According to the statement made by

he has discovered. All he asks is the
moral support of the community, and

Eastern manufacturers have already

soil to a depth of four or five feet,
and thoroughly loosen the hardpan
that underlies the surface soil. The
advantages of treating land in this
way are we'll understood throughout
the country, and in many sections of
California and the northwest it has
been the means of reclaiming thou
sands of acres.
The advantage of having someone
on the ground who fully understands
the process and the way to place
charges to get the best results will
be readily seen, and the instructions
he comes to give undoubtedly will be
appreciated by the interested ranch

corrected only by developed public
sentiment and a new sense of obliga-

Judge Lamm recommends few statu-

reports which would fix responsibility
for congested dockets and thereby
have a tendency to expedite justice.
In arguing for publicity for such re-
ports the judge said And why should
not the governor or attorney general
report the facts to the people? Do
not the people out of their own pock-
cts maintain the courts by taxation
and can it be said that the character

THE LAWS DELAYS

Special weight will be given Che
suggestions contained I'M the admir-
able address on "The Laws Delays
given by Judge Henry Lamng chief
justice of the Missouri supreme court,
before the Missouri State Bar asso-
citation because of the eminence of the
speaker and the exceedingly practical
character of the suggestions them
selves, says the st. Louis Globe-Dem-
ocrat. Chief Justice Lamm enjoyed
a state reputation as profound law
yer, finished scholar and a cultured
gentleman long before his election to
the bench. But his reputation is now
nationwide, there beng few jurists
in all the country approaching him in
public esteem. His acceptance of the
presidency of the State Bar associa
ton and the free discussion of judic
ial reforms in his last address are
tokens of this willingness to assist II
a movement for which the times ar'
clamorous.
Judge L.amm recognizes the just
ness Of the complaint against th'
laws delays. a complaint which has
become a proverb in Shakespeare
time. He also has put his finger OF
the cause. Some of the reasons are

Are we willing to admit this and

We should say not,
You can admit (because in fairness
you must) that German chemists have
outdone ours in many fields in recent
years.
But it isn't necessary to admit that
this was because we couldn't have
done as well had we tried as hard.
Germany went into chemistry as
Germany goes into most pursuits,
thoroughly. Germany was willing to
spend the time and money and pains
necessary to win the prizes in chem

We let Germany do it and ther
