The United States supreme court has adopted a new rule with respect to injunctions.

Every tempor ary restraining order shall he forth with filed in the clerk's office. Referring to the new rule, the Houston (Tex.) Post says: From the fact that the supreme court as now constituted is composed in part of ahle attorneys who, until they re ceived their recent appointment as members of that tribunal, had large experience in practice before the federal courts, it may be assumed that tho new rules had suggestion to some extent in the recognition of these new members of the urgent ne cessity for such reforms; but, at the same time, the fact must not be lost sight of that the national democratic platform adopted at Baltimore con tained this plank: "We recognize the urgent need of reform in the ad ministration of civil and criminal laws in the United States, and recom mend the enactment of such legis lation and the promotion of such measures as will rid the present legal system of the delays, expense and uncertainties incident to the system as now administered." As the Post recently suggested, there is much that the courts them selves may do in tho way of reform ing procedure, without awaiting legislative action having that end in view.

President Taft's last Thanksgiving proclamation was as follows: "By the president of the United States A proclamation A God-fearing nation, like ours, owes it to its inborn sincere sense of moral duty to testify its de vout gratitude to the All Giver for the countless benefits it has enjoyed. For many years it has been custom ary at tho close of the year for the national executive to urge upon his fellow countrymen to offer praise and thanks to God for the manifold bless ings vouchsafed to them in the past, and to unite in earnest suppliance for their continuance. "The year now drawing to a close has been notably favorable to our fortunate land. At peace within andf without, free from the perturbations and calamities that have afflicted uLur poopies, ricn m Harvests so abundant and industries so produc tive that the overflow of our pros perity has advantaged the whole world, strong in the steadfast r.nnr- vation of the heritage of self-government bequeathed to us by the wis dom of our fathers, and firm in the resolve to transmit that heritage, un impaired but rather improved by good use, to our children and our children's children for all time to come, the people of this country have abounding cause for contented grati tude. "Wherefore, I, William Howard Taft, president of the United States of America, in pursuance of long established usage and in response to tne wisn or the American people, in vite my countrymen, wheresoever they sojourn, to join, on Thursday, the twenty-eighth day of this month of November, in appropriate ascrip tion of praise and thanks to God for the good gifts that have been our portion, and in humble prayer that His great mercies toward us may endure." jBiliF.
