AMERICA'S JUDICIAL SYSTEMS.
'DESCRIBED BY JUDGE PURDY."
Judge Milton D. Purdy, Judge of the United States Court for China, delivered a lecture at Shanghai last week, being the first of a series organised by the Y.M.C.A. on "The Courts of the Nations. Judge Purdy dealt with the court system of the United States
The chair was taken by Dr. H. C. Mei who, in his introductory remarks, spoko

If you give the Philippine Islands their independence you will be at the mercy of the native government.
He urged Congress "to remove those laws in the Philippine Islands that are Judge Purdy sketched the condition of barriers to investments," and to provide affairs at the time of the American Reprotection for capital in the Philippines volution and pointed out how the dira system in existence prior to that time was continued under the republic,
The adoption, be said, inter alia, of the constitution operated materially to modify the judicial system as it had there- tofore existed in the United States of America. The States, or former colonies, which, united in the formation of this new government of outs, were anxious to retain their respective sovereign rights as far as possible, consistent with an effective national government, and our Federal Constitution thereby became in
He reported that the investigations in Mindanao by bis company had found that the soil and climate were excellent for rubber growing, but that the native government was apathetic to any rubber' project.

mately 200,000 tons yearly was the goal pf the company's.. Liberia projects, and that the maximum production was enough to boost materially the supply in the United States and prevent foreign price. control.
Out of this situation arose our so-called dual system of government so that to-day we have 48 sovereign states combinet under a federation known as the United States of America. Each of these states has its separate State Government with state constitutions and exccutive legisla tive and judicial departments, much after the pattern of the National Government.. We, therefore, have in America ays tem of courts which is unique, and prob- ably different from that of any other government in the world. We have two great court systems operating in each and every state in the Union, ono known as the state judicial system, and the other known as the federal judicial system, and each of these systems is just as separate and independent, the one from the other, as though the other did not exist. Each system is of necessity a system of limited jurisdiction. The federal courts have. power in all cases in law and equity aris. ing out of the constitution of the laws of the United States and the treaties which shall be made under authority of the United States.
COURAGE ALONE NEEDED.,
John W. Haussermann, vice-president of the American Chamber of Commerce York on January 15th, urged capital to of the Philippices, in a speech in New
invest in rubber planting in the Philip pine Islands. He pointed out that the land and climate were favourable and that all that was needed was courage on the part of Americans interested in the rubber industry. Continuing, Mr. Hans- serman said: Americas tenure in the Philippines is the greatest stabilizing in- fuence for law and order in the Far East, Remove the American ang from the Philippines and the balance of power in' the Far East would be upset and disaster was likely to, materialize.”

Now, on the other hand, each one of these various 48 states of the Union have by virtue of their constitution & judicial system in each of these states, and thes 45 judicial systems may differ in some respecta, according to the constitutions of the state under which they are estab lished. These state courts, it must be remembered, are supreme in their parti cular province, and co-existing with these state courts are the federal courts of the United States which are supreme in mat- ters committed, in their jurisdiction. We have seen how these courts came into existence, because upon the formation CE the Federal Union, the individual states i were not willing to surrender -- forthen National Government all their power They insisted upon remaining tovereign states, and in so doing they were com pelled to set up all the different instruederi mentalities for the government of u sovereign state:
The National Government, because it had received from the states express delegated-powers eresting it a sovereig nation among all the other antions of the world, was required under the constitu tion to set up all the machinery neces sary for the government of a great nation. We are how in a position to consider concretely these two great systems of courts, both State and Federal, which are in existence in America to-day, and have been since the inception of out gorASD- ment.
It may be observed in pausing that perhaps no other people in the history of the world were presented with such situation as was presented to the Ameri can people at the time of the adoption of the constitution, and we, therefore, do not find in any nation of the world Similar judicial institutions wherein cer tain controversies of the citizen, can be settled in a stato tribunal, while certain other controversies can only be eattled in: I's federal court *
