VIE CONGRATULATE THE GRAND JURY

We congratulate J J. Hardy. foreman of the grand Jury at TINS
term of the court, and his faithful co-workers on that BODY. Hao
we more of such iuries. there would be fewer inmates of county jahs,
less people in the penitentiaries and not so many IN sorrow ana an
guish of heart throughout the land because OF fiery temPers and de-
signing acts.
All honor to the juries that are big enough and brave enough to
do their duty. There has been so much Sinking and squirming
about our courts and about executing the law that the public has al
most ceased to expect proper results. Our court procedure and the
ndiscriminate attacks that the defense is allowed to make on a
case, as presented by the state. have caused the people to put IN
practice as jurors and witnesses, to a certain extent, the examples as
they see it set them by practitioners of the court. 1t takes a reall-
cation of public duty to make good jurors.
We congratulate the grand jury that adjourned Tuesday on its
cleaning, The body did good work. We congratulate, also, the
board of supervisors who placed he names of the jurors i'll the jury
box.

JUDGE SIM c. COOK.

On Thursday Judge Sam c. Cook of Clarksdale was named by
Governor Brewer to succeed Associate Justice Mclean on the Su-
Ipreme bench of the state.
The appointment was no surprise. In fact, Gov. Brewer would
have been untrue to himself had he done otherwise. The relations
between Judge Cook and the Governor have been the most intimate
for years. Judge Cook is one of the states purest and best men,
and will make the state an able Supreme Judge. He has been on
the circuit bench of his district for three successive terms and has
been held in such high esteem by the people and the bar of his dis
trio: that no one has dared to oppose him for re-appointment. Be-
sides being a good lawyer, he is a level headed. common-sense man
and will reflect credit on the administration.
Judge Mclean was not an applicant for re-appointment. Gov.
Brewer holds Judge Mclean in the highest esteem, and had the sit
uaton been otherwise, would undoubtedly have rendered Judge Nc
Lean a re-appontment.

LII MYERS SHOULD BE READY

Lawyers should be made to understand by the courts of the
land that when the cases in which they are interested are called
that they should be ready TOR trial. The time for consideration and
preliminaries should be had beforehand. The archaic custom of
spending the taxpayers money to wait on the pleasure and mar L.
vers of attorneys, should be reegated to the limbo of the ancient
past.
The public is losing patience with the tardy action of the courts.
the responsibility for which rests largely upon the bar. When the
lawyers understand that their cases WILL BE TRIED when court con-
venes, they WILL BE READY for trial.
We are glad to say that Judge Mclean does all he can to push.
along the business of the court. He applies the rule of horse sense
but it is difficult indeed to break away at once from a custom that
has tettered the progress of the country SO long.
If the lawyers do not improve our court procedure. the general
public will take charge and do it for them.

Hughes bill which has been made a
subject for conference by Congress, in
the beginning provided for the ap-
rointment Of commission of nine
members, at least three of whom shall
be employers of labor and three rep
resentatives or organized labor, charg-
ed with investigating conditions sur
rounding the large industries of the
country. Their duties We're enumerated
as being to pay especial attention to
the agricultural industry; to existing
relations between employers and en-

disputes and of avoiding labor strikes
When the bill came into the senate the
following amendment was attached:
THE commission is to inquire into
the question of smuggling or other lille
gal entry of Asiatics into the United
States or it's insular possessions, and
of the methods by which such Asiatics
have gained or are gaining each ad-
mission, and shall report to Congress

Changes In the Partridses of the Ca

A remarkable example of the effects
of environment and changed cordi-
tons of life upon the forms of ami

fridge living in the Canary islands.
Over 400 years ago the Spaniards in
troduced the red legged partridge from
Europe into these islands, and the bird
has continued to flourish there; but, as
recent examination proves, it has I'M
dergone notifications clearly brought
about by the conditions under which
1t lives.
Its back has turned from russell
color to gray. This looks like pro-
tective celebration, since the bird passes
its life among gray volcanic rocks.
Its beak has become one-fourth
longer and thicker than that Of its
ancestors and of its European rela-
tives, and its legs also have increased
in length and grown stouter.
These changes are exactly such as
were needed to suit 1t to the life that
1t is now compelled to lead amid the
rocks and on the mountain sides of
the islands, where a more rigorous
physical development is required than
was needed in its former home.-Har-

Innumerable are the tales of actors

On one occasion the play was enti-

agreed. however, that Hero was to be
coy and not confess her love for Lean

pressed his readiness to be hanged,

But the lady was soft hearted, besides

HIS EDUCATED WIFE.
BY EDWIN A. NYE.


II do not see why he married her.
He is a very brainy man, and she is
not an educated woman"
Which was the comment of a friend
Of mine respecting a mutual friend re-
Gently married.
/ joined issue.
/ said: "You are mistaken, l. t:.ink.
My friends wife Is not college edu-
Gated woman, but she is educated.
She is a fine housekeeper, as l happen
to know, and she is very capable
woman In many respects"
Education is more than mere book
learning.
All true education is a process of
drawing out of one the best that is in
one. Education is expression Of self.
Now
My friends wife is admirably pre-
pared for wifehood and motherhood,
education sadly neglected by many
well schooled women Of our day.
And she has, in addition to her good
looks and vivacity, health. poise, pa
thence and a sweet disposition. And,
moreover. she is much in love with her
husband and is determined to make
his home a happy one.
What would you?
But, her critic says, she Is not
''brainy."
And In that also she is mistaken.
Mentally she Is as strong as her
clever husband, but along different
lines. And am greatly mistaken if
she does not succeed in managing her
husband as we'll as her household. He
will not feel the harness, but she will
hold the lines just the same.
Brainy?
intellectually Is not confined to
certain sort of culture. As much brain
tissue is required for successful home
management as for bookkeeping or
practicing law.
The world. indeed, could get along
fairly well without lawyers and ed
ltors and architects, but could it get
along without mothers?
Educated?
There are other educated people than
those that are college trained. And as
between mere mental gifts and INTEL
lectuality OF the heart the latter is in
fnitely 10 be preferred.
And so thinks my friend respecting
his fine little wife.
