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.

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.

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

8 or 9 years and not realize how I

tice in these cases must have seemed

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

of jury trials ought to be encouraged, j
because in this way the general ad

facilitated and the expense incident to
delay in litigation can be greatly re
duced." ;
