One-Man Tyranny.

The commission Of the reform Of
judicial procedure has recommended
the bills how in the legislature pro-
viding that in civil case ten mem
bers of the jury man render a verdict
under certain conditions. For many
years this reform has been urged and
agitated yet never been achieved. 1t
is so sensible a thing that its en-
actment would seem certain, and it Is
to be hoped hat he present session
will write the principal on the statute
books.
Everywhere else, save on the jury,
the principle of majority, rule joper-
ates. The government of this nation
is based upon it. Every great gov
ernmental policy is carried out by it's
operation. 1t certainly would seem
that rule just enough to furnish the
motive Of national policies should Be
fair enough and broad enough to do
substantial justice in a little dispute
. involving a few hundred dollars, or
a few acres of land. The idea OF one
or two men having the power to balk
ten Or eleven men, and to tie up liti-
cation and create expense and delay
justice is abhorrent to every sane
American. And yet we have allowed
the condition to exist all these years.
Now that Senator Clague's bill has
been approved by the legal minds
that have been at work seeking ways
and means to make, judicial procedure
simpler and less expensive, it is hoped
that the legislature will take this
advanced step and put an end to
one-man tyranny in he jury box

Two Great Political Events. e

Europe last: week staged. two spec
tacular political events. France
elected a new president with scarcely
a tremor in the foundations Of the
republic, and the British house OF
commons passed the Irish home rule
bill. ...:. as
The Third Republic has had, with
Poincare, nine presidents. OF these
three have served full term. Lou
bet and Fallieres piloted France
through some ticklish situations, and
retired to. we'll earned obscurity. Car
not and Faure died in office. Perier
had short, stormy rule. and resign
ed within year. MacMahon and
Theirs were forced to retire by trou-
bles that changes of ministry could
not quiet. GreVy, the most unfor-
tunate of all the presidents of France,
served a full term. and was re-elect-
ed, the only man thus honored. But
soon after scandals for which his
son-in-law was responsible, COM
PEELED his resignation. 49, ...- =. ..
The president Of France does not
WELD such broad powers as the
American executive. France is gov
erned under a parliamentary system.
The presidents main duties are to
arrange the Kaleidoscope changes OF
ministry, sign papers; and exchange
visits with the monarchs of other
realms. .5
Such men as Fallieres and Loubet
were we'll content with this role.
Both did splendid service in modify
ing the ebullient passions OF partiz-
anship, which make q consistent for
eign policy difficult under the repub-
lie. But with M. Poincare in the
presidency, the office may take on
new significance. Poincare is the
strongest statesman in France today,
with the exception of Delcasse. He]

ship into the passive presidency, Will
he be content to play the placid role
Of president, or will he still be

he likes, regardless Of Germany, heI
would arrange a ministry with Del
casse at its head; and put France in

politics of Europe. But II that Is not
yet practicable. he will no doubt try
to make himself the big French fac

7 At 7 ADVOCATES
RESUMPTION OF
SEAL KILLING
Fur-Bearing Herd on PribiIof
Islands Has Nearly Doubled
in Year of Protection.

WASHINGTON. Jan. S.-The re-
sumption of land seal killing limited TO
the males of the seal herd on the Pribi.
lof islands was advocated by President
Taft in message on fur seals which
was read before both houses Of con
gress today
The president stated that the increase
in the seal herd since the suspension of
all seal killing, whether on land or at
sea, was made effective by the adoption
of the fur seal treaty of 1911 and has
been such as to warrant the resumption
of a limited land killing of male seals.
The seal herd, he said. had increased
from 100000 to 215,OOO by actual count
since the beginning of the close season
in 1911 The presidents recommended
ton with reference to the killing of
male seals was as follows:
In view of the present condition Of
the herd and the very marked increase
in its size and particularly in the num-
Der of female seals which has resulted
from the operation of this convention
during a single year and which is to be
attributed wholly to the protection af-
forded by the prohibition against pc
lagie sealing. l recommend to congress
the immediate consideration of whetbeg
or not the complete suspension of land
killing imposed by this act is now nee
essary for the protection OF the herd
and for increasing its numbers within
the meaning and for the purposes of the
convention. If no actual necessity is
found for suspension. then it is not
justified under the convention. and the
act should be amended accordingly"
Predicts Big Herd Increase
Tile president also suggested that the
question of how many male seals should
be reserved each year for breeding pur-
poses should be left to the secretary Of
commerce and labor. He predicted that
the seal herd would treble and quad
ripple under the protection thus afford
ed within a few years
\ short special message also was
sent TO congress by the president trans
hitting a number Of reports Of the
commission on economy and efficiency.
In his message the president points out
that the important work OF the COM
mission has been greatly reduced by
the cut in funds provided by congress
for las use, and makes plea for a
