To these he added higher education

conditions of living, and the broaden

ed" continued the speaker, chat laws
intended to better the conditions and
reduce the risks of workers had been
declared unconstit u ttiionai by the courts
and Immediately they began to include
the courts among the opponents OF
progress and to apply to the judges
and their decisions, the leverage of the
direct primary, and this Determination
is now being vigorously discussed
and urged by many. If the judges

earnestness to bring about conditions
which will in greater degree commend
the courts to the masses of the people,
whose agents they are. The judges
must reform themselves. This is the
one time when the Judge is permitted
to sit in his own case. He must regard
himself from all angles and every
point of view for the purposes of de-
termining to which clsas he belongs
and correcting deficiencies either of
too great conservatism or of lack of
studiousness and industry. And the
lawyers have their part. Here are
some Of the things they can do to aid
and elevate the bench:
Insist upon improved rules of pro-
cedure. Take breater pains with their
arguments for a careful, painstaking
and thoughtful bar always elevate the
bench before which they practice. As
long as the judges are elected in Mary
land take a hand in all efforts to pre-
vent the nomination or election of un-
fit candidates. This may cost an eff
fort, but the best efforts are like the
best things, costly"
To these he added the selection of
only worthy men for Jury service so
as to prevent the rendering of i'm
proper verdicts.

In Memory OF Ricketts, Nelson

At meeting of the vestry of Trim
ity Parish, held July 2, 1914, the fol-
lowing minute was adopted:
The Vestry of Trinity Parish, for
themselves, and for Trinity Congrega-
ton, do hereby recognize the serious
loss that has come to the Parish in the
removal by death of one who had al
ways shown himself most interest
ed and earnest member of the same,
and actively devoted to its welfare
while health and strength permitted.
The deprivation of his presence and
counsel in the sad interval that pre-
coded the final event was a real one
to his official associates. For twenty
years previous to his death Ricketts,
Nelson had served as Junior Warden
of Trinity Parish; fact bearing wit
ness to the recognition won by him as
jealous worker in the Church's in
terests even in the season of his early
manhood.
To the deeply afflicted members of
his household they would tender their
respectful sympathy. May they be
sustained in this time of sore trial by
the remembrance of his Christian for
titude and trust, and by the hope of a
renewed fellowship in the realm of
light and peace.
Resolved, That the foregoing Minute
be spread upon the Records of Trim
ity Parish; and that copy thereof be
transmitted to the bereaved house.

people.
1--WE need not be surprised at the
agitation. The controversy involved
in the power of the courts to nullify
laws and the proposition of the recall
of judges and their decisions is very
old. Aristotle noted IL. The time is
ripe for the correction of errors and
the best reform is always from with
in. The reform must come, and if
from without, the jolt may be most
disappointing and severe"
One of the chief reasons for the
average layman for condemning courts
and lawyers was the delay in dispos-
ing of cases brought before them.
Everybody, said the speaker, would
undoubtedly acknowledge the need of
reform in that direction. Another i'm
provement he suggested was the abo-
lition of the taxing of lawyers fees as
part of the costs in cases. The conduct,
bearing and methods of many judges
were also being used in furthering
the agitation against the courts.
Summing up his conclusions, the
speaker said: M
at becomes more important than
ever that the influence of the bench
and bar should be exerted with great

Lawyers Discuss Live Topics

The Maryland State Bar Associa-
ton has been in session at Cape May,
N. j., this week. Former Senator H.
M. Mccullough, of this county, was
one of the speakers at Wednesdays
session, discussing divorce; Is it a
Menace or Remedy" yAk fs& rR
Marriage" he said, st}Iough cor
rectly designated civil contract, diff
fers chiefly from most civil contracts
because it is indissoluble at the will of
the parties. Most fundamental and
portentious of all the problems con-
fronting society is that of divorce. 1t
has attracted public discussion and
consideration in the United States and
other countries.
"The divorce rate is highest in the
Western and lowest in the Atlantic
States In South Carolina, where d.
vorce is prohibited by the Constitu-
ton, the marriage tie is as much re-
spected as anywhere in our land. We
have so many more divorces here than
in continental Europe, because mar
rage when contracted here means u.s.
ually more THANH Europe.
"In the United States divorce is 800
times as common as in Canada. The
popularity of divorce here is increas-
ing about three times as fast as the
population"
ain Maryland" continued the speak
er, "the increase while smaller than in
many other States, is enough to excite
serious apprehension. From 1867 to
1886, according to the United States
census report, there were 2,185 di-
vorces granted From 1887 to 1906
there were 1920 more than three
times as many as in the previous dec
ade While we have cause for con-
gratulations that our record is not as
bad as our sister States, the figures
are significant enough to impress upon
all of US that divorce as now permitted
is a menace to the safety and per-
petuity of the republic"
Discussed the Courts.
Hon. Stevenson A. Williams, of Bel
Air, alos addressed the Association at
the same session, on the Reform of
the Courts"
In his address, Mr.. Williams traced
the influences which eliminated in the
agitation for the recall of judges and
judicial decisions. First came the rail-
roads, and then tn telegraph and tele-
phone, the use of electricity for light
and power, the gasoline engine, great
ly improved machinery and methods
for manufacturing, in which he said:
