Jury Trial in Japan.
The people of the Nipponese Empire are con-
templating the introduction of the jury system AS
preliminary, Japanese lawyer has been sent to
this country and Europe to investigate the most
feasible and advanced methods in vogue On his
return to his own country, it is likely that trial by
jury will be recommended Considering the facility
the clever Japs have shown in other respects towards
adopting themselves to modern methods, especially
pertaining to warfare, they will have little difficulty
in accustoming themselves to this bulwark of
civilization.
Trial by jury, with it's concomitant publicity, is
not always nfallible; but it is superior to star
chamber proceedings sunlight is to darkness
While there many shortcomings attributed to the
former, they in6nitesimal when compared to the
Ubiquitous possibilities surrounding the latter 1t is
possible that the Japanese lawyers who intrusted
with drawing up this addition to her judiciary
will eliminate some of it's Objectionable features
They are in position to profit by the long expert.
ence Western nations have had with this SYSTEM and
it this experience is worth anything, their trial by
jury should be up-to-date in every detail.

The recent heated controversy that shocked
those devotees of nature stories still continues
abated, principally by the champions of Mr.. Long
They continue to reiterate that the president is
unqualified critic that he cannot tell the difference
between bedbug and junebug. Outside of natu-
raists very few persons know sufficient of animals
and their ways to be interested in this discussion
Mr.. Long might just we'll be talking about the
teeth possessed by the Fiji islanders to be vast
ing his time trying to convince uneducated public
as to his knowledge of animals.
The animal which the American public is in
tensey interested in at the present time, is the soul
less octopus. Altho everybody are becoming quite
familiar with the playful antics and the benevolent
assimilatng powers of this remarkable beast, they
would feel thankful if they could lead it with chain
Whatever information Mr.. Long might impart anent
the octopus will surely receive the unqualified
dorsement of even President Roosevelt It is so
difficult to get precise information about the methods
of this wonderful animal, that every United States
district attorney has been notified to track it to its
lair So far they have been unsuccessful, but they
have great hopes for the future
