Chatt admits that "At law he's a

round, jolly and fat."
PICTURESQUE, BUT INEFFICIENT
Our legal procedure is not up with
the times. Something is out of gear.
In criminal cases, according to the
1910 statistics, less than 2 per cent
of the homicides committed in the
United States were followed by con
viction. Not so In Canada; there the
convictions ranged from 60 to 80 per
cent.
In civil cases, general opinion is the
only guide as to whether or not just
findings are arrived at. The almost
disrespect in which the law processes
are held, and the lack of confidence
with which citizens go to court are
indications of what the general opin
ion is.
Lawyers know that a lawsuit is
pretty much a game in which Provi
dence is on the side of the client with
the most money and the shrewdest
attorneys. It is common belief among
an increasing number that the semi
perjury of witnesses, the prejudice of
juries, the technicalities of law, and
the poverty of clients often, very
often, defeat the ends of justice.
From this belief has come the saying
that courts are no longer courts of
justice, but courts of law.
Is it not now high time to find out
from what basic faults these abuses
spring? Is it not now pertinent to
inquire why In efficiency and sim
plicity Nebraska lags so far behind
Canada for example. We are of the
same blood and tongue, and certainly
geography makes little difference.

WAR INFORMATION IN
HISTORY DEPARTMENT
Doctor Caldwell Calls Students' Atten
tion to the Numerous Magazines
In the History Department.
Professor Caldwell wishes to call
the attention of the students to the
fact that the department of American
history is subscribing for a large
number of papers and magazines bear
ing on the present European situa
tion as well as matters of general in
terest. These papers are to be found
in U. 210, the American History
office, which is open at all times of
the day. Any one who is interested
in the current happenings of the
world will find much valuable infor
mation by looking over these various
magazines.
The list consists of the following
pamphlets and newspapers: West
minster Gazette and London Times,
published in London, and bearing on
the European situation; The Survey,
which tells of the effect of the war
on social life in Europe; the Literary
Digest and LaFollette's Weekly, for
matters of interest in both America
and Europe. There is also a paper
entitled "Association Men," which
will be of interest to members of the
Y. M. C. A.
t or tnose wno wish to make a more
detailed study of the European war,
the department offers magazines, sent
here by Sir Gilbert Parker, containing
correspondence bearing on European
crises, and speeches by Sir Edward
Grey, secretary of state for foreign
affairs, and by Prime Minister As-
quith; also pamphlets entitled "Rup
ture of Diplomatic Relations With
Autria" and "Rupture of Diplomatic
Relations With Germany."
"Let it be noted," says Professor
Caldwell, "that the department of
American History will be glad for
students to use these paers, since
they are gotten especially for the
benefit of the student body. Anything
that is not understood and any fur
ther details desired will be fully explained."

the fact that the yelling had nothing
to do with the real play. That it was
a fiction (as they say in law) Intended
merely to cloud the real issue. The be

the moment of that discovery. The fun

The famous Farmer formations melt
ed like wax (too early for snow) be
fore the terrible onslaught of the
aroused Cornhuskers. Three times,
while carrying the ball, the freshmen
were forced from the middle of the
flpld. into the shadow of tneir own
goal posts. Most of the regulars tnen
retired, DeLamatre going in for Doyle,
Seizor for Rutherford, Hawkins for
Potter, Porter for Howard, Wilson for
Balis, Gross for Xorris, Halberslaben
for Cameron, Gering for Chamberlain,
Dale for Abbott, Shields for Corey and
Van Meter for Halligan.
The second stringers were almost as
successful in holding the youngsters,
as were the regulars. Due credit must
be given the freshmen, however, for
the remarkable fight they put up,
handicapped, as they were, by having
to use signals and formations entirely
new to them until two days ago.
A Letter to Nebraskans.
To the Daily Nebraskan:
The Alumni of the University of Ne
braska, and especially of the Law
College, should not overlook the fact
that Judge M. B. Reese, our former
Dean, is a candidate this fall for re
election to the office of Chief Justice
of our supreme court.
The Alumni, and especially those of
us who were students while Judge
Reese was Dean, cannot and ought not
forget the many courtesies extended to
us by Judge Reese, and also his untir
ing efforts in our behalf, to the end
that we, as disciples of Blackstone,
Kent, et a!., might grasp the true prin
ciples upon which government and
law are founded, and be lawyers, not
only in name, but in truth and In fact.
Neither can we forget his earnest ef
forts to impress upon all of us the
urgent need of honor ard Integrity in
our profession, and good citizenship in
geweral.
By his encouragement and assist
ance, so frequently rendered and so
kindly given, many of us were helped
over difficulties that seemied for the
time unsurmountable, and this extra
care in our behalf, ought not to go
wholly unrewarded.
For one who has done so much for
us, and so much in placing the Law
College of the University of Nebraska
on a plane of high standing, should we
not show him more than the ordinary
political consideration, especially In
view of hia generally admitted, high
qualifications for the office? He cer
tainly deserves our courteous consid
eration and support; will we give it?
Let us show Judge Reese by our votes
this fall that we appreciate him, not
only as a friend and Dean, but also as
Chief Justice of our supreme court.
Respectfully submitted,
B. E. HENDRICKS.
