ILLUSTRATING THE DIFFER
ENCE.
William Renwick Riilell, mem
ber of the High court of Justice
Ontario, in an address before
the Knife and Fork club at Kan
sas City the other night, called
attention to the difference in
practice and proceedure in the
Canadian and United Slate):
Courts. He said:
“What amazes me is the enor
mous length of time it lakes you
lo try a case. 1 have been prac
ticing for thirty years and never
once has it taken more than
thirty minutes to get a jury and
two days lo try the case. Once
in London, Ontario, 1 tried a
murder case, a manslaughter and
two other criminal cases and
twenty-seven civil cases while an
American judge across the line
was getting a jury to try a mur
der case'.”
Canada knows little of the
law’s delays. In criminal trials,
it is rare that more than an hour
is consumed in the selection of
a jury. . Technicalities are not
considered by the courts and at
torneys are not permitted to
spend days and weeks in drag
ging in irrelevant and immater
ial testimony. As a result, the
people of Canada have every con
fidence in their courts.
In the United States the courts
often pay more attention to tech
nicalities than the merits ot the
case and a speedy trial is so rare
I hat it causes comment and at
tention. A revision of our meth
ods of legal procedure and the
adoption of the good features of
♦ he Canadian system would do
much to quiet the popular re
sentment against the judicial1'.
WASTE AND HIGH PRICES
Recent investigations into the
high cost of living and its cause,
in many of the eastern cities,
show that much of the expense
js due to the inadequate terminal
facilities of the railroads at the
big market centers.. Mayor
Oaynor declares that foodstuffs)
valued at millions of dollars are
destroyed every year because of
the cost and inconvenience of
getting the stuff lo the consum
er.
Reports from the. grain grow
ing states show that millions of
bushels of wheat and corn have
been wasted this year because ot
lack of transportation and ware
house facilities. Of course, the
ultimate consumer pays lor all
this waste.
These difficulties ought not to
exist; the waste that arises from
such causes is disgraceful, and
the fault is society’s for failing
to devise means to stop it. The
high cost of living'is bad enough
without adding an economic
crime to make it worsif.
EXPRESS CHARGES COMING
DOWN.
. — —
Announcement is made lhal
I lie express companies will put
in much lower parcel rates, ef
fective with the opening of the
new vear. The reduction, it is
promised, will be such as to meet
competition with the government
charges.
The express companies are nol
lining this out of the goodness oT
I heir hearts, hut because I he par
cels post system of the govci li
me nt threatens to deprive the ex
press companies of much of the
business of which they have long
held a monopoly. The competi
tion doubtless will cause an ex
tension of the free delivery zones
of the express companies and
compel an improvement of their
equipment.
The parcels post is certain lo
result in a competition which will
improve the service to the pub
lic. That alone will make the
experiment and expense worth'
whil“. __

It i - a fact that Valdez beer is a food and not a tonic.
Ask any doctor you know. Valdez beer aids digestion. Use
it a few times with your meals and you’ll find we’re right.
If you drink beer you should use Valdez beer in preference to
others. First, because of its unquestionable high quality.
Second, because it is a home product; brewed in your home
town and all who are interested in the growlli and prosper
ity of Valdez should patroniz home products.
