GOLDEN RULE INFERIOR TO
THE LAW OF EQUAL FREEDOM

PASADENA, Nov. SO-[Editor Her
ADJ L detest personalities, especially
in argument. They invariably are sig
nificant of intellectual faculties poorly
balanced. But such is the pefversity of
human nature, and so irresistible are
the temptations of saying something
"smarty' that at last I myself must
fall under the same condemnation. But
my personalities at least are not mixed
up with argument.

tions, and at last, Eureka, l have
found it, in the Box of November rs.

bow. 1 lift my hat. You have pointed
out very important truth, viz, that
the Golden Rule Is crude and made
quate for the general guidance OF con-
duct under the complex conditions OF
Individual, national or international

this purpose inferior to the law OF

Jury REFORM

~ TUDENTS of sociology are alarmed
to find that while in every other
~ country in the civilized world
crime is on the decrease, in the United
States and in the state of California
it seems to be constantly ON the in
crease, not only absolutely, but in pro-
portion to population. No improvement
in criminal law can be made that is in
conflict with the present provisions Of
the constitution.
Some amendments to the constitution
have been suggested, having in view
greater efficiency in the administration
of the law. One of the amendments
deals with prevention Of miscarriages
of justice caused by jury disagree
ments. 1t suggests that three-fourths
of a jury may render a verdict. In
one of the countries of the race which
uses the English language for literary
and general purposes the jury system
has been amended for so many years
that the Inconvenience and failures
caused by the English and American
Jury system are unknown. The Scot
fish jury system is arranged to pre-
vent delays and expedite justice. There
are three possible verdicts, Guilty"
mot Guilty" and mot Proven" There
are fourteen men on the jury, and in
reaching a verdict the majority sys-
tenn is followed. When a verdict is
rendered it stands. There is no ideal
jury system, and there never win he
until there is ideal human nature and
perfect men are put in the jury box.
But. "year in and year out and all the
year round" in practice the Scotch
Jury system gives much better results
than the American.

WANTS TO KNOW WHY PAPERS
FAVOR JOHNSoN'S LEADERSHIP

SAN JACINTO, Nov. 3O.-[Editor
Herald: Shortly after the last cleo
ton editorials appeared in the Los An
geles Times National Tribune, New
York World, Tammany Times and
many others referring to John A. John
son as the new leader of the Democ-
racy.
The character of these papers, and
their haste to proclaim him leader,
arouses the suspicion that Johnson
would be either a weak candidate or
one whose election would be agreeable
to their common masters.

It is told Of the youth of a young German

occasion, his tutor having been changed. the
newcomer in examining the young prince,
asked:

royal promptness.
The tutor paled, but recovered his
equanimity.

ASSESS AT CASH VALUE

Before the county assessors final
ly got through with the question of
property valuation at their Boise
meeting they decided to list all prop
erty at Its actual value, according to
law. We do not believe this is prac-
tical or just, for the simple reason
that some counties in the state will
not comply with the law and the
counties which do will pay more
than those which do not make the
full assessment. At best the taxa
ton cannot be made equitable and
for this reason law that puts fair
valuation on property is more easily
enforced. However, one of the best
ways to secure q change in bad law
Is to strictly enforce 1t. and this re-
suit may follow II property is asses

The Conouest of the Sea.

continent and discovered the Philip

ing admiral lost his life. Had this
pioneer ship never been heard OF after
entering the strait which bears the
name Of It's -Magellan--it
would not have been deemed an ex-
taordlnary calamity. The navigator
Of those days took desperate chances.
Yet that one vessel was Spain's repre-
sentative Of sea power upon the ocean

Today a battle feet Is on it's way to
