THERE WAS NO DOUBT AT ALL

The ability of juror to under stand the meaning of d reasonable doubt" in regard to the guilt of d person on trial on a criminal charge and willingness to give the ac- Cused the benefit of the doubt. should it exist, are qualifications al ways required by criminal lawyers in the examination of jurors. and lack of either qualification results in a challenge. It is seldom. how ever. that a prospective juror will frankly admit prejudice or inability to give fair trial.
 A former negro preacher who had fallen from grace was about to be tried on a charge of chicken steal ing, according to Judge Hugh Smith of the WyandOtte Court of Com mon Pleas. and a member of the former congregation of the accused was called as juror. The attorney for the defense explained the mean ing of plain doubt and a reason able" doubt. and then demanded:
 If. after all the testimony has been heard there remains any reason to believe that this defendant might not be guilty, will you give him the benefit of the dOubt?"

PARTIAL JURY VEROIcTs.

Alter spirited debate the Ohio constitutional convention, body controlled by progressives and radi- cals. adopted a provision that in civil cases a verdict rendered by three fourths of a jury should be accepted by the court "Unanimity' is thus to be done away with in all civil cases
 New York judges are quoted as approving this change and saying that it should have been made long ago, as nothing but tradition sup ports the requirement. of unanimity in all jury verdicts.
 Ohio has followed the example of newer western states in making this departure. The drift of legal opinion, everywhere indicates that other states will in turn walk in Ohios footsteps. In criminal cases alone does reason demand unanimous yer diets, as it demands the benefit of all proper doubts for the accused. There are however. other reforms under consideration which, if adopt ed. would greatly improve the ad- ministration of the criminal law Chicago Record Herald.

THE PARALYSIS OF MINING DlS-
 TRICTS.

The director of the United States geological survey has made a name for himself as che giver of excellent advice respecting needed amendments of the mining laws of the land. It is pity that the gentlemen who rep resent the people in the halls of con gress will not. anyway do not, heed his words. In his last annual report he makes a commendable suggestion, as follows:
 Tn the case of unpatented claims n remedy should be sought for what has been termed "the paralysis of mining districts" and the rigid requirement of annual assessment work should be made actual and effective by inspec- ton and supervision. in order to put an end to the present procedure of al- lowing a claim to lie idle for prac- tically two years after it's location, not to mention the many localities where claims are held year after year with only perfunctOry compliance, or even without any performance of as sessment work-a type of local dis regard for law that is in striking
  to the district customs and regula- tions of earlier days, whereby the right of possession was made ahso- lutely dependent upon continuous op- eration.
 In the midst of the play of bound less ambition in Washington for new bureaus to be organized, new jobs to be created and new literature to be Uncle Sam does not seem able to manage his own property. The director of the survey has point ed to this case of unpatented mineral claims, the property of the govern ment. but held by locators under con ditions the evasion of which has long been a joke.
 Let the government attend to its own Let the Bureau of Mines or ganize a corps of inspectors and bring triflers to book, incidentally providing a fine array of new jobs in the pur- eau. This would be field of use fitness more worth while than the operation of experiment stations.
 As for the unworked patented claims held for the unearned increment, let the states attend to them by suit ably adjusted system of taXatlon.- and Mining Journal.

The system provides ar absolutely safe means of saving, and is an encouragement tO buy and pay for real estate. Against these bonds and mortgages the Credit FonCier issues its bonds in small amounts bearing interest at 3 per cent or less. which are sold in large quantities to investors of moderate means.

HOW FRANCE HELPS THE POOR

The resources of the French people have always been surprise to the rest of the world The country mas repeatedly recovered from most eX- hausting wars, apparently through the very small savings accumulated bv it's lower classes. The peasants Of France are landowners to an extent hardly equaled in any other country
 The saving system known as the Credit Foncier. which is sanctioned and directed by the French govern ment, is, to q certain extent. respon- sible for the thrifty spirit shown throughout France. The plan pro vides that a man may borrow on his land very close to the complete value by arranging in advance the number of years that he will take to pay back the loan His interest pay ments are then arranged at so much per year, the amount being greater or less, depending on how soon he

BLIND MANS WORK.

Tn the March American Magazine there is an interesting account of J. F.. SwearingtOn. who, though totally blind, since youth, fills the office of state superintendent of education for South Carolina. It is for the most part due to him that the practical side of South Carolina's agricultural revival-the children'S corn clubs and tomato clubs has such great vitality Following is a brief extract from the article:
 The old expression. there are none so blind as those who will not see might with propriety be revived in the light of modern achievements of blind workers; as an instance. J. F. Swearingen. the blind state superin- tendent of education for South Caro- lima is seeing wonderfully well for thousands of wideawake boys and girls. Although Mir. Swearingen has lived in darkness since his eleventh year, when an accident while hunting destroyed his eyesight, his vision of the needs of his great army of yOIng people has quite as likely been i'm proved instead of injured. Dr. Sam uel Gridley Howe, early in the thirties the founder of the first school for the blind in this country, was wont to say that blindness is an inCOnveni- ence. but not an affliction.' Some times a human handicap is the spur that makes a career. When I asked Mir Swearingen if he felt his growth had been because of his blindness, rather than in spite of it. he was inclined to believe his inconvenience had been a fillip to his ambition. He has conquered SD far as to pass the prescribed course ip the of South Carolina, leading his class, to become a teacher in the State institution for the blind. and finally to be accepted, through the civic suffrage of his people. as the best equipped educator in the state to direct the training of it's future

MEXICO CITY, Feb 24.-General Geronimo Trevino, in a message from Monterey to the Associated Press. to- day denied he had affiliated with the rebels. and stated he would remain loyal to the Madero government His message reads:
 T have not accepted and will not accept any public office not rendered to me by the national government. am an honorable soldier and loyalty always will be the guide to my acts l shall defend the established gov ernment until peace is restored, or I shall go down with it in accordance with my convictions of my duty"
 This message came soon after Pres ident Madero again had insisted tha: Generals TrevinO and Pascual OrozcO Were loyal to the government
 Madero denied that any large body of rebels is marching in any partic- ular direction, including Orozco. with whom, it is said. he was in daily communication. There is little doubt here that the manifesto issued in Fl Faso and reputed to have been writ ten by instigation of cientificos lack ed the authorization of Trevino. and probably that of OroZco. There are few men in the capital. either of the old or new regime. who believe that q group of capitalists. known as c!entificos. had anything to do with the plan announced by former Consul GonZalo Enrilc. IL was suggested the old capitalistic group set too much by material progress to foster any thing that would injure business or reduce further the credit of the cOun- try.

 In the conscience of citizens, for eigners and yourself, and for reasons We do not discuss. conditions now prevailing make a return to peace impossible. The result. if you con tnue opposing the revolutionary movement by force of arms. will not be towards peace. but your resist ance will oblige all Mexicans to con- unue to kill each other and you must assume the responsibility for the shedding of this blood. Besides. you would only prolong and make more intense the state of disorder. and to each day make more distant the re- turn Of peace which all desire so urgently. In this respect your respon- sibihty to the country and the world and history is immense To Obviate such great evils and perils which such things can only engender. l believe it my duty to appeal to your patriotism, inviting you. as I have. in the name ot the country. to return to the rev clution the power which it gave you. and which return of power l ask ac- cording to the plan of Tacubaya' in the name of and to comply with the plan of San Luis Potosi'

The man said the rebel troop train had reached a point IA miles south of JuareZ where ii stopped and the soldiers detrained. The cars were then sent back to get more soldiers. All wires are down.
