AMENDED JURY LAW.

Ohio has grown tired cf ignorance
and criminality On the trial jury,
and the Legislature has had the
courage to make an innovation on
the old system which should be
buried, if for no other reason than
that it has lived too long. The rue
is that a person who knows any
thing of q case, or who has formed
an opinion based upon converse
tons with witnesses or reading re-
ports of their testimony, is incOm-
peteDt to sit as q juror. Everybody
who is Intelligent reads the news
papers, the newspapers necessarily
gather and print all the facts
they can find, and a man
who DOESN'T firm an opinion after
learning the particulars, Is unfiE
TO be entrusted with the response
bility of passing upon any question
involving the rights or liberties of
the meanest OF men. The Ohio law
now declares that "If a juror has
formed or expressed an opinion as
to the guilt or innocence of the &C
cused, the court shall thereupon
proceed to examine such juror on
oath as to the grounds of such opin-
ion, and if the court is satisfied that
such juror will render an impartial
verdict on the evidence, may ad-
NIT him as competent to serve.'
The only people who will fear the
law are the shysters who
acq lit their clients through ignor-
ance or corruption on the jury, and
criminals themselves who are ever
afraid Of honest jurors who are cap
able of thinking. As these are
classes that society is DESTROYS of
itself of, the new law will
have doubly beneficial effect.

W. G. DUNBAR.

1t IS with feeling Of deep regret
that The HERALD announces tina
Mr.. William 9. Dunbar has covered
his connection with this institution
AS the very large maj )rity of oul
friends and patrons are aware Mr.
Dunbar was one of the two founders
of THE HERALD, and his features
form and voice are familiar to the
many thousands Of people in this
and surrounding Territories who
have had business or social relations
with the establishment. For years
with scarcely noticeable exceptions
he has daily been at his post in the
counting room, attending to his
arduous and multifarious duties,
and exercising watchful as
well as fathetly care over
the business and the sore or more
employees. The great financial sue
cess of TIE HERALD is due largely
to bis excellent business qualities
and his habit of neg Getting nothing
requiring his attention. What>
ever The HERALD has been and
is and to whatever proportions il
may grow. it must and will recog-
nize the fact that it owes not only its
existence but much else to the gen
tleman who now retires from active
service in its cause, to pursuits
more in keeping With his advanced
years and rest-desiring inclinations.
During his administration here
boys in the Office have grown to
manhood and young men advanced
to middle life, and they one and all
part with him regretfully, feeling
that they are being separated from
one who ever exercised more than
an employers interest in their well
fare. We all hope that his declin-
ing years will be marred by none Of
the troubles, anxieties and annoy
ances necessarily affecting those
engaged in vast and growing
business as that Of THE HERALD,
and wish that he may enjoy the
quiet and rest to which his long,
hard and faithful service entitIe
him.

vices we wish to say. don't do it,
You may think it fine sport to make
remarks as people pass Oh their way
to church, but rest assured that to
yourselves alone this conduct is
pleasant. You may deem it rare
entertainment to criticize the wear
ing apparel or those who pass, or
fling your insipid and foolish darts
at those who are manned or
crippled, such remarks being
none the less unkind and cut
ting because they come from
ignorance and lack of culture.
That you have been taught better
things makes the offence the
greater. Either go into the church
and listen to the services CT remain
away entirely. Little mistakes of
that kind cling to a young man
through life and tn ugh some, more
foolish than you, applaud your say
ings and heartily enjoy that ridicule
which you direct at another who,
perehance, does not wear clothes in
keeping with your dudish ideas. be
convinced that people of intelli-
gence and influence look upon you
In pity and mentally put you down
as one in whom they could have no
confidence. There is nothing whats
ever to be gained by placing
yourselves on parade at the above
mentioned place every Sunday, and
there is everything to gain which
will detract from that respect which
every young man should have for
himself when he hopes to merit
the esteem of others.

ENCOURAGEMENT TO TALENT.

In reading over an address deliY-
cred at Cornell University by the
president Of that institution, An
drew Dickson White, late minister
to Germany, some thoughts were
there presented so clearly and well
sustained that we can not forbear
reproducing some of them, at least,
and noting their application to con-
ditions arising in our midst, In his
remarks Mr.. White alludes to a
generalization of the great French
historian Gu'z)t In the following
terms:
"As q rule, the evolution of each
Of those great phases of ancient CIV
ilizstion was in obedience to some
dominant principle, to some element
which gained complete mastery, and
developed civilization in subordins-
ton to Itself. He shows how, as a
consequence Of this domination of
ingle element, each of those ancient
civilizations either sank into i'm
mobility, as in Egypt or in India, or
was developed with astonishing
rapidity and brilliancy only to de.
cline and decay just as rapidly, as
in Greece and the commercial COM
munities of the Mediterranean"
AS an example of nation which
has not been governed by any one
principle, he mentions England,
which, though its origin dates back
centuries, time enough in fact fer
other nations, like those of the
Mediterranean in ancient times, to
have been born, to reach the per-
lection OF their development AID
then to decay five times over. Yet,
Notwithstanding all this, England
to-day shows as little evidence of
wear and taer or decay, as it did at
any other period of its existence.
That country seems to have drunk
of that remarkable fountain we
read of in the books of 'olden times,
whose waters possessed the pe>
culiar virtue of endowing those
who partook of it with perennial
youth. But what then, it may be
asked, has been the cause of all
this? Certainly not one dominant

dent, but whether we can apply it
or not may be a d fferent thing.
Other avenues than the one of mere
money making should be opened in
order to induce q more varied ma
tional life, and thus secure higher
degree of national greatness aud a
longer period for its existence. II
anything can be done to make young
people follow more intellec 'ual occu-
pations, it cannot be done too soon.
Many young men start out in life
with a desire to obtain good educa-
ton, for it's own sake; they continue
in their work assIduously until they
grow to the age of manhood, when
they discover that all their efforts
are not likely to profit them at all,
in a worldly point of view, and so
far as repu alton is concerned tn: re
is very little in 1t worth striving for,
when their works are likely to be so
little appreciated. Among ourselves,
here in this Territory, we have the
talent in great abundance to take up
many of the uobler cailings. as We
see evinced In the pieces of sculpture
exhibited here during the last few
days. There are quite a number of
painters by profession and great
many amateurs, whose work
needs encouraging in oder
to bring them out, and
to induce others to follow their ex-
ample. While there is plenty of art
ability, at the same time we are not
wanting in talent for literature, the
sciences, politics, etc., all of which
need equally more fostering care
than they now receive. These re-
marks may seem rather untimely as
we have yet scarcely come out of
our frontier condition. This is GER
tainly true, but still there is large
class in existence who have the
means to devote to something better
than the mere piljng up Of wealth.
They n ay not have the inclination
to pursue any Of the higher walks of
life, yet the least they can do is to
encourage talent wherever an OPP
portunity permits itself. The Guilt
walton of the mind of the public can
not be commenced too soon, and Is
not likely to be carried too far. Let
Us raise our minds, occasion ally at
least. to something more than this
material world, and realize that |
there is something mere to be graft
fed in human nature than the ami
nal part of it.

c.Y,,s,.r AND THE TARIFF.

The tariff is the great question OF the
day. and it may be well to understand
what the powers that be really think
about it. As an original proposition Mr.
Carlisle would advocate a tariff Tor
revenue only" but he has distinctly de-
clared his opposition to any sudden and
radical changes beyond what the pubic
interests demand. But he and nearly all
Democrats are for q final settlement OF
the question on a tariff Tor revenue
and not for free trade on the one hand
nor high prohibitory duties on the other.
The New York Tribune (Rep.) says:
A determined effort is being made to
represent Mr.. Carlisle as a prisoner III
the hauds OF the Pennsylvania prosec-
ZIONIST Democrats. Ii he is, he Is OF the
Tartar kind. who is more easily caught
than brought in. He unqnestionaDiy
will no 20 further nor faster In the
direction of tariff reform than he THINKS
he can 90 and carry his party, or a strong
majority OF it, with him. But he Is OBJ
yiously in earnest on the subject, and he
can and will greatly influence his party.
The old Democratic doctrine was thus
promulgated by President Polk in his
first message:
The precise point in the ascending
scale of duties at which it is ascertained
from experience that the revenue IS
greatest, il the maximum of duty which
can be laid for the bona fde purpose OF
collecting money for the support OF gov
eminent. To raise the duties higher
than that point, and thereby dimin-
ish the amount collected, is to levy them
for protection merely and not for rev.
enue.
The great fiscal Secretary, Robert j,
Walker, said in his report December,
1916:
1t is generally conceded that recipro-
cal free trade among nations would best
advance the interests Of all. Let our
commerce be as free as our political IN
situations. Let us with revenue duties
open our ports to all the world. Agri-
culture is our chief employment; 1T IS
best adapted to our situation, and If not
depressed by the tariff would be most
profitable.
These represent the EXTREMIST views
ever advocated by the Democratic party
"a tariff for revenue only"

SHOULD GIRLS BE WHIPPED

This question has been ~agitating the
minds of the school authorities in San
Francisco considerably. The matter
being referred to a committee, it was dis
cussed at length with this result, that
the rule in regard to corporal punishment
be allowed to stand. So that it will be
left to the will Of the San Francisco
teachers as of yore, whether they apply
the switch or rod to young school misses.
The question whether or not the cor
poral punishment of children is expedient
is not a new one. As far back as the
days of Solomon it had its opponents and
advocates, the sage himself being among
the latter and their chief. His dictum,
''Spare the rod and spoil the child" did
not appeal to every parent or teacher;
that is, his dictum as it is commonly
understood. The wise man never meant
we believe, to prescribe the birch or the
ferule as a universal corrective. 1t is far
more reasonable to presume that, know.
ing humanity so well, his advice was to
resort to corporal punishment when
necessary and when other correctives
fail. That there are cases Of this sort
there is no doubt, but their number is
reduced to the minimum when home or
school government is what it ought to be.
Seneca's opinion, whenever corporal
punishment is inflicted it is y sign of
negligence and Incidence on the part of
the teacher" is an extreme expression,
aud so worded that its import cannot be
paraphrased or misunderstood. Still, to
accept it in the f~ullness of its meaning is
not consistent with reason and expert
ence. There are cases in which the ele-
ment of fear must be employed in school
as well Is in home discipline. The pre-
sumption that all children may be gov
erned entirely by moral force is not fair,
and 10 in conflict with what everybody
has observed Of the widely differing and
difficult traits in the character Of child.
rem. Many children and many teachers
may be selected to whom the rule of love
Is all that 10 needed; but take them
a. you find them in actual human
experience, teachers and children, and
to throw away the strap or switch is to
invite trouble and confusion. Senaca's
idea Of school government is as much
utopian q is Plato's idea Of q republic
both beautiful in theory but utterly
out Of accord with actual humanity.
The best teacher, however. and we be-
lieve the whole story is crystallized in
this, is the one that so controls his pu-
pills ~ to confine the necessity for COR
poral punishment to the very fewest CO.
casions. The same general rule of disci-
pline that holds with reference to boys
holds also with respect to girls. Still
it 10 repugnant to our notions Of the
fair sex to believe that it is ever neces-
sary to punish a girl with a whip, ferule
or strap. There is o sickening sensation
that accompanies the necessity, how
ever, and q man teacher who can't
dodge when the emergency comes that
forces him to in6ict corporal punishment
