All of that criticism that is being
heaped upon the jury in the Sloan
murder case trial is not deserved;
much of it is due the system and not
the jury. 1t is asking too much of
man used to an active, outdoor life as
most of the Sloan jurors were, that
they become worse than prisoners for
az days, under the terrible mental
strain necessary to follow the great
mass of evidence, and then render
sane verdict at the end of it all. The
jury system is probably all right so
far as determining the actual guilt
or innocence of a man charged with
crime, but it should not be asked to
pass upon the sanity of the person
being tried. If there is a question
as to the sanity of the person arrested
for crime, the law should provide a
commission whose duty it would be to
pass upon the prisoners mental re-
sponsibility and if such commission
finds him insane, the cost of a pro-
longed criminal trial would be saved.
No jury made up as is the average
jury is competent to pass upon the
mental condition of criminal, es-
pecially when confronted by such a
mass of conflicting expert" testi-
mony as was presented in the Sloan
case, and as is now being presented in
the Thompson trial in Tacoma. Let
commission decide the insanity ques-
tion, but keep it out of the trial.

Both ends of the stick in the Fra
zier saloon case seem to have been
badly tarred, and the administra-
ton" has been trying for two weeks
to let loose. We have no sympathy
with Frazier if he has been violating
the law, but common justice would
demand that no favorites be played in
the granting of saloon privilegesI
Frazier's error, of course, was in not
staying under the protecting wing ant
allowing the political vampires tt
bleed him.

The Feeling Toward
Missionaries In Far
Eastern Countries

By sir HENRY MORTIMER DURAND, British Ambassador to he United States
\ those parts of the east where have served missionaries Ire
not always regarded with favor by the officials, merchants and
n others with whom they arc brought into contact. have
known many laymen who believed in missionary work and
supported it heartily, but have also known many who did not. L
have often heard it argued that missionary work in those regions is at
best wasted AND Is OFTEN HARMFUL: that practically no re-
suits follow from the expenditure of so many valuable lives and {" so
much labor and money which would be much more usefullv expended
AT HOME: that the missionaries make few converts, and that those
they make cannot be trusted; that by attacking the religion of the pco-
pie about them the missionaries arouse hostility against all Christians
and that thev are. in fact, a perpetual source Of embarrassment and
anxiety to their governments. have heard these things and
THINGS WORSE THAN THESE said of the missionaries. 1t
must be admitted that they are not universally popular among their
countrymen in the east.
Missionary work is difficult and delicate work, and i'll fairness 10
Governments. a $ well as to individuals, hothcaded and tactess men,
HOWEVER DEVOTED, should not be sent out to do it. Providing
missionaries are of the right stamp, if were ever again an adminstra-
tor o. diplomatist in a nonChrtan country, would from a PURE
IY BUSINESS point Of view, rs a government official, far sooner
have them than not to have them within the limits of my charge.
AND FROM WHAT HAVE SEEN THE PEOPLE OF THE
COUNTRY, TOO, WOULD FAR SOONER HAVE THEM THAN NOT TO
HAVE THEM.

\ CATSKIIL SCENE.

In Il dreamy mood you finally
make your way back to the road, and
idly wander on until you reach the
village post office and general store.
You gaze c~uriously at its barn-like
appearance. and at the queer char
acters %congregated there. 1t is the
noon-hour and they are waiting for
the one great event of the day, the
arrival of the rural mailman
whose white horse can be seen COM
ing leisurcly mp the road at IA snail's
pace. a smile curves your lips, as
YOU mark the contrast between this
raw-boned farmer, in his blue-iean
overalls, and the city postman, in his
spruce gray uniform. Nevertheless,
in sunshine or storm, the rural mail
man is as faithful as his city cousin.

how he likes travelling the mountain

look of surprise breaks over his hon
est features as he strokes his chin
and drawls: ooh, | don't like 1t SO

The Abuse of Our
Public Franchises
BY Supreme Court Justice wLLIAr1.J. CAYNoR of Brooklyn. N. Y.

ANhszw HE aggrandizement of the few at the expense of the many
is not PROSPERITY. The intelligent people Of this
country are finally making up their minds that they will
no longer suffer such a condition to be created or fosterep
by the abuse Of the public franchises of the country under
which our public service corporations exist, and they are prepared to
elect legislatures and courts and public officials who will even RE
SUME SUCH FRANCHISES, take them back, unless such abuses
are stopped.
We cry out against trusts, but the legislators whom we elect busy
themselves passing laws to enable trusts to be formed, and then they
pass BOTH KINDS OF LAWS in the same session. Could any
thing be more ludicrous! The people are taken for mere fools by
their chosen representatives. All of the trusts n formed under
statutes enabling M corporation to own the shares of other corpora,
tons. In that wv any number of corporations may be brought UN,
DER THE CONTROL OF ONE CORPORATION, and there is
your trust.
A big company is prone to forget the obligations of the several
companies it controls to the government and to the people WHO
CREATED THEM and endowed them for a public service. The law
is that the city or an individual is only obliged to pay a gas company
a fair price. That can be ascertained only by examining its books to
find the cost of production. But, forgetting that gas companies arc
not private and independent manufacturing or trading companies, but
on the contrary public service corporations, a big gas trust tells the
city that the cost of manufacture of gas is its private matter and
NONE OF THE CITY'S BUSINESS.
When one mans oil is carried to market at 81 a barrel while his
rivals have to pay So nothing is left to them But TO QUIT; that
is the end of rivalry. Railroad companies are not private companies
conducting a private business and free to do as they please. Our iron
roads arc just as much public highways as arc our dirt roads, and tho
people of the country do not propose to see these, their public high
wavs. any longer used to enrich the few at the expense of the many,
and if it cannot be stopped any other way THEN THE GOVERN,
MENT WILL HAVE TO FAKE BACK THESE FRAN
CHISES. If all the evils Of private control of these highways could
have been foreseen the government would never have turned them
over to private individuals. Sc
NY OWN IDEA is THAT THE GOVERNMENT SHOULD APPOINT
THE GENERAL FREIGHT AGENT OF EVERY RAILROAD IN THE
COUNTRY AND IN THAT. WAY BE ABLE TO SEE THAT NO DIS
EXAMINATION WHATEVER BE GIVEN IN FREIGHT RATES; THAT
THE ESTABLISHED RATE AND NO OTHER RATE BE PAID BY
EVERY ONE.

Former Assemblyman Alexander
r. Fordyce, Jr., has announced him
self a candidate for state senator TO
succeed Senator Jackson, as Middle
sex's representative in the upper
house of the legislature. Mr.. Fordyce
makes his appeal direct to the people.
This means he will accept none of
Theodore Strong's dictation, but will
give the people an opportunity to rid
themselves of all boss rule if they so
desire.
In other words, MiddleseX has a
Colby of her own. Mr.. Fordyce is
going to attempt to do in this county
exactly what Colby did in Essex. He
is going to fight the machine and
stand by the people. Evidently this
may be take to mean that the Colby
movement has at last reached Middle
sex.
In the announcement of his candi-
dacy Mr.. Fordyce names no platform
other than a war on "bossism." He
states: 'Bossism and graft, going
hand in hand, have been undermining
the very foundation of representative
government in this commonwealth
Mr.. Fordyce made an excellent i'm
preston throughout the county when
lie ran for the assembly. He came
into this section utterly unknown,
but was soon the most popular man
on the ticket. He ran ahead of all
the other candidates in the election.
in the legislature Mr.. Fordyce did
excellent work and was noted for his
independent stand and good work for
the people. He has always been men
toned as the logical one to carry out
the Colby idea in Middlesex and he
has now placed himself in the hands
of the people, independent of party
machine.
This means a bitter fight in Mid
dlesex this fall. Theodore Strong will
khave the fight of his life. For him it
a ease of defeat Fordyce in the
Apunty convention or join the ranks
With Major Carl Lentz. At the same
Etime ii mean a split in the republican
party and the democrats will evident
ly get busy with the hope of winning.
In any event the campaign for state
senator in Middlesex may be said to
be opened and it will grow warmer
the date for the primaries APP
