Vulcan, the god Of ancient black
in consequence of a pretty hard fall
he had in his early days. Jupiter and
Juno had a row, and Vulcan sided
with his mother against the old gen.
tleman, who promptly kicked him out
Of heaven. He fell for a whole day
and lighted on the island Of Lemnos,
broke his leg and received as severe
a shaking up as though he had tumbled
down an elevator shaft. Esculapius
set his leg, but having only just receiv-
ed diploma did. poor job, and for q
long time Vulcan went on a crutch.

THE JURY SYSTEM.

PerennialIy the question comes up
whether there is not a better way to
establish justice than by jury trials
So far as criminal indictments are con-
cerned the public unquestionably
clings to the jury trial, but as to civil
suits involving intricate questions of
law and requiring keen analysis of
conflicting testimony, the question is
fairly debatable. Those who would
dispose of the jury system in those
cases claim that lay justice is no more
IL be commended than lay medicine.
We do not allow persons without GER
tifcate of previous training to prac
tice medicine on others. but we do call
upon the ordinary citizen to leave his
work and go to the courthouse to set
tie offhand a controversy involving
perhaps years of puzzling transactions
between ITHlS or individuals.
If not the jury system, what then?
A bench of judges passing on both law
and the facts is suggested as the al
Tentative. 1t is cOntended that judges
learned in the law and schooled in the
weighing of testimony would be far
more apt to render a just judgment
than a jury There would be fewer
delays. no mistrials and the right of
appeal would be less apt to be resorted
to if the judges spread upon their YER
diet a complete exposition of the law
applicable to the case Juries. it is
cities there are organized gangs of
jury buyers. Likewise there are I'M
organized gangs of professional jury
men. These prey upon the necessities
of courts for jurymen and the extreme
difficulty of catching and holding bust
nessmen for this duty.
On the other side of the controversy
there is a denial that a bench of judges
would prove more satisfactory in the
long run than a jury of laymen
Judges do not always judge righteous
ly or accurately When a case is ap-
cause of some error of the judge in
applying the law or ruling upon the
admisSibility of evidence. Compare

cause the jury did not correctly inter
pref the facts. This would seem t.
weigh against the value of a bench o

might take occasion to correct thei

VIII Present a Protest.

WILD the assistance or GOVernOr Kibbey, the live stock sanitary board, the Arizona Cattle Grow CTS association and individual cat tlemen, are preparing to make a strong protest to the government against the removal of what is known as the slaughter drift fence along the Mexican boundary.
 William Neal, one of the owners of the 4-Bar ranch, north of Doug las, has enlisted the support of Arizona officials in an effort he will make to prevent the fence be- ing removed by the government. Speaking in Douglas Wednesday of the fence proposition. he said:
 "Nine miles below the San Der nardino ranch it is known that cattle are infected with fever ticks. The Slaughter ranch on this ac- count, is now under quarantine, notwithstanding his herds have shown no evidence of the presence of ticks for more than year.
 Should this drift fence be re- moved the cattle now held north of it would range down into Mex leo and it would only be matter of months until these fever ticks would make their appearance among the herds of Sulphur Spring and other range valleys in the Southern portion of the terri tory.
 "This would certainly invite the quarantine line farther north and perhaps exclude the entire terri tory frOmi the zone from which cattl be transported to mark ct cred by quarantine reg ulat

 It has been the fixed policy of the government for several years to abolish the drift fence throughout the country where they interfered with the free use of the range by all cattle owners, but the condi- tions of the Slaughter fence are not to be compared with the ordinary drift fences as maintained in the interior several years ago. These were built on the public domain often by the large cattle owners to prevent the use of the range by other and smaller cattle owners.
