FLOATING COURTS
For two years past there has been
?een In Alaska a novel experiment, a
floating court held on board a steam
ship. which plies from port to port
and at each port tries what cases maj]
be at -issue. This year the voyage of
the court lasted eigh. weeks, during
which time a large number of cases
wwe disposed of. The court has gone
to the place of trial instead of hav
ing witnesses, jurors and prisoners
brought before the court at Its reg
ular place of sitting.
Last year the experiment resulted
in saving court epenses to the
amount of IS.OOO, while this year the
saving has been even greater. The
experiment has come to stay.
The Alaska plan, save that in in
stances the court has been actually
held on shipboard, is similar to the
old methods In the earlier days of
the newer states of courts traveling
circuits; a system imported from
Great Britain, where it still survives
The cuort and the members of the
bar traveled from one county seat to
another, trying cases at each. One
Judge was enabled to dispose of an
extraordinary amount of business in
this manner. It was the custom in
Washington, for example, down to
the date of statehood.
It is particularly adapted to Alaska,
that country of magnificent distances
and relatively poor transportation
facilities. It is rendered easy of ap
plication there because of the fact
that a revenue cutter is placed at the
disposition of the court, which is thus
relieved from its dependence upon
commercial lines of transportation,
obviating long delays after the work
Is concluded at one place before be
ing enabled to embark for another.
It results not only in a large saving
to the government, but it must oper
ate to an even larger saving to pri
vate litigants, who are much less able
to afford the loss of time and money
which would result from spending
week^in going to the places where
court is held. ? Seattle P.-I.
WHY NOT A TRIAL?
Why not give reciprocity a trial,
at least? Approval now does not ne
cessarily moan the adoption of a per
manent policy. A law passed at the
next session putting reciprocity in
force can be repealed at any subse
quent session. Another election must
of necessity be held in a very short
time, probably within two years, and
if reciprocity does not in the mean
time meet with the approval of our
people , they can say so at the polls.
The proof of the pudding is in the
eating. Let us try a taste of the rec
iprocity pie for a couple of years any
how. ? Toronto Weekly Sun.
The snow appearing on the moun
tain tops in Alaska is like the sign
in the States when the frost is on
the pumpkin ? and we wonder what
we have done with our summer's
wages.
Redding. Cal., deposited $622.10 in
its postal savings bank the first day.
A reporter had the honor of being th
first depositor. We guess he put in
the 10 cents. ? Denver Post.
Wonder whether the parcels post
service which Postmaster General
Hitchcock contemplates will take care
of all the Saturday night packages.
President Taft will start tomorrow
to give a practical demonstration to
the American people of the "see-your
own-country-first- movement.
Apparently there is no let-up for
Alaska. Just as it was thinking it
might get rid of the Guggenhelms.
it caught smallpox. ? Ex.
An "aviation cocktail" is the latest.
Probably because it makes those who
take it go up in the air.
