To THE EDITOR OF TIKI SUN-Sir: VIII
you permit me to congratulate you upon
your story Of the visit OF President Will
son and his ~fancee. as told in my copy
OF THE SUS received to-day. As one
Of loves idyls. the manner OF it's tell
ing suggests to the newspaper man
something worthy OF emulation for an
ultimate achievement or, as a political
satire, something more p~oignantly enec-
tive than anything Swift could trench
antly pen. Blu which Ii II to be? Not
that this Constant Reader" OF TIKI
SUN so far from Broadway expects the
writer OF that story to say.
Also allow ME TO say how much your
early stories on the visit OF the Anglo
French finance commission were appre-
ciated here for their educative value
and prescience. Trusting these slight
encomiums from such a humble source
are not impertinences,

1t increases the limit Of the amount
which may be sued for in the County
Courts from $4,000 to $4,000. and m
powers the Legislature to extend their
jurisdiction not only to Eases where
the defendant is a resident Of h
county but also to embrace those
where the defendant has an office for
the transaction of business In h
county and the cause Of action arose
therein. 1t authorizes a Surrogate or
a county to hold a Surrogate's Court
in any other county when requested
by the Surrogate Of that county. 1t
authorizes the Legislature to provide
for the appointment Of a Commits
sioner of Jurors In any county-in q
county In the First and Second judi
cial Districts by the respective Appel
ate Divisions OF the department m
bracing such counties, and In county
in any other judicial district by the
Justices Of the Supreme Court resident
In the district embracing such county.
Except in New York county It has
been held by the Court Of Appeals
that the Legislature cannot empower
the courts to appoint the Jury Com
m~issioners, but they must be elected
or chosen by the local authorities of
the county. The proposed amendment
would enable the Legislature to take
the office Of Jury Commissioners en-
tirely out Of politics and vest 1t where
1t properly belongs, in the hands OF
the court.
Finally. provision Is made to enable
the Legislature to establish a system
Of State registration and guaranty
of titles to real estate. such as the
Torrens system.
The judiciary article was brought
before the convention on the unani-
nous report Of the Judiciary Commit
tee of seventeen members. II was
adopted in its present form by the
affirmative vote of 1913 Republicans
and 32 Democrats. Only n Repub-
lican, ". Leroy Austin Of Catskill, and
two Democrats, James ii. Dahm OF
Brooklyn and Albert Unger Of New
York. voted against 1t. j. q. SAKE
subsequently asked to have it recorded
that IL he had been present he would
have voted against the measure. Mr..
SAKE took no part in the debates over
this article. except to move. on the
third reading. that the Jurisdiction of
the City Court OF New York be re-
duced from 8 5000, as proposed by the
committee. to $4,000. an amendment
| wh.ch finally was adopted.
A study of the revised judiciary
article will show that it embraces
many needed and useful reforms in
the administration OF Justice. 1t
should appeal to all those who are in
terested in the efficient enforcement
Of law and the preservation OF order.
