OPPOSES JURY TRIALS.
Think System IS Entire
Success

New Haven, Conn, June 26.-Secre-
tary Of War Taft was the speaker of the
day at the Glass day exercises at Yale
university today. The secretary spoke
in part as follows:
One of the most useful results Of our re-
cent territorial expansion for those who
have had to Go with uniting our new pos
sessions with this country and adjusting GER
tain OF the Spanish codes which we found
in Porto Rico and the PHILIPPINES to the
new American sovereignty has been the
comparative study made necessary for the
two great systems of laW-the Roman, OF
civil law, and the Anglo-SaXon, or common
law
Those Of US who have been educated in
the principles of the common law and have
not extended our study much into general
Jurisprudence, are apt TO be narrow in our
prejudiceS in favor of the common law
and are prone to think that there is very
little for US to learn from the civil law
which can be Usefully adopted by gov
eminent in which the liberty of the indi
yidual is held so sacred and the power Of
the government towards the subject or the
citizen Is restrained by such careful regd
lations as in England in America or any
Of the popular self governments for which
either of those countries is responsible.
After referring to the institution of the
writ OF habeaS corpus, trial by jury and
other means Of preserving the rights OF
the individual against the oppression OF
tHe SoNeiHHieut, secretary IaIL CONllll-
ued:
AS these served their purpose well in
ancient times, when the battle for civil
liberty was fought and won, the first i'm
pulse of the American lawyer is to apply
them all as panacea to the government
and criminal procedure of our new posses
siOns. But further Investigations with u
deepening sense Of responsibility for the
government of body Of people whose vel
fare has been forced upon Us a sacred
trust, leads to q much more conservative
attitude in respect Of the needed changes
in the existing procedure.
We have no right to force upon Porto
Ricans or the Fiipinos institutions of ON
own which have proved of the highest bene-
fit to us unless we can see, on other than
mere sentimental grounds connected with
our own history, that such institutions will
now prove beneficial to them in their pres
emf condition.
Trial by jury has been adopted in Porte
Rico. 1t has not been adopted in the Phil.
ippnes. l do not think it too much to say.
however, that it has proved TO be failure
thus far in Porto Rico. The first question
was in the Philippines Shall it be adopted
in civil cases? 1t would seem unwise. 1t
is by no means clear that in our jurispru-
dence trial by jury in civil cases is I'll
unmiXed good. The abolition Of the jury
in civil cases would relieve civil suits and
would not, l think. with proper appeal, de.
prive any litigant of an impartial hearing.

Celebration

To celebrate the Fourth, and to
celebrate it as it has never before
been done in Rapid City. was the
consensus Of opinion expressed at
the meeting of the Rapid City Com
merclal Board held in the city hall
last evening. Indian Commissioner
Louppe, South Dakota senators ard

and it is planned to bring as many
Indians here US was in attendance

traction that will draw from all the
centers of the country.
Last nights meeting was not
lacking in the enthusiasm that in
spires and assures success, and
while all Of the committees had not
reported results of their efforts, as
they should have done, fairly good
progress was made in this direction.
The president was instructed to
name committees to look after the
celebration details successfully, and
be stated he would attend to that
matter and report the committees
selected to board of directors to
be held at his Office next Tuesday
evening for consideration and con
tirmation. 1t is desired to make
this celebration the most notable in
the history OF the city, or, in fact,
the whole Black Hills. As soon as
these committees have been ap-
pointed, we shall have more to say

WHO Is PENNINGTON,S MOST
POPULAR YOUNG LADY?.
A SOLID GOLD WATCH AWAITS aEiR
An Interesting Contest to be Con-.
Quoted by this Newspaper
for the Most Popular T.:
Young Lady. s.:

Nearly all modern business men
conduct their business affairs on
twalve-month basis. That is, at
the expiration of each business
year general inventory is taken
and the affairs for the year are
balanced.
The present proprietors Of this
paper assumed charge on the FIRST
day of July, (19o3) and conse-
quently July rst. 1905 will mark
the end of our business year-the
second.
In order to show some slight
appreciation of the patronage we
have received, we have decided to
inaugurate a unique and interesting
contest, that will result in some
Pennington county girl receiving
absolutely free a handsome and
valuable solid gold watch.
THE PLAN.
"The most popular girl in Pen
nington comfy is the young lady
who will get the watch, and oug
subscribers, who are naturally the
most intelligent in the community.
and are therefore the best able to,
judge, shall decide who is to oHn
this beautiful watch. Only lcgiti-
mate cash subscribers to the Union
may vote, and the winner of the
prize must have a plurality Of the
vote cast.
To all who pay money on sub
scription to the Union from now,
until July 1st, 1905, shall he en-.
titled to votes in the contest at the
rate of one vote for each cent paid
in ons.bscription. In other words
anyone who pays one year in ad-
vance, cash price $3.50, he or She
will be entitled to I so votes, and 50
on.
THE WATCH.
The watch which was purchased
of Jeweler Swanson, of this city,
is now on exhibition at Mr.. Swan
sons store where it may be seen
and examined. 1t is richly en-
graved, 14-carat solid gold, hunting
cases, genuine Hampden move-
ment, and fully guaranteed in
every way by Mr.. Swanson.
The winners picture will be
pr nted in the Union as soon after
the contest as plate can be secured.
and the Union, of course, will pay
all costs tot photograph, plate, etc.
The results of the contest witt
appear each week in the columns

The Globe asserts what is not

There is also an alleged mysteri-

Hospital Fever and Meddlesome

Hospital fever is a disease sui gen
eris. and is in no way related to
either small -pox, measles Or scarlet
fever. 1t is endemic in certain
regions Of the United States and is
caused by peculiar form OF Micro
Organisms, and disseminated by
those who hope to reap a rich reward
from the patients SO effected.
The bacteria of this disease is
manufactured by the doctors in the
poorly supported hospital of our
larger cities in the shape of circulars.

have medical colleges, some having
at least half dozen institutions OF
this kind and they are grinding out
doctors at the rate ..of. twenty or

hospitals are filled largely by young
doctor graduates of the yearly grind

Isown broadcast over the western
states by these hospital doctors for

Circulars are sent to the practfcing
physicians all over the west, solicit

them; agreeing to pay back to the
doctor half the money received from
every patient sent. This is not an
