Judicial Reform. Anything that professes to b a re form of our courts ts balled with ap proval. The public, for a century fa miliar with tbe antiquated procedure. noecessary supernumeraries, un trained officers, half-baked Judges, loose regulation of lawyers, excessive eost of litigation and a dosan other faults, assumes that any change would be an Improvement. Tbe American Dar association meeting at Detroit presents through a committee a gen- ral plan for reorganizing state courts. It Includes a systematUatlon which would have in every state three chief branohea. county courts, a superior court ot first instance and a final eourt of appeals. All judges would be Judges of the whote court, assigned to some branch or locality, but eligible and liable to sit la any other branch ben necessary. The business admin Istration of the court would be organ ized so as to prevent duplication and eedless clerical work and reduce ex penses to litigants. The plan, if adopted, might effect great improvement in the conduct ot courts, but It Is proper to take Into account tbe weaving of court pro ceedings into the whole fabric, ot law nd social as well aa Industrial life. A separation at a stroke cannot be ef fected without producing some con- uslons and probably some losses to the community. Courts are mostly created by tbe constitutions of the states. It would be a work of years and probably of prolonged discussion to apply a uniform system to all of the states. Those who are Jealous of state rights might not be. ready to ap prove a new system which would al most certainly soon be affiliated with tbe federal Judiciary and still farther obliterate state lines. v. People who object to tbe old state judiciary do not always realize that fflciency Is largely a personal ques tion more than one ot fundamental organisation. One judge can soon de moralize a docket and give a court an unfavorable reputation when another will set all straight in a few weeks. One Judge Is a reliable exponent of the law, but a careless business man. Another is a poor lawyer, but a push ing executive. These personal differ ences are less common, but are some times seen also In the federal Ju diciary. The greatest improvement that could be effected in tbe state courts would be a raising of the stand ards. Only an elevated view by the people themselves and the test of per sonal fitness would do this. The peo ple must be educated up to tbe point not only of demanding judges of abil ity and capacity, but also of knowing the difference between a strong Judge and a weak one. The Bar association plan might help some, but it gets down finally to the selection of high stand ard men for the bench. Oyiters and Typhoid. In Chicago the health commissioner and the director of laboratories are sharply at Issue over the oyster. Not over the "R" months, but over a deeper question. Does tbe oyster cause typhoid and other gerpi dis eases or Is it made harmless by a power - to destroy within Itself the bacilli T It Is no trivial subject Last win ter several packers and supply houses between Long Island and Pamlico sound Incurred heavy losses from the popular fear that oysters carried ty phoid The great and historic oyster trade of the Chesapeake, employing thousands of persons, declined from the same cause in a way to aend the demand down to an alarming extent. Dr. Biehn, director of the city laboratories, reports formally that be learns from experiments that oysters poaeess aa Inherent power to destroy typhoid bacilli. Dr. Evans, health commissioner, wishes to be shown be fore Dr. Biehn's experiments are la beled with the name of Chicago. Last winter the talk that frightened (he oyster men came from bacteriolo gists In New York and vicinity who examined oyster for typhoid and found enough of the bacilli to raise a doubt of tbe prudence of eating one of the bivalves. Dr. Evans admits that be never made a test himself and, while be does not directly traverse the Biehn report, ne thinks that when other bacteriologist have found the bacilli it Is bis duty to make absolutely eer tain , the circumstances of the Biehn Investigation and all the steps In the processes employed. It Is a subject considerably greater than bencoate of soda. To hurt the business of pungies, bug-eyes, canoes and buy-boats In the ChesaDeaka would cause regret, but the colon bacillus and the typhoid germ cannot be admitted to our table, if we know how to prevent. Give the public all the latest from all tbe oyster scientists Polities ia a Snicker. Southern democrats' once exercised more than a rair snare of national power. From Jefferson to Buchanan they moved the levers of federal action oftener than any other part of the population. Suddenly they lost It completely. For a time they were embittered, alternately angry and then hoping that"the Joy of directing the nation might return. The last cam palgn turned them Into a breed of Ironical scoffers. They have almost ceased to take national politics serl ously, a regrettable condition because they have a talent for politics which for the country's sake should not be wasted. They have a laugh, half sad and half angry, ready for themselves and for their party. The Charleston News and Courts has a special gift at emitting the seri ous irony which so exactly axpreasee the present temper of southern demo crats. Over the shoulder of the Ilmia- THE BEE: ton Post Major Hemphill asks how a Texas man reconciles undying devo tion to William J. Pryan and all bis utterances with reverence for Joe Bailey and all he does. Major Hemphill's pet aversion has now told his thought of Joe Bailey and has by Inference read another "Great Statesman" out of tbe party. It does not change the southern aspect. The south is marking time and telling stories until the tread of destiny brings the daybreak of serious hopes, ambitions and convictions to tbe dem ocrats of the section. The Post can be polite to both Bryan and Bailey. Major Hemphill can be impolite to both. If the Post answers the In terrogatory of tbe News and Courier It will be with one of tbe unmeaning sarcasms with which southern papers while away a savorless period. Sena tor Bailey "will not surrender hie firm convictions of right and justice," even If his convictions are expressed In ways that make Bryan's Denver plat form a thing of laughter. Major Hemphill asks the Post how such things can be. He cares not a pepper corn that they are or how they can be. Nor does the Poet. They have their little flings at each other, and ot such Is the state of politics In the southland. Once there were men and battles up and down the halls of na tional politics when there was some thing, right or wrong, to fight over. Now at best there is only gymnasium practice, only the cap and bells tricks )f relaxation. Pettifogrjinj. Our amiable democratic contem porary, tbe world-Herald, comes ravely to the defense of the accept ance by one of the nonpartisan demo cratic candidates for supreme Judge of a retainer from a hated foreign cor poration to help nullify one of the good laws put on the statute books by tbe late democratic legislature. The World-Herald's argument would do redit to a Philadelphia lawyer. This is the way it runa: On the present occasion he the nonpar tisan candidate for supreme judge) appears for a ellent who attacks a state law. That client has the same right to appear la court, to b represented by counsel, that the state has. Any reputable attorney has the earns right to appear In behalf of an Individual that he has to appear for the state. In appearing before the court a liti gant la entitled to summon an- officer of the eourt to speak for him, and, unless oonsclentloua reasons forbid. It ts the duty of that officer of tbe court to respond to the summons. This la all a part of our Judicial system. To say that because be (the nonpartisan democratto candidate for supreme judge) happens to have been named for an Important - publlo office he should not perform this service, U to say that he should be auch a coward as to re fuse the performance of, a professional duty because it might work injury to Ms candidacy Most beautifull But it . sounds more like the voiee of a corporation Esau than the mouthpiece ot a reform Jacob, Yet, come to examine it closer, there is this saving clause, "unless conscien tious reasons forbid." This, of course. Is no case where conscience should prick. A nonpartisan democratic law yer might just as well take the tainted money, which tbe corporate nulllflers hang up in a contingent fee, aa to let some rank partisan republican lawyer get It. But If money does not count and no "conscientious reasons" enter in, why should not the nonpartisan demo cratic' candidate have volunteered for the people to help defend a good and wise law placed on the statute books by the late democratic legislature in stead of hiring out to a corrupting cor poration to work ltsundoing? Still another question of consclen tlous scruple might be raised by point Ing to the democratic platform which endorses In general terms all the re form legislation enacted this year bearing the democratic label. Ac cording to the democratic oracle at Falrview, every candidate running on a platform is under moral obligation In tbe nature of a contract to uphold it in spirit as well as in letter. Can a conscientious lawyer run for supreme Judge on a platform endorsing a law which he ts at the very moment re tained by an odious coporatlon to help nullify? There Is more in It, therefore, than mere verbal dialectics as to whether a litigant, nowever wrong, is entitled to the assistance of legal coansel, and whether a lawyer has a moral right to accept a fee to represent a client with whose eanse he has no sympathy. The aemocratio candidates for supreme judge are posing as high-minded non partisans occupying a moral plane elevated far above the ordinary com monplace lawyer, and they are asking for votes in disregard of party lines on the claim that they are much holier and better than their opponents. When the World-Herald tries to picture its nonpartisan democrats as standing on lofty pedestals and then suddenly dl covers one of them down on the bot torn step reaching for filthy lucre from any old client, no wonder It finds It hard to keep up the delusion. As the Red Shirts hold their reunion Charlotte and Charleston debate whether Anglo-Saxon civilization did well In experimenting with the Klu Kiux and the Red Shirts. The contro versy is thickened when the present generation discovers that "the Red Shirt was the badge of democracy, and in 1876 democracy meant decency." How did all this come to be left out of the Denver platform? Some ot our suburbanites want the school board to reduce the high school tuition for .nonresidents? Why should it be reduced?

The garbage contractor la asking for a new contract with additional concessions, before his old contract expires, setting up the ground that by advice of bt attorneya bta old con tract was illegal.

If we are to have a new garbage contract let us have one that lis binding on both side. Harriman's inclined railway ts as famous is hla endless chain of rail roads.

At the recent primary election In Omaha fop tbe nomination of all party tickets, the total number of votes cast was 8.419, and tbe cosC to the tax payers almost $1 a vote.

The professor says the young ster has regular, almost handsome features, aa uncommon amount of selfishness and a temper that ts a huramer. As an Instance, he mentions an occurrence- whluh took place during his Slay at the Teheran oaurt. A Persian nobleman gave Ahmed MuS and his younger brother, Mohatu med Haasart Mlraa, each a very fine jew elled tarboosh. Tbe presents were exactly alike, and Ahmed Mlrsa was se furious that his brother should have a hat as fine as hla own that he forthwith tore the tarboosh off his brother's head and ripped both tarbooshes ta shreds.

The island eeuld not be restored te Turkish demlnloa without causing an Internal a wall as International commotion and since a defi nite severance front Turkey would have discredited tbe Toung Turks with the Ot toman . nation and, possibly, brought the reform regime to a fall, the powers did the best that could be done under the cir cumstance by re-eetabllshing the joint protectorate. At an Indefinite and prob ably remote future time the Greeks of Crete may be permitted to unit with the Greeks of Hellas or possibly the Ottoman empire will then be so thoroughly re formed that the Cretans may determine to remain in It. me The new self-governing federation now rising put of the ravasjes Ot wax in South Africa hails Louis Botha as the Washing ton of the United eolonjes. In tbe Boer heart General Botha ranks "first in war, first In peAoe," but the third division ef the American sentiment baits for the ver dict ef history.' The Boer leader baa muoh of hla career before him. What he sought to accomplish en many- battlefields a few year age and failed honorably, be has been largely instrumental in gaining by th agenda ot peace. To his wis counael is largely due the heating- of war wounds and the practical union of ih four colonies constituting th federation.. The soure of hi power and Influence, the London Post explains. Is personality, "General Botha knew th Boer from th top of hla slouch hat to th Sol of his hob-nailed boots," He can lead his people a if they were children. The secret Is the Botha personality, He is an Instinctive, irresist ible and Inspired coiinolllatgr. He has never betrayed his people and he has never mis led the British. Both side trust him Implicitly. Yt Integrity alone, unaided by the gifts for reconciliation possessed by the hero of the Boer war, would never have won for hm hi present eminence. Th foundation of hi career Is and ha always been this conciliatory personality. ' eee When th British Parliament enacted a law requiring foreign patentee to estab lish branch factories in Great Britain for th manufacture of the article protected by law, a substantial gain In Industrie was expected. Results so far have not com up to expectations. In fact, th gain ha been Insignificant. But It 'has had the effect of Inducing neighboring nations against whom th law wa directed to adopt protective measuree. A reciprocity treaty affecting patent rights has been arranged between Germany and th United States, by th term of - which patent rlgbta of either country will he recognised in the other without the offensive require ment of nationalised manufacture. This Is In pursuanoe of an understanding reached at the last International patent conference, and la m retaliation on Or eat Britain, who la now seeking to develop it own In dustrie by th "protection" of an offen sive patent law, .

The natural result la that through lack of teohnlcal training eountless thousands fall to acquire that knowledge of handicraft which would en able them to rise to higher levels in skilled employment, while the absence of physical training eventuates In Impaired ' bodily powers and consequent poverty of self- control.
