into the record below for use in
the higher court.
1t Is to be charged that the en-
tire Jury roll was illegally drawn
because the jury commissioners
did not adhere to the terms of the
law requiring the work of prepare
ton of the list to be done "in open
court" Attorney Pierce is pre-
pared to show that a large part of
the work of making up the list was
performed, not in court, but in the
rooms formerly occupied by Coun-
ty Superintendent of Schools Wat
kins. 1t is asserted that Commits
sioners Allen and Jameson worked
with two stenographers in the
school room for a number of days.
This jury roll is taken from the
names ON the personal property tax
roll and from the voting list. Sew

eral days were occupied in the
work. It is supposed that the
change from the court room to the
school room was made In order that
the work Of both court and commits
sion would not be interrupted.
AS to the second point, the ques-
ton is to be raised as to the sum-
cheney Of the reasons actuating
Judge Poindexter in Diminishing the
recent panel. 1t has been supposed
that the ready acquittal Of the de-
PENDANTS in the cases against Det-
rick and Mrs. Chase, when evil
dence tended strongly toward con-
viction, was the basis of the
courts action. 1t is now whisper.

reasons.

ing influences of senatorial politics
and insists upon maintaining his
manhood and serving his constitu-
ents according to his own convic-
tions Of right, Is so rare as to look
heroic in the high light of public
admiration.
He who refuses to enter into any
party action where he cannot take
with him his principles and self
respect may look small and trail
torous to some senator's, but he
looks big and honest to the people.
Were there more men in the
United States senate with convic-
tons, courage and independence,
that body would command more
popular respect and exercise more
power for public good.

An attack is to be made on the
validity Of the entire jury roll from
which Jurors in the superior court
have been drawn since last June,
and also upon Judge Poindexter's
act in dismissing an entire panel
of jurors short time ago.
These points are to be raised at
the commencement of the trial Of
H. l.. Bond, indicted by the grand
jury for selling liquor to patrons of
his drug store in Hillyard under
improper circumstances. Drug
gist Minthorne has already served
a jail sentence and paid a fine for
the same offense.
Bonds attorney, John A. Pierce,
has prepared papers attacking the
jury matter, and while it is expect
ed as a matter of form that his
position will not be sustained in

because he has refused to be bound
by q senatorial caucus, Is being ex-
coriated and denounced as a traitor
to his party.
The country thinks far more Of
q public man who is true to HIM
self and to his trust than Of those
who weakly permit others to do
their thinking and make manikins
OF them.
Men with the character and cour-
age displayed by Senator Patter-
son are rare in the senate-more's
the pity! 1t Is mainly the reason
why the senate comes in for SO
much public contempt.
The man who has not fixed con-
victions Of his own, or who has not
backbone enough to stand up for
them against any opposition. has
no business In the senate. 1t is by
such that the public interests are
sacrificed and betrayed.
II is amazing with what alacrity
the men who go down to Washing
ton acquire the idea that the inter-
ests of party are more important
than the interests Of the people.
Party policy often appeals to the
Senatorlal caucus more strongly
than Right.
