THE HAYWOOD JURY

The verdict Of acquittal in the
Haywood case did not come as sur.
prise. To those who followed the
trial during its eleven weeks duration,
and who read with horror the revolt
ing testimony of Harry Orchard con-
corning the crimes of which he boast
ed, it was hard TO- believe that the
jury could do other than return ver
dict of not guilty. or disagree.
The statements Of two of the jur-
ors show what an impossible task the
state had in attempting to secure
conviction. o. v. Severn, juror No. s,
was quoted as saying at the conclu~
sion Of the trial that "he would not
hang the devil on the testimony of
Harry Orchard" S. F. Russell juror
No. /. said that IF the defense had
not put in any evidence the verdict
would have been the same"
If the state had corroborated Or,
chard's testimony by decisive
evidence instead Of by a
maze of circumstantialities that
resulted in befuddling the mind rather
than pointing to any definite conclu-
sion, the jury might have been justi-
fed in finding the defendant guilty.
But Orchards bloody story alone. with
his statements that he committed
twenty-one murders, had a guilty
knowledge Of thirty-two and that the
assassinations he had plotted or knew
about exceeded one hundred, proved
nothing more than that Harry Or.
chard is blood-stained murderer and
should pay the penalty for his crimes.
Some day 1t may develop that Or.
chard was not alone in his
crimes and that conspir.
acy did exist to remove
some Of the principals in the labor
war that has left It's blood stains in
Colorado and Idaho. But until there
is conclusive proof Of this there
should be no conviction, even though
foul murders may for time 60 un.
| avenged.

CROPS SHOW
ADVANCEMENT
LIGHTER RAINFALL DURING PAST
WEEK HAS AIDED GROWTH
REPORT OF IOWA BUREAU
For week ending July 80, 1907.

fOr week ond1nS July SOt 1SVi.
Des Moines, Iowa.
The average temperature of the
week was slightly below the normal.
Showery weather prevailed from Tues
day to Friday. but the rainfall was
generally much less than In the pre-
ceding two weeks. The heaviest show
ers occurred in the north central dis.
trict. The week closed with fair
weather, and as whole 1t was favor.
able for the growing crops IN the
larger part of the state. Except on
low, wet ground the corn crop has
made very rapid advancement, having
generally reached the tasseling stage.
On well-drained and thoroughly cult
waited lands it gives promise Of fair
yield under normal conditions in the
balance of the season. Work in tho
harvest fields has been resumed wher'
ever the soil is sufficiently dry. Re.
ports Indicate that considerable hay
has been damaged. and in some local
tiles small grain in shock has suffered
material loss. There are numerous re-
ports Of rust in oats and spring wheat
which will possibly impair the quality
Of the grain. With better weather fos
the harvest in the future, the final
out put is likely to exceed the present
expectations.

ers the ground at this time of year and
the beautiful fields of wheat and oats
wave and glisten in the sunlight The
pastures and hay fields are green.
Larges groves and hedges make
pleasant contrast to the beautiful
scene as far as the eye can reach.
The song of birds and the hum of in
sects fill the air and all nature beams
with life. Iowa is in the full bloom
OF her youth and can be compared To
nothing more readily than maiden
in her teens. You love her because
she is young and beautiful, before tho
hand Of time and care have fallen up.
on her tender shoulders. When the
harvest comes you begin to think Of
the mature man or woman, and as 1t
eliminates you realize that the fruit
time Of life has arrived and that the
reaper. which IN life is death, in the
field OF grain is the sickle. OF all
the times of year in Iowa June and
July are most beautiful. 1t is the time
of growth, of life. of energy, Of ev-
erything that we think of when we
wish to progress. Talk about summer
resorts. of sea shores, of mountain
scenery or ride on the billowy deep,
there is nothing more invigorating
than a drive through the country at
this time of year. If you wish to sec
nature in the height of it's glory, in
the full fruition of its vigorous young
life. you can see 1t in Iowa just now.
To appreciate it best you should get
up early in the morning, say at 4
o'clock and let old glory light up
this picturesque landscape for you.

The pastor OF a Kansas City.

The pastor OF a Kansas City, Kas.,
church has placed a ban on short
sleeves. In announcing from the pull
pit his decision as to what should and
what should not be worn in his con-
gregation, he said:
1.-THE short sleeve is proper in its
place. but that place is in the kitchen
and at the washtub at home. The mod
est housewife will even roll down
the sleeves of her waist when within
her own home at a knock on the
door. She realizes the immodesty Of
failure to do 80. I cannot conceive
how the same women, possessed with
like modesty, can enter the church
at sacred service with less care" :.
The Kansas City pastor would not
cause surprise If he insisted that the
bald headed men in his congregation
wear their hats during service, fearing
to shock some Of his modest parish
toner's
