No one would call Taft, Root and
Alton B. Parker radical reformers, but
an dealing with court practice and pro-
cedure they are radical in the best
sense of the word. They are prepared
to use the AK and to go to the root
OF things. Their emphatic utterances
are valuable because they tend to build
up public and business sentiment in
favor of drastic simplifcation and
thorough modernization of the admin
istration of law and Justice.
Senator Root told the house judiciary
committee that our codes of procedure
have created bodies of s'acute, adroit
code lawyer" who are able to clog
the wheels of justice with trivial
techniealities, and that it is possible
TO force poor man to start twenty
suits in New York in order to enforce
very simple claim. Such a situation
is msnifestly intolerable; it DESTROYS
equality before the law: it makes a
mockery of justice in many cases.
Happily, as Taft and Others pointed
out to the committee, in the domain
of federal Jurisprudence radical reform
IS possible under the present constitu-
ton. The pending bill which the
statesmen and lawyers just named are
so vigorously advocating empowers the
supreme court to frame and prescribe
uniform rules of common law procedure
for the federal district courts. No one
doubts that the supreme court, which
would naturally appoint an able COM
mission to do the work, would make
short work of technicalities and
anachronisms.
The step suggested in congress is a
short one, perhaps, but the indirect as
we'll as the direct effects Of it should
be considered. The example of the
supreme court and of federal courts
would not be lost even on the most in
nolent and routine-ridden LAWYERS in
the state legislatures. Law reform
would receive a much-needed impetus

Mr.. and Mrs. Jos. f. Bishop
Celebrate Golden Wedding
at Their Home Today.
WERE PIONEERS OF sOMERs
(From Tuesday IS Daily

| Y
Fifty years ago at one o'clock this
afternoon at the home of Mr.. and Mrs.
Levi Fink, one Of the pioneer homes
in the town Of Somers, occurred the
marriage Of Miss Martha J. Fink, their
daughter, and Joseph F. Bishop. This
afternoon a large company gathered at
the Bishop home on Jenne street to
celebrate the golden wedding anniver-
sary of the well known couple and
gathered about the table in family re-
union were many of the members OF
the Bishop family from this and
other states.
The wedding of Mr. and Mrs. Bis
hop came in the midst of the civil war
and many of their closest friends had
gone to the front with the army so
that the ceremony at the pioneer home
Of the Finks was attended by only a
few of the immediate friends of the
bride and groom. The Rev. John Grid
ley then pastor of the Presbyterian
church of the village of Somers and a
man widely known in the pioneer days
performed the marriage ceremony
Mr.. and Mrs. Bishop went at once to
make their home in log house on the
Bishop farm and they remained as resi-
dents Of the town of Somers until four
years ago when they left the old farm
and removed to Kenosha to make their
home. Mr.. Bishop is now member of
the board of county supervisors, having
represented the fifth ward of the city
in this capacity for the past two years.
The marriage of Mr.. and Mrs. Bis
hop was one of the most interesting Of
the Weddings in the pioneer days in
Somers. Tt marked union of two
families who had come to Somers in
the late thirties and the early forties
and both Mr.. and Mrs. Bishop were
born in log houses erected by their
pioneer parents.
Gathered about the dinner table at
the Bishop home this afternoon were
three generations of their family. Mr..
and Mrs. Bishop have four living
children came to aid in the observance
of the notable wedding anniversary.
Mrs. David Pedley Of Kenosha, the old
est daughter, came to the dinner wear
ing the skirt of the wedding dress
which had been worn by her grand
mother, Mrs Caroline Fink, and with it
was the waist which her mother had
worn at the wedding fifty years ago.
Mr. and Mrs. Albert Bishop and their
two sons came from Somers, Mrs. Fan
ME Cooper and her two daughters
came from Sycamore, H., and Mr.. and
Mrs. Robert Lauer. of Kenosha com
pleted the circle of the Bishop family
about the table. State Senator Isaac
T. Bishop, brother Of the groom of
fifty years was also present and other
guests were Mr.. and Mrs. 81. G. Cooper
of Sycamore, Ill, and Mrs. Emma
Yapel of Sutton, Neb., sister of Mr.
Bishop.
Following the serving of the dinner
there were many interesting reminis-
cences of the earlier days in the town
of Somers.
Few people are better known
throughout the county than Mr.. and
Mrs. Bishop and although they have a
record Of fifty years of married life
both husband and wife are in vigorous
health. They are looking forward to
many other happy observances of their
wedding day.

osition. To the east, as to the west
of it, is a tributary territory possi-
BILE of most profitable development
The proposed connections to the At
lantic and to the gulf are inland,
with tillable country on both sides.
There should be united effort on
the part of the people living along
these natural waterways to impress
upon Congress the need of access by
cheap navigation to this wonderful
region

mollin. chairman Of the river and
traffic committee, and Moses Folsom,
