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

in 1876 democracy meant decency."
How did all this come to be left out of
the Denver platform?

When th British Parliament enacted a

ha been Insignificant. But It 'has had
