SIMPLER JUSTICE

For the average citizen who Is al
times forced into litigation over
matters that seem to him trivial
] nothing Is more annoying than the
process of the courts Not to men,
ton attorney fees and court costs.
he is subjected to tiresome waits
and waste Of time. He often Won
ders IL there is not possible. In our
civilization some easier way to JUS
tice than we have provided, If the
path cannot be made straighter and
the public be protected In its rights
without the long tortuous course or
modern court procedure.
1t is encouraging to see that eff
forts are being made In this direc-
ton. We have in some cities courts
Of domestic relations and tribunals
for arbitration of minor disputes
which have proved fairly successful.
Their advantage has depended large
ly on the amount of good sense and
discretion used by the judges. A wise
Judge has an opportunity to accom-
plish much good; an impatient or
harsh official may defeat the very
purpose Of his court.
Legislatures have been slow to
extend this field. perhaps because 1t
is largely task for lawyers to
frame court bills and to some extent
because the average lawmaker fails
to realize the necessity of such
measures. The Kansas legislature
however, made a start in this direc-
ton. 1t adopted statute which
gives the comparatively new legal
phrase "declaratory judgments" a
broader meaning. The bill was pre-
pared on the initiative Of the state
supreme court and was drawn by
Justice Burch with the advice of his
associates, for the especial purpose
OF leSsenng the food Of litigation
constantly coming to that Court,
even in purely agricultural state.
The court believed that 1t could de.
else means for avoiding some Of the
mass Of actions numbering the dock
cts of the lower courts and give more
time for careful consideration Of i'm
portant matters.
The statute provides that in class
Of cases suitable to such decision,

That after all Is the important

Justice IL. The courts apparently
are constructed on the theory That
their province is to determine mat
ters of dispute after the fact. This
departure proceeds on the idea that
the public has a right to know what
are its rights-and- to have them de-
termined without needless expense.
The plan differs from arbitration In
that there is no advocate for either
side. An arbitration board usually
includes two opposing advocates,
each working to secure the support
OF A third member With the two
parties to the dispute in court, the
Judge has but to decide on a basis
OF abstract justice and 1t should pro-
duce satisfactory results. Fairness,
when the applicant can find out
what fairness IL, appeals to pracs
tically every citizen. A method by
which he can be assured Of this
meets need long existing In our
system Of Jurisprudence.
Significant Of the appreciation OF
the public and Of its desires, Is the
approval with which the pew law has
been received by the people Of Kan
sas. From all parts Of the state
have come praise for the legisla-
lures action. In some instances
are expressions of surprise that the
legislature should have taken so
helpful a forward step. That 1t did
so only because of the initiative OF
the supreme court points the way to
action in other states and
perhaps to additional legislation that
will make the way to speedy and in
expensive justice simpler for the
citizen who asks only for

Did you notice the item in the
county nurses report this month to
the effect that of the "a children at
the st. Joseph's orphanage only two
are under weight? 1t is doubtful If
any other home for children-churcn,
state or private institution--in Kan
sas can show such a record. Abilene
has watched the orphanage and has
been impressed by the cleanliness
and good care that surround the
children. They are not dressed as
fororn charges; they have the look
of well cared for little folks and the
record shows that they are having a
healthful atmosphere. Pure milk
and fresh air abound on the hill and
they have secured resOlts. These
reflections were prompted by an item
in a Concordia paper reporting a
health test in the public schools. OF
$50 pupils examined 232 were under
weight. The orphanage seems to
give better care to children than
some homes.
