session was called to allow the pro

express their views Most of the
speeches yesterday were heard BY

The effect Of the maximum and

the conferees, was the chief subject
of discussion. Senator Beverage uEs
dertcok to show that Mr.. Aldrich iu-
terpreted that provision as practical
ly guaranteeing all the results that
could be obtained through a tariff
commission. Mr. Hale at great
length opposed that view, arguing
that exactly the opposite purpose was
in the minds of the house conferees,
whose views have been adopted. He
insisted that they carefully avoided
giving any authority to the president
by which he could gather information
on which another revision o! the tariff
could be based.

With TheLegislators

The professional juror got a hard
jolt, Saturday when the house passed
a bill abolishing him. You have all
seen the hanger-on in the court room
who is always there when court is in
session. He is there, of course, in the
hope that there will be a vacancy on
a jury and that he will be called to
fill 1t. He is usually a man who can
be bought or handled by any person
who has business in court and in many
instances he is there because some
corporation or some other person in
terested in a law suit has hired him to
favor it in case he gets on the jury.
This picture is not overdrawn in the
least The professional Juryman is a
menace to justice and always has been.
But this bill puts him out of busiess
1t was introduced in the senate by SEN
ator Harlan Of this county, and it pro-
vides that whenever there is vacancy
on a jury the jury commissioners shall
draw names to fill such vacancies. This
does away with the professional jury

called. Lawyers of the state viii ap-

There is movement on foot among
the officers of the State Federation Of
Labor to organize party of their own
and get into politics. 1t is said that
a meeting will be held in Indianapolis
during this week for the purpose of
outlining plans for the organization of
such a party. Disappointment over the
failure of the democrats Of the house
to pass a number of bills which labor
asked for is the cause of the move. The
labor party will take part in the In
dianapolis city campaign first and then
get ready for the next state campaign.
