BREWER GIVES
SOME OPINIONS
t NEW YORK. Feb. 1. Tbe cost of
litigation, delays in . admnisterlng
tbe law, tba uumber of : appeals and
tbe current criticism of tbe courts
are tbe themes discussed .by Justiae
Brewer of the United State's Supreme
court in an interview made public
here today. .
In addition to a sharp criticism of
the preseut laws and tbeit enforce
ment, Justice Brewer adverted to
tbe growing problem of public owner
ship of partly public enterprises, de
claring that tbere is. every reason
why communities tbat can ooutrol
tbe capital should own, direct and re
ceive all the benefits -derived from
water, lighting, transit and telephone
compauies. " '
In bis discussion of the law Justice
Brewer said: ' "
''The seat of the whole, trouble, io
my opinion, is in the fact that to
many appeals "re granted... wbeo jus
tice does nut demand It. A simple
way to put it ia to say that our courts
trifle with justice by permitting de
lay after delay upon mere teohuioali
ties. I propose tbat tbe states enact
laws that will permit of but one ap
peal after tbe trial judge. The laws
of many states are aucb tbat a judge
is but little more. tban a moderator."
1 Justice Brewer added that be would
make one exception to tbe "one ap
peal" plan, that where a serious con
stitutional question waa Involved.
Tbe Justice oouttnued by saying
that be favored tbe pnlioy of a few
lawyers who- aided tbe' eourt In ex
pediting oases lie declared that
tbe great majority of lawyers seemed
to feel that tbey were not living up
to tbeir profession if 'they did not

Professor C. B. Buffum, of Worlaod,

already practically doubled tbe yield
of corn by selection and breed
ing," said Professor Buffum yester

corn, as we caa deal with all other
crops in a similar nay. Tbe reason
that this has not beeu done earlier
Is tbat olaot breedios hae been uti
lized heretofore mainly for tbe pro

brougbt out any thing were 'wiz
