HAYWOOD CASE AND JURY
SYSTEM.

The acquittal of William d. Haywood
in the now famous case, in which three
members Of the Western Federation OF
Miners were charged with conspiracy
to murder Ex-Governor Steuaenberg,
gives rise to the various arguments pro
and CON in regard to our present jury
system. On smaller scale the acquittai
Of respondents in the local city court
gives rise to the same arguments. Many
there be who see in each verdict Of ae-
quittal the failure OF the jury system.
They point to the fallibility of human
Judgment and especially mans proneness
to sacrifice absolute fidelity to his oath
in favor Of brotherly feeling toward
a fellow. being in distress. And they
say that the system of trying men be-
fore the Judgment OF their fellow-men
is a failure for those reasons. But
they offer no substitute. Until we are
Judged by higher authority, there can
be no more equitable plan Of trial, 1t
seems to us, than TO submit the case
to the arbitration Of twelve impartial
Judges, men who are taken from the
various walks Of life and men who, in
q far as possible have no prejudice IN
the matter. When a better plan shall
have been devised then there will be
time TO carp against the system which
places man before his peers before
as honest, upright men as this world
affords In the particular case referred
to, that Of Haywood, the iurymen were
competent fair.minded citizens, taken
for the most part from those walks Of
life which might be the least affected
by the play on the chord Of labor I'M
ions, either for or against Hence, the
verdict for the accused man seems to
have been not failure Of the jury
system, but a vindication Of il II any
thing.
If there were any people also in the
United States who thought really that
the scales Of justice in case Of this
tremendous Importance tipped too read.
lily one way or the other, then they
ought TO take fresh hold on belief IN
the integrity Of American justice. Judg-
ing from their talk and printed word,
It was surlnised on the part Of few

fare against another organization that
it would weigh against the accused man.
But the results and the conduct Of the
trial show that the question of the
mans guilt or innocence was divorced
from the mere fact Of his connection
with labor union Of itself. In other
words, a trades unionist stands rs well
in the eyes Of The average jury as the
employing class. There was, Of neces
sity the bringing up Of union matters
because it was alleged that through hi4
