MURDER TRIALS.

Holland Has . System Of its Own For
Dispensing Justice.
A learned and capable jurist has as.
Serted that the French method OF legal
procedure, which. contrary to our own,
presumes an indicted person guilty IN
I'll he is proved innocent, comes nearer
dispensing actual justice than our own
system.
But In Holland the courts have, in
some respects, a better system than
that of the French. The accused in
every case has the benefit Of the doubt.
and circumstantial evidence as the
only foundation for a plea Of convic-
ton is in disfavor.
The Dutch do not have juries. and
there is no battle Of wits among coun-
sci. All questions, whether by the
prosecution or the attorney for the &C.
cused. are put to the witness through
the Judge after he has weighed the JUS
tice Of the Interrogation.
This feature Of their system has
some pronounced advantages over our
own. It eliminates the practice Of con-
fuSing the witness or the accused by
misleading questions. It renders I'm
possible the abominable practice in our
courts known as the "browbeating' OF
witnesses. which unfortunately is per-
mitted to an extent that causes the In
telligent observers blood to boil at
times because Of Its unfairness and
cruelty. 1t makes the solemn business
Of dispensing justice a common trade
instead OF q heavenly vocation.-Sioux
City Tribune.

An article in the Sisseton Stan
presents the same reason
for Sisseton going dry as was
advanced BY the Herald Advance
last week. It says:
With . prospective income OF
e75,O 600, and q profit turned back
to the public Of probably $50. 900,
there is q dead loss to the com.
munity Of the difference, less the
wages spent for saloon employees
and the comparatively small
amounts sent away for liquors
by individuals.
The so.called municipal saloon
has been one Of the best things
that ever happened to Sisseton,
1or it caused the citizens tC
think. If the license was q good
thing, then the public was emit
tied to all the profits, as far as
possible, so we tried that when
we had to have some kind OF q
saloon. But as soon as people
began seriously to consider it j,
did really pay, they found out
that the so called profits would
not Offset the actual losses to the
community as q whole.

ADMIRERS THRONG
AROUND Mr.. BRYAN
Pre-eminent Position Occupied
by Commoner Forcibly DEM
onstrated at Reception.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-THE pre-
eminent position OF William ]. Bryan
among Democrats. was forcibly demon
strated here again last night on the
occasion Of the reception given by the
president and Mrs. Wilson at the White
House In honor OF the diplomatic corps.
Mr.. Bryan passed through the re-
ceiving line early and took up a po-
xition In one corner OF the state din
ingroom OF the White House.
There. for ncarl two hours. he was
the center OF a constantly changing
thronE Of admirers. which must have
pleasantly reminded him Of the recep-
tions Of similar character given him
during the days Of his presidential
canftdacy. The crowd about him was
always six And eight deep, all COM
posed OF persons eager TO shake the
hand Of the secretary Of state and
the foremost man In the administration
was not the slightest doubt In the
minds OF observers that the old-fash-
toned rockribbed Bryan Democracy
was well represented mt the president
party.
MIR. Bryan,s arrival al the punch
bowl. which contained q connection
more popular than grape juice, was
awaited with tnterest by many OF
those present, because Of the we'll
known attitude OF the secretary Of state
on shs questions OF wine IT soctHf funr-

CRICKETS IN JAIL
DISTURB HOBOES

TARRYTOWN. n T., Jan. IL
With the thermometer ten degrees
below zero, crickets chirred SO loud
" from the cold last night that the
dodgers in the local Jail could not
sleep. Police Clerk Humphrey would
not believe the hoboea until he invee-
tigated and found three or four crick-
cts chirping behind the stove How
the crickets got in the lookup the
police are at loss to know. The only
explanation II that one Of the tramps
fell asleep In a hay field last sum-
mer and some young ones may have
climbed In his clothing.
The crickets were shown to a num-
her OF persons who also doubted
Humphreys story until he produced
the goods.
Thfa is an absolutely true story.

Loss Of Time in

to business Lieutenant-Ciovern
Ellyson presided. with the Rev. George

a communication was received from
the secretary OF the Commonwealth,

Just then the senate began a rush

ing been lost sight of. Senator Saund-
ers called attention to this fact. and
also TO the fact that a committee had
not been named to inform the COVER
nor of the organization of the legisla-
rure and Its readiness to proceed TO
business.
Senator Walker came to the rescue
and moved recess till the house
should have completed its organiza-
sion. which was adopted. and for an
hour there was a iuli in the proceed
tngs-
During this time the doors were
thrown open and the members spent
a good deal of time in consulting

pie In the galleries.

Senator Featherston. of I.ynchburg.
offered two amendments TO the consti-
tuition. one making the sessions ninety
days and extending the pay of mem

Senator Gravatt. of Caroline, pro-
poses an amendment to the rules of
the senate whereby bills reported and
sent to committee and not reported
after four regular meetings. the pa
tron should have the right to call

to provide that bills introduced the

automatically be discharged from

succeeding ten days and not reported
in fifteen days should be taken from
COMMITTEES without consideration. The
