There are six $5,000 a year jobs known as code secre taries that are held by republicans, and the governor is asking that these republicans hold ofifee untfl he ' abolishes the code. The democrats think that they | might ak well have the enjoyment of these salaries for whatever length of time they are to he drawn, but the governor is not anxious to put In , men who will naturally try to keep their jobs by opposing any change such as the governor is pledged to make. Democratic workers are urging the governor to at least fill the positions of bureau chiefs, which pay from $2,000 to $3,600 a year, at they argue that these will have to be filled if the code departments are shifted to other state officers or boards of officers as is planned.

Attack on Court Procedure Evokes Opposing Opinions Local Lawyers Inclined to Question Attitude of Author of “The^aw and Its Sorrows,” but Admit Situation Can Be Improved. J. Hannibal Clancey. former mem ber of the Michigan bar and now a resident of Florida, has created a stir throughout the country by his book, "The Law and Its Borrows,” an argument tdr judicial reform. The author frankly states that he does not expect co-operation from the lawyers in his campaign for the reform of le gal practice and procedure, but he presents his case to the bar of public opinion. He contends that the judges have usurped too much to themselves; that pleadings are childish, senseless quib lings. In the place of pleadings, he would have a simple statement of the case made by a "master” of the court. He avers that the present system of practice procedure is a game played between the lawyers with the judge aotlng us umpire. The author refers to what was accompanied in England by the act of judicature in 1875, enu merating the following: Abolishment of the common luw and of all differ ences between law and equity; abolish ment of technical objections and forms of action as well as terms of court; places the originating summons in the hands of a court master and establishes a rules committee ; also consolidated 15 varieties of courts. Seek Expressions. The Omiiha Bee asked J. T. Dysart, president of the Douglas County Bar association: Judge Ben S. Baker and John Bee Webster for expressions on the points raised by Mr. Clancey In his book. Judge Baker, In his statement, wrote: ‘‘If we were to consult the members of the bar and get an hon est opinion therefrom, a large per centage of the difficulties would be charged to inefficiency of the judges, the delay in procedure and trial Of causess is due largely to the judges. Ablest lawyers are not on the bench." President Dysart of the bur associa tion takes a different view, in which he states that It Is unthinkable to dispense with the requirements that rarefully prepared pleadings be filed. Tile elimination of formnl pleadings, he holds, would lower our courts to a level below tho justice courts in their darkest days. He is against has ty judicial procedure. , Need Public Hupport. Mr. Webster, who has appeared in all of the courts to the supreme court of the United States, declares that a forceful, outspoken expression of pub lic sentiment in favor of observance of the law and a stronger adherence to Its fundamental principles. Is more to be desired just now than a propa ganda for law reform. Following, in part, are the state ments of the two men: * BY JOHN LEE WEBSTER. J. Hannibal Clancy, who wrote the volume entitled "The Law and Its Sorrows." would have performed a better service bad he written a vol ume on "The Law and Its Blessings —The Foundation bf Justice—The Brotector of American Rights.” What we need at this time Is not a propaganda in favor of law reform, ljut rather a forceful, outspoken ex pression of public sentiment in favor of due observance of the law and a stronger adherence to Its fundamental principles. This is evidenced by the brutal murders committed at the Illi nois mining town, which, In their atrocities, were never excelled ex cept In the age of barbarism; by Ku Klux Klan organization, which has swept over nearly every southern state, endeavoring to hold officials, state and judicial, under its control by threats and intimidations; by the attempted impeachment of the attor ney general of the United States, sim ply because be endeavored to enforce the law against a group of conspira tors who were unlawfully and wrong fully interfering with interstate com merce. Work Reforms Here. We recognize that many reforms in the administration of justice have been worked out in England, but it is equally true that similar reforms are being worked out In America to ac complish the same general purposes. Mr. Clancy states that In England demurrers have been abolished. So have they, by the rules adopted by supreme court of the United States for the government of all federal courts. Nevertheless, in England and in America the sufficiency of a plead ing may be tested by a motion, to the end that if it does not set forth a le ! gal cause for action, that time, labor and expense may be avoided by an ex parte determination of the rights of the litigant. It may be true, as stated by Mr. Clancy, that In England a legal pro ceeding may be installed by service of a summons In lieu of the filing of a pleading in court; but it is equally true that practice has pre vailed in the state of New York for ; a long period of time, but without any I beneficial results. Other reform methods were worked : out by the adoption of extended civil ; codes. David Dudley Field, in hia | lifetime, was chairman of a commit tee which carried this method to the farthest limits in New York, with the ultimate results that there are more | conflicting . decisions arising out of j the Interpretation and application of ; the code in that state than In any 'other, with the possible exception of Illinois where the common law system is pending, prevails. Can't Abolish Common Law. It is said that Mr. Clancy has j declared that England has abolished I the common law. That is a funda mental mistake. England has not abolished the common law. You can no more abolish the common law than you can abolish civilization. We may admit that mistakes have been made by lawyers and Judges In the administration of justice. But these have been the result of human Infirmities—not the fault of the law Itself. In contrasting the judicial systems of England and America we must keep in mind the political customs of the American people. In England judges are appointed, selected for their ability and their fitness for the duties to be performed. In most of the American states, our judges must first be nominated at a primary elec tion, and afterward elected at a gen eral election. We can safely assert that no more mistakes are made by lawyers, as a class, than aro made by men engaged In any other pursuit of life, be they physicians or merchants or bankers. More financial disasters have befal len the people in every community through the mistakes of business men than have arisen through the .fault or mlstakea of lawyers. The lawyers, as a class, in what they have accomplished for state and national welfare, stand out prominent ly, almost supreme. Agitation Superficial. The agitation for law reform is superficial in a great degree. The philosophy of the law is as truo to day as It ever was, and caq no more be changed In its fundamental prin ciples than the laws of gravitation can be altered; nor can It be so changed until our increasing wisdom shall improve the ethics of life. The great lawyers are men who rise above the technical rules of pro cedure, whose minds range overbroad fields of general knowledge. Such are the big lawyers who do not forget that they are American citizens and that their duty is not to themselves alone, hut to humanity and to their country. Our country is greatly Indebted to Its lawyers for its liberty, for its con stitution. for the stable quality of its government, for its prestige among the nations of the earth. The lead ing men who were active In preparing and adopted the declaration of inde pendence were lawyers. Nearly all of the great men who were in the con vention which framed the federal con stitution were lawyers. Many of the great controversal questions of his toric national interest have been set tled by lawyers. Most of the states men whoso names have been written on the honor roll of our country were trained as lawyers. Jurists turned statesmen have illustrated every page and brightened every year of our | country’s history, BY JUDGE BEN S. BAKER. There seems to be much criticism about tlie law and Its procedure in the United States, and elsewhere, fqr that matter. Undoubtedly there are re forms that might he adopted to better the condition of legal procedure in our country. This is true in the federal courts as well as in the state courts. ' We have no two states that have the same procedure, due to statutory law. Most of the states have what we call the common law, or rather court- j made law based on precedents and decisions of the common law. It Is well known to the profession that court-made law Is based on common law of England. However, the Amer ican courts have drifted far from the precedents of the English courts, and It is not Infrequent that they follow decisions of other courts, where opin ions are illogically reasoned. Such de cisions, instead of being followed, should be Ignored. Perhaps we might say too tjyany courts haven't the breadth of thought and reason to de cide cases on their own Judgment. If we were to consult the members of the bar and get honest opinion therefrom, a large percentage of the difficulties In court decisions would be charged to the Inefficiency of the Judges. It Is a conceded fact that the ablest lawyers are not upon the bench, and yet many of the judges are of the very highest type of legal learning, broad and capable of han dling and applying the law and the facts to each case; but such are not the majority of the judges. The delay In procedure and of the trial of causes is due largely to the judges. For instance, many Judges will permit lawyer; to argue every trivial objection made, when the court knows before the argument, as well as afterwards, just what It is going to do. Prompt rulings would shorten trials materially, and this is particu larly true In equity cases. I am not one that believes In break ing down all barriers of technicality. All pleadings should be technical In use of language—clear and concise— that litigants may know Just what his opponent may be contending for. Amendments should be allowed In all pleadings even to the extent of the court suggesting or requiring amend ments to be made where they are necessary for the protection of liti gants. If courts are wisely selected, in the interest of justice and fairness, and will ignore precedents and will strike right out from the shoulder, then we will have a reform that would be j startling. Will they do It? By J. T. DYSART. A system of court procedure is like a set of traffic rules and must bo framed for the common good of all. There are always some who believe in hasty dealing out ci what they be lieve to be justice, this class ranging from those who believe ‘in lynch law and that might is right, to those who believe in court procedure with in adequate time for preparation and presentation of a cause to properly determine the rights of the parties, that justice inay be done. We have some enthusiasts for the dispatch with which other Jurisdictions and countries dispose of litigation, but after an investigation, the enthusiast usually prefers to have his contro versies determined under our system. I«ads To Criticism. Our system of procedure prescribes : numerous forms of action, and if by ; mistake a controversy is brought into court under the wrong form, the case is necessarily dismissed, and this has led to much of the criticism against the technicalities of the courts. Our statutes require parties simply ; lo state their respective demands and I defenses in ordinary and concise Ian | guage, without repetition; and in my i opinion any attempt to dispense with i the requirements that carefully pre I pared pleadings be filed !b unthlnk ! able. The essential element to the dispatch of litigation is that the exact issue in every law suit be clearly and definitely defined, and there can be no ' be clearly and definitely defined, and there can be no better way of meeting t this requirement than by giving each party the right to call the court's at 1 tention to the fact that this require merit is not being complied with, and have the court require the elimination of the unnecessary or addtion of necessary matters. Legal controver sies are like blades of grass in that they resemble each other and yet there is always some little difference. Und if a system was adopted that would eliminate formal pleadings and ! require simply a formal statement of the parties to a court official, our courts would scfon fall to a standard lower than the justice courts In the darkest days of their history. Urges Intermediate Courts. I believe that about the most prac tical change In our present procedure •would be the working out of a system of Intermediate courts so that all cases would not reach the supreme court, or providing that cases involv ing less than a certain amount could not be appealed unless there was a new or unsettled principle of law in volved therein. The lutter, I believe, is especially practicable as litigants bow to the decision when final deci sion has been reached and decision in volving small matters and old princi pals of law should be determined at as early a time as possible. Personally 1 believe that our system of judicial procedure should be so formed that litigation will be disposed of with the greatest dispatch possible consistent with the duo administration of Justice but always keeping in mind that not speed, but the ascertaining of the rights of the litigants that justice may be done between them should be the control element in framing or maintaining a system of procedure. Labor Situation Reported on Mend Employment Prospects Bright for Remainder of Winter— Shortage in Some Lines. Washington, Dec. 25.—The employ ment situation is encouraging and prospects are bright for the remain der of the winter, according to a sur vey just completed by the employ ment service of the Department of Labor. Nearly all states reported a condition much better than at this time last year, and the situation was described as fair to good in most sec tions. States _ affected by seasonal sus pension of logging operations or farm work, and those where trans portation is hampered by strikes and car shortages, were the only ones re porting unfavorably, and In all of them improvement was expected soon after the first of the year. Building operations throughout tlie country were reported holding a pace almost unprecedented, only a few states in the nortli showing a slowing up because of the weather. Tho manufacturing states, almost without exception, reported shortage of skilled mechanics. Textile mills were running full blast and needed labor. The automobile industry also was running 100 per cent, but the labor supply about equalled the de mand. The steel industry showed a general expansion, with a demand for all kinds of labor and the call for material workers generally exceeding the supply.

(Copyright, imt.) iContlnorrl from Yrotorday.) Yet. after time enough had passed | to complete the processes. It was j learned that the fingerprints on the shiny hlnck wood of the chair under 1 discussion were Indubitably those of Gordon Lockwood. Also, there were other prints there, slightly smaller, that Cray immediately assumed to he those of the missing Japanese. Lockwood looked more supercilious ; than usual, If that were possible. "How can you identify the prints of a man not here?” he asked with an ' incredulous look. "Supposition not identification,” said C^ray. gravely. "But we’re nar rowing these things down, and we may yet get identification," "Get the Jap back.” advised Old Salt Adams. "That’s your next move, Cray. Get him, check up his finger prints and all that, and best of all get his confession. There’s your work cut out for you." "Kind Hr. Waring’s will,” Mrs. Bates lamented. "There's your work cut out for you. 1 am not unduly mercenary, but when I know how anxious Dr. Waring was that I should Inherit his estate, when I realize what it meant that he drew this will before our marriage, so urgent was his desire that all should be mine, you must un derstand that I do not willingly forego it all in favor of a distant relative, whom, Mr. Crimmins tells us, Dr. Waring did not care for at all." "I should say not!” and Crimmins looked positive. "It will he an outrage If Mr. Trask inherits the estate al ready willed to Mrs. Bates. I stand ready to do all I can to see justice done in this matter." "But justice, as you see it. can only result from the finding of the will," said Cray. "Yes, agreed Crimmins, "and the whole matter opens up a new train of thought. May not the distant cousin, this man Trask, be in some way re sponsible for the destruction of the will and the death of the decedent?" “It is a new way to look.” Cray agreed, with a thoughtful air; “and we will look that way, you rest assured. We will at once get in touch with this cousin, you will give us his address, and learn where he was and how em ployed on the night of Dt. Waring’s death. We still Wave to face the prob lem of an outsider's exit from a locked room, and though it seems more ex plicable in the case of a member of the household, yet a new suspect brings fresh conditions, and’ perhaps fresh evidence, which may show us where to lpok. At any rate, we must speedily find Mr. Maurice Trask.” A Suspicious Cold. "Look here, Esther,” said Old Salt to his wife, "that’s a mighty curious case over at Waring's." “How you do talk! I should think that to you and me, knowing and loving John Waling as we did, you’d have no doings with the curious part of it! As for me, I don’t care who killed him. He’s dead, isn't he? It can’t bring him hack to life to hang his murderer. And to my mind it's heathenish—all this detectiving and evidencing—or whatever they call it. Whom do they suspect now? You?” Adams looked at his wife with s mild reproach. “Woman all over! No sense of justice, no righetous In dignation. Don’t you know the mur derer must be found and punished? 1 That is If it whs a murder." •"Of course it was! That blessed man never killed himself! And he about to marry Emily Bates—a lady, if ever ther*> was one!” "Well, now' you listen to me, Esther, and whatever you do don't go bab bling about this. They say the Jap, j who vamoosed from the Waring house, made a line of foot tracks in the snow. The snow's crusted over, you know, and those footprints are about as clear now as when they were made." "Huh! footprints! Corinth is full of footprints.” “Yes, but these—listen. Esther— these lead straight from the Waring house over to this house. And back again.” "How can they?" Mrs. Adams looked mystified. "That Japanese didn't come over here " "You can't say that he didn't. And, look here, Esther, where's Miss Aus tin? What’s she doing?” "Miss Austin? She's In her room. She hasn't been quite up to the mark for a day or two, and she's had her meals upstairs.” “What’s the matter with her?” "A slight cold, she says. I can't make her out. Salt. What's she do ing here, anyway?” "Don't pester her. my dear. How you and Basrom do love to pick al that girl! Why does she have to do anything?” “It’s queer, though. And I hate mystery." “Well, she is one—1 grant you that. Have you told her about Dr. War ing? Though I daresay it wouldn't interest her?” "And I daresay it would! Why, : that girl cut his picture out of the paper, and she did have one stuck up on her dresser, till I looked at it sort of sharp like, and she put it away." "Poor child! Can't even have n newspaper clipping, if she wants it! Y'ou’re a tyrant, Esther! Don't you ever try to boss pie like that!" The good-natured smile that passed between them proved the unlikeli hood of this, and Old Salt went on, "f wish you'd tell her, wife, about the tragedy. Seems like she ought to know.” Mrs. Adams stared at him. "I’ll tell her, as a matter of course, hut I don't know why you're so anxious about it.” "Good morning, Miss Austin," the good lady said, soon after, "better this morning?” “Yes. thank you. My cold is al most entirely well." The girl was Hitting by the window in an easy chair. She lmd on a Japa nese dressing gown of quilted silk, embroidered with chrysanthemums, and listlessly gazing out across the snow-covered field opposite. The Adams house was on the out skirts of the little town, and sepa rated by a wide field from the War ing place. "Heard the news about Dr. War ing?” Mrs. Adams said In a casual tone, but watching the girl closely. "No; what is it?" The words were simple and the voice steady, but Miss Austin's hands I clutched the arms of the chair and : tier face turned perfectly white. "Why, what ails you? You don't know the man. do you?'" •'1—I heard him lecture, you know. Tell me—what is the—the news?” “He's dead.-' Mrs. Adams spoke bluntly on purpose. She had felt in a vague way. that this strange per son. this Miss Mystery, had more in terest in Pr. Waring than she ad mitted. and the landlady was deter mined to tlnd out. To her own satisfaction she did find out. for the girl almost fainted. She didn't quite lose consciousness, in deed, it was not so much a faint as such a desperate effort to regain her poise, that It unnerved her. "Now, now, Miss Austin, why do you take it so hard? He was a stran ger to you, wasn't he?" “Yes—yes. of course, he was." “Why are you so disturbed then?" “He was such a—such a fine man—" the girl's stifled sobs impeded her speech. "Well, somebody killed him.” At thnt Miss Austin seemed turned to stone. ‘‘Killed him!” Bhe whis pered, in accent of terror. "Yes—or else he killed himself— they don't feet sure.” Mrs. Adams, oncq embarked on the narrative, told all she knew of the circumstances, and in tlie exciting recital almost for got to watch tlie effect of the tale on her listener. Hut this effect was not entirely un noted. At the partly open door, Old Salt Adams stood, eavesdropping, but with a kindly, anxious- look on his face that boded no ill to anyone. And he noticed that the girl's atten tion was wandering. She was pitifully white, her face drawn and scared, and soon sho exclaimed, with a burst oC nervous fury, "Stop! please etopl Leave the room, won't you?" It was not a, command, but an agonixed entreaty. Mrs Adams fairly Jumped, and ularmed as well as of fended. she rose and started for the door, only to meet her husband en tering. "Go down stairs. Esther," he said, gravely, "1 want to speak to Miss Austin myself." Staring at one (hen at thS other, and utterly routed by this unbeliev able turn of affairs. Mrs Adams wen!. Old Salt closed the room door, and turned to the trembling girl. “Mlsy Austin.” he said kindly. "I like you. I want to help you—hut t must ask you to explain yourself a little. The people In my houye call you Miss Mystery. Why are you here? Why are you In Corinth at all?" For a moment the girl seemed about to respond to his kindly, gentle atti tude and address. Then, something stayed her, and she let her lovely face harden to a stony blankness, as she replied. "It Is a bit intrusive, hut I’ve no reason not to tell. I am an art student, and 1 came here to paint New England winter scenery." "Have you done much?" "1 haven't been here quite a week yet—and I've been picking out avail able hits—and for two days I've had a cold.” "How did you get cold?” The voice was kind hut it had a definite note, as If desirous of an accurate answer. Miss Mystery looked at him. ITo Ho Continued Tomorrow.) Children Ciy for Fletcher’s The Kind You Have Always Bought has borne the signa ture of Chus. 11.
