TO the visitors to the Vermont Meth
odist conference: Welcome to our city.
The freedom of the town and its in
situations is extended to you. The
spirit of the community is shown in
the way that homes on all sides, regard
less of the UNCONVENTIONAL views of the
regular occupants, are thrown open for
your reception and entertainment. We
hope that in addition to attending the
meetings of the conference you vii.
have full opportunity to see Brattle-
boro and that you will carry away a
pleasant impression of the best town
in the state. 1t will be the wish and
intention of every resident of the town
to show you courtesy and cordiality.

The New Procedure Act.
est. Johnsbury Caledonian.)

81 JOnnSDuIS OaieQOlld1.
The disagreement among the lawyers of
the senate is credited with nearly defeat
ing the passage of the Act to Simplify
and Improve Court Practice and Proceed
ure' in the closing hours of the session of
the legislature 1t did succeed in striking
out II sections of the bill In these sec
tions the restriction Of the grounds on
which decision could be reversed by the
supreme court was included and we still
have techncalities triumphant over Justice
Another provision which would expedite
litigation by reducing the time for serving
writ from u to l. days was stricken
out and a section providing that any supe-
rior Judge might hear and decide certain
cases at any time between the stated
terms of court without the presence of the
assistant judges was also sacrificed. This
class of cases involved only questions of
law and are nothing an assistant judge
is qualified to act upon, but they are to
continue sitting on them and the state
must pay the bills To remedy these err
rors was the recommendation of the three
commissioners, Justice Powers and Judges
Fish and Howe, and the defeat of them is
reported chargeabe to the legal members
in the senate.
Notwithstanding the failure to accom-
BLSn the reforms mentioned ABOVE the
bill as passed is an important advance in
court reform in Vermont. The bill does
away with the intricacies Of pleading and
will stop the throwing of cases out OF
court to be commenced over again on ac-
count of errors in form. Non-joinder and
misioinder of persons or misjoinder OF
causes of action will no longer defeat an
action and under this act an action at
law may at any stage thereof be amended
into a suit in equity and transferred to
that court or a suit in equity transferred
in the same way to a court at law. These
| changes will reduce the cost of legal errors
and expedite the trial of cases on THEN
merits
! The commissioners did not get all they
| recommended, but they got as much "a
could reasonably be expected and tbs
things that were refused will be discussed
and possibly in two years more full re
! form accomplished.

California is suffering from case
of too much nerves. The startling an
nouncement, with wealth of details,
that the Japanese had seized territory
for a coaling station and naval base
at Turtle Bay, on the western coast of
Mexico, indicated that the administra>
ton in Washington, in its efforts to
preserve peace with honor, was facing
another serious problem. A little in
vestigation, however, removed all cause
for alarm. The japanese are in the
harbor in an effort to salvage their
wrecked cruiser Asama; the "mines
are buoys used to mark anchors; the
encampments are fishing camps.

ExPresident Taft says that the
growing danger in this country is the
waste of the people s money by their
public servants. And when the peo-
pie get as sick of the practice as they
profess to be they will stop it. The
chief trouble at present is that those
who have the handling of public mon
ey are no more wasteful than are the
people in their individual capacity. We
are living in an age of wastefulness,
of which extravagant appropriations
are only one Of the manifestations.
