JURY vERplcTs.

There a growing tendency favor
ing a change in the jury laws of the
country. The system most generally
prevalent. is for a unanimous verdict.
This is a premium on fixed" jurors.
1t gives a stubborn or vicious member
of the jury an opportunity to cause a
mistrial. 1t results in miscarriage of
justice-and causes enormous expense
and tedious delays.
1t is a weak point in the North Da-
kota system Of justice to require ju-
rors to be unanimous and permit the
supreme court to decide propositions
by a majority rule Three of the five
men on the supreme bench at Bis
marck can make a final ruling on a
Ease you may appeal-why not permit
nine Of the twelve men who hear the
evidence to make a decision in the
lower court?
The supreme court of the United
States may-by a bare majority de-
cision-render a final decree involving
the most vital interests of the entire
nation-the strongest principles of the
government-yet it is demanded that
the jury shall be unanimous.

the city has some $4,000 children be-
tween il and 16 years of age who are
not in school and more than half of
whom are idle. These children are
likely to grow up unskiIled in any
thing, while there is need OF trained
workers In many vacations.
The board of education has done
something to meet the demand for vo-
cational training, and the report well
comes this. 1t proposes nothing v
lutionary, and It shows that "the work
in commercial education in Chicago Is
not designed to meet the special needs
Of Chicago and that the business
colleges are not doing the needed work,
Plainly there is need Of the proposed
instruction, and the public school n
thorities should make their plans in
the light OF this extensive and careful
study. AS conditions in the United
States approach those in the old world,
the danger of producing a class of
casual workers" whose members are
unable to get permanent employment
because they have had no training in
anything, becomes serious and must
be guarded against. The able and
comprehensive report of the City Club
should cause action toward
the establishment of more vocational
schools or curses of the right sort.
1t should receive careful consideration
in all educational circles.

AS a result Of the failure to COM
plete the fund for the silver service
for the battleship North Dakota, the
people of this state have become the
laughing stock of the a
1t has been the custom for states
In recognition of the honor of having a
battleshlp named after then--to pre-
sem the vessel with a silver service,
When the largest battleship of the
navy was christened North Dakota
the people Of this state enthusiastical-
ly entered into the plan of raising
funds for an elaborate silver service.
"a part Of the sum required was speed
ely raised. Then came a halt in the
transaction-and it is still at a stand
still. The state and local committees
made many appeals to the public.
Many counties raised only a small pro-
portion of the amount a~pportioned.
Some raised the full amount-and a
few even more than asked.
Something like half Of the sum is
still unsubscribed.
In the meantime the silver service
unpaid for and there is some
talk Of asking congress for an appro-
priation to settle the bill.
North Dakota is now in it's devel-
ipment stage. It's failure to make
good on this proposition is a bad blow.
1t should not be permitted to remain
as a black spot on the states record.
Regardless Of whether the purchase
of a silver service vas a reckless ex-
penditure-or whether an extravagant
order was made-or whether the GUS
tom of presenting battleships is a kind
of graft-the state entered into this
agreement and should deliver the
goods, Many people subscribed their
money in good faith and the balance
should be raised to save North Da-
kota's good name.
If the state committee appointed for
the purpose Of raising this fund has
failed-the commercial clubs and the
newspapers should co-operate-and Sc
cure the rest of the cash needed to
square the account.

VOCATIONAL EDUCATION.

value that he may earn a living when
he leaves school.
The agricultural college Of North
Dakota and Of other states are doing a
great work along this line. Technical
schools have long a~ssisted-and now
the public schools are taking up the
plan. When the comparatively small
percentage Of school boys who 60 to

STREET CORNER LoAFERs.

IL pleasure and comfort of decent
and modest women of the city by maxi
ing some of the corner loafers move
on. Around some corners and in pool

half-baked, simpering juveniles as

middle, cigarettes in their mouths and
hats about the size of a postage

seem to imagine they make favorable
Impressions on the passing women and
girls.
On other corners boys and grown
ups loaf and expectorate vile tobacco
juice on the sidewalks till the clothing
OF the women are endangered by the
filthy and unsanitary practice.
Fargo's streets should be clean both
physically and morally. One of the
evidences of municipal progress is a
satisfactory state of its thoroughfares.
If the city streets r well kept and
safe and orderly-visitors gain the
impression the city is well governed
and its people are of high rank Of civ
ic intelligence and character.
Dirty streets-infested by idle and
vicious men and idiotic and pestifer-

Neche Chronotype: This paper has
always admired fearless
that earnestly advocated the right, but
we have no time for the narrow, low
browed chaps that see in one mans
action some horrible crime, and when
one of their particular gang performs
the same stunt, nothing is said about
it. When Hanna came to this state to
work in the interests of Roosevelt, a
number of pseudo reformers loudly
shouted stop thief" When Gronna
left Washington and campaigned the
state in the interest of LaFollette, the
same editors were as silent as Egyp-
tan mummies. Why? 1t seems that
consistency is a quality that is abso-
lutely lacking in the makeup of some
of these would-be moulders of public
opinion. We hate to say anything
against IN state editor. but in our
humble opinion some OF the clap-trap
fellows deserve no more respect than
an ungainly plug who lets his parents
support him until he is 80 or 40 years
of age.

Press Comment

Schafer Record Senator Gronna, it
is said, is hopeful of securing a favor
able report IN the bill granting home
stead settlers in North Dakota $40
acres in the bad lands region. The
bill applies to the land in the south
western part of Mckenzie county and
the northern part of Dunn county
which was included in the proposed
national forest reserve.
Should Senator Gronna's bill pass. it
is certain there will b no great rush
for these 320-acre homesteads as the
land is too rough for agricultural pur-
poses. If one should find a piece of
ground sufficiently level upon 800
acres large enough on which to build
a claim shack. he would have to use a
flying machine to get the material ON
the site.
The tract Of land should have been
set aside for a forest reserve. The
wild anne which is fast becoming ex-
tinct could then be protected by the
government and what little timber
there is left on the land could be pre-
served.
Congressman Hanna worked hard to
have the tract set aside for a national
forest reserve a ' would have sue

in this county told a number Of ridic-
ulous stories in order to get sigma
lures a remonstrance petition. One
of these ridiculous stories was to the
effect that Hanna was e~ndeavoring to
have the tract set aside so that the N.
p. railway company could sell what
little railroad land they have there to
the government.

residents are charged to him MART

ones appreciated only by a connois-
seur were his pelf.

Society columns of the newspapers
furnished him with a guide to the do
ings of the victims he selected Every
one of the score of robberies charged
to him are believed to have been
planned. with caution and circumspec-
ton, and while the police were look
ing for experienced robbers they
blamed for the crimes Guthrie was
working as an employee in the city
hall-an assistant chemist in the city
laboratory
When the police after the capture
of Guthrie raided the barn and stor-
age warehouse where he had hid the
booty they were astonished. Paintings
whose value was told in four figures,
1sI,
rare books and objects of a similar
nature were heaped in profusion in
the barn and were held in the ware
house. Receipts held by Guthrie and
which he tried to destroy in his fight,
called for these vaIuables.

Seized by the police, they were ia
ken as evidence against him. When
confronted with the accumulation of
evidence against him Guthrie finally
admitted that he was the man sought
for a number of robberies
81 only robbed the rich" was his
excuse, given half boastingly in a
way that recalled the vauntings Of
Robin Hood.
Besides MS series Of house bur
glaries Guthrie got $11,8OO in one set
of forgeries committed in a period of
twenty-four days. 1t is known also
that he has stocks and bonds worth
about $4,000 He has in addition ad-
mitted he specialized extensively
through the brokerage firm of Bah
cock, Rushton e Co., and it is said he
lost money in these operations.
In the brief time they have known
him Guthrie has exhibited such a
versatility in crime that the police
would not be surprised if further dis
closures by the prisoner brought to
light other operations as astonishing
as those Of which they are already
cognizant
