Speeding Up the La,o IN England

In reasonable time. In the Kings Bench
however, it was stated sometime ago
that it was hard to get a case heard in
less than two years from the time suit
was begun. In the last year, however,
the judges have been working overtime
and things are little better now.
Much of the congestion is due to the
antiquated system of British legal ad-
ministraton. At present there are 1f
Judges of the Kings Bench, each re-
ceiving $4,000 a year. Ten or eleven of
these sit in London, where the great
bulk of the countrys legal business is
done, and the others spend their tims

ways, when it would have been a sub
stantial hardship to compel litigants
and their witnesses to come up to London
and when to obviate this it was necessary
for the judges to travel about, hold
ing court in the various country towns.
With typical English conservatism this
system has been continued and even
though there be no cases a. an assize
town. as often happens, the judge must
travel there, solemnly open the court,
solemnly make a speech TO the grand
jury, solemnly close court, ana move
on to the next town where the farce is
repated.
The coming of a judge to an assize
town is no small matter. The judge,
be t remembered, is the personal rep

received by the sheriff, who in this
country is usuallay a rich man and
who must provide for him an elaborate
gilded coach with outriders and foot
men hanging on behind In this the
judge clad in all the glory of his red
robe and wig rides to and from his
hotel to the court and a trumpeter rides
or horseback before him to clear the
way.
AT the hotel the best suite of rooms
must be given up to the judge and the

that in his opinion no man was worth
more than $4,000 year.
Not even lord chancelor?" he was
asked
Not even lord chancellor" said Lord
Haldane, who as lord chancellor is draw
ing $4,000 a year from the pockets of
the British taxpayers. Lord Haldane fur
ther explained that the pension of sl75o0
year to which a judge was entitled on
his retirement was a great inducement
to men past the prime of life, who looked
forward to obtaining 1t after few years
of well paid service as judge The
commission has dealt really drastically
with this problem and their recommenda-
tons If they become law will go long
way to clearing the bench of Judges in
their dotage and obtaining younger judges
generally The commission recommends
that all judges should be compelled to
retro at Y or after an absence of six
months from Illness or incapacity unless
specially requested TO continue by the
lord chancellor and the lord chief Justice
Judges should be allowed to retire after
five years service. If In i'll health or in

additional $1,000 for each extra year OF
service up to maximum of $17500 1t Ia

10 years from the date of their appoint
ment as judges This system of SUPER
numerary judges would provide the nation
with a force of trained iurists who while
not physically able for continuous work,
should do much to reduce arrears. OF
course when actually serving as judges
these men would draw full pay.
Another reform proposed by the COM
mission which has aroused lot of dis
cussion is the abolition of the time hon

Puritans of the seventeenth century
guarded against looking upon the rosy
side of life, says Stray Stories. Because
Christmas is really a survival of tha
Celts' Yule, they refused to countenance
Christmas festivities. Not only did they
refuse to recognize the day. but they
made laws to that effect.
The Parliament of 1914 passed an act
ordering all law-abiding citizens to OBJ
serve the 25th day of December as q
solemn fast to be spent in silent atone
ment for previous Christmas days that
had passed in riotous living and merry
making.

in these hard and fast rules. and many

many plum pudding quietly boiled But

AS 1t is now. the Pura valley promises
to furnish a big export of cotton. 1t is
there that grows the famous native cot
ton of Peru. cotton which brings 8 or {
cents pound more in our markets than
we raise in America, and that is shipped
to the United States by the thousands OF
bales. The native Peruvian cotton is
sometimes called vegetable wool 1t has
a long fiber, and it is very like wool in it's
texture. We use it to mix with wool for
making OF hats, hosiery and underwear
1t is said to give the cloth a finer luster
and to render it less liable to shrink.
Indeed. this land seems to be the home
of the cotton plant. 1t was growing here
when Pizarro came, and he found cotton
cloth in the tombs of the people who lived
long before the Incas. The native cotton
grows on a tree which will continue to
yield for 20 years after planting. 1t is
usually at its best at three years, and af-
that it begins to decline The common
method of planting Is to put the seeds in
the ground with stick. and let the trees
reach a height of six or eight feet Az
ter that they are cut back from year to
year in order that the crop may be the
more easily gathered On other planta-
tions a single sowing is allowed to do for
several annual crops. The cotton begins
to ripen about 10 months after it is plant
ed, and the principal yield is obtained
when the plants are 20 months old
The picking is done by the native men,
women and children, who also sort the
cotton by color before it is glnned. l say
by color, for much of this Peruvian cot
ton is brown or red. The brown cotton
and white cotton grow on the same tree:
and there may be brown and white lint in
the same boil The colored cotton is
largely sold to the Indians, who use it for
their ponchos and hammocks

r ONDON, February 21.-(Special)
One of the most notable character
- istics of Ehglshmen at home and
abroad is their insistance on the excel
1ence of everything English. Occasionally
one will be found to admit that there is
one fly in the ointment. One will agree
that the army isn't all it might be,
another that the railways are bit be-
hind the times and third that some
times the politicians do not come UP
to the standard of Caesars wife, but
the Englishman who will admit that the
administration of the law in Eng
land is open to the slightest crit
tcism is as rare as a wasp in mid-wintcr
The attitude of the average Englishman
toward English law is that of Gilbert )
Lord Chancellor in "Iolanthe."
"The law, my lords, is the embodiment
OF everything that is excellent"
Recently. however, English worship
pers of the English law have received

plsint which is probably known IN every

however, has had 1t in particularly
viruent type and complaints became SO
many and so loud that something had
to be done and a royal commission was
appointed.
1t is only fair to say that most of
the congestion in the courts is in the
Kings Bench division alone, but the
Kings Bench division does fully nine
tenths of the legal work Of the country.
1t corresponds roughly to ,ne supreme

81 know" said Sir Stanley, that
there have been others who have done
splendid service after 20. There is the
case of Lord Macnaghton, but I often
think that the service he rendered to
the law was more than met by the
people to point to and say There, see
what a man can do after TO-"
The reform proposals of the royal COM
mission are not very sweeping, but it is
hoped that if they ae adopted they will
go long way to relieve the present con-
gestion. The abolition Of the circuit sys-
tem,, as might have been expected, Is not
recommended, but only readjustment.
1t is proposed that judges should not be
compelled to go on circuit whether there
is work for them or not. If there are
not at least three cases on the calendar
at any assze town a fortnight before
the assize date. that town is to be missed
out by the assize judges and the cases
transferred either to London or to an
adjoining assize town. The Judges 30 re-
leased are to sit in London.
1t is proposed to shorten the long vaca-
ton by 10 days. This is n compromise
after a bitter fight. Lawyers and judges
fought for their holiday while Lord Hal
dane. the lord chancellor, who was a
member of the commission, urged that the
courts should be kept open all the year
round. while the judges took their holi-
days in turn.
1T Is also proposed to lengthen the
judges working day. At present the
courts open about II a. m. and rise when
the Judge feels tired. 1t is proposed that
the opening hour shall be 1880 a. m. on
five days of the week and IL a. m. on
Monday. The closing hour shall be 4:30
p. M. except on Saturday when 1t shall
be 80 p, m.
1t was on tho question OF the age of
judges and incidentally of their salaries
that the most division of opinion was ex-
perienced. Few men become judges in
England much under 60 years old and
the average is nearer 65, and this was
explained by the fact that the salary Of

court.
British conservatism has made the
system still more ridiculous. One would
expect at least that the assizes would
be held at the most populous town In
the county, but this is not so. The as
size town is the seat of the county
government fixed hundreds of years
ago and in most cases 1t is now lit
tie more than sleepy village. The big
eenters of industry are too modern to
be honored by the presence of one of
his majesty's judges Thus in the
county of Monmouthshire the assizes
arc held at Monmouth with a popula-
tion of 5000, while Newport in the
same county has a population of $1,000
and no assizes. Great cities like Hull.
Sheffield Plymouth and Brighton have
no assizes. The result is that litigants
in these centers often find 1t easier
20 go to London than to their own
county towns and the work Of the as

them mummies have been dug which look
almost az fresh as when they were budied
They are quite as fresh Is the mummies
In the museum at Cairo. They were usu-
ally cured in a sitting posture, wrapped in
cloth and tied up with string.
During my last visit to Peru | visited
a number OF cities from which such mum
mics hav been dug, and near them saw
piles of skulls from 10 to 15 feet in height
Nothing seems to decay in the desert and
there are long lines of skeletons of ami
mails scattered here and there over the
sands.
During a former trip to this desert I
visited one of the ruins of cities that were
in existence long before the Incas came.
In the Jequetepque (Kek-e-te-pe-ke) val
ley back of Paeasmayo | found a large
mound which was once the site of a pal
ace. or possibly a temple devoted to the
vestal virgins of the sun. All about me
were bits of pottery of an unknown ma
ton of the past. The remains showed
that the building was nearly square and
it was 500 feet wide at the base. 1t was
made of adobe and then plastered on the
outside with mud and washed with color.
Not far from that place up in the An
des is Cajamarca, where Atahualpa was
imprisoned by Pizarro until he filled the
room which formed his cell, as high as he
could reach, with gold, in exchange for
his liberty. After Pizarro had gotten the
gold he had the Inca chief killed. little
farther south Of here is the town of Tru-
jillo. which was founded by Pizarro and
named in memory of his native home in
Spain. The town is older than Lima, and
it has now about 1900 or 10000 people.
In this same desert is the Chuncana val
ley, where short time ago Mr.. II Hewett
Myring unearthed pottery which is sup
posed to have been made by people who
who were old when the pyramids were
young. They lived from 700 to 10000 years
ago. They had remarkable artistic

beauty. / have before me some photo
graphs of it which were recently taken
for the London News The objects are

London.
I find the desert of Peru wonderfully in
teresting. Parts of ii are rocky, like much
of the Sahara, and many parts of it have
as fine sand as that which surrounds the
pyramids on the banks of the Nile. In
some places the sand gathers in drifts or
great mounds, and theoe mounds are
moved along by the winds. The mounds
are in the shape of a crescent They are
made of millions of millions of little
grains of sand not as large as mustard
seed, which the winds roll up over the top
of the crescent. These sand mounds
travel always in the direction of the
Winds which are here toward the north.
They climb over the hills and make their
way through the valleys. They will not
stop for roads or railroads, and they are
a terror of the civil engineer Some of
the railways that cross the desert have
been swallowed up by them again and
again, and it is impossible to keep them
back by such arrangements as our snow
sheds or fences They have to be shoveled
out for the trains to pass, and the track
be relad until they have gone on,
Such sand hills often cover the paths of
the desert, and the blowing sand fire.

have spoken of Paita a port that
will furnish business for the Panama
canal. The town has a railroad to the
Piura valley, which is about 60 miles in
land and am told that this road might
be extended a distance of 400 miles over
the Andes and connect with the Maranon
river. one of the great tributaries of the
Amazon. This extension would put Paita
