ago and they are still undecided. We
have y system of doing business
which doubles our work. In many
cases We hear arguments but make no
decision until the arguments are for
gotten; and when at last the decision
is made, we hold it up for 20 days
awaiting a motion for rehearing which
comes as a matter of course. Then
we go all over the case again and
hold it up for another few moaths
and so we keep on the treadmill.
Some time after the argument of q
case it is assigned to one of the
Judges to give it special consideration
and to formulate and write decision.
And though all Judges have not the
same facility in examining and analyz-
ing records, yet by courtesy the same
number of cases are assigned to each
one The result is that one judge
may be loaded down with work while
another sits for weeks with nothing
to do. Thus we double our work by
lack of system and by going over the
same drudgery again and again.
Following the wocful habit Of lading
men with burdens grievouG to be
borne we write long windcd decis,
ions of 20, 80 or 40 pages, regardless
of the cost Of transcribing, booking
and publishing the same amounting to
about $50 page. ~ actual count
OF words our court decisions are much
longer than any other state in the
union. We let the stenOgrapher copy
pleadings, statute, contracts and evi
dence and take no pride in cOndens
ing anything. Our state reports are
swollen by inserting large part Of
| the brief of counsel just as If the
court reporter stood in with the book
maker. The proper way is to omi
briefs to make short and prompt de
cisions and to make the printed dc
cisiors show when each case was sub
mitted and when decided. Thus i:
West Virginia and in Montana re
ports there are no briefs and the av
, crage length of q decision is about
four pages. and ut the head OF each
decision there is given the date when
the case was submitted and when de-
cided. Thus in IS West Virginia, we

New York, Sept. 3.-Here are three
of the most beautiful hats | have
seen at the Ritz-Carlton fashion show.
The newest sports hats are made OF
shirred silk jersey. The one at the
upperleft is in delicate gray with the
same fabric used for the band and
small tailored bow in the front. With
this is worn a darker gray silk jec-
sey coat with small crWine collar
Jersey will be used more than any
other wool or silk fabric this season.
It will be combined with satin and
velvet as Ceorgctte crepe was last
year.
The dress hat at the upper right, OF
claret velvet lined underneath with
dull gold metal cloth and row OF
flat conventional flowers made Of
khaki colored ostrich feathers, is Il
design that will be worn very much
for dress occasions this year. Ry the
way, rich reds and puppies combincl
with khaki color will be. used much
for hats to be worn with black cos
tunes, and it is agreed the tiach
gowns will predominant.
One of the most charming hats i'm
rorted by Kurzman is black velvet
turban with wide flat tan crown,
the top of which is made entirely OF
the softest, most beautiful ostrich
feathers in black. This hat Is the

There can be no great civic: reform
until we devise some means OF MAX
ing public servants as faithful and
efficient as those who serve the big
corporations. There can be no argu-
ment for extending the public bust
ness until it is done with as much
efficiency as private business. That
is pointer for the Non-Partisan
League. The chances are ten to one
that the League will carry the next
election, hut the farmers will not con-
tlnue to pay for organizing merely
to obtain change of public servants
when the one prove: 10 moro cflic-
lent than the other.
note that our good Nonpartisan
Governor is giving lawn parties al
ter the manner of Julius Caesar. 1t
must be that he is thinking of cross
ing the Rubicon or Of the election
next year. | wish he were to write
some letters and to show how he is
doing his duty better than any other
governor. | wish he were to think
of keeping tab on our public servants
and making them more efficient They
seem to think, some of them do, that
they have a perfect right to go and
come as they please and to draw pay
for doing work which they leave IN

The Capital city women's clubs will

wave OF REFORM anu OIL course was
with them. But they made no re-
forms, they followed strictly in the
footsteps of the Old liners, counting
on a second and a third term in Of
fec, ard one term finished their in
glorious career. The people soon
grow tired and disguised when they
elect to Office lot of ref0rmcrs who
make no attempt to reform anything.
At the last general election the Nom
partisan League, under the able lead
ership of General Townley and his
Big Five, won great victory. The
campaign was we'll organized and ably
conducted and it was based on a thou
sand assurances OF much needed re-
forms. These have rot yet been made
manifest but certain it is that within
short period the league must de-
liver the goods, or go the way Of the
, Populist party. The people look for
good efficient public service, a reduc
ton Of taxes and substantial benefits
amounting to millions Of dollars. The
people who ask for bread must not
be given a stone. A good tree must
bring forth good fruit By their fruits
We shall know them.
1t is true that in matters of legis
lation and constitution making the
league has had an excuse 1t met thu,
determined and skillfuf opposition of
the old liners and it showed no tact
or skill in conciliating them or in law
making. To make a few amendments
to the constitution bill was present
ed containing the amendments and
the entire constitution. That was
House Bill Al. 1t contained Al large
printed pages in which the amend
ments were like needle in a hay
stack. While this bill had no emel-
gcncy clause, it provided for the sub
mission Of the same to a vote at !,
special election to be held in June.
1917. Now as bill without an en-
Urgency clause can have no force or
effect until the following July, this
ill would have been void even though
it had received every vote in the
House and in the senate.
There are only two ways of amend
ing the constitution. One is the way
specified in the constitution itself,
and the other is by way of constitu
tional convehtion-the way by which
the constitution was framed and ad.
opted BY 4 maj )rity in each house
the legislature might have passed q
valid act providing for Al election of
dele gates to constitutional conven-
ton at any time after the first day
of July but not in June Such an act
may still be passed were the govern.
or to convene special session of the
legislature during the coming autumn
Or winter. That would give time for
a special election next July and the
submission of amendments at the
next general election. Hope deferred
maketh the heart sad If Ivy amend.
ing the constitution the people can
reap benefit of 30 or 80 million dol
lars a year, the sooner it is done the
better.
There should be an amendment to
require every public servant to give
Il monthly account of his work be.
fore receiving his monthly stipend
and to decapitatc every one who fails
to do his duty.
