OUR JURY SYSTEM

In dismissing the Pat Calhoun jury in San Francisco the other day, Judge Lawor said, among other things, this:
 ''There must be something wrong in the
 laws of state, where it takes three months
 to impanel jury to try any issue, and l
 think that the necessity of the hour is that
 the people should take some steps toward
 the simplifcation of judicial procedure, so
 that instead of occupying three months to
 procure jury it could be secured in as
 many days. If that be done, and if rules
 which are savshly followed today because
 they have been adopted in the remote past
 were modified, there would be less occasion
 to complain of the hardships incident to
 the discharge of jury service and the dura-
 tion of judicial proceedings. ,
 There is something radically wrong when such state of things obtain as that developed in the Calhoun trial, and the sooner rules of practice are so reformed that they will tend to simplify the methods of jury selection, not only in California, but in practically every other state in the union, just so much sooner will the administration of exact justice between man and man be approximated in this country.
 There ought to be no sort of trouble about promptly securing a jury competent from ev cry standpoint to try any defendant save in the most extraordinary circumstances, perhaps. And there would be no trouble if the state were fair to itself in the same proportion that it strives to be fair to the defendant We make great to do about the "rights of the accused" in the United States, but we concern ourselves scantily at best about the rights of society at large. The state practically, if not quite, with out exception, denies itself any appeal what ever in criminal procedure, but it grants the ac- cused thousand. No technicality can be in voked to secure the state of California a fur ther hearing once Pat Calhoun is acquitted No man dare attempt to enumerate the bubbles that may be set up after conviction, if that is ever secured
 The qualifications of iurymen should be very simple rather than very complex. Jurymen should be men of upright character and stand ing in their communities, and their general rep utation in those communities should be evidence sufficiently conclusive on that, point unless spe- officially combated. They should be free from blood or business relations with defendants and that is about all that should be required If prejudice or hostility could be successfully estabIished-or should he admitted--it ought

Press Comment
Hawthorne House Changed
From the Springfield Republican.

From the Springfield Republican.
 "The House of the Seven Gable" |" at Salem, much visited in memory of Nathaniel Hawthorne, is to be turned into house for settlement work. The neighborhood is unlike what it was in its prime or even in Hawthorne's s day, as Longfellow' 8 birthplace in Portland is unlike what it was in it's youth; and as a settlement house is wanted there, Mrs. George R. Emmer. ton has bought it for that purpose. It had seven gables when 1t was built in 1902, but most of the seven were removed forty years ago. The old par. Tor where Judge Pyncheon in the story sat in the night, with the red stain on his breast, was not identifable, but people have visited the house by hun dreds.

woman's suHrage-A Southern View

 From the Nashville American.
 Among the better class of women in this country there is little or no de mand for the ballot. The hysterical movement in it's favor finds support chiefly among those who like to feel that they have "mission' to per form and who are largely influenced by their English cousins, who find suf. frage crusade one method of attracting attention to themselves. It is apt to find most favor with those who have filled their nostrils with The air of polit ical battle in prohibition campaigns. There are exceptions, but in the north may of the prohibition leaders are also woman suffrage leaders It is not so much so in the south, but it will be. come so when the female voting idea takes hold.

 The marKet closed almost at the top. with December at 100 l-4 to 100 3-S.
 Notwithstandfng a break of iI-2 cents in the price of cash corn. the market for options rallied sharply dur Ing the final hour and closed at net gains of 1-8 10 l-2c. compared with the previous close. shorts were the chief bidders during the greater part of the session.
 Oats shared with wheat and corn in the activity and strength of the final hour. There was considerable "short'' selling early in the day but the offer- inss apparently went into strong hands aud when few tried to cover late in the day the market was found to be bare of offerings which resulted in a quick rally. The close was firm with prices up 5-s to sic. to 7-S to lc.
 Provisions were strong nearly all day on buying of the January products. The demand was based on the monthly statement of stocks In store here and on the statement of worlds stocks of lard which were as bullish as expected. Prices at the close were unchanged 10 IT 1-2 higher.

mers and merchants. even those who believe in short crop. have been free sellers daily. Consequently receipts have been quite heavy and stocks in the interior are light, as there Is no accumulation. The demand has been chiefly for Europe.
 AS compared with the contract mar ket of the world the prices paid in the South are below those of previous seasons. In other words. compara- lively speaking, spot cotton Is much lower than contracts in New York. Liverpool, or New Orleans. ant there would not have been any trouble in buying cotton and shipping 1t on con tract and delivering 1t with a profit This Is especially true of New York However, this Is never resorted to when there are other outlets. and as the grades have been very good IL has been easy to dispose of cotton otherwise than to ship and tender on contracts.
 The quality of cotton thus far has graded American average Strict Mid ding and perhaps somewhat better Generally speaking, there are not as many high grades as last year, but the staple. especially in sections ot Alabama and along the Chattahoochie river in Georgia, are the best we have ever seen. In Georgia the staple is also good and strong. but of course does not compare with the Alabama sections. Mississippi is also showing up very. nicely as far as staple is com cerned."
