JUDICIAL REFORM

The American Bar Association, in
convention assembled, has made
many recommendations, doubtless all
wise, looking towards judicial re-
form. Chief Justice Taft, whose
worldwide reputation as a jurist
suffers not at all from his able ex-
position of needed legal changes. has
outlined through this association to
the legal profession of the country.
the things which he believes should
be done to make our judicial system
better.
All of which is we'll, very well; but
perhaps not well enough. Did it
ever occur to lawyer do you sup
pose, to ask layman for his ideas
OF judicial reform?
1t probably did not. The legal
mind" can not think as the layman
thinks, and yet law is for the lay
man, justice is for the layman.
courts are for the layman.
II you have a case of any sort it
is put on docket. When 1t is
reached, you must be there to de-
fend or prosecute it. If they say to-
morrow and you come tomorrow.
NAAA3 AAtJ WAbACcoOS
and the court isn't ready you wait.
The witnesses wait. The Judge must
not wait. If courts ran to a sche-
dule and the schedule ran out once
in a while, and the court did moth
ing but hold it's hands, more money
would be saved than under the pres
ent rule, which is to keep the court
busy though hundreds of witnesses,
lawyers, complainants, and defend
ants wait around and lose money.
II you are sued and any one
can sue you for anything, whether
you owe 1t or not !. you must de-
fend the suit. You must pay your
lawyers; lawyers have to live. If it
costs you hundred, thousand. or
fifty thousand dollars, you must pay
it. If you win the unjust suit, you
are told you have justice; but your
bank account doesn't show it.
What we need is not reform Of the
law for within, so much as reform
from without; what the law needs is
the layman's point of view, which is
that speed and absence of expense are
both parts of true justice; that no
decision, no matter how correct, is.
truly just If it has cost much money
and time to obtain.

SOUTHERN WHOLESALE co.
Wholesale Distributors
Brookhaven, Mississippi
Surprise Birthday Party.

On Thursday afternoon when the
days business was over and Mr.. r
F. Aylward walked out of his store
he found to his surprise his delivery
truck and an auto, standing in front
Of the store all filled with his EN-.
ployees. Mr.. Aylward climbed in the
truck and the driver headed for the
Aylward home.
There was much giggling and Mr.
Aylward said: II don't know what
you are up to but guess it's all
right"
Upon arriving at home Mr.. Ayl.
ward found out the cause.
His good wife and dear old mother
and his charming little daughter
Mary Ellen, had joined with Mr.. Ayl-
wards loyal employees in a surprise
party on the occasion of his birth
day.
The table in the dining room was
all set and ready for a plate lunch
con, followed by ice cream and cake,
A large birthday cake made by Mr..
Aylward's mother was in the centre
OF the table, filled with pink can
dies. The cream was pink and white
with a pink rose on each plate as a
souvenir, the color scheme through
out being in these colors.
While all were seated at the ta-
BILE, Mr.. w. M. Jones, acting as
spokesman for the store employees,
presented Mr.. Aylward with a hand
some silver mounted fountain pen at
tached to which was card that read
as follows:-
"A greeting on your birthday,
"A message warm and true,
To wish you every happiness
Today and all life through"
(Signed) Employees.
Mr.. Aylward was so overcome with
joy and surprise that it was hard for
him to find words adequate to thank
his loyal employees and dear home
folks for the beautiful token and
celebration given him. He assured
them of his true appreciation of their
thoughtfulness.
One of the employees expressed to
Mr.. Aylward the hope that he would
live to be hundred-and that the
speaker would continue to be on the
staff of employees.
The whole affair was most en-
ioyable to all participants and was a
splendid closing of perfect day.

STREET ACCIDENTS.

A campaign TO reduce the tremen-
dous number OF street accidents Is
being promoted by the Safety In
stitute Of America The problem OF
street traffic grows worse every wear
as automobiles increase and more
reckless drivers are on the road.
Tile use OF the streets for all kinds
OF traffic always constituted a prob
lem. Even in our grandfathers'
tines heavy wagons were running
over pedestrians at city crossings.
Old Dobbin was boiling when he saw
flying piece of paper, and terrible
injuries sometimes resulted. But
automobiles have created conditions
that the old timers never dreamed OF,
and have made accidents so common
that they almost cease to attract mo-
tice.
The typical haste Of American life
is the chief cause OF these mfschances
our impatient people can't learn
to wait, Instead of resting phiIoso-
phically at the street corner until
other cars get by, drivers must
plunge in and take the risk of col
lision. They would rather run the
chance of running over some child
than let up on their speed on going
through towns.
Safety lectures in schools, more
rigid enforcement of the automobile
laws, ETC., such efforts help a good
deal. They can probably cut down
the number of accidents from one
half to two thirds in any city where
they are used effectively. But they
do not remove the fundamental trou-
BILE. And that is our general spirit
of hurry and lack Of calm.
1t only takes a minute for a dri-
yer or pedestrian to wait until
conditions are right and then pro-
coed. People who go on that prin-
ciple rarely get into trouble. One
good way to reduce accidents, is to
let people know what hogs they make
Of themselves when they try to rush
In ahead of others in street traffic.
The man who can't be persuaded to
be, calm and patient, can perhaps be
induced to show courtesy, If shown
that his pushing and aggressive ways
make him an object of aversion in
the community.
But in our opinion the thing that
would be most effective in lessening
speed and avoiding accidents is a
good fat fine! 1t has been tried else
where.

ROADS RECRUIT
MEN F0R SHOPS
IN NORTHWEST
Points Report
NJ Return of Shopmen
to Retain Seniority.
St. Paul Leaders Say
Few Desert Ranks to
Resume Former Posts.

St. Paul, July 18.-Active recruiting
Of men to take the place Of striking
shopworkers was begun Tuesday by the
various railroads in the northwest.
Old employers of the Great North
ern and Northern Pacific had until 10
a. m. Tuesday to report for work If
they wished to retain seniority and
other rights. :,
Union leaders declared there would
be few defections from their ranks.
The northwest lines had been ne
gotiating with r. A. Henning, president
Of the Federated Shop crafts for the
northwest. in an effort to arrive at a
separate settlement of the strike, but
these informal conferences ended Sat
urday when permission for a regional
agreement was denied by B. N. Jewell,
national head of the shopmen. a ma
tional settlement being the end sought.
Following this announcement the
northwest rail executives decided to
begin an organized campaign for new
employees.
According to Mr.. Henning. more than
60. 900 shopmen on % railroads in the
northwest states. from Chicago to the
Pacific coast, have walked out.

NUMEROUS SCHOOLS
CLOSED BECAUSE Of
FINANCES TRUMPER
Hundreds of Buildings Will Not
Open Says Head of
System.

Miles City. July 1s.--fBy The Asso-
ciated Press.)-That hundreds OF
school districts in the state of Montana
will not be able to maintain school
sessions for the full nine months dur
ing the ensuing school year on account
of the lack Of finances to support, is
the statement made here Tuesday by
Miss May Trumper of Helena, superin-
tendent Of public instruction, in an ad-
dress before the Miles City regional
summer school.
Only the careful handling Of school
funds will save school district warrants
from being %repudiated. she said. calling
attention to an interview which she
recently had with Attorney General
Wellington D. Rankin, in which it was
brought out that. although school dis
tricts are not supposed to issue war
ANTS in exces of funds in hand or in
sight, which in a few instances has been
done. the practice must be discon-
tinued.
Attendance Of the schools Of the
state has increased, said Miss Trumper,
during the last ID years. and has
doubled since 1910. and is in excess
Of mean Of maintaining schools and
the necessity has arisen for the build
ing of new school houses. High school
education, she added, is much more
expensive thar elementary and more
revenue is needed.
Miss Trumper advocates more equal
distribution of school funds in Mon
tana and the passage Of an inheritance
law and a state income tax law for
the purpose of increasing the states
school funds to meet the rising needs
for the growing school population in the
state.
