EDITORIAL PAGE
ABOLITION OK (iKAXI) JURIES.
The Royal Commission on Delay
in the Law Courts has just made its
report in London. The recommen
datiou which will attract most at
tention iu this country, says the
Cordova Alaskan, is that for the
abolition of the grand jury which is
declared to have outlived its use
fulness.
Originally the grand jury was con
ceived as a protection against royal
oppression and this idea of protec
tion against injustice by the govern
ing power is found in the provision
of the American constitution that
"Xo person shall be held to answer
tor a capital or otherwise infamous
crime unless on a presentment or
indictment of a grand jury." But
now, it Is argued, the inquisition by
sraud jury is largely a perfunctor
affair and the graud jury itself**a
I sort of fifth wheel. On the other
I hand it may be asserted that the
I grand jury, acting as a sieve to sift
cases, might winnow th<* wheat from
the chaff and thereby expedite the
administration of the law, but it is
not always clear that this is thor
oughly considered and cases are
passed on to the courts as the nat
ural course. The suggestion of the
abolition of this time honored ven
erated institution, coming from so
conservative a body as a British
commission, v.-ill no doubt provoke
} a lively jit'cussion in that country
; and this.
Souio of tii© otiier recommenda
lions of the commission are also of
i inte.-est, especially in view of the
1 idea tii t the administration of the
J law in England is so much more
effective. Longer hours for Judges,
la special trial list of cases where
j there is no defense, end the sup
pression of 'ie tendency to yield to
j "fashionable counsel who like to
[spread themselves over a trial for
week", are suggested.
Once in a while an heiress marrie
her father's coachman rr chauffeur.
but Bhe generally gets a divorce
before the astonished hubby has a
chance to clip any of her coupons.
Some men will eat a good meal at
home, of their wives' cooking, and
arise from the table without a word
of praise for the patient little wo
man who did the cooking, yet when
the same fellows get a burnt meal
with cold slop called coffee at a
restaurant they pay the bill cheer
fully and tip the waiter 1 female)
handsomely, and smile nil the time.
A queen bee lavs from two to

how to cross a queen bee with a

to buy an automobile for himself
and all his poor relatives.
Romance will soon be only a
memory in Venice. The gondolier

motor boats will soon be placed on

Porto Rico's Highest Point.
The little island of Porto Itfco has
one peak, according to the I nited
States geological survey, which Is 3.032
feet in height. This is the highest
point in the Luquiilo mountains, the
crest of Porto Ilieo.
True to Her Training.
"Where was the new star discov
ered"'" asked one dramatic critic of r.n
other.
"In a laundry." was the reply.
"Ah. well, she can't forget her old
calling. She's mangling the part."
Handles pped.
"Dachshunds are hard to raise."
"Why so?"
"I figure It thi:; way. If one gets
sick he's liable to die before you can
get the medicine from his month to Li-.
stomach."—Louisville Courier-Journal.
Milton's Affliction.
"Willie," said the teacher, "can you
tell me how the poet Milton was nf
flioted?"
"Yes. ma'aui." was the reply. "He
was afflicted with a mania for writing
poetry."—Chicago News.
Good Catch.
"The doctor doesn't like my symp
toms.''
'Then why don't you have sonic*
symptoms that will please liim, Grace':
Fie Is rich and very handsome."—Pitts
burgh Post.
A Common Experience.
"Did you see where n man some
where was held up by two women?"
"That's nothing. I was held up ouee
by one woman and was helpless in her
hands."
"Gracious me! When did that hap
pen ?"
"When I had a nurse."—Haltiuiore
American.
He Ducked.
, "Then you have explained to your
fiance that you will bring no dowry?"
"Certainly."
"What did he say to that?"
"He swore that It was a matter of
Indifference to him."
"And how has he conducted himself
since then?"
"I don't know. He has never come
back."—Chicago News.
POWER OF VIRTUE.
The moral cement of society is
virtue. It unites and preser/es,
while vice separates and destroys.
The good may weli be termed the
salt of the earth, for where there is
no integrity there can be no confi
dence, and where there is no con
fidence there can be no unanimity.
