WOMEN PAY MORE.
Why Insurance Companies DlserlmI
nate Against the Gentle Sex.


Medical examiners OF insurance
ompanies say that the reason woman
pays more for the privilege OF insur-
ance than a man, is from the fact
that women more readily fall victims
to indigestion and stomach troubles
and the fatal ailments that spring
from these causes.
All persons, they say, who have a
weakened digestive system and suf-
fer from sick headache, dizzy spells.

the eyes, bloating, nervousness, sleep

toms of Indigestion, soon lower the

THE JURY SYSTEM.

After all the delay and the trouble
experienced in securing Jury for the
trial OF man charged with q serious
crime in Idaho, the hearing may sud.
denly terminate any day by the illness
OF one member OF the panel. The same
thing has happened not inlrequently
before. especially In trials OF similar
Importance and magnitude when the
examination Of witnesses dragged on
indefinitely. Under the law twelve men
must hear the evidence and decide as
to the guilt or Innocence OF the ac-
cused. The suggestion has often been
made that 1t would be n wiser plan to
nave thirteenth, or substitute juror,
who shall be required to sit with the
twelve. but without the right to express
an opinion unless he Is Instructed by
the court to serve In the absence Of
one OF the twelve who had to be en-
| cused. How the law Is to DO changed
SO that this plan may become opera
tive is left to the Legislative function
of government, but there Is undoubted
wisdom In the suggestion by outsiders
that the revised system would be bcno-
fetal. without prejudice to the rights
OF the prosecution or the defense.
The Haywood jury is composed OF
men who have been accustomed to out.
door life. Confinement, n change OF
surroundings, different quarters api

constantly upon them, point the wa,

CONTEMPT OF COURT.

The decision of the Court Of APP
peals in the Yoder contempt case, from,
tho Corporation Court Of Lynchburg,
closes up many doubts and uncertain-
ties touching that subject. This pa
per has never believed that the power
to punish summarily for contempt was
ever conferred to protect Judge from
criticism. or for any purpose save that
Of preventing any ,nisbehavior which
would obstruct or interrupt the ad-
ministration Of justice. The statute
is very plain. It provides that judges
may punish summarily for contempt
"only in the following instances":
Misbehavior in the courtroom or so
near thereto as to obstruct or inter-
rupt the administration Of justice.
Violence, or threats Of violence to a
Judge or officer Of the court, or to a
Juror. witness or party going to, at
tending or returning from the court,
for or in respect of any act or pro-
ceedng had, or to be had, In such
court.
Obscene, contemptuous or insulting
language addressed to judge for or
in respect Of any act or proceeding
had, or to be had, in such court, or
like Language used in his presence and
intended for his hearing, for or in re-
spect Of such act or proceeding.
Misbehavior Of an officer OF the
court in his official character. DISC
| bedience or resistance Of an officer OF
the court. juror, witness or other per-
son to any lawful process, Judgment,
decree or order of the said court.
And the Constitution confers upon
the Legislature the power to regulate
the exercise by courts OF the right to
punish for contempt. s.i
1t IS manifest from the language OF
| the statute that its object is to pro-
| tect the court and not the Judge. It
does not exempt the Judge. from criti.

ing the people hundreds Of thousands
OF dollars year more than the work
would cost If let to contract. If the
cost OF the janitor service at the City
Hall Is q fair sample, we are quite
prepared to believe that the statement
OF Mr.. Peters is not an exaggeration.
A contractor offered to perform that
service for something moro than half
tho amount now expended by the city.
This brings to tho front again the
Texas plan Of municipal government.
1t is authoritatively stated that the
cost Of operating q certain department.
In the city OF Houston cost under the
old plan $15,445.4o and yielded gross
revenue OF $le,7e1.50, q net revenue OF
$l,sle10. Under the commission plan
the cost Of operation was, s11,o74S1
and the gross earnings s16,es2.75, show
Ing net revenue OF s5.801.19. The
decrease in cost OF operation. we are
assured, was due solely to the opera.
ton Of a better system.
The difference Is that under the new
system operation Is according to the
rules of business. All the business az
fairs of the city are carried on by q
council OF five practical mon, who give
their entire time to the city's work.
They are continuously in session, and
when q citizen wishes to do business
with the city, he goes before tho coun-
ell and settles the matter. then and
there, instead Of having the matter
go Through the regular channel Of
reference to committee, discussion
of the report on the floor OF the Coun-
Gil chamber and all manner Of absurd
red-tape proceedings.
The Texas plan Is sensible, expe-
ditious and buslness-like. Why will it
not operate in Richmond as we'll as
1t operates In Houston and Galveston !?
