In the trial of the alleged murderers of Ex-Senator Carmack in Tennessee, there was much trouble in securing a supposedly impartial jury. Of the twelve jurors finally secured, four
 cannot read or write, two can read just little' and the others had not read a word about the tragedy. It is a question whether jury so constitut- ed is properly qualified to decide an issue of life. or death. In fact, the question is not limited to Tennessee. It may reasonably be doubted wheth- CT at any time or place, an unintelli- gent jury can best serve the cause of impartial justice. We use the word "unintelligent'' for the reason that the man who doesn't read newspapers in these days and who is therefore wholly ignorant of current events, cannot be otherwise than mentally "hidebound." It is the judicial custom to exclude from jury service the man who has read newspaper reports of the pend ing case, whatever may be his degree of intelligence or his ability to reach an impartial decision. Pursuance of this custom has resulted in the Ten nessee murder case, in the selection of a jury of virtual ignoramuses who are presumably unable to distinguish between proven facts and empty ora tory and who are consequently unfit for the duty before them.

1.-THE CON1PUL.sIoN.
OF COMPETITION

< Fairly forced to do so by the action of the independent producers of iron and steel, the Steel Trust has finally, and evidently reluctantly, announced an 'topen market"-that is, it's subsi- diaries are now allowed to reduce the prices which have been. so stubbornly lnaintained. at the cost of a prolonga- ton of the industrial depression. Sub staut1al reductions were at once made by the subsidiary corporations in or der to hold their trade from the in- dependents. Whether a rate war will develop, cannot as yet be told.
 NThere is not the least doubt that prices can be heavily cut. and still leave a reasonable profit for producers Thus far, the reductions have not reached steel rails, but does cover structural steel as well as tin plate, steel plate, iron bars, steel billets. etc. These new conditions should stimulate the building trade. and if the reduction should come to affect steel rails rail; way construction and improvements may be removed. provided of course that the roads can float new issues of stock and bonds.
 Indeed, as iron and steel are the raw materials of many industries and con- stitute a factor in probably all, we may now reasonably expect a general revival of industry, though tariff un- certainties may decrease it's volume or delay. it's arrival. There is, however, no expectation of any radical changes in the tariff.
 It is a matter for. general rejoicing that the Steel Trust millstone about the neck of industrial revival has been removed in some degree. The com pulsion of competition accomplished it.
 The Southern Pacific road, has just added $8OO00, GOO in 4 per cent. bonds to the already large mass of ''undi- gested securities upon the market They will doubtless be absorbed soon, for the Southern Pacific is a paying road, but the success of this loan will lessen the chances of other less highly regarded bonds.

Owners of automobiles should, either personally or through their club, put In an appearance at the hearings to be given on March 2 and to cover four hays, upon the numerous measures af- tecting them now pending in the Gen. eraI Assembly. Many of these mea- sures are restrictive-none of them of friendly character. There will be strong effort to establish a definite speed limit which will disregard road or traffic conditions and which name a, certain number of miles per hour. There will also be an effort to levy a graduation tax upon autos, the argu- k1ent being that the lhigh-powered machines when run at high speed, des- troy the road surface and should pay for the damage they do. Unless auto owners appear or are represented at the hearings, their interests may probably will-suffer.

The recent Tariff Commission con- Vention decided, in the probable event of a Congressional refusal to authorize the appointment of an official .commis- sion, to organize an unofficial body which will gather facts for presenta- ton to Congress. This is simply the procurement of tariff information which will probably be exhaustive, by organized body, and its presentation by such body, in place of the piece meal process now in use by interested parties. It hardly needs to be said that such a presentation, accompanied by recommendations, cannot fail to ex- ercise very material influence. There might be a hereafter for those who should wholly disregard the wishes Of

Newspapers receive with much grati- fication the announcement that the special House committee, appointed to consider the exactions of, the Paper Erust, will report in favor of reduc- lion of the tariff duty on newspaper from $6 to g a ton, and will recom- mend free ground wood and chemical wood pulp. If adopted by Congress, these recommendations should compel redmctions from prices which have been forced up to the present over- high figures under prohibitory tariff duties.

Print paper is the raw material of khe newspaper business: Tariff protec- lion of it is not needed, for it was but lately that American print paper was sold abroad at smaller prices than are exacted here.

land is appraised at from 81 to $12 an

The state land board has been sin
gLlarly successful in securing high
prices for the state lands. The state
still owns land valued at $4,000. 900.
While the state administration is anx-
ious to dispose of the lands to en-
courage agriculture and to open new
avenues OF taxation. every precaution
is taken to guard against selling the
land at less than Its actual value. The
records of recent sales show that the
land disposed of has brought higher
prices than property owned by pri-
vate parties In the same vicinity.
Money received from the sale Of
lands can not be used for any purpose
except Investment to provide a reve-
nue. for the public school system. The
principal can not be touched for any

Unusual interest is being mani

Commerce building to general exhib
its Of all classes Of products from the

1t is planned to make this exhibit
the most complete and extensive of
its kind to be seen in the West. and
perhaps in the entire country. Such
an exhibit, which visitors to Denver
will not think of leaving the city with
out visiting. will be one Of the great
est advertisements for the entire state
that could be maintained at any rea-
sonable cost, and it is mainly this ad-
vertising feature which is arousing the
interest OF all sections OF the state in
the proposition.
Some time ago the State CONNER.
cial Association sent out letters to all
its members and to all the commercial
organizations Of the state asking them
to signify whether they desired to
help in getting up such an exhibit
Numerous replies were received. prac-
tically all of which were favorable. SO
that it Is practically assured that the
exhibit plan will be a success.
DR.. F. L. Bartlett, president of the
Chamber of Commerce. has taken spe-
cial interest in the exhibit plan, and is
making an effort to have each county
OF the state furnish a special guard or
custodian for its exhibit. He plans to
have each OF these custodians uni.
formed. and to 10 arrange their duties
that some of them may meet every
train that comes into the city. and to
invite every visitor to stop at the
Chamber of Commerce building and
view the exhibit.
