NOT REVOLUTIONARY.
Proposed Changes in the Vermont Court
Procedure.

Explanation of the report Of the spe-
cal commission appointed TO recommend
more simplified court procedure, was
made last night in the House chamber
at Montpelier. before the Judiciary com
mittee. Justice Powers, chairman Of
the commission said that when the CONF
mission started out it hoped to recon-
mend but two ways to try lawsuits,
but decided that this might not meet APP
prevail as being drastic. 1t was finally
decided to abolish the forms of pleading,
but retain the substance and have but
four forms OF action.
Justice Powers said the expedition and
simplifcation of court procedure has
been agitated the country over, and the
idea is not a new one.
He hoped the time would soon come
when the lawyers and court can write IN
that line. Judge Fish and Harland i.
Howe. United States judge, other menu
bers of the commission, also spoke along
the same lines. The speakers attempted
to show that the recommendations werc
noc revolutionary.
Judge Fish spoke Of the saving 70 the
state if cases went to supreme court
on record OF the court below, eliminat-
ing the filing of bills of exception. He
believed it would result in fewer cases
being reversed.

Lesson of the Eastland Horror.

By directing that important changes be made
in the rules and regulations of the United States
t-Inspection Service, Secretary of Com
mercc Redfeld has undone the task of whitewash-
ing the entire service which he performed at one
sweep Immediately upon his arrival at Chicago
to investigate the Eastland disaster. 1t will be
recalled that his first announcement was that the
inspection service could not be blamed for any
accident due to a vessels instability because the
law conferred upon no government agency the
power to pass upon the question of stability. The
Herald pointed out the faacy of this contention
at the time and now the most important change
in the regulations ordered by Secretary Red6eld
is directing all inspectors to require owners
of vessels whose stability they have any reason
to question to ake'incnng tests on such vessels,
under the supervision of expert naval architects
provided by the Department of Commerce" Evil
IDENTIFY the law gives authority for this as it GER
tanly must give authority to prevent the loading
of passengers on vessel that fails to meet the
test. The rule just promulgated rgdly enforced,
with the results carried to logical conclusion,
would have averted the Eastland horror

SERVICE.

The sun it serves me we'll by day,
The stars they serve me we'll by night;
The fields their need Of service pay
With grain to serve my appetite.
The toiiers on the sea and land
Are serving needs OF mine likewise
Where'er look, on every hand,
A wealth of goodly service lies.
Wherefore tits my ambition high,
Most grateful to my heart and mind,
To join the Aristocracy

The health experts have confessed that the
bubble" drinking fountain may be even moro
deadly than the common drinking cup that it has
supplanted in public places. An inspector watched
forty-seven persons the bubble fountain in a
railway station and most of them place their
lips completely around the metal ball from which
the water spurts; whereuponthc official advice was
issued: "In using the bubbling fountain the rule
should be- Bite the bubble The lips should not
reach any part of the fountain" Thousands of
people will plead guilty to having always eyed the
fad with deep suspicion, and these will continue to
refrain from biting either the bubble or the foun-

The Omitted States committed act nor did
our courts write line that justified the British
action" This mere assertion in the note which
President Wilson and Secretary Lansing are pre-

be of no value, but it the Senator knows OF any
foundation for it surely it is his patriotic duty to
communicate it to the State Department.
