Wants to Change the Subject?

" INSTEAD Of naming n time and
place for the comparison of ad-
n vertising contracts made within
two years, q comparison 1t in
vited and we accepted, the Times now
raises another issue--the question of
circulation. Before it is willing to so
on with it's own voluntary agreement 1T
apparently seeks to interiect new
condition. We submit that this is not
fair.
Advertisers are at liberty at all times
to make such inquiries concerning The
Tribunes circulation as they may wish.
We do not claim the largest circulation
in America or in Scranton. But we do
claim that every advertiser who wants
il pays for Tribune publicity at II rate
which is not shaded in favor of his
competitor using equal space, whether
in or out of the city. We claim that
our rate is absolutely fair to every adj
vertiser: that we do not name one price
to one advertiser and Il different one to
another for the same amount of space
in the same kind of position in the
same issue with the same circulation.
The Times having spoken disparas-
ingly of The Tribune's fiat rate, we now
request it to enlarge the scope of the
inquiry proposed by it in its issue of
Monday We desire to have COMPARE
son made and published of all live ad
Nertising contracts or arrangements"
in both papers. We are sure that no
ad gertiser in The Tribune will object to
the publication of what he is paying us,
for with one exception there is not one
who does not pay the rate carried at
the head of this page. That exception
contract, signed under Il previous man.
agement. has not yet expired.
Can the Times say as much? If 1t
can, it should not have any objection
to a full and complete comparison of
all live advertising contracts or ar
rangements" in both papers. But if
such Il comparison is distasteful TO it
and we strongly suspect that it would
sooner suspend business than make and
publish one-then let its original invi-
tation stand, with our acceptance un-
modified. That will at least throw some
light upon the boast of our contempor-
airy that it is charging some of it's ad-
NertiSerS three times as much as The
Tribune is charging them for equal
space while to our knowledge ii is
charging other advertisers in some in
stances considerably less.

WHEN MOTHER TUCKED YOU IN

For The Tribune
How nice it was in childhood when mother
tucked you in;
When the toys We're laid away, and the feet
We're tired OF play;
When the "sand Man" dinnled the sight how
glad you were twas night
When mother tucked you in
How nice il was in the old time when mother
tucked you in;
When lessons were hard 10 learn and the Teachers 5
face was stern
When YOU dropped the bat and bail and forgot
your troubles all
When mother tucked you in
Ilow nice Il was in boyhood days when mother
tucked you in;
When storms made the old house crelk and
lightning played hide and seek;
When the thunder rolled so very near yet you
had nothing at all 10 lear
Because mother tucked you in.
How nice it was in youth'a fair days when mother
tucked YOU in;
When sickness laid you very low and the hours
moved on 80 slow;
When your frame was racked with pain, and
fierce fever burned your brain
10 have mother tuck YOU mi
How nice it will be at the close to have mother
tuck you ini
When life's battle al last Is o'er and you ap.
proach the shining shore:
When you have banished every fear (as dear
Friend is very neaD,
TO have mother tuck you in,

"A. Indiana politics, due to the de-
velopment of feelings of jealousy
between the honorable senators from
and Beveridge have not been as David
and Jonathan to each other has for
some time been among the things sus-
pected; but now it is openly charged
that they have knives out for mutual
gore and that their appearance forbids
the hope of peace. We say this is
grievous, for Indiana is Il state plenty
large enough fortwo, and Messrs. Fair
banks and Beveridge are men of sufii-
cient ability to do excellent team work
If willing to work in the harness to-
gether without bucking.
While conditions have changed some
what in American politics since the
looked upon as pivotal in presidential
contests. it is by no means certain that
in the political mutations of the near
future It's old time Importance may not
recur. In that event it would not be
encouraging for Republicans generally
to have to take pot luck in Il factional
squabble not of their concern. If there

rel. Let each of the distinguished sena-
tors give Il little and take a little and

er is in favor OF doing away with the
unaniinity requirement, since 1t would
cut the hopes of sharp practitioners.
But there are other points In current
court practice to which he strenuously
objects. He thinks that the pay of
jurors should be increased so that men
Of ability will hot be made to suffer
great financial loss while serving OH the
jury. Then he would abolish utterly
the antiquated rule which makes of the
juror virtually u prisoner while con-
sdering case. He would as soon
think, he says, of requiring the judge
to be locked up for days at q stretch
in order to get good law out OF him as
to decree such q fate for men fit to
sit in judgment on the facts Jurors,
as well as other men, need fresh air,
diversion and the opportunity to sleep
in comfortable beds with their families,
If they have families. and not on stuffy
cots, in suffocating rooms, where every
square inch of air has been vitiated by
over breathing hundred times If
Justice Brewer could be shut up in one
of Lackwnn county's jury rooms for u
night or two he would be likely to for
get the dignity owing to the honorable
local court and, taking a gun, would
proceed to execute reforms by main
strength.
These things have been said before
and ignored. The conservatism which
hedges about orr courts and court prac-
tices is marvellous. Yet sooner or later
modern intelligence will refuse to re-
main content with obsolete forms and
ceremonies that do not aid but actually
hinder the prompt administration of
instice between man and man.

Notice of application has been given
for Canadian charter for the North
ern Securities company. This means
that if it's corporate existence in the
United States shall be declared unlaw-
full by the Supreme court it will have
another leg to stand on. But If 1t
should appear that it is an institution
in conflict with our laws it will then be
within the Federal power to prevent its
doing business on American territory.
There has been no disposition to badger
it or do more than merely to secure
judicial review of the facts. But II its
managers court Il battle with the
United States government we have no
doubt that President Roosevelt Will ac-
commodate them.

V " y HEN dissatisfaction with
AN the jury system is eX-
pressed from so eminent
II source as Il justice of
the United States Supreme court, the
inference is strong that something must
be wrong with it. We noted recently
the contribution of Justice Brewer in
the International Monthly for January
in which he contended that in the great
majority of cases coming before the
average court the requirement OF unan-
unity among twelve jurors worked
against rather than in favor of JUS
tice. He offered it as his belief that in
most cases a jury of six or eight, two
thirds or three-fourths of whom could
bring in a binding verdict, would en-
pedite and materially cheaper the work
pairing the quality of the justice ad-
ministered
But that was not all that the learned
justice said in his notable and cour-
ageous article. mo man." he said
'shouldi be held disqualified for jury
iervice,becausef he has read the news
paper report OF a transaction or even
heard some of the witnesses speak of
1t, and from such a reading or hearing
has formed a mere passing opinion upon
the case. No one for a moment sup
poses that the judge Is disqualified or
that he etwill incorrectly declare the law
although he may have heard the whole
story of the transaction. No more
should~an intelligent, honest man be
held disqualified from passing judg-
ment upon the facts for the simple rea-
son That he has read or heard the
story iof course, if he has a settled,
positive conviction, that is reason for
his excuse.
There is something radically wrong
in a system or practice which permits
such "a consumption of time in the
choosing of a jury as is now often en-
countered, and often ends in bringing
the most incompetent men on to the Jury
Every one knows that in an important
and hard case the struggle of counsel
is TO secure upon the jury one or more
who are friendly 10 their client or in
sympathy with the cause or interest
with which he is identified, or who may
be easily Influenced by appeals to pre-
judice on sympathy" II is for this rea-
