The notable Goddard trial at Lew
iston has caused the Tribune Of that
place to call attention again to the
shoddy nature of our jury system
and the weakness of our criminal
laws, and it gives some pertinent
remarks on the subject The Lord
knows our jury system needs reno
waiting The man who reads the
papers is disqualified for jury work,
according to the modern plan of
selecting jurors The result is, that
the man who never does read the
papers is often in the jury box. This
fact explains many of the startling
verdlcts that echo around the horizon
Heather jures are very often sure
means of escape from full punish
ment for the most cold -blooded
crimes. We have known many cases
where justice went widely astray.
The present jury system stands CON
victed OF Matching verdicts which ars
startling in the first degree.

Although a young state, North
Dakota has learned that the prosper

extent on easy access to towns, sta

Money continues to pile up at the
eastern money centers. The east
holds the returns from western farm
mortgages, and since few new loans
are being made, and nothing is doing
in the way of railroad construction,
the congestion increases. The hold
ers of this money long to loan it out
and receive returns from their capt
tai, but question the security offered.
Higher prices for products and com
oditles would quickly put values
back into land and industries and
bring restoration of confidence that
would soon restore credit and place
the money back into active circula-
ton But this comes slowly with
the approaching dollar. With corn,
wheat cotton, silver, lead, lumber,
wool and other products selling at
prices which barely pay the cost Of
production, it is almost impossible
for industry to pay returns on Dor
rowed capital. Capital realizes this
and declines to make ventures. 1t
declines to perform its natural func-
tons on terms which the country can
afford to make, and refuses to per
NIT the use of The silver dollar in its
place The situation is anomalous.

ERo-mous Yearly Output of the Can.
ming Factories.
There is enough canned soup sold
each year to feat half a hundred war
ships. At least, that is what a mar
in the business of preparing the stuff
says, according to the New York Mail
and Express. He has been fifteen years
canning goods of all kinds and he says
that no branch Of the trade has made
such strides as the soup industry. Last
year was the most successful in hij
experience, he adds, and the chefs and
workmen in his factory worked on an
average Of eight hours a day only
This season promises to be a record
breaker, and for the last five month";
the full force has been engaged on an
average of eleven hours q day turning
out soup. Last year." he remarked,
in giving details of the great industry,
Eve canned $780, 900 gallons OF it. It
would be possible to flood the entire
Erie canal with this quantity of soup
turned out annually here and else
where. This year. judging by the way
we have started off, our output will be
over 100000 gallons. Canned soup
has become popular for various rea-
sons. In the first place, it can be pur-
chased cheaper than it i5 possible for
the housewife to make it. Then, again,
there is no bother attached to its con-
sumption. 1t needs no seasoning and
does not have to be cooked. All that
is required is to heat it. The cans are
prepared with the greatest Of care and
will stand any sort OF climate. whether
it be the torrid zone or the clustering
arctic. There are, OF course. more than
one hundred kinds of coup prepared al
our cannery. The most popular how
ever, number about fourteen. They
are the oxtail. beef, chicken. mock tur-
tie, pea, tomato, green turtle, terrapin,
