Evidence, the word is sickenlng, II
it means that it is to represent the
whitewashing excuse for a crime such
as was Dryers. The idea, that
DIVER was absolutely innocent of
committing a crime is 50 prepostrous
that all talk concerning the evidence
produced to that effect is ridiculous.
it falls of it's W weight. 1t might
as well be said that a Jury decided
that black was not black, but that
it was white. because there was evl-
dence produced to show that black
was white.
A poor excuse, it is said, is better
than zone. but it were better said,
that no excuse is better than a poor
me-. The Free Press gives a poor
excuse when it says the jury in the
DIVER trial found their verdict, view
ing the evidence as the light of God
gave them to see it.

AGE AND

We can. almost all of us, recall the
childish years when we looked upon
the age of thirty as being the end of
all real living, romance, adventure and
achievement must surely lie behind
that tremendous accredition of time.
We can, many of us, recall the youth
full absurditity and unfinished sen
sations with which we paced the
mark, and found romance as alivS
as ever, adventure offering at every
turn. achievement-any that should
count at all,-still hidden in the dim
folds of the future, and life growing
distinctly more enjoyable day by day
The childish IMAGINATION can hardly
be stretched to allow for the awaken
ing of the impersonel, intellectual
curiosity, which is the handspring of
age. and which does more than any
one thing in life unless it he the IN
born capacity for love and trust, to
make life an enjoyable affair. TO
be able to look out and beyond our
own part and parcel in life, and see
the moation of life itself waving
among the human puppets, to love
form and color and stand for Their
own sake. to find the sincere rec
ord of other lives as instinct with
interest as our own, to see, to smell,
to hear, to preserve life w~isely-is to
gain a broader swath than in child
hood we ever dreamed of.
"What is done is done at 30 said
a most famous jurist, overlooking a
flock of his youthful kith and kin,
seis not lone at ALL There is truth
and untruth in the assertion Genius
indeed has usually given a sign-and,
most often, an uncomfortable one at
30. But life is a long ladder and the

good prose cannot be written under

velopment. Nearly all of the voca-
tions that call for the handling of men

develop their talents much later In
life than men, owing probably to the
sheltered lives which most OF them
lead; the pancity of their exercises,
the narrowness of their culture, and
the meager demand made upon them.

The Silver State News, through the
ceusure of the twelve men of Elko
county who declared Patsy Dwyer an
innocent man. has engendered the
wrath of the Elko Free Press, whose
editor INDUCES himself at some length
in nonsensical, yet amusing, harangue.
The editor of the Free Press, pub
lished in the charming little Elko
county village, is hopelessly given to
ranting when engaged in a newspaper
discussion. and his i~nsinuations con
corning the mental equilibrium OF one
of the editors of the Silver STATE
News, and the writer of the article,
censuring the "justice loving DWyer
iuryD of Elko county, must perforce
be considered as to its source, ana
therefore given no attention here.
But the Press would defend the men
who sat upon the Dwyer jury, and
sent him. thrice a murderer, forth
TO prev again upon society. 1--WE will
cav, states the Free Press, THAT the
men who composed the jury which
tried Patsy Dwyer are men of a hlgh
order of intelligence and represent the
best type of American citizenship;
men who would be a credit and honor
TO Humboldt county or any county OF
the United States. In rendering their
verdict they based it upon the evil
dence produced at the trial and IN
structions given by the court. Hardy
a man had heard any of the facts OF
the case prior to the trial, n none
knew anything of Dwyer's past llfc
or reputation. But had they been
made acquainted with these they
would nevertheless have been guided
by the evidence produced at the trial;
they would have done their sworn
duty as God gave them light to see
it
The Silver State News is unac-
ouainted with the p%ersonel of the men
who composed the Dwyer jury, and
has nauoht to say against them per-
s~onally, but it reserves the right to
criticise their act which was a dagger
thrust at law-abiding citizenship. The
damnable guilt of Dwver. a Guilt that
was so patent and so evident that the
works of the deveil could not obscure
It. and vet the Free Press insinuates
that the light of God could not re-
veal it unto those twelve men.
In favor of a conviction the jury
had Eerore Inem Ihdt, u rouiuel, q
gambler. a parasite upon society, with
murder in his heart and a murderous
weapon in his hend. shot and killed
an upright citizen. In defense of the
slayer, they had the attempted proof
that he had alcoholic insanity at the
time he committed the deed; in other
words, that he was crazy drunk Upon
this the jury reached a verdict, and
in reaching it they said that if a
leech upon society gets crazy drunk
he can go out and shoot down an nom
est and upright man without COM
hitting any crime. Was that an in
telligent verdict? we ask the Free
Press. Was that such an unanimous
verdict as should come from twelve
men who represent the highest type

From the San Jose Mercury.
At this season of the year we al
WAYS have some people who are out
of work. and who because OF enforced
;dleness. find it hard to live. But this
wear the number is very much larger
than usual, and, as the price of the
necessities of life are very high, the
conditions are peculiarly trying. The
same conditions prevail all over the
land. In ever part OF the coun'rV
especially in the laroe cities, towns
and the manufacturing districts
great numbers are out of employment.
This is mainly due, no doubt, to the
financial stringency of the last rev
months, and the conditions are hkeiy
to continue for some time to come.
Business interests seldom revive IN a
wear of a presidential election. We
ouoht not to exaggerate the situation.
nor ought we to try and 1t up
and lie about it. 1t is useless and
cowardlv to deceive ourselves. The
brave and honest thing to do IS to
confess the facts, and then adjust our
selfes to them until they can be
mended.
We are confronted with a eondi-
t;on the like of which we have not
seen in many years For twelve years
at least. we have had u~nexampIad
prosperity. The whole country Vls
been fairly humming. We have been
running under a pressure and at a
gait which no wise man could expect
rs to continue and keep up forever.
Now we have simply slowed down.
This is not exhiliarating. OF course,
hut there is nothing alarming or re-
markable abb IT is causing some
Inconvenience and some complaint.
We are suffering much less than they
are in some communities, but it is
felt everywhere. The esource of the
country are as great as they ever were
and there is no famine, no drouth,
no pestilence, no war. We are sim
ply taking a breathing spell. but
after what we have been used to for
some years it is not easy for us TO
accept the changed conditions badl-
emily and ~hilosophically. If we had
never known anything else we would
have been satisfied.
The unpleasant feature of the cur
ren+ condition = enforced idle
ness. with it's attendant privations
and hardships. falls most heaviiy on
those who are least able to bear it.
II is roA - millionaires and others
who have ample fortune who are the
chief sufferers. They may be making
less money, but still they can manage
to keep house, and we need not be
very much troubled about them Nor
even are small farmers, tradesmen
and skilled mechanics in a very trying
position. For several years they have
had LARGE earnings and high wages,
and if they have been fairly frugilc
and thrifty they have something laid
away. and can afford to be out of
work for a little while without hav-
ing to undergo any verv severe PR
~vations 1t is upon the immense null
titude of plain laborcrs or unskeiled
wage carriers that the burden Of the
present conditions rail- most heavily.
While constantly employed they are
able by close economy they are able
to live and supper. their families in
decency and comfort. but they could
not accumulate a surplus. They are
the last to be hired when business is
brisk. and they are the first to be
discharged when the business condi-
tions allow Of their being dismissed.

The New Paramount.

On a platform containing much that
is old TO his followers and not a lit.
tie that is new, the Democratic party,
as represented in the convention at
Denver, has done the expected and
nominated Mr.. Bryan for the third
time. There will be time to talk of
the ticket when the second place upon
it has been filed For the present there
IS interest enough in the platform.
From a twelve hours study of it, not
the revision of the tariff downward,
not the publicity of campaign contri-
buttons, not the twilight zone" or
Federal license, not the proposed in
come tax, will be the plank most dis
cussed. That will be the remarkable,
plain spoken, and yet carefully guarded
declaration as to injunctions. And
though a campaign waged on that
question will leave almost untouched
issues which might be discussed TO the
DemocracY's great profit, there is yet a
justification in good politics for the
situation the party has thus brought
lnto existence.
No declaration is made as to notice
in injunction proceedings. This may
& be due to inability in the committee
TO agree as 70 the number of days such
notice should cover. But the omission
can hardly be expected to agrieve the
labor leaders. For the platform advo-
Gates Enthusiastically trial by jury in
cases of indirect contempt of court in
labor cases, and declares that injunc-
lions should not issue at all where
"injunctions would not issue if no in
dustrial dispute were involved"
The candidate against whom this
declaration is directed has, in his
former capacity as Federal judge, not
only issued injunctions, but given the
law a new and wider reading as to
them. As far as platform phraseology
can shape a campaign, therefore, it
.would seem that the leaders at Denver
have been able to choose the battle
ground and put the enemy on the de-

FRIDAY EVENING. JULY 10. 1908
The Demand for Change.

The Times does not believe that the
present District government Is perfect
Nor does it believe that any other
human agency is perfect. But it does
believe that the government OF the
District of Columbia is on the whole
exceptionally clean and effective and
that a movement TO correct such de
fects as it may have should be under
taken by officials and people with the
calmest, most dispassiOnate, most
earnest purpose to be sure of our
ground as we go ahead
In that position The Times is sat
isfed it has the endorsement OF all its
readers. To them. therefore, which
means to all the people Of the Dis
trio of Columbia, this paper offers the
following suggestion;
/ That the solid Improvement Of the
District government cannot best be
achieved by a campaign from which
human nature could hardly shut out a
spirit of retaliation.
The reference-and it is made with
out i'll feeling-is, of course, to that
one of our contemporaries which has
beea sweeping in its denunciatiOn Of
the present government and Jealous
in obtaining interviews designed to
sustain it in the position that almost
any change would be an improvement.
That contemporary has revealed q
close utilization with the Washington
and Georgetown Gas Light companies
The difficulty of keeping its judgment
clear of gas company bias was shown
by the fact that throughout a long
hura over a proposal to increase
the latter corporations capital stock
onl, the most meager references to the
proceedings appeared in our eontem-
porary's news columns.
In the course of that litigation the
present Commissioners of the District
took leading part. The chief effect
of their activity was to Illustrate the
plan of the gas company for a practical
doubling OF tie stock upon which con
sumers of gas must pay interest. I'm
der such circumstances there is only
common sense in a warning that the
adverse judgment upon such officials
of a newspaper 50 affiliated and so
operated cannot be accepted unques-
tioningly. Assuredly, such a judg-
ment is a doubtful lead for citizens TO
follow who do not share in the resent
ment our contemporary may reason
ably be suspected of feeling and who
have only the good of the whole Dis
trict at heart
