REFORM FOR THE FEDERAL
COURTS.

For time the agitation of business
men, the press and progressive judges
and lawyers in favor of mOdernizatiOn
and simpHfication of legal procedure
and practice seemed vain and barren
of results. But no good fight IS VAIN.
Slowly, perhaps but surely sound ar
guments and eloquent facts overcome
indifference and Incidence, standpat-
ism and inertia.
Law reform is coming in the United
States. IT Is coming in state courts
and in federal courts. Professional
and business sentiment IS becoming in
creasingly active on the right side.
The Record Herald has recorder
the progress of the movement for re
form in the procedure Of the local
courts. The report of the house judi
ciary committee on the Clayton bill is
a very encoura ging document The
measure empowers the supreme court
10 adopt new rules OF practice for the
inferior federal courts. Complete and
radical changes are necessary. and no
one doubts that the supreme court Will
use the ak boldly on technicality and
empty forms. Efficiency and method
in the federal courts would afford daily
object lessons 10 state courts.
Congress is very busy and has ourn-
ing questions on its hands. But law
reform is also a vital matter. and time
should be found at this session, in both
houses Of congress, for final action on
the Clayton bill.-ChicagO Record
Herald.

TIE PuBIlc,s NEMESIS.

That disagreeable sensation caused
BY the mental impression that some
cody is pursuing you may be due TO
the fact that the railroads are assum-
Ing the role OF Nemesis and have
picked you as their victim. They are
certainly after you. and they'll get you
il you don't watch out
BY you we mean the public. the big
patron. the consumer OF transporta-
ton and other consUmable things You
are the meat upon which this our
Caesar feeds. you are the tender
nanny with which he delights to tickle
his palate.
The railroads have failed to convince
the public. IL not the commerce com
mission. that those operating east of
Chicago are entitled 10 five per cent
freight increase, and feeling convinced
that the commerce commission will
turn them down are proceeding 10 take
il out OF the public's hide in other
ways. They are holding up inbound
and outbound freight because of their
inability to handle the business with

pushing up the passenger rates.
Railroad officials insist upon prince
" salaries and stockholders must have
big dividends TO hold them. officials
and stockholders have been brought
up that way and can't get over il. In
some way the public must be forced TO
pay the freight. The railroads don't
seem TO see that they are creating pub
lie sentiment that will put two cents a
mile laws in more states and tighten
the law down on them at every point
but that is going to be the result Of
the high handed Outrages now being
committed in the name of economy.
In reality there is no such word as
economy in the railroad lexicon. Their
policies are marked by extravaganza
and waste. waste of money, material
energy and even of human life. Their
conception Of a public utility is pri-
Vate sinecure. They have no more in
terest in the public than that express
ed by one Of the Vanderbilts years ago

WHAT THE PAPERS SAY

"Rube" WaddeH is dead. He met
and fought the malady that claims so
many. but with no better success than
the thousands who before him have
laid down their lives a tribute and a
sacrifice.
But ne was wonderful man in his
way. He perhaps lacked something of
the stability of the great pitchers; but
who shall say that he did not succeed?
He played his part. He won to fame

HUMANITIEs OF INDUSTRY.

Germany may always be relied upon
10 furnish a happy surprise in the way
of Industrial reform. The latest news
from the fatherland is that all of the
owners of metal factories in Berlin
have united and purchased a 20 acre
tract of land near the city which will
be equipped for taking care of the VIC
Tins of factory accidents.
There viii. be built on this land a
hospital for the seriously injured ana
another sanitarium-like institution FOR
the convalescents. Those of the IN
Jured and convalescing wOrkmen VINO
might be able to do light gardening
and fruit raising will be given the OPP
pOrtunity 10 do this work under the
supervision of trained gardeners, ana
they will be paid wages.
Eventually, too. it is planned TO build
on this tract a number of small
houses with from a quarter to half an
acre of land allotted TO each house as
q garden. In these houses those VIC
tins of industrial accidents who re-
quire a long period of convalescence
will settle with their families. The
rent for such a house and garden Will
be much smaller than such a family
would have to pay for cramped
apartment in the city. This will give
not only the injured father but his
wife and children chance to recuper-
ate. 10 regain their balance in society
In these troubled days of unemploy-
ment. and poverty, and gloomy asser-
tons of social retrOgreSSiOn and decay
il is a relief 20 find such humanities in
industry. even if they are in a country
other than our own.--Chicago Tribune.

PREFERRED TO LEARN.

Children are often originatOrs OF
commendable ideas and suggestions.
If we but take the time we can be
taught many things by children. Willie

of Arkansas, refused free sight

fered as a prize by the department OF
agriculture in recognition of his abll-
itv at growing the best crop of corn

here the department of agriculture at
washington learned To value more
highly the wisdom and business acu-
men Of a boy, particularly of boys like
Willie Brown.
Willie Browns refusal of n free trip
TO the national capital caused the wise
heads in Washington 20 pause and do
a little thinking themselves. They
asked themselves this question:
Willie Brown. the boy champion corn
raiser. would rather take short
course in agriculture than free trip

for all farmer boys contests IN which
the prize heretofore has been "a trip 20

i'm the matter moved the officials TO
give him what he wanted And in the
future the prize for these state WIN

The influence of equal suffrage was
the most interesting and significant
factor in the Illinois elections on Tues
day. 1t was the one thing most
eagerly scanned by newspaper readers
the following morning. To degree
the result was to decide the question
as TO the attitude of women generally
toward the use Of the franchise and
existing institutions which they were
expected To antagonize.
The showing made was at once a
disappointment and confirmation Of
anticipation. In Chicago, where the
women had an opportunity to turn the
city over with "a registered vote of
.217,614 they cast only forty-three per
cent of it. their indifference exceeding
that of the men, who cast fifty-three
per cent Of their 455,2S3 registered
votes. They did not support the women
candidates for aldermen, but they did
help to eliminate some of the unde-
sirables
1t was peculiar phase of the wom-
ems vote in Chicago that they appear
ed to take a more discriminating in
terest in the bond issues than in the
moral aspect of the election. They
seemed to have concentrated on the
little ballot to save the city's money
to the neglect of their avOwed deter
mination TO eliminate certain elements
in the city government. Out of the
dozen bond propositions they defeated
all but two or three, including the
comprehensive subway.
Out in the state, where there were
less distracting interests and the issue
was directly wet" or dry" the wom-
en- strongly manifested their antipathy
to the saloon and yet improved only
about one-third of their opportunity.
out OF sixty-seven towns voting on
option the drys carried forty-four and

and saloons of out business. The
votes of women were felt with peculiar
significance in the coal mining district
in the southern part of the state.
where they voted the towns dry. The
uncertainties of female suffrage on the
liquor question were illustrated in
Springfield, where 1900 women voted
dry and 1876 women voted wet. The
same thing happened in Aurora, where
the woman vote was equally divided.
