coin will have q salutary effect all
over the country. It ought to be a
warning to jurors to discharge their
full duty when once they get in the
jury room. Too many compromises
are made by jurors either by the flip
of coin or in other improper ways
in arriving at verdfcts. Such verdicts
as these are generally reached by
jurors who are not inclined to spend
the necessary and proper time to
thresh out a case and they invariably
defeat the ends of justice.

APATHY AND REFORM.

Criminal prosecution OF prominent
citizens has become SO common that
the indictment of former governor
Of New Jersey causes only a small
ripple of excitement. Can 1t be that
our healthy present day lust for re-
form in high places will burden itself
to the point where a wearied public
opinion will not be strong enough to
carry it further on its journey? This
may be a pessimistfc assumption that
public righteousness Is primarily a
diversion rather than resistless ma
tural force, but there seem to be
grounds for the apprehension. New
York after cleansing itself of political
corruption, invariably slips back into
the arms of Tammany with the same
sigh of content which might come
from an utterly exhausted man fall
ing asleep in refuse pile. Most OF
New York wearies itself so greatly
with it's own affairs that 1t has little
time for the public veal save when
goaded to anger or spurred on by the
excitement of the chase. So it Is In
degree with the rest Of the nation,
and there is also the menace of that
disregard, which Americans more
than any other people bestow upon
the commonplace AS Mr.. Dooley
once pointed out to the ever handy
Mr. Hennessy: "If We seen man fall
from TIL top av fifteen story build
in 'twould startle We. If We seen the
same thing the mkt day 'twould
amaze We. But If We seen it livery day
for six months ye'd pay so little at
tintion to ut ye'd forgit t. dodge.

Russia's admiralty has an exceed
ingly modest plan for the rebuilding
of the cars navy. 1t calls for the
expenditure during the next ten years
Of a billion and seventy EIGHT million
dollars In restoring the power that
Japan practically annihilated in a few
hours. Considering Russia's financial
plight, the programme is almost ludi-
crous. 1t would seem to indicate that
Russia's statesmen are as lacking in
financial sense as the war with Japan
showed her navy to be lacking in COM

Those friends of President Roose-

plans to give him the Republican
nomination for president in 1915. Mr..
Roosevelt will then be only fiftv-eight
years old, and plenty young enough to
tackle the job. But we would suggest
that the time is premature to discuss
political possibilities for 1916.

Maybe Foraker will be able to get
some satisfaction out Of the fact that

This ought to be extremely gratifying

GOOD TIMES IN SIGHT.

Two months ago the burden of the
business world was that curtailmeut
was necessary. that many men were out
OF work and that the industrial situa-
ton was decidedly weak.
This gloomy tone has ceased and al
most every day now we hear Of new
mills opening, new enterprises resum-
ing and more men being needed to fill
orders which are assuming the old time
proportions.
passed away and the banks are ready
to extend credits whenever the collat-
eral is in sight
Being q presidential year is not
threatening industry as it sometimes
does because there are no well defined
issues to worry the business world.
About the only politics going On now
clearly what the difference between the
two party platforms will be.
There Will be no heated quarrel over
any issues yet In sight, and business
IS not perplsxed on account of the year
being a political one. The hustle and
stir OF the conventions and campaign
will lend to the industry this year
rather than detract from it.
OF one thing the country may feel
assured and that is that both parties
will demand stricter economy in public
affairs, and graft will be denounced by
all parties. This will shut out some
business and reduce extravaganza. but
no honest industry will suffer from a
campaign that is based upon righteous
ness.
The indications are that instead OF
depressing industry, this presidential
year will give it impetus-Wichfta
Beacon.
IN A BAD WAY.
The country must really be In a bad
way. judging from the numerous inves-
LEGATIONS and exposures which form the
theme OF SO many newspaper dis
patches.
OF course every doctor has his rem
edy, and most Of the remedies are nos
trums.
Some day 1t will occur to somebody
in authority that when the women vote
everywhere as freely as men. a lot Of
evils VIII die Of hamilton; for women
are unalterably opposed to every evil
that tnfects or threatens this country
today.
The clean. moral sentiment of women
might be the greatest possible force in
accomplishing reforms In this country
reforms which are admittedly neces-
sary; but the lawmakers haven't over
come the time-worn superstition that
woman isn't capable Of anything high
er than paying taxes.-Emporia Gazette.
KNOW THEIR BUSINESS.
There is some criticism of the
DemocratS because this county went
on record as being for ]. G. johnson

that since the state convention is to

been In better taste for the county
convention to have given no fnstruc
lions on this place, but the bosses of
the convention figured that johnson
would get the job hands down and
they didn't see why they shouldn't bid
