Tillman received at the hands of his
colleagues in denying him the chair
manship of the appropriation COM

we are glad that the Senator showed
himself to be the great man he is in
accepting the result without bitter
ness. He put aside his rights and
feelings in the matter in order that
there might be harmony in the ranks

real service might be done the people.

HARD RAP FOR U. S. COURTS.

Boston Transcript: Ex-President
Taft's criticism at Montreal of the
American judicial system is the
theme of an outspoken editorial in
the London Times, which says;
"Mr. Taft's pronouncement is
bound to intensity misgivings which
many Americans have come to feel
in the efficiency of their state courts
and the system ON which they are
based. 1t would be mere flattery to
pretend that judges at these trib-
unals have anything like the stand
ing of our own judiciary. The great
and growing lack of confidence in
state courts, in their honesty and i'm
partiality, as well as in their tech
nical efficiency, is one of the most
disquieting phenomena observable in
America today. What the United
States needs more than anything else
is a reformer of the Jeremy Benth
am type, to restore common sense to
its codes and simplicity to the admin
istration. The criminal procedure es-
pecially, of America today is very
much as ours was in the time of the
Stuarts. 1t is hopelessly enmeshed
in technicalities, and neglects JUS
tice and perspective to chase after
impossible infallibilty of form.
at is hardly, indeed, too much to
say that in criminal cases as con
Quoted in the United States it is not
the prisoner in the dock, but the
judge on the bench who really is on
trial. 1t is the fetish worship of
forms and rules that makes judicial
procedure in America hindrance to
justice and a comfort to criminals,
and too many decisions of state
courts on social, industrial and con-
stitutional issues seem to have been
formed with the same quibbling spir-
it. They have lost touch with life
they have grown petrified in petit
Jogging distractions, and no prob
lem that confronts the American peo-
pie is more urgent or cuts deeper
than the problem of him to lead them
back to reality and common sense -

ROOSEVENT WRITES ARTICLE
ON PROGRESSIVE PARTY

NEW YORK, Sept 2O.-The cur
rent issue of the Century Magazine
carries an article by Roosevelt on
the Progressive Party" He calls
the two old parties ''incongruous
jumbles conflicting with principles
and policies, and lacking real differ
ences between them" He referred
to Taft in the article as follows
1.-THE doctrines laid down by taft as
a law professor of Yale give theoret-
ical justification for practical actions
of Penrose and Smoot." He also re-
ferred to the tariff bill in part as
follows: "The Democrats only per-
formance so far is in connection with
the tariff and with discreditable i'm
potence in foreign affairs AS a
means of helping solve the great in
dustrial and social problems the tariff
is merely red herring dragged across
the trail to divert the people from
the real issues. Wilson's new free
dom contains various well phrased
general statements, but no concrete
proposal for definite action. l doubt

AS time goes on the place the IL

ment' is the way that Librarian
Wadlin describes the relation, in this
report. Were the library to close
other agencies for information and
spiraticn would also have to curtail
their service. This fact, together
with the library's maximum use OF
its resources, day and evening, seven
days week, IL months of the year
with minimum of shutdown for hol-
idays, makes it a factor that for
constancy of social service has nc
rival in church, school, theater or in
any other form of instructor save
the newspapers. What is true of the
Boston Public library is virtually true
of all other libraries. The man ha:
