CAN'T OFFEND BUSINESS MEN Bryan Replies to Circulars Issued by Manufacturers' Association. LINCOLN, Aug. 6.-W. J. Bryan today issued a statement replying to the circulars issued some weeks ago by the National Association of Man ufacturers and signed by James W. Van Cleave. Bryan declares the pamphlet raises two questions: 1st, Is there anything in the labor plank of the democratic platform to which business men can take exception? 2nd, Is the labor question so import ant to business men as to justify them in ignoring all other issues? Bryan says that the t provision in the democratic platform for the creation of a labor department with cabinet officer at its head cannot pos sibly offend the business men.

This, he said, is the basis of pros perity for when the farmers can sell crops they will be in the market to buy and thus help the merchant and ! the manufacturer. He discussed the railroad conditions but said little or nothing additional to the other state ments given out during the past few days. WILL MOURNE AIRSHIP. HOT SPRINGS, Aug. 6.-Therc is no reservation in the Southern hospi tality accorded to William H. Taft by the Virginia State Bar Association today on the occasion of his nddres on "Law's Delay." His presence and introductory and pleasantries were applauded by an audience representative of the social life of the Old Dominion and the bur den of his speech met the "expressed approval of the lawyers present. At the conclusion Taft was surrounded by members of the audiences who presented themselves for personal acquaintance. At the banquet tonight which brought the meeting of he as sociation to a close, Taft responded to the toast of "The President." To morrow Judge and Mrs. Taft and a party Vill be driven to the Green Riv er Hot Springs to attend a horse fair. , Judge Taft presented his subject by stating that the end sought in the administration of justice was to pro mote tranquility and contemptment among the people. It had he said long been established that the su preme court of the fjnited States was the ultimate arbitrator of the great political and legal issues, deciding upon the limitation of both the legi lative and executive branches of gov ernment which had carried the use fulness of the courts beyond any thing attempted in other countries. Notwithstanding this desirable situa tion, Mr. Taft expressed a doubt that our present administration of justice insured general popular satisfaction with its results. "There are," he said, "abundant evi dences that the prosecution of crim inals have not been certain and thor ough to the point of preventing popu lar protest. The existence of lynch ing in all parts of the country is di rectly traceable to this lack of uni formity and thoroughness in the en forcement of our criminal laws. "The present is a time when all our institutions are being subjected to a close scrutiny with a view of a de termination what we have not tried the institutions upon which modern society rest to the point of proving that some of them sliould be radically changed. The chief attack is on the institution of private property which is based upon the inequalities of the distribution of wealth and human happiness that are apparent in our present system.

The im migrants for Victoria was the small est landed here for years, 13 in all. The Tosa Maru lost by two days in a race with the Monteague with silk Owing to the boycott organized in South China against Japan there were no Chinese passengers and but little freight from China, the steamer was one-third full. News was brought by the steamer of the murder of two Hong Kong en gineers, M. Fearby and M.

Both men had been working the pipes before going into Tonkin. Count Okuma has been attacking the new Katsura Cabinet according to advices received by the Maru. ALBANY, Or., Aug. 6 The C.

One. remedy, Mr. Taft said, must be reformed in our judicial procecd- ure which is now too cumbersome. Another would be more expedition on the part of judges in rendering their opinion. Delay he said always worked to the detriment of the poor and benefit of the wealthy litigant. As to appeals Mr. Taft gives that question the court of first instance and the intermediate appellate courts should be for the purpose of finally disposing in a just and prompt way of contentions be tween litigants, The Appellate juris diction of the court of last resort should be limited to those cases which are typical and which give to it in its judgment an opportunity to cover the whole field of the law. I believe that a great reform might iu Massachusetts. No one can have sat on a federal bench as I did for 8 or 9 years and not realize how I defective the administration of ius-' tice in these cases must have seemed to the defeated plaintiffs, whether he was the legless or armless employe himself or his personal representa tive." . As to the jury system, Mr. Taftj said: , j "We cannot, of course, dispense j wfth the jury system. It is that) which makes the people a part of j the administration of justice but cv-j cry means by which in civil cases liti-j gants may be induced voluntarily to-j avoid the expense, delay and burden ; of jury trials ought to be encouraged, j because in this way the general ad ministration of justice can be greatly facilitated and the expense incident to delay in litigation can be greatly re duced." ; Mr. Taft closed idth a tribute to cautioned courts and I think too in the state, that conservatism ought not to be be effected certainly in the federal! the legal profession and uourts, by a mandatory reduction of the court costs and fees. The salaries of the court officers should be fixed and should be paid out of the treas ury of the county, state or national government as the case may be, and fees should be reduced to as low a figure as possible. I think another 'step in the direction of the despatch of litigation would be HOBOS BUSY AT HUNTINGTON fect, is not so far from proper results tion-in inequality of our justice may ' . as to call for anxiety.
