A COURT WITHOUT LAWYERS

Germany has a system of peoples
courts from which lawyers are barred.
The object is to insure prompt and
cheap justice for the poorer elements
of the community. The procedure N
these courts is businesshke and free
from technicalities and red tape
Now Kansas has followed the ex-
ample of Germany and established by
law a system of lawyerless courts.
City or county commissioners are en-
powered to appoint a judge for debt
er's cour No.. M-.iCh lawyers are eX-
cluded. The plaintiff must tell his own
story, as must the defendant, There
are to be no technical pleas, and no
legal jargon. The judge may call wit
nesses, examine them in his own way,
or otherwise investigate the case.
A few such laws and experiments as
this may cause the average lawyer to
take some interest in law reform, in
1.-THE movement for efficiency, sanity and
simplicity in our courts of justice. Bus
mess men, too, will take notice AMI
ask why they, though not poor, should
pay for delays, meaningless technical
| tiles, yerbiage and professional tricks,
whether ethical or low Law reform
, is waiting for the AK, and Kansas has
made beginning.

WATCH THE SENATE
New York World.)

tNeW YORK WOrlQ.)
The high-tariff lobby at Washington
was concentrated upon the Senate.
Wig?
President Wilson pledged to take
monopoly and graft out of the laws,
carried forty of the forty-eight states
and was elected by 435 of the 531 cleo
torial votes. There was no chance for
the lobby in that situation.
In the House c Representatives
coming directly from the people, are
291 Democrats under promise to attack
privilege and plumber, and only 144
Republicans of every variety. Plainly
enough, that was another unpromising
field for the lobby
In the Senate, however, the margin
narrows and the hopes of the lobby
rise. The Democrats commissioned by
states and people to reduce the cost OF
living and check the Trusts and COM

PEARY ON ARTIC EXPLORATION
From the American Museum JournaD

(From the American Museum JournaD
With all that has been accomplish
ed, many hundred thousands of square
miles still remain of the 100000
square miles of unchartered territory
that existed prior to the expedition
that resulted in the discovery of the
Pole. To complete this exploration, .
replace with knowledge the tradition
and theory accrued during past years
IS the step Immediately before US, and
cannot fail to be of great value to
science.
Of unexplored regions in the North
there are remaining but two of first
Importance the inland ice can of
Greenland and the area represented
by the large black space on the map
bounded by Boring Strait and the
Pole, the western border of the Arctic
Archipelago and the known open sea
north of Siberia. The theories of cot
idal experts have it that within this
region lies an undiscovered Arctic
continent, or a series of large islands
separated by narrow channels, the
whole not greatly distant from Banks
Island, Prince Patrick Island and
Grant Land (the western limit of the
! rite Archipelago, while tradition
among the Eskimo and indefinite re-
ports of whalers strengthen the theor-
les in fixing the southern edge of the
unknown land not far north of Point
Barrow and the northern shore q
America. l must believe in the exist
ence of such land, one corner Of
which l saw from Cape Thomas Hub
bard in July, 100, in the mountain
peaks Of Croker Land.
If land of large extent be located
west of Banks Island and Grand Land,
the discovery from the standpoint 0t
future exploration will be of unusual
importance, since the new land will be
a base for penetration of the remand
er of the unknown area to the west.
In fact, since the theory of existence
of extensive land, one corner of which
is Croker Land and another not far
from Banks Island, seems so likely to
me and is so well accepted by many
expert geographers and mathemati-
clans, | would divide the remaining
greatest problems in the North into
two separate problems-namely, the
exploration of this land area and the
exploration of the adjoining area be-
yond, between the Pole and Berine
Strait.
AS I said regarding the Croker
Land expedition, l would that my
years were fewer that | also might
penetrate again into the enchanted sol
itude. l can hear the yelping of the
dogs, the shouting of the drivers and
forward rushing of the sledges, as, af-
ter days of weary travel across the
ragged sea ice, every man and dog
spurts for the shore of that untrodden
land lying a few yards ahead in the
brilliant Artic sunlight.

AN EXCELLENT EDITION OF An
EXCELLENT PAPER

Throughout South Georgia was read
with interest the recent Chautaqua
Edition of the Albany Herald, which
is an excellent edition of an excellent
paper. OF the many Chautauqua eui
tons which have been issued by The
Herald, the recent number is undouhI-
eddy the best.
That is saying a great deal too, be-
cause many other excellent editions
have been issued by the same paper
under similar conditions. But the com
pleteness and breadth of the recent
edition were notable. Practically ey'
cry industry and commercial enter
prise in this section of the state had
comprehensive mention and treatment
in the Chautauqua edition, while not d
place or county was omitted.
The people of Albany and Dougherty
are to be commended on the excellent
newspaper they have in The Herall
The people OF Southwestern Georgia
are fortunate in having The Herald tc
give them such helpful and widely cir
culated publicity every year. No agency
in the field of publicity is doing more
for this section than The Herald II
should have active and whole-hearteL
support from all who are in any way
interested in the progress and success
of this section.

ESTABLISH THE CHAUTAUQUA

Now that great success has crown I'd
the first Chautauqua held in Ameri-
Gus, the people of this city and section
have an opportunity of establishing
this institution upon a firm basis. :;
is only necessary for the support given
the movement this year to be renewof
in order to secure the Chautauqud
again, hut it is felt that even greater
support will be accorded this whole
some educational institution.
An opportunity is given to each one
who attends the Chautauqua, as well
as to all who may wish to attend next
year, to give pledges of support to the
institution to insure its being given
here next year Surely the requisite
number of pledges will be forthcom
ing within a very short time, as the
Chautauqua attractions here seem to
have met with general approval.
The ladies of the Americas and Sum-
ter County Hospital Association, who
through their labors made possible the
present Chautauqua, are endeavoring
tc secure pledges to bring even better
attractions to Americas next year. t.
you are willing to take one or more
tickets, it is only necessary that yol
sign one of the pledge cards stating
that fact. The people of this city and
section should rally to this movement
with such unanimity that the requisite
number of pledges may be secured be-
fore the present session is over.
A large number of those who have
enjoyed the program now being given
here have expressed their qualification
that such worthy attractions are being
presented to the people of the city. Let
every one who expresses these good
wishes make tangible record of the
fact by signing one of the pledge
cards. This is the most direct and eff
fective manner in which the people,
may show their appreciation of Chau-
tauQua, which may be made a perm
anent feature of the educational life
of this community if the people will
only show their appreciation in n
tangible way. This request is not q
heavy one, either, as the price Of the
tickets is very reasonable.
The results of these efforts of the
but it is surely not possible that the
people of Americas can be so callous 20
the merit of the recent Chautauqua rs
to refuse to indorse it for another
season. In fact, it should be made a
permanent institution and one which
will be a great force for good in the
life of this city and section.
