THE COURTS AND JUSTICE.

The public will be somewhat startled
and the Poor, prepared by Reginald
Heber Smith for the Carnegie Founda-
ton by the fearless charges made there
in. No less an authority than Elihu
Root of New York, probably the big
gest mind in this country, in fore
word says:
The administration of American jus
tce is not impartial; the rich and poor
do not stand on an equality before the
law; the traditional method of provid-
ing justice has operated to close the
doors of the courts to the poor, and has
caused a gross denial of justice in all
parts of the country to millions of per-
sons.
This is formidable indictment of
American justice. The report gives as
the three principal causes of this con-
dition. delays which handicap the
poorer litigant, court fees and costs
charged by the state which often pro,
hibit access to the courts by the poor
and the expense of lawyers services.
1t is rot charged that the courts
have one decision for the rich and an
other for the poor, there is no evidence
of that in American courts. The trou
bic is litigation is too expensive for the
common run of people. The result o.
this is well expressed by Chief justice
Olsen of the Chicago Municipal court
who said several years ago:
! When litigation is too costly, the re

TO DARKEN HAIR

Common garden sage brewed into
heavy tea with sulphur added, will turn
gray, streaked and faded hair beauti-
fully dark and luxuriant. Just a few
applications viii prove a revelation if
your hair is fading, streaked or gray.
Mixing the Sage Tea and Sulphur recipe
at home, though, is troublesome. An
easier way is to get bottle of Wyeth s
Sage and Sulphur Compound at any drug
store all ready for use. This is the old
time recipe improved by the addition
of other ingredients.
While wispy, gray, faded hair is not
sinful, we all desire to retain our youth
full appearance and attractiveness. By
darkening your hair with Wyeth s Sage
and Sulphur Compound, no one can tell,
because it does it so naturally, so even
ly. You just dampen a sponge or soft
brush with it and draw this through your
hair, taking one small strand at time;

The question is can the cost of liti-
CATION be reduced! There is one way
in which it can and that is in the ex-
petition of justice. This has been much
discussed but little effected. Cases are
nut over from terra to term of court
with a charge of certain fees alto

lay in certain notorious cases before
he courts of Vermont Court fees are
not exhorbitant, but when repeated
from term to term for years require
large amounts of money. The only re.
medy for court fees is quicker trials
Lawyers fees are not regulated by
law and are no more subject to regula-
| tion than the wages of the laborer
| Any attorney is at liberty to charge
what he thinks best for his services
| But the lawyers do immensely increase
the cost of litigation by their dilatory
methods. The time consumed in select
