ONE COURT AND ONE JURISDICTION.

Dean W. R. Vance Of the college of law of the
University of Minnesota outlined a plan before
the South Dakota Bar association at Sioux Falls
last week for the complete reorganization of state
courts, which appears to possess the merit of be-
ing thoroughly practical. He proposes but one
court and one jurisdiction within the state and
his plan is based largely on the experience of the
consolidated court in England and Canada. The
cardinal idea underlying the system would be
deficiency.
Briefly outlined Dean Vances plan is for one
court and one jurisdiction in the state, this court
to be presided over by chief justice elected by
the people. The chief justice would nominate all
the judges and their appointment would be sub
mitted to the senate for ratification. The judges
would hold office during their good behavior.
There would be no statutory code Of procedure and
only general powers would be outlined. AS many
special divisions might be created as were found
necessary and the chief justice could marshal his
judicial forces at any point where the judicial
business was heaviest.
Any plan that will increase the efficiency of
the courts and curtail the red tape now attending
processes at law will be welcome. Dean Vance
does not favor the recall, however. His plan
provides that judge may be impeached for cause
The recall is the better plan, for the record on
judicial impeachments shows that more than 80
per cent Of them are Unsatisfactory. This recalls
the case of North Dakota judge who was i'm
peached for mafeasance in Office and tried by the
state senate sitting as high court of impeach-
ment. Conclusive evidence was submitted show
ing that he had been intoxicated on the bench,
that he had violated the state liquor laws and that
at one time he was in such condition of intoxi-
cation during the trial of an important case that
he fell asleep and it was necessary for the baff
to wake him up to secure ruling on an important
motion. In the face of this and much other evil
dence of equally positive nature he was acquitt
ed of the charges brought against him, and later
the people retired him to private life. The i'm
parchment proceedings in this case fell far short
of accomplishing the purpose which they should
have.
Judges and courts are in the last analysis
mere servants of the people and they should not
be exalted to position of immunity which gives
them arbitrary powers for too often this condition
leads to abuse Delays and red tape in legal pro-
cedure the relics of age gone by, are the great
est shortcoming of all the courts today They
are wonderfully efficient when the modus operandi
is considered, but there is room for much improve
ment and if Dean Vances plan is really in the in
terest of more simple system than that at pres
ent it is worthy Of careful consideration.

Sounds Fish Make.

The horse mackerel, or scad, Is
said to grunt. Purring noises are
heard from the cuckoo gurnard
when it is being removed from the
water. The herring, again, is said
to emit faint squeak when the
net has been drawn over it, and
there are other fishes which are
credited with vocal powers.
Most certain of all is the case OF
the little creature known to many
a shrimper and fsherboy as the
hummer, or hardhead (Cottus scor-
pius), the sea bullhead, which, when
held in the hand near to the ear,
produces so distinct buzzing noise
that it cannot only be heard, but
felt, since the vibration caused by
the sound is perceptible by the
hand. 1t seems to be the result of
fear and comes apparently from the
inside of the huge head.-London

PUBLIC RIDICULE.

It is the problem OF all ages to

When burglary meant the total
ruin Of the man who kept his whole
fortune in the house the burglar
was hanged. But in the same period
public ridicuie served as punish

who sold bad meat was placed in

The result was that law and or

when men became brutalized by the
horrible hOogings of Georgian times.
Punishments became worse with
religious prosecutions, and after the
reformation the pillory, with its ter

The ruling of State Chairman

The ruling of State Chairman
Evans that it is not necessary for a
voter to sign his full name on the
club roll relieves what promised at
one time to be an awkward situa-
tion. For instance, if a voter is
named John Henry Jones, it is only
necessary for him to sign his name
John H Jones or J Henry Jones.
The State supreme court and the
United States supreme court hold
that such signature is legal and it
would be superfuous to go beyond
the ruling of these two tribunals.
