TIREsoME DEBATE

With only a. few weeks at its dis
posal for the transaction of business,
the United States senate has settled
down again to the tiresone debate on
the statehood bill We cannot under
stand why there should be the slight
est difference Of opinion on this SUBJ
ject. The bill now presented Is adj
nlirably fair and In line with national
interests. We do not want, and the
people will not consent, to create more
desert commonwealths that will never
possess the requisites for statehood.
We do want to get rid OF the terri
tories. Two states one formed Of Okla
homa and Indian territory and the
other Of New Mexico and Arizona,
ought to be admitted and the list of
territories eliminated altogether.
Objections to this entered by sena-
tors from the far West, where the Sec
tional argument has more or less
weight, and it is desired to increase
the number of Western senators to the
limit, can be understood. Less in
telligible is the course of Senator For
aker, of Ohio, who is trying to amend
the bill by permitting either New Mex
leo or Arizona to nullify their union by
a popular vote. This, of course, would
be equivalent to killing the bill. Each
territory is ambitious for statehood.
and both would choose to remain as
they are rather than go into the Union
together.
The people of territory have no
such right to pass upon conditions that
affect the welfare Of the whole Union.
1t is absurd to propose it. 1t is
also absurd to let this whole mat
ter drag along as 1t has for years past,
and permit the defeat of the will Of the
people and the obviously proper policy,
+ by a handful of men with obscure and
local interests to serve. Congress
should pass the statehood bill and have
done with it.

ARolIsHINe THE GRAND JURY

A6OttSfflNG The GRAND JURY
A great many people share the ap-
prehensions expressed from the bencn
by Judge Kelly concerning the pro-
posed abolition of the grand jury which
is now made possible. 1t is trifle like
locking the stable door after the horse
is stolen. This matter was before the
legislature and thoroughly discussed
there when an amendment TO the con-
stitution was proposed. Then 5. that
amendment. was before the people for
their consideration, was voted upon at
the last election and adopted 1t seems
to us that those who believe the grand
jury TO be an essential part of our adj
ministration of the law and a funda-
mental part of-our institutions should
have been more active long ago. If
they had, it is probable that this un-
necessary agitation would not have
achieved success.
I h Clio b e has already expressed
its opinion on this subject 1t holds
that the entire discussion Is academic
and fruitless. 1t is part of that wor-
ship of machinery that is so grave
fault of the American people How
fully and faultlessly justice will be
done depends upon the honesty, de-
termination and energy of the public.
Liberty can perish and wrongdoing
triumph with the grand jury or with
out it, in equal measure. 1t is the mis-
fortune of such changes as this that
they fix the public mind on suppositi-
tious remedies and divert it's attention
from its own faults of negligence. I'm.
der one system or another we can get
along fairly well if the people are hon
est, sincere and ready to do their
share. No system can prevent de-
cadence and abuse if these conditions
are wanting.
1t is certain that the system which is
suggested as a substitute for the grand
jury is open to the very gravest abuses.
We have knowledge of a certain COM
munity, by way of Illustration, in
which the system of information by the
public prosecutor was put into effect
to take the place of grand jury fndict-
ments The consequences Were de-
plorable. 1t happened that in that
community there were certain powerful
influences reaping great profits through
open violation of the law. There was
nothing to call them to account They
combined carefully before political con-
ventions were held, and succeeded in
having nominated by both parties for
the Office of prosecuting attorney men
zon whom they could depend for friend
ship and protection. Then they were
safe.
The public prosecutor took no ac-
tion. If private citizens attempted to
persuade him to do so, he either de-
clined outright or introduced infinite
evasion and delay. When action was
taken by private parties through their
attorneys, the whole force of the pub
lie department. of justice was used to
make proceedings of no avail Tech
nical defects Were found in the papers;
and the public prosecutors office, be-
ing necessarily admitted to share in
the proceedings, became spy and an
ally of the enemy in the camp of an
alleged friend. 1t was found utterly

The Female Detectives at the Grand

! ne fenfafe DerecfiveS at the Grand
The so-called con1edy-drama at the
Grand this week is a mere excuse to
exploit couple of female imperson-
ators. 1t is poor excuse During the
third act the Russell brothers present
their vaudeville stunt, ''The Irish Serv-
ant Girl" The speciality has some
merit. Jafnes Russell does a funny bit
of low comedy, and he and his brother
introduce neat dance.
The delirieHs eonglomeration that
serves as play is of low moral tone,
and would require the services of a
puzzle expert to discover what it is
all about. In spots 1t is very nasty.
There is little opportunity in play
of this type for the members of the
company supporting the Russells to
distinguish themselves. There is rather
more for them to extfnguiSh them
selves. ". M. De Silke, as the cool,
calculating, cigarette smoking villain,
displays some CLEANS Of histrionic abil
ity. Blanche Leighton and Annie Con-
roy Russell, though badly Handicapped
by their respective roles, make good
showing. Antoinette Hart, as SOU
brette street waif, makes as much of
the part as anyone could. Edgar Fore
man as a captain of police does very
well. One member of the company
plays three or four roles, but he is not
quite as bad as the play in any one Of
them.
