how in the world is justice to be meted
QUIZ" In Chicago. at the close of
criminal case, the judge said, 4 do
not see how twelve intelligent men
could return this verdict"
But the criticism of juries is by no
means confined to the judiciary, or to
the legal fraternity. We often hear
laymen. even when they have not fol-
lowed closely the court proceedings.
when they are not at all familiar with
the evidence, make bitter comments on
the findings of juries. 1t is doubtless
true that many miscarriages of justice
are due to our jury system. Some very
good students have gone so far as to
DECLARE that it should be abolished.
They have said that in both civil and
criminal cases the judge should be the
sole arbiter.
The records of the courts, however,
go to show that reversals by higher
courts are granted far more often be-
judge than by the jury. We rarely
comparatively speaking, hear of a YER
diet being set aside because it was not
in accordance with the evidence. The
jury is sworn to try case according
TO the law and the evidence. 1t is the
sole judge on the point as to whether
or not. the evidence is sufficient to war
rant a verdict for or against a defend
ant. The jury must get its law from
the instructions of the court, and, ac-
cording TO the records of the higher
tribunals. the trial court is very much
oftener wrong in its Interpretation of
the law than the jury in its under
standing of the facts.
The jury system cannot be blamed
when court of appeals orders a new
trial, because the judge in, the first in
stance has caused something to be
done or left something undone that
constitutes a reversible error. We need
not go beyond our own state to md il

employees. Upon his first trial, he was
convicted and sentenced to die.
The supreme court ordered a new
trial and stated distinctly that the YER
dict was not reversed because the rec
ord did not show conclusively that the
man was guilty. but because there
were trifing technical errors in the
general proceedings. And let it be re-
membered that these errors in no way
jeopardized the legal rights of the de-
PENDANT. The jury in the second trial,
is perhaps en- 10 censure, because il

was guided by it and the prisoner was
given a life sentence. There was no
second appeal, the defendant counting
himself lucky TO escape the death
penalty.
Instances like this could be multi

in the courts of other states. 1t is not

failure because of them.

THE JURY SYSTEM.

A lawyer with caustic mind recent
" made some comments on our jury
system. He traced the derivation of
the word verdict which comes from
yerum. true, and dictum, said He
went on to say that this did not by
any means mean that the verdict of
The jury was true. 1t was only true
that the jury said it. The tendency
IN crfticise the findings of juries IS
very widespread. Recently a judge at
Fort Dodge, Ia, rebuked jury in
these words IF verdicts are to he
returned in disregard of the evidence.

This i. Different.

New York, Sept 16.-Is the North
western to acquire the Northern Pa
cific?
Surface indications lead to this con-
clusion.
1t is said that in order to meet the
competition Of the Chicago, Milwaukee
& st. Paul road and to avoid the
building of another and competing line
to the coast, the Standard Oil interests
in the Northwestern have been nego-
tiating with j. p. Morgan and ]. j.
Hill for the purchase of the certificates
of the Northern Pacific, and that the
deal has been closed.
If true. the acquisition of the North
ern Pacific by the Northwestern would
eliminate another competing line over
the north transcontinental route, and
this is said to have been the princi-
pal reason for transferring the Nor
thern Pacific by the Great Northern
and Burlington interests.
The Chicago & Northwestern is
forced to extend to the Pacific coast,
but by the acquisition Of the Northern
Pacific and the extension Of its line
north from Leander, Wyo., this end
may be accomplished and at the same
time furnish q valuable feeder from the
south.
There is no obstacle in the way OF
carrying out such a deal. The obliga-
ton of the Northern Pacific to the
Burlington road may be Cancelled at
any time by the purchase Of the Bur-
lington bonds at 105.

but it is now said that plans have
been perfected by which the Union
Pacific will secure absolute control OF
the Northwestern thru guarantee ups
on the stocks of the latter company
Nothing confirmatory of this story
has been officially obtained, but in
some important quarters such de-
velcpment as is herein suggested is
regarded as we'll within the bounds OF
possibility within comparatively short
time.
The strategic position of the Chicago
& Northwestern railway system is such
that it is not believed that a union OF
the two roads would come within the
prohibition of control or merger OF
parallel and competing lines, altho 1t
is true that an extension of the North
western has been carried thru North
err. Nebraska and the central part OF
Wyoming on lines lateral to the ex-
treme eastern part of the Union Pa
cific.
1t is recognized that the Union Pa
cific could not secure a lease or con-
troll of the Chicago & Northwestern
without very substantial guarantee
of Dividends on the latter's stock.

Bryan RelittIe. Iaft.

Kingston, N. Y, Sept. 16.-Bryan, in
an address here before great crowd,
warned his hearers not to allow the
republican leaders to scare them away
from support Of the democratic ticket
by threats of a panic. He referred
to Taft as "Mr. Roosevelt's appointee."
and said the presidents endorsement
of Taft "is an endorsement Of a polit-
ical bankrupt, against whom you can
not collect even If you tried" Bryan
expressed qualification that the east
and west were this year united and
harmoniously fighting in defense Of
the democratic platform. He closed
by telling his audience that everywhere
in the United States, the trend is in
favor Of the democratic party, and
that in no state in the union was the
republican party gaining in either
strength or votes. There was but one
explanation, he said, which was, that
the republican party had been weighed
in the balance and found wanting.

Grand Marais Blaze.
Duluth. MINI, Sept. 16.--A settler
named Monker, and six Indians, are
believed to have perished in the flames
at Grand Marais, according to the re-
ports brought back by the militia men

evening with a new supply Of provis-.
ions, for the officers claim that the
danger is not yet over.
The little settlement Of Lutxn, they
say. is doomed, and II strong breeze

izens have all their household goods
piled along the shore and are doing
nothing but fight the afimes back.
Monker and the six Indians started
inland to save settlers cabin q short.
distance from town. A wall Of naIne
shot in behind them, shutting them on
completely and It Is believed they have
perished. The officers say that Grand
Marais harbor is like an inferno, with
the hills all around it lighted up with
roaring flames. The smoke was so thick
1t suffocated the fire fighters, and at
times it was impossible to see from the.
bow to the stern Of the boat. The men
are exhausted from their long battle,
but are going back to remain until the
town is destroyed or the danger Is
