IS THE LAW A FAILURE?
Does it sound sensational to de
clare that American law. to a very
large extent, makes for injustice?
The facts are as sensational as the
wound. The-AmerLpan Bar Associa-

mar the |>teasure of the occasion.
At the conclusion of the morning
program a delightful dinner was

Pale-Faced Women
You ladies, who have pale faces, sallow complexions,
dark circles under eyes, drawn features and tired, worn-
out expressions, you need a tonic.
The tonic you need is Cardui, the woman’s tonic.
It is the best tonic for women, because its ingredients
are specifically adapted for women’s needs. They act on
the womanly organs and help to give needed strength and
vitality to the worn-out womanly frame.
Cardui is a vegetable medicine. It contains no min
erals, no iron, no potassium, no lime, no glycerin, no dan
gerous, or habit-forming drugs of any kind.
It is perfectly harmless and safe, for young and old to use.

The Woman’s Tonic
“After my doctor had done all he said he could for me,"
writes Mrs. Wm. Hilliard, of Mountainburg, Ark., “I took Car
dui, on the advice of a friend, and it helped me so much.
Before taking Cardui, I had suffered from female
troubles for five years, but since taking it, I am in good health.
Ldhink there is some of the best advice in your book
that I ever saw.” Your druggist sells Cardui. fry it

tion has admitted it; leading judges
have admitted it; and President Taft
once framed a pointed amendment
that rib*j’jdgment. civil or criminal,
should be set aside unless it appeared
affirmatively that the error of the
complaint had resulted in miscar
riage (rf justice. Americans often
mourn about lynch law. Nor al
ways do they take into account the
part played by the law’s delay in en
couraging rough attempts at justice.
In England procedure is swift, and
punishment follows with certainty.
For g-venty-five years, in England,
Ireland. Scotland, ar d the British
Colonies all over the world, there
has not been one case of lynching.
We have recently pointed out that
the lawyers succeeded in beating
simplification in Montana. In an ad
mirable article in the ,,Kansas City
Bar Monthly” for March, Professor
John I). Lawson, of the L’niversity
of Mis-ouri. recalls the tact thit
when the Missouri Legislature passed
a law simplifying procedure the Su
preme Court of that State upset it.
Judge Lawson believes that our civil
procedure is immeasurably behind
the age. and that in criminal proce
dure we have not advanced a step
since the days of Queen Elizabeth.
Judge Amidon, of the Federal bench,
has stated that if a man has the
means to keep the fight he can, in a
majority of cases, escape punishment
for crime. As our rules are now,
the main concern is not a search for
truth. Lawyers struggle to get
errors into the record, w itnesses are
bullied, and judges are afraid.
Those complicated technicalities,
which the English Judges invented
long ago to protect the individual
from cruelty and oppression, have
been retained and exaggerated by
us. The English threw them away
when the days of cruelty and oppres
sion were at an end. An indictment
in England now states, in perhaps
forty words of utmost simplicity,
that a certain crime was committed
by a certain person. We fill pages
of foolscap with most ridiculous lan
guage, and these up^etci nvictions if
s »me one of the unnecessary words
can be strained into a failure to ob
serve some minor rule. The convic
tion of s man for murder is upset
because the foreman of the jury
spelled first “fust.” Another con
viction for murder is upset because
the indictment charged that the
victim died instantly, instead of then
and there; another, because breast
was spelled without the ”a”; anoth
er. because the record failed to state
the fact that the prisoner was pres
ent at his own trial, although the
Court could readily have determined
that he was. These things truly
sound incredible. We need a Jere
my Bentham to goad us into making
legal justice a reality. We need a
novelist to do what Dickens did in
“Bleak House.” or what Goldsmith
did in "A Citizen of the World.” We
need a John Wesley to point out that
our attempts at justice would have
brought discredit on any court of
centuries ago in Greece or Rome.—
