PRES. CHARLES PHELPS REELECTED
By State Bar Association Meeting Held at Hartford
 James E. Wheeler of New Haven, Secretary Treasur- er-Edward A. Hartman Spoke Upon Efficiency in Ad- n1nistration of Justice.

Charles Phelps of Rockville, former attorney general. was reelected presi- dent of the Connecticut Bar asSocia- ton at the annual meeting held in Hyde of Hartford was elected vice president and James E. Wheeler of New Haven secretary treasurer.
 Edward A. Hartman of New Haven delivered the principal address at the afternoon session.. speaking on Eff ciency iu Administration of Justice.
 ',rhe watchword of the twentieth century is efficiency but the efTl- ciency developed in business has not been reached in political affairs. he declared in the course of his address. He continued:
 ''Inef1ciency in law is not the in- efficiency of lawyers. as such, in the protection of their clients interests, but inefficienCy in the administration of justice for which lawyers are wrongfully charged with responsibil- ity. The administration of justice is the prerogative of the SOY ereign, and for its efficiency the sovereign alone is responsible In this country the people arc sovereign and the people, and not the bar, are responsible for the ad- ministration of justice.
 Efficiency in such administration depends on three factors. First the organization of the judicial depart ment of the government; second, the SSl6CLlOu or IlS peESOuI1Sl or that uS- partment, and, third, legal procedure. No one of these three factors is un- der the control of the bar and in so far as lawyers hold office, they are responsible as officials to their con Stituents and not to their profession.
 ''Tfle responsibility of the bar Is not for the action which the people take, but simply for giving the people their best professional advice in re- gard to the administration of justice, whether the people take their advice or not. This duty rests upon the bar because it is a learned profession. and the members of any learned profession owe some professional duty to the community.
 with reference to the three factors affecting the efficiency in the adrninis- tTation of justice, organization, per sonneI and procedure, that of pro cedure has hitherto aroused the great est interest, and 1t is here that the greatest reforms have been accom- plished. Proced1fe in Connecticut is on q fairly satisfactory basis, except the appellate procedure in the supreme court.
 with regard to the personnel of the judiciary department, Connecticut has been exceptionally fortunate Out side of New England, affairs are in a less satisfactory condition. We need more understanding of and more sym pathy with conditions elsewhere and we must realize that there is g. pow erful popular movement threatening the practical destruction of our fed eral judicial system by demanding that federal judges shall be elected by the people of the districts in which they serve. thereby creating divided

allegiance on the part of the judge be-
 tween the government and his con stituents.
 'eYYith reference to the matter of
 society has prepared the first draft of a statewide judicature act involving the entire reorganization of tho judi
 eiaI departments of the states. The
 first change proposed is the creation of single court for the entire state. In place of special courts, each with it's own judges, there IS to be one court with special judges for special work holding different ranks and receiving different salaries. A liigant is not to be turned out of the temple of jus
 tice because he has come in at the wrong door or after office hours, any
 more than q, customer is to be turned out of a department store because he
 goes to the front counter for q pair of gloves. or 9 letter to be thrown out of the post office because a mistake has been made in the address. Many Of the techniCalities of pleading have
 already been sent to the. scrap heap,
 and in another century, for reforms move slowly, nine -tenths of the rules about venue, jurisdiction and process will join the same scrap heap.
 The proposed single court has three
 permanent divisions: the court Of ap-
 peal, the superior court and the coun- ty courts, the county court being as sisted by district regtsTates.
 ''The second feature Of the proposed plan relates to the administration of the court when OrganizedN adniniStra- tive authority, cooperation and coher- ence of effort is obtained by making the chief justice of the state the ad-
 ministTative head of the judicial or ganization, assisted by the presiding justices of the different divisions of. the court. Annual conventions of the
 different divisions of the court are provided for like the annual meetings probate assembly. Under our present system our judicial department has no administrative head who is respon-
 sibie for it's efficiency. Administrative control by the chief justice should re- suit in more economical and effective dispatch of litigation by selection of judges best qualified for the particular work to be done.
 Reforms which involve the mere
 destruction of an obsolete institution, like slavery, may be brought about by more popular uprising. but the con-
 structive reforms necessary to i'm prove the administration of jnstice, require the brains of able lawyers.
 From this association Of the bar, made famous in the past by the names of Roger Sherman, Ellsworth and Swift,
 and in the present by the names of
 Simeon E. Baldwin and William Howard Taft, suggestions for reforms are sure to receive careful and wise consideration.
 At the annual banquet in the eve- ming the speakers were Judge TVU- liam $. Case of the superior court, Governor Marcus H. Holcornb and Joseph L. Barbour of Hartford.
