MLONDON TIMES" FL0UTS
u. S. JUDICIAL SYSTEM
Restoration of Common Sense
to Code and Simplicity to
Administration Needed.
INV Cable to The Tribune !

London. Sept. 5.-Ex- President Taft's
criticism at Montreal of the American
judicial system is the theme Of an out
spoken editorial in The Times" when
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. II
would be mere fattery to pretend that
Judges of these tribunals have anything
like the standing of our own judiciary.
The great and growing lack of con-
fidence in state courts, in their honesty
and impartial lily, as we'll ds in their
technical efficiency, is one OF the most
dsauieting phenomena observable in
America to-day. What the United
states needs more than anything else
is a reformer Of the Jeremy Bentham
type, TO restore common sense TO its
codes and simplicity To the admins
traton. The criminal procedure, espe-
cially, of America to-day is very much
as ours WAS in the time of the Stuarts.
II is hopelessly enmeshed in technicali-
ties and neglects justice and perspec-
tive to chase after impossible infallibil-
ity Of form.
1T is hardly, indeed too much TO say
in criminal cases as conducted in the
United States that it is not the pris-
oner in the dock but the judge on the
bench who really is on trial.
1t is the fetish worship Of forms and
rules that made judicial procedure in
America a hindrance TO justice and
comfort TO criminals, and too many de-
cisions of state courts on social. indus
trial and constitutional issues seem TO
have been formed with the SAME Quib-
bling spirit. They have lost touch with
life, they have grown petrified N petit
Jogging distractions, and no problem
that confronts the American people is
more urgent or cuts deeper tnan the
problem of how TO lead them back to
reality and common sense"
The announcement fromPhiledelphia
that Lord Haldane's address TO the
American Bar Association was the de-
clared policy of the British govern
ment is receiving considerable promi-
hence in this mornings papers The
Daily Mail hopes the snnoanco ment is
as true as it is interesting.
The Standard" says: IF it is an
earnest of the intention to bring about
an Anglo-American alliance. we are
afraid his majesty's government is too
sanguine and distinctly premature. un-
less, Of course, ii has some real reason
TO suspect the whole trend of American
policy, since Washington is likely to
undergo a change under the menace OF
external dangers"
