OUR COURTS

Little wonder that President Taft himself a
trained jnrist of the highest standing, has in.
sisted that the greatest reform Immediately
needed by the American people is in the courts,
municipal, state and federal. His frequent pro-
tests against delays and high expense in Iiti-
CATION are as well known as his pleas for such
4 reorganization of courts and codes ais to sim.
Pity procedure.
The item of expense does not rest so largely
npon the litigants as upon the public. For in
stance, opposing counsel consume a half. day
IN wrangling over minor and irrelevant legal
points often introducing bitter and vulgar per-
eonalities, and the public pays the larger part
o. the expense. Or, a case drags along for a
week which should have been finished in a few
hours because the judge has not held counsel
efrictlyto business and defended witnesses from
unnecessary questions and from brow beating;
and the public taxes are enlarged tor the snip
port Of Judge, jury witnesses and. Court attend
ants.
The people themselves should therefore he
more vitality interested in the courts The jus
dietary belongs to the American people as fully
s. the executive and legislative departments Of
government and the people have an inherent
right to demand not only greater dignity, quick
e. dispatch, and more eyen.handed justice be-
tween rich and poor, but also that the expense
be more than cut in two by the enforcement Of
simple, direct and sane procedure The reform
should come through the judges and members Of
the bar; II not, it will come through legislation
by the representatives Of the people who too
long have suffered the laws delays and uncer
iainfies and maintained numerous eonFts at an
unreasonable expense

Some advice to chauffeurs:
While at the County Fair at Soho

several auto accidents, both at the
grounds OF the fair and on the road
between Schofield Barracks and Fort
Shafter, and luckily though no one
was seriously injured.
Speaking Of the accidents along
the road on the way to Shafter that
night, / wish to say that / happened
to be q passenger In one Of the
wrecked cars.
A chauffeur who was under his car
at the right side OF the road and was
repairing his machine. did not care
or else mistakingiy left the red light
at the rear Of his car 60 out, SO that
Ion-coming machines could not see his
car. and the result was crash Of a
taxicab into this car / happened to
be 3 passenger OF the taxi, and owe
much credit to the chauffeur or the
taxi for bringing his car to q sudden
but too late stop. However the ear
slowed some before crashing into the
ether auto. How the chauffeur who
was repairing his car got out from
under the car before the crash Is Z
miracle. Then. shortly after the acci-
dent. taxicab No. 73. coming at about

The End.

Colonel Roosevelt betrayed the name Of progress
when he ran an assistant Tammany ticket In the
state this fall. To the thousands of honest but
misled men and women who looked TO his move
ment Of two years ago as deliyerance from the
meanness of machine politics. he presented the
spectacle of playing the machine politics or
party for whose organization he cared more than
for the great cause Of fighting Tammanylsm Mt
Albany. Plainly conducting campaign merely TO
keep his dwindllng remnant together, he made
bluff at representing a moral issue in vain The
people. eager to strike Mt Wilson and Murphy. had
no use for him.
His candidate polls fewer votes than the mounte-
bank martyr Sulzer. From third place his party
drops to fifth place IT, indeed the Socialists or some
other minor party whose vote we do not learn until
several days after election have not crowded 1t
into sixth place. The story OF New York is re-
peated in other states. which turned their backs
upon the uninspiring spectacle here
On the face of the election returns, If that Is all
there is to go by, II the Colonel remains COM
handing figure in the world of national politics, So,
too, does the same old Bill"

THE CHRISTIAN CREED
A Suggested Paragraph To Be Added
by Those Who Believe.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Is not this a good time for US
who call ourselves Christians to add a
paragraph 10 our creedsl This for in
stance:
II believe in turning the other cheek
TO him who smites me; in laying up no
treasures in banks or elsewhere; IN
taking no thought for tomorrow what
shall drink or what | shall eat or
what / shall wear; in giving to him
that askcth me; in bestowing my cloak
on him who steals my coat; in loving
my enemy; in doing good to him who
hates me; in blessing those who perse-
cute me; in the gospel of non-reslst-
ancc, giving no battle to evil; in visiting
the sick and the hungry and those in
prisons; in the attainment Of spiritual
perfection through meekness and gem
tleness and treating all the world,
white or black, yellow or red, Slav
or English, Teutcn or Sikh, Jew or
Christian, as | would treat my brother."
This is no creed of mine. 1t is the
creed of the founder of Christianity.
Believing this creed, and practising il,
can't you see that wars would be done
away? Are oil who profess and call
themselves Christians willing TO sub
scribe TO il? HARRINGTON.

year there was 100000 damage caused by these
