Women i'm the Court Room.

The Roanoke Times in recent
issue has timely editorial on the
improperly of permitting the wives,
children and female relatives to be
present during the trials in court. AT
wythevile during the trial of Sidna
Allen and all the rest of the
Aliens, we suppose, the wives and
children were conspicuously present.
1t is the custom in all the courts for
the wives, daughters and even sweet
hearts of the prisoner at the bar, to
be present, and to occupy prominent
seat in full view of the jury. What
for? Who brought them there, and
for what purpose? The Clinch Valley
News has, more than once, referred
to this baneful custom, and modes tlv
suggested that it is wrong, and
should be prohibited, and we are glad
to see our view of matter held by
so wise q contemporary as The
Roanoke Times. There can be only
one object in bringing weeping wives
and relatives into the court room dur
ing trials of their loved ones, and
that is obviously, to influence the
jury favorably on the one hand, or
unfavorably, as the case NAV be. No
refined, or even reasonably sensible
woman, we take it, would be there as
matter of choice, to hear damaging
testimony given against one whom
she loved and respected. and further
! more, we venture the opinion that
husband, brother or son would prefer
that those nearest and dearest to
them should not be present when
damaging and degrading testimony,
whether true or false, is rehearsed
before the court. All parties concern
ed, except counsel for the defense.
we believe, would prefer the absence.
rather than the presence in court of
female mesnbers of the family. As
the Times states, their presence has
an influence upon the jury, and this
can be the only explanation of their
presence. The wife in black, her
tears, her weeping children-all the
very picture of helplessness and
grief, exercises an influence upon the
men who have sworn to give the
prisoner a fair and impartial trial,
and true verdict given according to
law and the evidence, without pre-
JUDGE or passion. Keep the women
out of the court room, except when
their attendance as witnesses is
necessary. 1t is no place for them
anyway. If the lawyers persist in
dragging women into the court room
for the sake of their influence upon
the jury, as the Times suggests.
there should be pronibitory law
passed by the Legislature. The Jury
system is bad enough at best, and
every hindrance, encumbrance, or
baneful influence whatsoever, should
be removed.

flour into batter of proper con-

pan well CREASED with fresh, pure

THEN AND NOW

In 1884 when dissatisfied Re- publicans, consisting mainly of the academic and doctrinaire class, organized an independent party known as "Mugwumps, Theo- dore Roosevelt refused to join it.. He said then, "A man connot act both without and within the party; he can do either, but he cannot possibly do both. It is impossible to combine the functions ot a guerrilla chief with those of a colonel in the regular army"
 That was said when the colonel "was young and charming so many years ago." Now he favors using such political instruments as will best promote the success of the progressive cause," mean ing thereby the success of Roose- welt. Where the progressives are in control of the machinery of the Republican party there they will employ it to place on the bal lot the names of electors pledged to Roosevelt. Which means in plain English that where the Pro- gressives can steal the Republican organization for Roosevelt, as in California, they should do so, and where they cgnnot steal it, as in Illinois, there they should join a progressive party without leaving the Republican party, and so act both without and within the party" and combine the functions of a guerrilla chief with those of a colonel in the regular army"

The Barber Asphalt paving people have practically concluded the preliminary work for nine blocks of paving and are now held up only by the absence of one property owner. The people gen. erally are enthusiastic over the prospect of paved streets, and the general impression is that within a short time after the first work is completed, there will be a demand for paving on many of the adjoining blocks. Many streets need attention, all of them can not be attended to at once, but a few good blocks of paving will rapidly bring about the other inn prov ements necessary. There is nothing like one good improve ment to bring about another.

According to Senator Davis idea, the Hunt county proposition was the center of about all legis- lation during the regular session of the legislature, and either caused the defeat or passed most of the bills. If he could have as- certained facts as readily as he seems to be able to deduce things, he would give out much more valuable information. Had he mentioned the fact that there were three or four other counties, where county division was being agi- tated, and from which counties the senators were opposed to the division, it would throw more light on his main burning ques- ton. As a matter of fact neither suffrage or the miners lien laws were traded or bartered for the Hunt county affair.

We guess Arizona's soil is some rich. Senator Ashurst says in attempting to give a faint pre- ception ofits fairly goodness: "The richest soil on which the sun ever shown, soil so frtle that the widest hyperbole becomes inn potent and prosaic in attempting to describe it." There is ab- solutely no reason to doubt if the soil had been richer than that, he would have mentioned it.
