? Discussing the subject of judicial reform at St. Louis last Saturday night, President Taft said: "One of the real reasons for discontent is the character of the procedure and the administration of justice in our courts. I believe that the states of this country and the young lawyers of this country should devote their attention to a constant discussion and pressure upon the legislatures for cutting short judicial procedure and expediting justice. It is the one thing in my judgment that is more easily reached and more needed under our government than any other. Trial by jury is a good thing. It brings into the administration of justice the people, and in / a popular government the people feel safer in that they are called in to determine issues of important facts, but trial by Jury, my friends, as stated in n?aa o trio] hv illfV C\f inc t-uiioiuuiiuu, nao ? ? ?u? the facts under the inspiration of a judge, who had the power to tell the jury what the law was, and had the power to hold the court room under his control and not let It be taken away by the counsel for the prosecution, or the counsel for the defense. And yet the suspicion by the people of the judges has been such, the movement of all legislation from the Atlantic westward, has been to take away from the judges the power they had under the English system that we have copied and the system that we put into our constitution. If a Judge is not frightened by anybody and will carry on a court as his court, then you will have your administration of justice as it is in England. The tendency of legislation ought to be toward giving the judges more power and then making the judges responsible. There is no difficulty about making the judges responsible either. I know it is proposed to make a short cut, and cut his head off without any reason, just because the people wish it, under the theory of a judicial recall. I agree that the movement has foundation in the basis which I have stated, namely, that the courts have not fulfilled the function that they ought to fulfill, but I do not agree that therefore you ought to kill the court, and that is what I think you are doing if you make every tenure of office dependent on an election. Gentlemen, that won't do. Make your judges responsible. Impeach them. Impeachment of a judge would . be a very healthful thing In these times. I have known instances in congress where there was ground for iml>eachment that ought to have been carried through, nut on inquiry i iuuhu that the difficulties between the memhers of congress and the judge had been settled by compromises, the thing had passed away. It is not necessary that we should have an Impeachment by the legislature, that is a clumsy method, as it is. We can have some other method of investigating the qualifications of judges, and, if they don't fill the measure, to remove them. Have some sort of judicial hearing in which the facts shall be considered." ? The initiative and referendum probably will be the subject of a decision with far reaching consequences ?by the supreme court of the United States during the approaching term. The question of the constitutionality of the expedients of government forms the basis of a suit between the state of Oregon, where they are in use, and the Pacific State Telegraph and Telephone company. As the case is near the head of the docket, it will be reached in time to insure a decision before the end of the term. The case originated in the company's challenge of a law enacted by the Oregon legislature under the initiative plan, by which a tax of 2 per cent was placed upon the gross earnings of telegraph and telephone companies. Taking the position that the initiative and referendum, which are coupled in the Oregon law, are against the Republican form of government guaranteed by the constitution of the United States, the company refused for four years to pay the assessments. The state thereupon brought suit. There was a fight to a finish in the trial court, but the decision was favorable to the law. A like conclusion was reached by the supreme court of the statu, and the company, still dissatisfied, carried the case to the highest tribunal on a writ of error. Much attention is already being given to the case because of its great importance. As the constitutionality of the law is squarely presented it will be incumbent upon the court to deal primarily with the fundamental principles involved in a system which is coming into vogue in many states. It is estimated that 8,000,000 or 9,000,000 persons will be affected by the result. If not too long .delayed the court's decision will meet a demand of congress where the question will receive much attention during the coming session. ? A Seward, Alaska, cable says that James J. Jeffries, the ex-prize fighter, lost another goat there this week. Before going north, Jeffries boasted that he wanted to see the bear that would not run. While camped at the mouth of Kelley river the ex-champion took his fishing rod to get a mess of trout for supper. Fishing was fine, but good looking holes just beyond took him further and further from camp. Just as the basket was full Jeffries saw what he had wanted. Bruin was fishing also but having hard luck. Jeff had been used to looking along his rifle at little black bears in California weighing 400 pounds, but here was a man's size brown bear that would drop the scales at 1,800. Jeffries waved his arms and yelled. Brownie raised up to his full height and curling back his upper lip disclosed eight pounds of ivory as he growled. Jeffries is said to have run two miles to camp. Federal regulations forbid the shooting of brown bears. AT THE CHURCHES. PRESBYTERIAN. The meeting will continue at 10 a. m. and 8 p. ni., through Wednesday evening, which will be. the closing service. METHODIST. Prayer meeting on Thursday evening at 8 o'clock. Special Doilies.

Yorkville Enquirer. 72 f.t 5t Orphanage Work Day. For the last few years the various Orphanages of the state have united in asking the good people of the state to give the proceeds of one day's labor to the orphans. The last Saturday in September has been set apart as "Work Day," and all, both grown people and children, who feel interested in helping orphans are asked to give that day's labor or income to the Orolianaae of their choice. There are about 250 orphans at Thornwell Orphanage, (Presbyterian) Clinton; almost as many at Connie Maxwell. (Baptist), Greenwood; 225 at Epworth Orphanage, (Methodist), Columbia; 90 at the Church Home Orphanage, (Episcopal), Yorkville. These orphan children are being clothed, fed and educated entirely bv the gifts of the people, and it is earnestly hoped that a liberal response will be made to this appeal. I>et none fail to send the wages or income of one day's labor to the orphanage of his choice. Make remittances by check. P.
