The recent report Of the city cleo
trician of Chicago shows how that
city has made money in the last l3
years by doing its own lighting by
electricity. The total amount paid
for construction, operating and re-
pairs and rebuilding in this period
was 81, 7S6, 100.12, fer which the
number of lights has been increased
from lSS to 4,239. If the city had
rented private plants, the cost in Ii
years would have been 81, 2,507,- :
10 80, but the city now has three
power plants, l25 miles Of conduits,
4, 400 arc lamps and two power sta
tons, worth 1921 900. The elec.
trician says, ''ln two more years
Chicago should not owe itself one
cent on account Of the plants it has
built or valuable property it has ac
quired in constructing the plants. "

Justice Brewer on the Jury System.

Among lawyers particularly and
laymen quite generally the utter
ances OF Justice Brewer CT the Uni
ted States supreme court in an ad-
dress before the students of Yale
university on the abuses of the jury
system are attracting much atten-
ton. Gas at present administer
ed" the eminent jurist declares,
cit is little less than relic Of a
semi-barbarous age. Continuing
Justice Brewer says:
"The juror is treated lit le better than
a criminal. He is locked up at night
laborer. He is compelled TO listen to
the wrangle Of lawyers. ! hope that the
time will come when the Juror will be
treated like a man, when he will recei, e

that the present system CT conviction
will give way To one in which the con-
currence Of reasonable numb Of jur-
ors shall determine the verdict
The Justice might have gone fur
ther and shown up the disreputable
practice of certain lawyers who
make il a business of packing"
jrries and who are known in the
profession as 'good jury lawyers. "
Such abuses Of the jury system
have become SO common that they
are looked upon as "sharp prac-
tice," and the public does not stop
to realize that through them justice
is thwarted and the jury system be-
CONT reproach to civilization.
Justice Brewer also calls attention
to the tleatmento OF witnesses, which
j. more grievous and outrageous
abuse than the treatment Of Jurors.
He says:
1t i one OF the dutie. OF American cit
izenship to perform the duties OF wit
ness when summoned into court al
though in the present system the witness
is treated like liar and is brow beaten
by opposing lawyers.
These latter abuses may be cor
rected by resolute aud fair minded
judges, but the abuses of the jury
system calls for statutory rem
edies. While it is wholly improb-
able that the American people will
ever consent to the adjustment Of
the jury system, there is an urgent
and widespread demand for reform
in its administration Ind. Sun.

Scots Had an Eye to Business.

The medieval university differed in
many respects from our idea of u modern
university. 1t was primarily a guild of
teachers and scholars, formed for CON-
mon protection and mutual aid. 1t was
a republic of letters, whose members
were Exempt from all services private
and public, all personal taxes and contri-
buttons and from all civil procedure in
was often secondary and often entirely
overlooked. The Scottish university
from the beginning, however, empha-
sized the teaching function and created
an atmosphere academic rather than civil
or political. The early curriculum was
crude, but fully abreast Of the g COM
prising in the main, philosophy, theol-
ogy, canon and civil law. All instruc-
ton was in Latin and the writing of
latin dissertations was the daily task Of
the student-a straight and narrow way
Of learning.-Scribner's Magazine.

Poor Los Salvation is Work.

The attitude of our government toward
the Indian, in allowing him in idleness
to follow his own untrammelel will on
the reservation, is a relic CT the old
French and Spanish original discoveries.
Are these wards of the government new
demned to tribal relations? Are they
never to know the mental uplifting Of a
wife's hands, but be always fated to
bu-den-bearin& sQuaw life? Some day q
statesman will arise and point the way
for these aboriginal Americans to be-
Gene men and women among us, and
truly citizens of our states. Until that
time-until Indians are alienated from
their savage surroundings-their treat
ment is a proposition moi reached by any
pink-tea standard Of ethics. National
