An exchange say: captain Jack
Haynes, who served in three wars and
who is now 1913 years of age, has been
made member of Frank p. Blair
post, G.. A. r., of st. Louis, and is
doubtless the Oldest member OF the
organization. He was in the war of
1912 and the Mexican war, and during
the late unpleasantness, when over 20,
was the engineer on gunbOat on the
Mississippi" But just think of man
living 1913 years in this country with a
record of three wars and not gettin 6
higher title than captain. Even if
he had been only private in the army
he should have been at least a lieuten-
ant-general, also Judge, governor and
professor. His escape from titles
shows that he has been lucky in civil
life as well as in war.

The Jury System

Post IntelIgencer: The jury, in crtmi-
nal more than in civil cases, is absurd and
ind Sensible. 1t serves no useful purpose,
and in the majority of cases works posi-
tive harm, In these days every intelli-
gent man has read the story of the muir
der before the trial comes of, and has
formed some opinion. According to our
law he cannot sit in the jury under such
circumstances, and so none but the worst
element of the community is left from
which to draw the Jurors. The jurors are
naturally averse to bringing about the
death of human being, and they there
fore give the accused the benefit OF the
Sigh test doubt.
The jury system should be abolished
and criminal trials should be before the
Judge alone, who should decide both the
law and the facts. In cases Of capita
crimes, where the gravity OF the case is
such that the decision should not rest
with one man, there should be two Oh
three judges sitting, and majority
should decide.

A Scrap

WhatcOm Express: Tuesday evening
about o'clock John DeTiere, the editor
of this paper, was in the Office of X.
Chetham, agent for the Northern Pacific
railroad, when M. Muir Plcken, the red
whiskered poet, came into the room
brandishing heavy cane. The poet
did mt walk up and ask for ticket
for Anacortes, but without word
rushed at DeTiere, aiming the heavy
cane at his head. The Express, with
its usual promptness, had the first man on
the scene The editor lodged the vicious
blow aimed at his head and received 1t on
the shoulder instead. The wind created
by this time had blown the poets strag-
Cling red whiskers into his eyes, temper
arily binding the infuriated Scotch bard;
The editor took advantage OF 1t, and
plunged his left on the muser's cheek.
Whether Picken turned his right cheek
to the editor in obedience to bible doc
trne, the effect of the blow or circum-
stances, our reporter cannot say, but the
| right cheek hove in sight and was pias-
tered by five fingers, punched up FOR the
occasion by the smiling editor. Mr..
| Chetham took a hand at this stage of the
game, saying that he wanted to know
| what share of the gate receipts he was to
| have. and attempted to argue the point
with the loving couple, who were locked
in each others embrace. In the discus
| sion the cane haQ lalleQ 10 Tue UOOF, Tue
poet attempted to get it, the Express
| spurted and, as usual, reached it first and
ended the row by just raising cane. The
cops reached the scene and started
the scribe and poet for an interview with
the marshal. Picken was allowed to
| retire to straighten the wrinkles out OF
himself and quench the claret that
| flowed from his nasal organ. The editor
| having no wrinkles or ruffied feathers to
attend to, went to his den to book the
names of new subscribers.
| This morning the case was brought up
before Judge Mount. Mr.. Picken swore
| that he went into the Office with the in
tention of thrashing Mr.. Dc There, and
wOuiG have done so had he been able.
| The witnesses swore to the assault, and
that De There only acted in SELF defense.
Judge Mount fined Picken 81 and DeTiere
81, claiming breach of the peace had
been committed The plea of self defense
was not in it. The kind hearted judge
thought that Picken got badly hurt, ant
had been punished enough.
In case of assault hereafter the EX'
press will lie down and allow itself to b.
walked over, not even squealing, for fea
it might be construed to be breach o
the peace, as it appears he cannot defent
himself. The Express has nothing to TAX
back. Mr.. Picken's name was not men
: toned in the article clipped from tn
! HERALD. He is too thinskinned for
poet. He should go over to Senator Can
held's hennery and lay an egg.
