Auspicious Hope, in thy fair gardens
grow
Balms for each wound, a charm 1or
every woe.


grow
Balms for each wound, a charm for
every woe.
This is the song long to sing:
Now is the winter of our discomfort
Made glorious summer by the prompt
ness and efficiency of our judges,
And all the clouds that lowered Ger
our heads
Are buried meath the bosom OF the
deep.
There can be no civic reform with
out greater efficiency in the public
service. And it seems vain to nope
for greater efficiency until the public
and the press demand it and make the
demand manifest and emphatic. The
public servants must be given to un-
derstand that their time belongs to
the state and when they steal their
time they steal money and put them
selves on a par with money stealers,
that is to say, with common thieves
General Townley and his press have
the means of making the demand for
efficiency urgent and insistent ana
of pointing the finger of publicity to
all those who fail in doing their duty.
Why don't they do it? DO they hope
to achieve reform by simply changing
the public servants and not doing
thing to secure efficiency in the SER
vice?
The purpose of these weekly letters
is to throw the light of publicity on
the procedure of our courts and
Judges so we may each and all have
a greater incentive to do our duty
and to make the public service as
prompt and efficient as any private
service In each weekly letter
think it we'll to give the number OF
cases we turn off during the week.
the number on the docket and the
number submitted and undecided.
During the past six weeks we have
made little or no .rogress. We have
not had a quorum of the judges. We
still have on hand awaiting decision
some twenty-five cases that were ar
gued and submitted months ago. we
must confess and do penance and
pledge our vows for the future. we
still have hope that from now on
during the present year each judge
of our court will take pride in devot-
ing all his time to his duties at the
capitol so that by Christmas we may
be right up with the work.
Pleased | am that the judicial re-
forms advocated in these letters have
met the approval of the American Bar
association il! session at Saratoga,
New York. Now as soon as l can
publish a book of my LETTERS, Els
SAYS and DECISIONS, it will not be
necessary for any Judge to incur the
expense of trip to Saratoga. Our
judges are not without some excuse
when they 60 off on log trips and
leave their work undOne and when
they waste the time in writing long
winded decisions. Such has been the
common practice of tho state. In
former times the judges did not blush
for shame whel lney COOK an outing
for months. They did no seem to

WITHOUT HONOR.

Judging by the experience of the
United States and Argentina, nations
still having German ambassadors In
their midst had better arrest them
on suspicion.
German autocracy has no cOncep-
ton of right, humaneness, or law in
warfare and knows not what honor is
in dealings with other peoples with
whom it is at peace.
To put down such an element is not
only the necessity but also the duty of
civilization, and talk of making an
agreement with it is sheer drivel

WHERE GERMANY SHOULD PAY.

WHERE GERMANY SHOULD PAY.
The United States entered the war
without any thought of indemnity or
acquisition in any material form.
But Uncle Sam should write that
German bombing of American hos
pitfalls into his war diary and, when
he comes to sit at the peace table,
demand that the Teutonic brutes pay
big for the deliberate, premeditated
murders. And Germany will be made
to pay, too, il justice at all sways
