A SWEEPING DECISION.

The decision of the court of ap-
peals in the case of Mary Miller is
timely. 1t re-establishes the right of
trial by jury in all cases entitled to
such trial at the time of the adoption
of the constitution. 1t is sweeping
and farreaching decision and requires
an immediate ..realignment of practice
in inferior courts.
To Roanoke the decision has peculiar
significance. AT the present time there
are two measures intended to work radi-
cal changes in our court procedure. The
drst lies in the bill already introduced
in the legislature by Representative
Thomas TO establish circuit court for
Roanoke city and Bedford, the second
lies in the proposed police court pro-
vided for in the new city charter.
Speaking from o layman's point of
view, THE TIMES believes that if the de-
cision of the court of appeals had been
made two weeks ago the bar of Roanoke
would have been nearly unanimous in
favor of criminal court. AS IL %. not.
withstanding the action of the second
bar meeting in favor Of the circuit court
1t is not too late to reconsider and urqe
tne criminal COURT At least, the Iogts.
lature should have an opportunity TO
consider the merits of either court.
AS to the charter amendment provid.
ing for police justice, there will be the
same difficulty which arose in the police
court of the District of Columbia. An
abSeaI from that tribunal TO The ST.
Dretne Court Of the District bfought
out decision substantially like the
one just handed down from the court Of
appeals. The feAeay was had in the
empanelling OF jury when jury trial
was demanded. Since the judge de-
cides the punishment there, the aver
age police court criminal quickly
learned that it was the height of unwis-
dom to ask for jury, as the maximum
penalty usually followed their verdicts
OF guilty.
In Virginia the jury imposes the
punishment. 1t will, the refore, be ne
cessary to provide il the charter that a
jury may be empannelled when neces
sary. The practical working would be
to have a jury summoned once week
and bunch those cases in which trial by
jury is demanded.
While the matter is up, unless there
is a constitutional provision to the con
trary, why would not jury of five mel
do as well as jury of twelve to tr,
petty criminal cases? 1t would save
heavy expense.

4 Short Tariff Sprrn ON.

/ That System Of tariff legislation
which lev.es duties on imports such as
| arc adequate to establish and main
/ tain industries, insuring high wages to
| lahore.s, is called Protection.
| The amount of Protection needed is
determined by the difference i'll the
cost Of production at home and abroad.
For instance: If, because of high
wages here, it costs $50 to rroddce a
ton of steel rails, and because Of low
wages it costs only 80 in England,
then steel rails need q du.v OF about
SO ton TO keep our mills open and to
protect our own workmen from the
low wages abroad.
Again, If it costs seventy cents Il
bushel II raise barley here and only
forty cents Il huShel in Canada, then
barley nceGs Pro.ection of thirty
cents bushal-
If Il duty is imposed on any article
less than the difference in the cost OF
production, it cannot be Protective.
Twenty cents per yard might bea Pro
teclive daty on grade Of plush, while
eighteen cents per yard might not be
Protection at all.
\ Protective Tariff system not only
means high duties on some things,
medium duty on others, and even low
duties OH certain articles, but it means
no duty al all on such things as We
cannot produce or manufacture in SUI
iicent quantities for our own use.
On tea and coffee, for instance, we
levy no import duty, for We cannot
raise them in this country.
And raw sugar, too, we admit free of
duty, for we have not yet developed
the industry sufficiently to supply our
own people. 50, instead of duty, a
bounty is given.
\ Protective Tariff, therefore, he
SIDES beng source of revenue, de-
velops and maintains our agriculture
and innuInerahle manufacturing in
dustries; it enables us to pay our mil
liens of workmen high wages, thereby
insuring a home market of several
times greater value than the whole
woI Ids markets combined; it keeps
hundreds of millions of dollars in the
country that would otherwise be sent
abroad to pay for things we can raise
ana manufacture ourselves; it incites
invention: it enables us to live better,
eat better food and wear better clothes
than any other nation; it enables us
20 keep our wives at home instead #
III the ti Ids or in the mills; it enables
Us to educate our children; in short, it
makes us he most prosperous, the
mos, contcnted and the happiest peo-
pie on the face of the earth
