E. w. Jones, better known az
Bert, of the WORLD office, departed
from these parts on the glorious
Fourth, to blow his toot. horn at the
Banner ball. He held up his left
hand and swore solemn swear he
"return on the 10th inst, if not soon
er or later" He is still conspicuous
for his goneness. BY goneness we
mean he is not here-not gone IN the
usual meaning of the word. We can
receive nothing strictly reliable OF
definite in regard to his whereabouts
or future intentions. We are com
pletely puzzled, Dame Rumor CIV
ing SO many accounts of where he
is, what he is doing, what he expects
to do and how long he will be doing
it, when he is coming home, where
he expects to go before he comes if
he ever comes, about his locating a
bonanza, ranch, &C., &C., blowing
up trout with giant powder, extermi-
mating the huckleberry crop, staying
deer, bear, elk, grouse, fool chickens,
pine squirrels, snipe and other big
game, contrary to law IN such cases
made and provided for their protec-
ton, which he did without hesitancy
or due consideration of legal conse-
quences, and with generalization and
malice aforethunk and a gun, and
with no justification or extenuating
circumstances whatsoever to shield
him from the direful vengeance of
ruthlessly outraged law. On the heels
of the above come rumors that he has
gained one hundred and seven pounds
and is bankrupting the boarding
houses in Banner. What is his gain
is the boarding house keepers loss;
that he has been making trouble be-
tween the fellows and their girls, in
Banner, by knocking their ears off
the fellows ears and skipped off to
Payette to avoid consequences and
give the said auriculars time to grow
on again. AS we said before, so
many rumors reach US that we are
impelled to advertise for authentic in
formation. We hear he is coming
home "when the robbins nest again.
then that he is coming in the sweet
bye and bye; again that he will be
here when he comes back, and yet
again that he's been heard singing
this song, with gay refrain, which
runs, as near as we can remember, in
the following strain:
No more type will set;
A rancher I'll be, you bet!
And will pass the time away
Raising pumpkins, spuds and hay.
A granger gay II be,
And breathe the air so free;
No mcre galley" slave to be.
Mere more will the click
OF the type in the stick
Make measured music in my ear
From such mo-not-o-nee
Let me be forever free.
My rhythmic racket do you hear?
The cabbage l will NOW;
Dig hay with IA two-edged hoe.
And pumpkins with derrick raise.
I'll learn all the grangei's ways;

THE ''hoary with-age," "handed-
down-by- our ancestors" etc. jury sys-
ten was not sufficiently respected by
the enlightened thought and ad-
vanced ideas of the Constitutional
Convention to hold its own, in its re-
quirement of unanimity, against lnno-
vations for improvement. They did
not reverence hoary age and the bosh
of the forefather- hand-down argu-
ment so much as the improvement of
antiquated defects that seek to per-
perpetuate themselves on the sole
ground Of extreme old age. On the
18th, after many warm debates, the
convention, by large majority,
adopted the recommendation of the
Committee on Bill of Rights that in
civil cases an agreement of nine men
of jury of twelve shall be sufficient
to find a verdict. Claggett was the
leader in this reform movement.

IT is not likely that the Consttu-
tional Convention will take favorable
action on the woman suffrage or pro-
hibitlon questions, even should ma
jority be favorable to universal suff-
rage and the downing of King Alco-
hol. 1t would defeat the adoption of
the constitution when submitted to a
vote of the people. A certain per
cent. would be opposed TO either of
these reforms, and these, with the
kickers who are opposed to Statehood
on general principles" would defeat
the entire work of the convention.
These are questions that will undoubt-
edly be left for future legislation.

ON THE ANXIOUS BENCH.
applicants for License Eager for an Early
Session.

Session.
People who propose to apply for license 70
sell liquor next spring are much interested
in the question as to whether the License
Court shall begin work month earlier or
at the time previously fixed. Should the
session begin earller it would throw the
question of granting license to the Judges Oh
Common Pleas Court No. 1, as the session
would be thrown back into the December
term.
The rather invidious suggestion has been
put af1oat that Judges Ewing and w niue,
as they NAV soon come before the people Ior
reelection, might be willing to allow tne
license business to go into No. i, as the re-
lection of applicants is not always calculates
TO make political strength, and that the
Judges in Common Pleas No. are practi-
caIly at distance from the voter at present.
This. however is not an elevated platform
from which to view the subject. Doubt
less all the Judges regard 1t as
disagreeable duty. Judge stowe hNs
frequently expressed himself polntedIy on
the disposition of the Legislature to make
clerks of Judges, by giving them work sncn
as the supervising and counting OF electlon
returns, ETC., work in which the Judlclal
function has small part
1t is likely that the matter OF nearing
license applications will be decided by an
six Judges 1t is held by some that the
Judges in No. chad power to hx the matter
to suit themselves at the September term,
but Judge White in his utteranees some
weeks ago did not talk that way.
