BREAKING THE SOLID SOUTH.

President Taft like several of his predecessors the
White House. INDUCES the hope of breaking up the political
solidarity the Southern states The efforts toward this
end have far proved without result and probable that
the attempts under the present administration Will be
eouallv unsatisfactory AS far the tariff issue is
cerned the South gradually dravng to the repub
can doctrine protection. They may be welded to the
theory of trade but when to appeal their
business sense they governed by setnteres rather
then abstract theory This fact is clearly brought out
whenever tariff duties under discussion in congress-
Southern members anxious have the industries and
products of their respective constituencies brought under the
protective wings of high tariff the republican congress-
men from the North West The South has experienced
the benefits protection under republican administrations
It has built up their cities infused life into every branch of
busness-in fact created industries that would not have
been possible under the free trade policy of democracy The
intelligent of the South close their eyes to
these thngs neither they explain them any other
hypothesis than the bee6cent effect of the republican,
doctrine of protective tariff But the issue is the par
amount one in the South In the states of the North,
Middle West and Pacific Coast the democratic party rapidly
Disappearing 1t little better than the ghost OF its former
SELF simply because the policies for which it STOOD and which
camored for supremacy under the administration of Cleve
land have been dcreded by the march of events-the
paalleled prosperity of Union under the nursing of
protective tariff But'the white and black the South
are wide apart politically They cannot rater-
nze on political The whites though inferior IN
numerical strength submit the possibility OF being
dominated by the colored The enanchsement OF
the negroes has sharply divided the people the South 1t
is hoped that by dividing the whites politically the sodlty
of the blacks supporters of the republican party might
also be broken up The problem is the difficult
that has faced the nation the days of the civil Its
solution is perplexing to-day as it ever was

A GOOD PRECEDENT.

A much needed reform in our jury
system seems about to have a trial in
San Francisco, says the New York
Tribune One of the gravest defects
in the present method has been the
necessity. in case one juror became
incapacitated for duty during the
progress of the case, of starting all
over again, which involves not only
a great waste of time, but a heavy
expense as we'll The public seldom
feels that it's money has been i'll spent
if the case is carried through, but
TO have it stopped by the illness of
one Of the jurors is exasperating, es-
pecially when it is considered how
easy it would be to remedy this defect
in the system.
In order to avoid the possibility Of
delay in a trial now going on in San
Francisco, a thirteenth juror has been
selected at the request of the prosecu
ton and with the consent of the judge.
He will sit with the regular jurors,
listen to the evidence, and, in fact
conduct himself generally as a juror
being prepared to take the place of
any one of the original twelve whom
for any reason it may become necessa-
~ to excuse. Of course, he will be en-
tirely superluous if the trial proceeds

jeopardized the interests of the nation
at large. The government did not call
it interference, but that is what 1t
amounted to. Fortunately wiser coun-

% OBSERVE MOTHERS, DAY
DAY
White Carnations VIII Be Worn Over
Country Next Sunday.

WASHINGTON, May S-Motners'
Day, next Sunday is to be observed
generally in Washington this year, al
though last year was the first time the
idea of setting apart such day had
been put in practice at All. Many of
the churches will observe it, while it
is expected thousands will wear Waite
carnations.
A year ago the question of observ-
ing the day came up for debate in the
United States senate on the initiative
Of Senator Burkett of Nebraska AL
though the senate did not fully go on
record in favor of observing the day,
considerable proportion of the mem
bers and employees wore white carna-
tons on the day
This year in some states and in a
number of cities the governors and
mayors have issued proclamations for
the occasion, while many organizations
which are national in scope have TAX
en- up the movement
The idea was originated by Miss
Anna Jarvis of Philadelphia. The
general idea of the day is that every
person should wear a white flower In
honor of his mother, and that if this
mother is living he shall visit her. if
possible, but if not to telephone, tele-
graph or write her

in the usual manner, but in that case
no harm will be done. Whether some
change in the law relating to juries
was necessary is not stated, but how
ever the end was achieved, it is
worthy Of emulation.
The task of securing jury to try
an important case is not an easy one.
This was shown as conclusively in the
Cooper trial as in that now in progress
in California. In the present instance,
in order to complete the jury some
thing like twenty-five hundred men
had to be summoned, and ninety-one
days were consumed in the effort to
get it together. The trial itself, while
probably of much shorter duration,
will last long enough to make more
than barely possible some incapacity
in one of the original twelve men. If
it were necessary to- secure a new jury
the time required would presumably
exceed that already spent in. complet-
ing this one. Those who watched the
of the TIhaw trial will recall
that it was delayed by the death Of
the wife of one of the jurors, and fears
were expressed that all the prelimin-
airy work might go for naught.
The proposal for an extra juror,
which has been more or less discussed
and which we have often commended,
has made little progress toward adop-
ton in this country. 1t is to be hoped,
however, that the example set in San
Francisco will be initiated elsewhere,
and that one always possible cause of
delay in the disposition of cases will
in time be generally removed.
