He urged that most cases in the trial courts be disposed of at the end of arguments. Justice McReynolds in urging the judges to become greater affirmative forces in the enforcement of the law, said delays in eonrt frequently robbed cases of the fruits of the decision. As Attorney-General the Justice said, be started out with the idea that he would conduct the, government's business as that of al private clinet. He soon found hoi was mistaken, he declared, and was ^convinced that the thing to do wis to give the public a fair idea of ^hat he intended to do and a Judfcious notion of what success was being attained as he proceeded. In some way, he added, the judges give to the people an idea of what they are seeking to accomplish and hoy they are succeeding. iu some aucn way we turner! the tide of opposition to the judiciary of the last 10 years," he concluded, "and find ourselves once more entrenched in the confidence of the people."

TAFT ALSO MAKES SPEECH Other Men Who Are Xntinnul l<egal Figures Mae Talks at Washington Convention. Washington, Oct. 20.?Improvement of the law to stein the present tide of popular criticism was the keynote of the first day's session of the American Bar Association here. President Wilson pleaded for the humanizing of the law, for incorporation of more justice and less citation in legal cases. Former President raft speaking to the judges of the country gathered for the first time in the history of the country in formal meetings, emphasized the necessity for removing delays in litigations. Associated Justiiee MeReynolds of the Suprme Court urged the judges to give more attentions to public opinion. At tonight's session of the Bar Assocation proper Senator Ellhu Root, in speaking of "The Laymen'? Criticism of the Lawyer," suggested lawyers should apply the rules of evidence with more regard to common sense, and might well avail themselves of expert assistance. The day's program was concluded tonight with a reception in the PanAmerican building at whicji Chief Justice White and Associate Justices of the Supreme Court were hosts. Reports of committees and a pilgrimage to Mount Vernon will feature tomorrow's program. Before the judicial session former President Taft in his second speech of the day, said he felt at home, although there had been an "intervening purgatory" since he himself was a Judge.

He added that the I ! unsettled world conditions made a Rood time for freeing the law from the dry consideration of ?ol<1 pre e dents and injecting into it more of the viewpoint of justict lor the ordinary man. ."We stand now in a peculiar case" the President continued. "Our lirsl thought, I suppose, as lawyers is of l international law. We know that wo see In International law, as it were, the moral processes by which law itself came into existence. I knowtliat as a lawyer I have myself at times felt that there was no real comparsion between the law of a Na tion and the law of Nations, because i the latter lacked the sanction that i gave the former strength and validly. And yet if you look into the matter more closely you will find i that the two have the same foundations and that those foundations are more evident and conspicuous in our , day than they ever have been before. | The opinion of the world is the misj tress of the world and the processes I of international law and the slow 1 processes by which opinion works its will. 1 "What impresses me is the con- J . stunt thought that that is the tribu- 8 1 nal at the bar of which we all sit.
