CAUSE OF THE LAW'S DELAY IS DELAY OF THE LAWYERS When They Serleu3ly Desire a Reform In Court Procedure, That Re form Will Be Made plUKF JL'STlCIl TAFT, who went te Ilnglnnd this summer nominally te study liritlsh methods of expediting the bunlncsn of the courts, probably did net learn much he did net knew before. Illn visit te Kngland was without any doubt intended, net se much te study British legal methods, as te attract publle attention te the need of reform In American methods The news papers throughout the country printed divpatihen from Londen telling about his Interview with the liritlsh legnl authorities and bin approval of their devices te prevent delay. In no ether way could the Chief Justice have brought the subject te the mind of se many persons se effectively. He in aware that nothing will be done unless public sentiment forces it. The subject has been discussed for a gen eration or mere. A few years age Themas learning, of this city, delivered an address before the Law Academy of Philadelphia, In which he explained In detail the Hrltlnh methods and compared them with the method." in vogue here. His address was such a thorough nnd illuminating discussion of the v hole subject that It was printed in t pamphlet for the information of the bar. I It has become almost n legnl classic. Hut our lawyers already knew that the Hritisli lawyers were net permitted te drag a case through the courts for j ears, but that they must co-operate with the Judges in securing utt early d" lsien. They knew that motions were usually heard before n master and were decided en the spot and that the Judges devoted themselves te trjing cases. They knew ;t!e that when the lawjers sought te cover up sent ml evidence the Judges themsehes intervened and put perti nent questions te the witnesses N'ew somebody may ask why nothing has been done te end the law'i delays in the 1'nitcd States. The answer is net far te seek. The lawjers ns a whole hat tmr wanted them ended Their bar assnriatlens Inn e passed rt solutions en the subjeit They have ap pointed committees te revi.se the rules of practice and te suggest was te Increase the power of the Judges. Committee-! have miide elaborate reports nnd suggested changes whPh everybody agrees ought te be made. Hut nothing is ever done. If the members of the liar associations seriously wanted'Me expedite the adminis tration of justice It could have been done long age. The Leglslatuies of the various States would have passed the neceisary laws under pressure and the Congress would have authorized a revision of the procedure In the Fidem! e .rts. Hut se long as certain classes of lawjers can increase their revenues by pro'enging cases they will net be Interested in short -eniu,; them. Motions whlrh dehiv de, .mehs are made and no penalty Is .stiff hi til when these motions i.re denied. Appruls are taken en the slightest pretext and Ji.dges allow the nppeaU. The peer litigant is wearied by the opposing attorneys, who often deliberately set out te tire him our and force h!ni te give up his case In despair There is nothing new in this. Every ob server of court procedure has been uware ui it for jears. Every henct lawyer will admit it. lie can tuke the calendar of the i ieurts and point out case after iase whuh ought te Law been settlfd, but !- ulleiw-i te remain en the lalendar te n rve the in terests of the attorneys v.-he are out for all tin ran make out of their illcntt- This condition cannot continue Indefi nltelv There are a few Judges and a few lnwjcrn who are earnestly seeking te bring it te an end Chief Justice Tuft Is one of them. As he reports "what he learned in England" the newspapers print what be sav- nnd every one Interested reads it. This i means every litigant and everv puMIr- ' sp'rited citizen who Is hoping that the nd- , ministration of iust.ee in a'deruei racy can ' be made re;isenah' effi'ienr Tn the ceirrne of t'me there vv i ' li- a body of lav sen-inn nr whi h will fe""e n, t ion in ( rgrehn I and bv M.e Legislatures in spin, nf the In- different e of mercenary lawyers. The Chief Justice began te show an in terest in a reform of the courts as seen as he was put en the henih. He had u bill drafted increasing the number of Federal Judges because he discovered that the courts were crowded with business which they could net dispose of He has also suggested I the appointment of a lommisslen te revise I the pieient judicial mile in stub a way ns I te cxpedilu business. Ills associates en the Supreme Court hem h nie backing him In his efforts. If they can succeed In persuading Cengiess te iut In iuierdnnce with the rec ommendations made te it, they will hasten the time when the State Legislatures can be forced te act. In the meantime It is within the power of the Judges te cut short much of the delay In litigation. Toe many of them bit tdly en the, bench while the lawjers drug out n case by needless questions, by squabbles with one another nnd by their efforts te prevent the Introduction of relevant tes tes timenv Unit Injuriously affects their case.

Heme one has said that the trouble arises because there Is no permanent body of litigant doing busless in the courts. The EVENING , PUBLIC (LEDGER-PHIIiADEEPHIA, FRIDAY, 'AUGUST 11, . man who has te go te law once decides that he will keep free of it in the future. If he had te go te court every few months he would begin te demand a reform. There may be some basis for this opinion, but there ought te be enough professional pride In the legal profession te make the administration of justice as nearly perfect as possible. A SORAMBLE FO FAVORS CONSIDERATION of the Tariff Hill in the Senate bun degenerated into n scramble of selfish interests for what they can get. The Republlennn are supposed te be com mitted te n policy of protection te Amer ican industries nnd the Democrats are sup posed te favor n tariff for revenue only. Hut neither Republicans nor Demecrnts rtre acting consistently. The vote en the tnriff en hides wds net n party ete. Nine teen Republicans and seven Democrats fa fa veted the tailff nnd twenty-three Republi cans and sixteen Democrat voted te put hides en the free list. The free-list Senators, chief of whom. are Ixulge. of Massachusetts, and Spencer, of Missouri, were from consuming States or from States In which hides are used ns the raw material of large industries. Missouri nnd Massachusetts are the chief shoe manu facturing States of the country. Se the Republicans, Ledge nnd Spencer, favor free hides. Arizona. New Mexico, Wyoming nnd Texas arc cattle-rnislug States, se the Democrats, .Wiu.rst. Jenes, Kendrick and Sheppard. iete for a duty en hides. A tariff for revenue may go hang, se far an these Democratic Senators are cen-cr-ned. when the protection of the cattle men of iheir S'ates is concerned, and n tr. riff for prntei mm of the cattle raisers is net te be ionsuleredfer a moment by Ledge und Spencer when the shoe manufacturers of their States want free hides. Eighteen Democratic Senators have voted nt one time or another during the considera tion of the bill for n protective tariff en the products of their States. In addition te tho6e already mentioned are Hreussard and Rnnsdell, of Louisiana Caraway and Rob inson, of Arkansas ; Harris, of Georgia ! Hefiln, of Alabama; Myers nnd Walsh, of Mentana; l'lttmnu, of Nevada; Swanson, of Virginia, nnd Trammell and Fletcher, of Flerida. Party discipline has broken down com pletely Although the Finnnce Committee leported n duty en hides, Senater Ledge, the acknowledged Republican leader gf the Senate, vetid against the lepert of the com mittee. And long before he turned en the committee a large group of his Republican colleagues had refused te fellow him In the support of ether recommendations of the committee. Tliei ,s no leadership en either lde in the Senate Historic party policies are thrown in the discard by men anxious te save their pelim-al lives by getting special privileges for the industries nf their States. This sort of confusion will continue te exist until an Impartial nnd expert lommln lemmln lommln slen is created te ascertain what duties are needed te protect the industries of the whole. country nnd te report them te Congress. Then every Congressman who demands n heavier rate of ilutv will he put en the de fensive before the bar of public opinion and will have te justify his demand for favors te the Industries of his Stale which will place burdens en the consumers in ether States.

AS ONE WOMAN sJEES IT Yeung Artists, Writers and Directors Are Working for a New Type of Mevie Which Will Put the Business en a Higher Plane Ily SARAH I). LOWUIK WHETHER we shall ewe It te Mr. Will Hnvft or net. the movies have entered Inte another phase of production. Net that it shows yet in the films Hint are being shown or that much of the old sort is net being produced in the studies of the men who have mere or less monopolized the in dustry. But the young men who are new working as underlings for the big pro ducers, the actor-managers who ere tenta tively trying themselves out In screen adap tations of their successful plays, nnd a whole generation of young artists nnd young writers are bending their ambition tewnrd i new type of movie tbnt will take the busi ness out of the class of Industries into that of art. piIE whole school bf acting, from the tears J- of a girl star In her teens te the panting passion nnd facial distortion meant te reg ister nvid desire of the school of the sleek haired youths, would net be tolerated en the first-class legitimate stage of a New Yerk success. . The theory that since you cannot tulk you must mouth, nnd, above all, pant nnd roll the eyeballs In order te be understood has about the same relation te the real art of acting that the pennv dreadful has te "Oliver Twist." Curiously enough, the persons who have discovered this fact nre net the present popular movie screen actors, nor yet the public, but the younger men who are wotk wetk ing nn managers for th producers nnd a new group of producers who are gradually establishing themselves out in California and elsewhere. These men ere experimenting en lighting, en n whole new mechanics of scenery, en the subtle play of muscles and shades of posture and balance of groupings that have until new been far mere the province of the sculptor or the portrait painter than that of the actor. In fact, it is te artists rather than te theatrical men, actors or property experts that the new school of movies is turning for help. THE yeungsiters, male nnd fcmnle, who ere the movie stars have nt best made a study of gesture only from the theatrical standpoint. New, ns a matter of fact, the artist who studies the human body with a chisel or brush in his hnml knows twenty tricks of gesture and a geed titty in pose te the great generality of actors' round dozen. That is because he knows the bedv from the groundwork of imntemy nnd with the memerv of all the classic poses from the dayii of the Greeks te these el the line, ton ten ton gueiMits Indies and supercilious gentlemen of the eighteenth century. Added te this, his own memory sketches of the shade, of mean ing en faces and in bodies from his student days given him n very much mere compre hensive knowledge of what the body does under the stress of human emotion than can be translated into n picture by these who are only learned in the nrt.n of the theatre. The growing dislike of artists te depend en picture exhibitions for their nppreach te tlie public, the present fad against the "easel picture," nnd their pleasure in ex periment rather than in completed studies, make this new way of .experimenting with poses in black nnd white, of lighting, of grouping and, ubevp all, of symbolic ges ture n welcome outlet for their talents. In the opinion of the younger men among the producing ciewd,- It was plain that the expert advice of the artist who painted or. who sculptured was coming into vogue and mere or less challenging the less imagi native, less accurate end mere stereotyped methods of the theatrical crowd, ANOTHER change wns In the photo graphing of scenes. Very perfect and ingeniously correct that Is. lifelike scenes can be made en n scale of one Inch te a feet. These pigmy towns and castles and landscapes can be enlarged te life-sized backgrounds Inte which human figures are introduced by some process of double pho tograph v. The actors go through nil their evolutions en their little strip of stage with only the necessary foreground furniture or ' ether scenery: the backgrounds are sup tilled from ether sources and nt ether times. Of course, for all the freaks of movie stunts, the hairbreadth escapei, the perilous climbs, the falls, the dives, the jumps nnd the collisions, as well as for all the fan tastic illusions such as ghest-wulks and limitations nnd spirit forms, each studio vies with its neighbor in inventing new mechanisms und photographic short cuts. Se thnt net only does the artist, but the scien tific mechanician have an opperunlty te utilize his talents for a growing and for a paying public through the agency of the mere progressive -of the young producers. D is n game where immense sums of money can get u big effect en bread, gen eral lines or where Ingenuity nnd scientific handling can get an ever better effect en a truer-io-llfe basis. Yeu can have the French Revolution staged v. ith thousands of participants and with guillotines going full tilt and rides te rescue ever nnd ttireugh the barriers, net te -.peak of jhe nsBault en the Hastllle and the riot out at Versailles and at the cost of a million dollars, but It does net give you any mere the "feel" of the French Revolution nnd what went before or what rune afterward the real thing than n song sung by Yvctte Gilbert of the farewell of u marquise who gees te the place of execution In the same tumbril with her lever.

Hnrtmun, managing di rector of the Child Federation, who declares the public Is paying "the greater bill for the greater ill" In net providing proper physical training for children during the pre-school period of their lives. "The United States Bureau of Education sets forth In one of its health-education leaflets," says Mr. Hartman. "that the determination is widespread that the public schools of the country must never again in the future, ns in the past, place book learn ing before physical fitnebs. Frank Cedy, superintendent of the Detroit schools, says that the most far-reaching change in educa tion is the new emphasis upon he-1th edu cation. Twenty yenrs age health activities were incidental te the main purpose of the schools. Today they nre the first of our seven ebj'ectlves. Sir Geerge Newman, chief medical officer of the English Beard of Edu cation, says that Mt seems futile te attempt te reform education apart from the physi cal condition of the child.' "Whatever the thought maybe about whet Is edurutien, we l.-ve te admit that the first thing in life 1 H(e. If we are net alive w are dead. If we nre only half alive we ate net properly developing physically, men tally or mernlly. "These facts bear in our educational problems, also en our civic, jilu&trlul and military problems. The labor tmii-ever In industry, a heavy bu 'den in e. penst mid efficiency, is largely due te the fact that our people . re net physically fit. Which In Greater Rill? "Se our schools have a definite task in relation te health, If the money we are spending en them is te be well spent , If we are te get results in educutien ; if we are te turn out from our schools people able te de their work, the work they and the country need; if ignorance, innniipetei ami un natural slethfulnesH nre net te pull us down ; if the 'greater bill for a greater i ' is net te sP our treasury for care of the criminal, Impoverished and Incompetent clones, the schools must build, build in every sense with every child.

And they de content themselves, for they nre long-suffering. But the trouble is that when they de net die, hut grew up in spite of their surroundings, wn nre net con-, tented with them.

They need ma terial, and almost any material which they can use is better than toys. Mechanical tev'.s are nn educational crime.
