SUBSCRIPTION SIS PER YEAR.
The Grand jury.

q - y
The grand jury amend ment to
the state constitution having
passed at their recent general
election it is now possible to.
abolish the grand jury system in
whole or in part.
The amend ment which carried
in November did not change the
law in Minnesota as to criminal
procedure in the slightest par
ticle;; it simply made it possible
for the legislature to made a
change should it see fit. The
grand jury system Of procedure
in criminal cases has been either
wholly or partially discarded in
"a states, and it is proposed by
a bill now before the legislature
to made it simply a supplement
tary proceeding, or an emergency
feature, in criminal procedure in
Minnesota. Should this bill pass
criminal cases will be presented
on motion of the county attorney
in each county, but the grand
jury might still be called by the
district Judge when it is so voted
by the board Of county commits
sioners or when petitioned for
by 25O voters.
The grand. jury is a relic of the
secret inquisition of olden times.
1t is Numerically opposed to the
principle of free government.
What it does it does in secret;
and it's crimes of omission are
far greater than it's sins of COM
mission. 1t should be simply a
last resort, to which the people
can appeal if the ordinary chan
nels Of justice fail them. The
grand jury moreover is semian-
nually a great burden of expense
and 1t is only in exceptional cases
that it does otherwise than the
county attorney would do with
out it. 1t ordinarily celebrates
only the cases submitted to it by
the county attorney; why not
have the county attorney act in
the first place and save time and
expense?

Circumstantial Evidence.

Circumstantial Evidence.
The charge of Judge Weber
to the jury in the New Ulm MUIR
der trial was certainly strongly
at variance with the popular con-
ception of the weight that should
be attached to circums tantial
evidence. 1t is popular belief
that circumstantial evidence has
too often sent the innocent to the
gallows, whereas Judge Weber
declares that this has seldom
happened.
The sum Of Judge Webber's
charge so far as circumstantial
evidence is concerned was that
circum stantial evidence is good
evidence upon which to convict.
We cannot believe that it is
good evidence except as it sup.
plements direct evidence or in
case it is absolutely without flaw.
Circumstantial evidence may
cause US to think that perhaps
the accused is guilty; it may
force US to say that it looks as
though the accused were guilty,
but it does not convince US be-
yond a reasonable doubt that the
accused is guilty. In fact it
simply forces us to doubt his in
nocence.
Circumstantial evidence is
grounds for a verdict Of guilty
only when it completely accounts
for the crime. It mnst show
that it was perfectly possible for
the accused to have committed
the crime and that it was per-
fectly impossible for any other
known agent to have committed
the crime under the given condi-
tions. Il must show not only
that the accused may have com
mitted the crime but also that he
must have committed it.

About Patent Medicines.

In circular letter from the Office
Of the Commissioner of Internal
Revenue at Washington, the Com
missioner says that since the ruling
was made that certain patent medi-
cines could not be sold after Deem
Der j 1905 without revenue license,
the wholesale and retail druggists
have demonstrated that large losses
would occur to them If the ruling
should take effect at that time; that
they had purchased them in good
faith and should have sufficient time
to dispose of them without loss. So
the ruling has been changed to take
effect against manufacturers on Jan.
!, 1906, and against dealers April !,
1906, The department has made an
alyses of the following and find they
come within the ruling made Septem-
Der II, 1905 and referred to above:
Atwood's LaGrippe Specific, Cuban

Our Iowa Weather

The weather is always considered
pecially so of the kind we have had
through the month of December 1905.
1t has not been quite as pleasant as
May" but we think it has never been
excelled in December in our state.
A month ago at Thanksgiving time
we had light snow and a few days
of cold weather, but since that time
the days have been for the most part
bright and cheerful and warm enough
for people to stand on the streets
without any discomfort. With the
good roads in addition il has been an
easy matter to get about and attend
to work and business. The second
light snow came about a week ago
which made it seem much more like
Christmas on Monday than it could
have done otherwise. Just what the
winter will bring forth nobody can
tell. The Gazette of Lawrence Kan
sas has the following evidence in
favor of short and pleasant winter:
An exchange says the goosebone
shows indications of warm winter.
Not having killed goose this year,
we don't know about that. But we do
know the rabbits did not put on flesh
until very late. If a hard winter is
coming on, they always fatten up and
get ready to eat by October. They
were not good eating this year until
November. The squirrels were very
lazy about putting up stores. There
is very little food in their winter
quarters. The bees, too, we're negli-
gent, and made little honey. All this
gives evidence of short and plea
SAINT winter. We failed to find any
caterpillars to see their color. II
they are solid brown, the whole winter
will be like Indian summer. The corn
husks were ragged, too, and the ends
of the ears were not protected. The
husks always grow out long over the
ends of the ears when the winter is
going to be cold. The wild geese
have not all gone south yet, and that
is another proof that the winter will
be short. The muskrats have made
but small additions to their houses,
and taken all together, the winter
must of necessity be very mild and
short in order to make good the
signs

The New Education.

In discussing what is termed the
New Education" of today, much is
said that is worthy of consideration.
The delineator for January has an
article by DR.. Grace f. Murray in
which she holds that 1.-The question
in regard to school hours should not
be how long they can be made AMI the
child retain its health, but how short
they can be for the acquisition of
knowledge which his years call for"
In no direction of bringing up child
rem do parents show such ignorance
as in regard to school life. Mothers
should make themselves intelligent
upon all questions pertaining to
school hygiene. They should know
first of all that the schoolroom, in
which the children are to stay from
three to five hours daily, is fit place;
that the school is not overcrowded;
that the best authorities agree that
the number of scholars to which a
teacher can do justice should be no
more than forty, and that a smaller
number would be better; that each
child should be allowed two hundred
cubic feet of space in the schoolroom,
otherwise he will not have sufficient
air; that the temperature should be
according to the thermometer 60 to 68
degrees; that the light should fall
after the DrODnr mannar uDOn the
books which the child is studying, in
order to do which there should be
plenty of windows in the schoolroom.
Every mother should inform herself
in all these matters. 1t is due to her
children to see that their education
is conducted along lines which are
the most beneficial for their bodies
as well as for their minds. :"

The Long and Short of il.

When William Shrader of Cameron
got home last Wednesday evening
after doing business in town that day
and tried to balance his cash account
he found himself short just twenty
dollars. What had become of it he
couldn't tell. Surprising it was gone
without hope of recovery he decided
to keep his own counsel and not ex-
pose himself to the laughter of his
friends. On that same evening when
the cash account at the department
store of G. w. Hoover was made up
they found it long to the extent Of
just twenty dollars. How it could
have happened and to whom it be-
longed they couldn't tell, but expect
ed some fellow who found himself
short would be around to- see about 1t.
On Friday Mr.. Shrader concluded to
go around to the places where he had
paid out money ON Wednesday and
see if anyone had found twenty dol
lars that didn't have an owner attach
ed. The result was that both cash
accounts were balanced and Mr..
Shrader went home feeling much more
like Merry Christmas than he had
for two days before. The explaina-
ton is that he had just received a
number of new bills at the bank and
in paying them out they stuck together,
matter which the banker mentioned
when he counted out the money.

Temperance People Win.

When the last census was completed
down at Atlantic the returns gave the
city $50. The temperance people
brought suit declaring the census was
not correct The case has just been
decided by Judge Thornell in favor
of the plaintiff striking out 292 names
and holding that the man who took
the census wilfully added names of
people who were not residents in
order to secure more than 5000 so
as to help the saloon interests.
In city of 5000 it is necessary to
have only majority of the voters
sign petition but in those under that
and above $500 it is necessary to Sc
cure 80 per cent. The judge enjoins
the Executive Council from publish
ing the census as taken but grants
permission to have new census
taken.
