The tobacco company suit has been
argued in the Supreme Court of the

the trust in the lower courts. The
Standard oil case will be argued
March Il. 1t is expected that both
these will be handed down at the

be rendered until after the summer
recess. The government is confident
OF winning both suits.
The Union and Southern Pacific

government has put in its evidence.
The defendant has until spring to
put in its testimony. decision in q
year, perhaps, may be expected. The
railroad attorneys declare the govern
ment's suit lost already. Then why
such great insistence that the gov
eminent shall withdraw the suit now?
What the President and the Attor-
ney-General would like to know is.
What are these corporations going to
do should the decisions go against
them? The Standard Oil Compa,.s

MEN ARE "EASY"
FOR SHOE CLERKS
LITTLE TROUBLE TO FOOL THEM
BY CHANGING SIZE MARKS.

A Broadway shoe dealer, eXpound-
ing a pet theory, offers the following
proof that mans conception of happi-
hess and contentment depends largely
on the state of his Imagination.
"A short time ago" he explained,
"One of my best customers came in
and asked for pair of shoes. 1t hap
pened that | had in stock at the time
the exact thing the customer called
for, and, everything considered, it
looked as if | would make a quick sale.
However, despite the fact that to me
the style and fit of the shoes were
perfect, the customer, upon standing
up, declared that they were too tight
and that he wanted the same thing a
half size larger.

that the shoes, which were size s,

After a few steps up and down the

they were a size larger than they

THIS JURY WAS
VERY COURAGEOUS
Objects TO Judges Censure for Having
Exercised Reasonable Doubt

Respect and honor are due TO the
Brooklyn Jurymen who have protested
against the action of County Judge
Fawcett, of Kins county, in rebuking
them because he was dispIeased with
a verdict of acquittal and in discharg-
ing them from further jury service at
the presentat0Cm of court by reason
of his judicial displeasurG.
These gentlemen point out that they
have not sought of their own volition
to participate in the administration Of
justice, but have been compelled 10
do so in the discharge of a highly
important civic duty; that the law i'm
poses upon them and not upon the
judge the responsibility of determin-
ing whether or not a defendant is
guilty beyond a reasonable doubt :;
mat Judge FaWceJt himself instructed
them TO aCQuit in the case which called
forth his criticism if they entertained
any reasonable doubt as TO the guilt
o. the accused. They insist that the
verdict which they rendered was the
necessary and legitimate expression of
their unanimity in entertaining such
reasonable doubt. Hence they can
perceive no propriety IN the condem-
nation visited upon them from the
bench.
Neither can we. The jury scoring
habit is a gross abuse of power for
which there is no Qualifications in law,
and we are glad TO believe that it is
comparatively modern innovation
for which the presidents are not mum
erous. 1t cannot too soon be com
pietely abandoned We do not ques-
ton the right of the public to express
t.-ec.,
juries. 1t has the same right to ex-
press dissatisfaction with the decisions
OF judges.
There is no branch of the govern
ment that can claim immunity from
public criticism under a free govern
ment A criminal court, however, con-
sists of two parts. each discnarging a
function wholly distinct from that OF
the other-the judge, who deals with
the law OF the case; the jury, that
passes upon the questions of fact.
Neither can properly interfere with
the duties of the other, and in the
absence of misconduct on the part of
the jury the Judge has no more right
to condemn it from the bench for a
verdict of acquittal than the jury
would have to criticise ms law
1t is difficult even now to obtain
good men willing to serve as jurors

they are liable to a judicial scoring
in case they deem il their duty under
the oath which they have taken to

thinks they ought TO have found

We commend these Brooklyn jury

against growing abuse Of judicial
power.

CONFLICTING EMOTIONS.

Very few people doubtless realize
Just how the Honorable William Jen.
nfngs Bryan feels over the political
situation in the State OF Ohio. Being
a good and worthy Democrat, he nat.
urally would rejoice at the success or
the Democratic ticket in President
Tafts State. But success there for
Governor Harmon this fall means a
new order Of things for the Nebras.
kan. Governor Harmon is a Cleye.
land Democrat. He is not and never
has been in sympathy with the Bryan
leadership. Mr.. BRYAN will never con.
slider himself presidential impossi.
bility as long as his head is above
ground. Now. Ohio is a great Repub.
lean State, famous as the mother Of
Presidents. Should Governor Harmon
succeed in the second race for chief
executive Of Ohio 1t would make him
the logical candidate for! President on
the Democratic ticket and the undis.
puted leader of the party. Should he
be defeated, 1t would discourage his
followers and make the party seek
elsewhere for q candidate. Where
would the party turn? To Mayor Gay.
nor, Of New York? Hardly. with the
stubborn opposition he would find in
his own State. With Harmon and
Gaynor eliminated, what more likely
than an appeal to Mr.. Bryan to once
more take up the leadership? Govern
or Harmon's defeat, then, would keep
Mr.. Bryan's star in the ascendant
while his success would put 1t in an
eclipse. AS. Mr.. Bryan is human and
his followers are very devoted to him
there will be a struggle in the breasts
of the faithful when II comes time to
decide on the warmth of support for
the Harmon cause this fall. And Jud.
son Harmon will probably fail to get
"a good many Bryan Democrat votes.
That is phase Of the Ohio campaign
not to be overlooked by the Hepubli.
