The moon shall wax, the moon shall

And ia shions make the women vain
And men still love the dough,
Long after shall lie.
With toes up toward the sky.

The fool become a prodigal.
Until his web is spun,
Long after I am gone
To he a skeleton.
The men shall sue, the women sigh.
AS in the days of yore.
And cup1d's arrows still shall fly.
Forever, cvermore,
Long after | shall pass
And rest beneath the grass.
Each spring the birds shall come again,
And nest in shrub and tree
And singers give us inward pain.

And yet till they are hoarse,

II passed House and Senate almost
unanimously, and full-fedged sensa
ton broke loose on the last day of

With the House running under forced
pressure, the situation was not seriously

Laying down" on their county delega-
lions to recall the bill. Rutland, Addi-
son, Windsor, Orange and Windham
counties were enlisted, and despite the
statement that the lawyers of the SEN
ate would fight all night, the bill was
recalled, reconsidered, amended and pass
ed
1t was even whispered about the cor
ridors that very urgent request came
from Governor Gates to get busy" and
avoid rcpudiatin the work of his expert
commission. The important fact Is that
the bill was finally passed with what one
senator calls "minor" eliminating amend
ments, although some good lawyers say
they were by no means lnSlgnlncant or
negligible.
1t hardly seems possible that lawyers
would really oppose genuine court re-

KRONPRINZ'S CAPTAIN
ASKS FOR TIME TO
REPAIR CRUISER

Newport News, Va. April 13.-Lieut.
Captain Thierfoldcr. commander Of the
German converted cruiser Kronprinz Will
helm. delivered to Collector Of Customs
Hamilton late to-day formal request for
time to repair his ship in this port The
letters We're forwarded to the secretary
of the treasury and their contents not
divulged
While II Is understood the German COM
mander asked for three weeks as a maxi
mum, he stated he would make every
effort to complete temporary repairs and
leave port before that time. His request
related only to temporary repairs, as a
thorough overhaulng of the Wilhelm
would require months.
CAPTAIN Thierfeder did not request coal
and provisions. explaining he would do
this when the Washington government
has decided how long he may remain in
neutral waters.
1t is understood his request included
petition for permission to go into dry
dock Immediately. Until this is grant
ed the merchant raider must remain at
anchor in the James river Unofficial
ly the captain of the kronprinz Will
helm urged that action regarding his
ship be expedited and in this connec-
ton asked the state department
through the German embassy to have
the naval board make an examination
at once.
While opinion prevails here that the
Wilhelm will intern, Captain Thierfel-
der insists he must return to the high
seas.

cruiser were sighted to-day off the

COURT REFORM.
(From the Rutland Herald)

During the concluding hours OF the
Legislature of 1915, now an increasingly
pleasant memory, two bills We're enact
laymen expect to produce visible results
in the reform of the courts.
These bills arc numbered r. AS, cstab-
fishing district courts and II. l75, simpli-
fying court procedure, The first is ex-
pected to take care of the minor causes
now heard in county court and the sec
ond makes a long step forward in putting
legal routine on commonsense business
basis
The district court bill was opposed by
Judges OF some municipal courts and 1t
is alleged. by some superior judges who
saw in the success of the proposed sys-
TEN % great increase in the business
OF municipal courts without correspond
ing gain in salary, and 90 the possible
merger Of superior judges in the SUI
preme court
The average layman will he fairly
skeptical of court reform panaceas, but
the new system would seem to promise
cheaper and speedier justice in civil cases
up to 800, and quicker disposition in the
trial of misdemeauors. in which the new
courts have final jurisdiction save on
questions of law
This Is n tale too often retold, how
ever TO be taken for granted, and the
taxpayer will watch the new system
with critical curiosity. expecting, not UNI
rea sonably, the usual increase in court
costs and some lawyers preteXt for de-
feating the purposes OF the bill.
Lawyers affect to be surprised at the
suspicious attitude Of the layman toward
their profession, but the maneuvers OF
Senators Powell. Conant and other men,
bers of the judiciary committees OF the

to overcome in our neighboring state
Vermont. however. may only propose
amendments every 10 years. to be rati-
fled after lying over two years and
then taking effect only after being
adopted by the people on direct vote.
1t is urged that such provisions tend
to preserve the sanctity Of the con-
stitution and protect It from legisla-

The time lock dates back to the
time when freemen feared their LeEis-
latures. when every Nermonter lived
under the dread of too much govern
ment. such situation could hardly
continue at this time, and the check
provided by the two-thirds vote in the
Senate the two years in limbo and
confirmation by succeeding LcGisla-

be sufficient.
