periodicals. and even the president OF
this unmatched republic resoluting,
memorializing, convocating and de-
claiming against the high cost Of living,
which. of course. is tantamount to say

Send no man to the next legislature
who isn't pledged to the reform of our
clumsy, stupid, inefficient and out-of-
date system of court procedure. All
over the union lawyers who have
risen to the higher levels Of their
profession, where they can put the
public good and the safety of society
above their selfish personal interest
in system which makes for their
gain by increasing their chances to
acqult criminals, are demanding a
reform of court procedure Existing
conditions, In their effect upon social
order, have become an almost intot-
cradle burden, and the evil is so glar-
ing that it is now the rule in nearly
all the states for their governors 10
urge the legislatures TO enact the
laws necessary to remedy these con-
ditions. Such laws would have been
enacted long ago but for the presence
of majority of lawyers, or enou u
OF them, at any rate, who defeated
all efforts at reform because of a ms
taken idea that to abolish needless
teehnicalities and simplify the trial of
cases would hurt their profession and
injure their practice
Governor Guchrist urged the reform
Of our court procedure upon the last
legislature, but nothing adequate was
accomplished, although some steps
were taken in that direction. Over
in Alabama Governor C'NeaI, himself
a lawyer, recently delivered a mem
orable address on this subject. so
clear and convincing that no lawyer
can answer it; and if our present
rules of court procedure were torn up
by the roots and thrown on the scrap
heap as worse than worthless rubbish
and the system outlined by Governor
O'Neal substituted in their stead, ii
would be worth more to this country
than all other reforms combined now
advocated by our public men We
quote from a Gadsden dispatch the
following reference to Gov. O'Nea1's
speech:
The reform of the entire system
and method of criminal procedure in
Alabama was urged by Governor
ONeal here tonight in his address
before the Business Mems Club. He
gave some comparative statistics
showing that the United States mad
vastly a greater number of murderers
than any other civilized nation, with
less than two per cent paying the pen
atty Of the law. In Great Britain one
IN every four charged with murder is
promptly convicted and hanged, while
IN the United States the average is
one of hfty-six Over in Great Brit
ain one out OF every three charged
with murder is convicted and hanged
It is therefore necessary that we
should ascertain the cause of this
alarming condition which threatens
our security and lowers the standard
OF our civilization" said the governor.
The principal fault, in my judgment,
is the fact that the law in its hui
mainly for the criminal has to a large
extent failed in its duty to society
It has surrounded every criminal with
a magic cirIe Of technically and en-
abled the d-handed murderer 10
escape bis just punishment on &C
count of errors OF procedure which
do not affect the merits OF the case"

Yale took the chance and won.
