Expsditing the Wheels of Justice.

The Minnesota state supreme court is set
ting an example TO other ludieiaries in the mat
ter OF speedy justice by keeping abreast of its
work, our supreme court" says the Mime
apolis Journal, has so systematiIed its work
that delay has been practically eliminated, and
that, too, without falling into the danger of too
hAsty decision" Justice George l., Bum, a
member Of the court, telling how this is accom-
plished, says consultation Immediately follows
the days arguments, the decision Is reached
and the opinion written while the case is fresh
in the minds Of the judges. The system may
have It's faults" he adds, after detailed ex-
plAnAtion, but It has such important advan-
tages that We much prefer Il. II is the only
plan that enables the court to keep up with its
work"
Avoiding delays means In very many in
stances avoiding a denial OF justice, Many liti-
sants are worn out physically and exhausted
financially because Of the archaic methods OF
many Of our courts Much OF this uproar
against the courts in these latter years is the
result o. patience outraged AZ the intolerAble
hardness Of the wheels OF sO-called justice. II
the court Of Minnesota can devise a way Of
speeding up the machinery, then other courts
should also be able 20 do il.

An Unexpected War.

II there IL anyone who BY nov does not be-
ileve that the European war came on uneT-
pcctedly and contrary 20 all plans and purposes
Of the continental powers. let him turn 10 the
Department Of Commerce's records Of "Domes-
tic lead az new factor in the export trade"
There he will find that in the last four months
Of the fiscal year ending June 30, 1914, 40
900. 900 pounds Of this stuff they make bullets
OF were shipped from the United states TO Eng
land. Germany. the Netherlands. Scotland. Bel
GUM and Russia, and that prior TO this time
for many years domestic lead had been a negli-
gible quantity In export trade.
The warning nations seem to have over
looked this point In their public representations
that they neither expected nor prepared for the
slaughter now enthralng them. II would seem
like a most prodiga waste OF good money to
lay in such vast stores OF war munitions II no
war we're thought to be in sight. OF course
intelligent folk have feared for a year or two
past that the conflict for which the people Of
Europe we're being taxed 20 their very teeth
TO maintain was all too near at hand And
when the war came II came only the newt
able as tho grim logic OF the determinate coun-
sci OF certain powers and principles. History
we fancy, will be very emphatic on one point
and that Ia that the war was discounted Ions
before IL was declared.

Democrats and Postoffices.

our democratic postmaster general Ia pro-
posing 30 many radical innovations in the postal
service. one after the other, that II il hard TO
keep up with him. His desire to uproot rural
free delivery in order to go back TO the old star
route system has been followed with a plan to
abolish assistant postmasters, which likewise on
paper figures out tremendous economy, but,
as the indianapolis News points out, would prob
ably be at tremendous cost OF efficiency in
eliminating the chief officer who stays on the
Job. and makes the postal business his life work.
The indianapolis paper suggests that II the post
master general Is anxious TO do any abolishing
In the interest OF economy, he should abolish the
postmaster who in most cases Ia a purely poiit-
ieal appointee who could be dispensed with with
much less damage to the public. although. OF
course. there are exceptions Quoting from the
indianapolis News
We shall never have real reform until we take
the whole service. from top to bottom. out OF the
hands OF spoilsmen and patronage mongers. The
posmasters ought to be brought within the classified
service appointed for merit and fitness without re-
gard to politics. and retained during good behavior
And they ought. preferably. TO be chosen from men
In the office In other words there should be promo
ton We can have efficient service on no other
terms There are many postoffces that would be
wrecked II the assistant postmaster should be re-
lieved OF his present duties IL Il had been intended
that postmasters should perform the duties per
formed by their assistants, men should have been
chosen for the chief places who were known to be
capable OF performing them. We agree that with
qualified postmastors there would be no need for
assistant postmastera But postmasters being what
they are tho assistants are the backbone OF the
service
But politics is politics, and 80 long as the
democrats, are hungry. the postmasterships will
not be put In the classified list--not until they
aro all distributed TO democrats.

Anomaly of the War.

The world is moved to the depths OF pity
by the profound pathos OF Belgiums plight in
the present war. 1t Ia. indeed. the anomaly OF
the war that tho brunt OF battle should have
fallen on neutral nation. The situation seems
to touch the hearts OF even the invaders them
selves, acting, OF course. only In response to
the grim rules OF war.
But. after all, there Is nothing new in all
this, In peace and war the principle OF the
innocent suffering for the guilty. so to speak
is as old as the hills, though mortal men find It
hard 70 justify. The thing that must give Bel
gium greatest distress at this time is the failure
OF any OF It's friends the allies, 20 render II ef-

mands that II Belgium is not released from the

assistance in the end some way or other to
help II meet them.
