EfoRM OF TIE JUDICIARY,

The General Assembly will be-
called upon to dispose of several
bills proposing a change in the
Sapreme Court. Amendments
to the constitution in regard to
the courts has heen sprung at
every session for the last twenty
years, and We appear M nearer
tn q solution of our troubles The
changes proposed have generally
resulted from political exegences
rather than from any serious de-
feet In the system. The present
agitation is no exception to the
rule.
II is proposed that two addi'
tioual judges he provided for the
Supreme court, which, it il
claimed, is overworked.
The Bar Association has recon-
mended that the practice o.
submitting or allotting TO ont
Judge cases on appeal be discon
timed and that the full court b

delay in getting a final decree. |
As a result of the present sys-
tenn there has arisen some de-
mapd for an increase IN the
number of judges.
As matter Of faci there is no
real reason for complainant de-
fects are imaginary. The work
in our highest court has been
prompt, and that it has been
satisfactory is attested by h'sh
regard in which its decisions are
received the world over. L"
say the least efficiency Of the
court cannot be improved oS
increasing the number OF judges
If the growth of business is
such as to overwOrk the Supreme
lCourt and in consequence reduce
Its efficiency, then it may oe
better to enlarge the jurisdiction
lof the court of appeals. Inc
court of appeals is made up o'
capable Judges and to give the =,
