SIMPLIFYING COURT PROCEDURE.

Governor Sulzer has recommended to the New
York legislature codihcation of the States laws
and general simpiication of court procedure that
ought to be adopted Without attempting analysis OF
the recommendations, it may be said that they read
as if they might have been prepared by Mr. Justice
Golf and District Attorney Whitman. and represent
their views of this sort of reform work. crystalized
and exhibited to the public through the trials of
Becker and the gunner
The appellate court of New York may perchance
find technical grounds for trials in those cases;
bur Governor Sulzer and public opinion have affirmed
the whole procedure, including the verdicts. If the
legislature will do as much, New York will have
stepped long way to the front of the procession
that is moving toward simple, workable economical
and effective administration of the law The various
reforms are recommended by commission that has
been studying the subject. They look to adopting
proposals repeatedly Endorsed, in general, by the
American Bar Association. They do not 60 so far
as the late Justice Brewer went in of his pro-
posals but they are good beginning. They would
make il impossible to secure a new trial on the
ground of error that did not materially prejudice the
defendant in criminal case; they would do away
with the demurrer; and in general they would make
it possible to expedite business and get verdcts on
essentials. -------.-----

THE STATE LEGISLATURES.

The legislatures of most of the States will meet
this winter Many of them will elect United States
Senators, and already that part of their business is
being transacted
There are deadlocks possibilities of deadlocks,
in Maine, Wyoming, Illinois, West Virginia, New
Hampshire and Tennessee; other States may de-
yelop like complications.
The legislature that gets entangled with a Sena-
toral election is generally of small service 1t can't
do mucn more than to struggle with that one problem
By the time a serious deadlock is broken it COM
monty develops that desirable Legislation has been
ogroIIed into convenient pigeonhoes and undesira-
bic measures have been bartered into the statute
books. 49,

TALENT CHILDREN
WIN MOST PREMIUMS

The Talent school has reason to be
proud of the fact that the children
carried off more prizes at the State
Fair than all the other sections of the
Rogue River Valley combined. Some
of those from this school who won
prizes on products sent to Salem are:
Henry Pace, field corn, SO.
Dorothy Cook, field corn, 81.
Elvin Wolgamott, sweet corn, SO.
Lewis Beeson, watermelon, 81.
Lena Browning, cabbage, SO.
Edward Johnson, onions, SO.
Cecil Ager, onions, Eureka seed
drill.
Mildred Lynch, bread, six cans
baking powder.
1t is but fair to the children of the
Ashland schools to state that their
fair was inadvertently held so late
that 1t was impossible to get any OF
the exhibits here to Salem in time
for the State Fair.
The committee on prizes met last
Saturday evening and made final ad.
justments and arranged for paying
the premiums on the various articles
exhibited at the Talent Industrial
Fair.

Woman Escapes Jail by Court Room
Proposal.

San Barnardino, Cal, Oct. "a
proposal of marriage received in the
police court here last week saved Ida
Baker from going to jail for six
months for having illegally sold
liquor.
AS Police Judge Heap was pro-
nouncing sentence he was interrupted
by Wolfe Sternbaum, who said he
loved the woman, wanted to marry
her and would give her a good home
if the court would have mercy on
her.
The prisoner said she preferred
matrimony to Jail, so the magistrate
forthwith sentenced her to marry
Sternbaum in 80 days or go to Jail

TALENT TO HAVE
SUNDAY CLOSING

The troubles of a city have de-
scended upon Talent and the dove of
peace has taken to its wings. And
all on account of the action of the
city fathers in ordering the enforce
ment of the state law as regards Sun
day closing. While Talent has always
been a dry town as regards saloons,
it has always been wide open on Sun
day, it having been customary from
time immemorial for the stores to be
open for a goodly portion of Sunday
forenoon. The billiard hall, the con-
fectionery, the meat market and all
were. open more or less every Sun
day. After an agitation of several
months the council on Monday even
ing ordered the state law enforced.
Just what that law is seems a mys-
terry to many and each man naturally
thinks his business is Disseminated
against. 1t is dollars to doughnuts
that in six months every business
man in the city will be glad that he
has his Sunday and would not &c
back to the old rule if he could
This has been the experience of prac-
tically every town where it has beer
tried out.
