RIDICULES OUR LAW
Chief Justice of England Points Out
Our Court Weakness.

New York, Oct. 15.-Jurisprudence
rather than finance was the theme OF
Lord Reading. chief justice OF ENG
land, and member of the Anglo
French commission which negotiated
the s50O,OOO,0OO war loans, at re-
ception in his honor given last night
bv the New York Bar association.
Lord Reading said:
'T am strongly impressed with the
undesirability of the constant report
ing of decisions which hand down no
principles but only repeat the appl1ca-
ton of old principles to new facts.
ITO make ones self familiar with
your law, it is necessary to look up not
only all the decisions but all the stat
utes of your 4S states.
'I wonder how you surmount this
mountain of legal knowledge. This
system of citing corroborating cases
has been changed with US. We now
strive to get the merits; to allow no
technicalities to prevent the court
from perceiving the true facts and ar
irving at just decision notwithstand-
ing all the counsel that appear before
the Judge"

MILK is HIGHER TODAY
Winter Rates Are Put Into Effect by
Number of Dealers

Milk retailed in Topeka costs more
today than it did yesterday. Not ell
dairymen and milk dealers have in
creased the price, but those handling
perhaps one-half of the milk sold in
Topeka have raised the price to what
is called a winter" rate.
A dollar now buys twelve and one
half quarts of milk from dealers Jor-
merly selling fourteen quarts for that
sum. The Topeka Pure Milk company
is among those increasing the price
The company is also paying more for
the milk it sells. The reason for the
increase is that it costs more to pro-
duce milk without grass for feed.
