money for cigars and livery hire.
Wharton put these statesmen of, and
they went away doubling whether they
would support the "old man" or fight
him. The congressman's presence in
the little town was an event, and he
had callers all day long who seemed
to need help In different ways. Sol
diers desired pensions, mothers asked
for positions in Washington for their
sons; young women called to see about
clerkships; widows, whose husbands
he had known, came to borrow money.
He was honestly glad to see all these
people and, when he could, he helped
them; he rarely made an enemy, even
though he always was frank.
1t was Saturday evening, and Whar-
ton was just entering on his second
week at home, he and his friend, Ike"
Russell, were sitting on the southern
porch of the congressman home.

THE COMMON COURTS.

II don't want to serve on any jury"
So common a statement is accepted
IS apart of our national life. No
one wants to serve on jury save the
Door devil who, as professional
iuryman," is satisfied with two or
three. dollars day that vocation"
gives him.
Judges rave, they say the public
is part of the judiciary system, and
that the public should be as inter-
ested in the jury as is the judge and
the law court.
But did anyone ever hear of a judge
trying to reform the outworn, out
d-date, cumbersome, and illogical
procedure which distinguishes the
court of justice from all other insti-
tions in the country which makes a
religion out of efficiency?
Busy men, business men, don't want
to serve on a jury because they feel
that they waste their time. They
know that the work they will there do
IN a month could be done in week
IF the court was properly organized;
they contrast the leisurly procedure
Of court, which opens at ten, lunches
from twelve to two, and closes at
four m the afternoon, with their own
busy days; they contrast the labori-
Gus, roundabout, red-taped method of
ordinary court practice with their
own di ect-action methods, and beg
to be excused.
The jury is the guarantee of justice
in this country; but it works an in
justice when it destroys time, labor,
and efficiency because of a hide-bound
slavery to ancient legal tradition,
which comes from an age when time
was of little worth, and efficiency a
word not yet coined.
