SETTLING CASES
BEFORE TRIAL
Judge James O'NeiIl Writes Paper
for Law Magazine on the Sub
ject---States Instances

The February issue of the Marquette
Law Review contains an article by
Judge James OrNeiIl of Neillsville,
well known in Baraboo, on the Ques-
ton whether or not it is the duty OF
a Judge to encourage settlements OF
cases as they are called for trial.
Lincoln said: Discourage litigation.

mise whenever you cam
In the opening of the article Judge
O'Neill tells Of his studentship in
New York state and Of his practice
before Judges Romano Bum and Al
fred w. Newman in Wisconsin.
AS settling cases out of court, among
other things Judge O'NeiIl says:
Il have employed this method with
very satisfactory results in the last
two years. In the past year / have
found that judge can effect settle
ment of a large proportion of civil
jury cases by Selling the apportune
moment to suggest that 1t would be
wise for both parties to get together,
to avoid the necessity of a trial. In
the last six months have in this way
been able to shorten my terms by
some weeks. | thing that the oppor.
tune time is either when the case is
called, after the Judge has examined
the pleadings, has learned the nature
of the issues and the amount involved;
or after the pury has been sworn and
eOunsels have made their opening
statements. A larger proportion or
the cases can and ought to be settled.
find attorneys usually favorable to
settlements. They often appear to DO
greatly pleased to have the Judge in
remarks from the bench urge the par
ties to compromise their differences.
My practice Is to ask the parties to
retire with their counsel in friendly
spirit, to make reasonable concessions
and to consider the expense which a
long trial will entail, using every effort
to get together. l have often waited
for some time before a settlement is
made and / recall one case where

bolts last outlook on life and reads
as follows:
THE CLOSE
When daylight hours are nearly run
And twilight hovers near,
/ love to sit in my easy chair
Beside the firelight's cheer,
And ponder on the days gone by
When life held much for me,
And on the days which / knew welS
There can but few more be.
My past has been like to the day,
The morning fair and bright,
The midday filled with busy hours
And now the shades OF night;
Like to brown and shrivled leaf
To virile twig cling.
Though my frail hold upon its life
Doth little to me bring.
Soon there will come chilling blast
I know full we'll it must,
And sweep me from my fragile hold
To mingle in the dust
M1QSJ uutOLu HlyIiduS VA H1J h1Aus
While where once had been
Upon life's tree new verdant leaves
In beauty will be seen.
I've lived my life for good or i'll
But could live it DER,
And / had leave to lay it's course
I would show far different score,
If from my youth | might possess
The wisdom I've amassed
From years of life's grim battling
Through which ] now have passed
Yet this know it cannot be
For it is not Gods will,
Just as he sets a limit ON
My days to linger still;
His will be done, not mine to choose,
Death holds for me no fear,
For this know-when shadows fall,
I feel his presence near

1t is seldom that any one appre-

Grass is the forgiveness OF nature

blood, torn with the ruts of cannon,

carnage is forgotten. Streets aban-

forests decay, harvests perish, mowers
vanish, but grass is immortal. BE-
