The Layman and the Law.

OF Senator RooT's address last night
before the American Bar Association
on The Layman's Criticism of the
Lawyer" this IS the meat or pemmicsn ::
The excessive multiplication of stat
utes many OF them loosely and igno.
rantly drawn. necessarily breeds uncer-
tainty and litigation.
SO does the habit of distending con.
situations with general statutes and
minute multitudlnous limitations Each
Legislature should have reference H.
brary and the assistance OF experts.
So Mr.. RooT. Since Congress and Legis-
latures are largely composed of law
yers, however, isn't all this hunglin1
and botching law manufacture 10 the
discredit Of lawyers
Court procedure is too technical and
complicated. and constantly growing
more so. The mob of statutes creates
new statutory rights; on litigation's
head litigation accumulates.
Especially do the rules Of evidence
need revision. The hedge or maze
built to exclude irrelevancy often shurs
out the truth. IAN exceedingly difficult
thing to tell" Anybody who has thu
misfortune TO be witness is likely 10
fee that counsel won't let him tell 1t.
Finally, the lawyers "are too apt 10
play game instead Of trying TO get
down as rapidly as possible to the
merits of the. cause"
So speaks a great and subtle lawyer.
The gabble against the Judges and for
their recall has no cause or sense. The
need is fewer and clear laws: s!mplin-
cation of practice. But where Is the
enlightened public opinion that can
check the delirium of legislation. the
present childish superstition as TO the
power OF acts Of Congress and the Leg
islature To do whatever socioogists or
dreamers or busyhodles dictate? Bur
may not greater public spirit. less
narrow professional feeling and de-
Light in legal fence be shown by
lawyers?
Cannot all reputable members Of the
bar strive for the short and simple
practice act in each jurisdiction"
which, according 10 Senator Roor, Is
call that Is necessary? The courts
will do justice without delay II the
laws will let them.

WHO OWNS YOUR HOMEP
That Embarrassing Registration Question
Again Assailed.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SUN-Sp. l
have read with much interest the lettcr
OF Mr.. Townsend In regard to the ques-
ton, "Do you own your house or do you
pay rent" asked by the registration off,
GERS, and l wish to confirm ali that he
says.
know myself OF a voter. a good citizen
In every way. who was very much en-
barrassed by being met with this question
a year ago, so that this year he would not
register and lost his suffrage.
| submit to you that there are many
situations whereby a man might occupy
house that he did not own or for whch
no did not pay rent. For certain finan-
cial reasons II might belong TO his wife or
children or some member of his family
and he would not care to expose this
situation to tho officers and hangers on"
I'm the place OF registration.
Therefore ] concur most heartily with
Mr., Townsend's complaint.

The Rev. Or. WILLIAM T. MANN1Nu "
Trinity Church expounded the true
canon OF benevolent giving when he
upheld the distribution OF wealth
through wages for work done rather
than in charitable doles. There are,
unhappily. phases OF distress which
make direct relief Imperative, and there
are great philanthropic schemes which
glor1y great gifts in furtherance OF
them. But generally speaking the
money best laid out is the money for
which the recipient gives fun return in
terms Of his brain or handiwork The
morale OF tho beneficiary is raised and
the community is enriched by the prod
uct OF the combined cash and effort.
