Is the Senate Declining?

ally 1t has only one such figure at
time. Today it has Elihu Root, Of
whom President Roosevelt said that he
was "the greatest man that has ap-
peared in the public life of any coun-
try, in any position, on either side of
the ocean, in any time" Whether the
praise is exaggerated or not. the man
to whom 1t is given certainly does not
rank below the conspicuous figures of
the senate in the last forty years
Blaine, Hoar. Hill, Edmunds, Sherman.
The high position which the senate has
always held is not made lower certain
ly, by the presence of Lodge, O'Gor-
man, and John Sharp Williams. The
proof is the instant attention and wide
discussion excited by any notable
speech from any of the men named; a
tribute which the mere holding of a
seat in the senate cannot command,
and which is not given to a speech by
any senator of less stature.

Straight to the track, If dim or dark,
Where my own compass guides.

At VALLEY FORGE
PATRIOTIC ORATORS GATHER AT
UNWILLING OF 100000
ARCH.

Philadelphia, Pa, June 19.-Noted
orators and many representatives Of
patriotic, military and other societies
gathered at Valley Forge today for the
dedication of the nations memorial to
the patriots who suffered there in a
winter campaign under Washington
for the independence of the American
colonies. The memorial is in the form
of an imposing arch and was erected
at a cost of 100000, which amount
Congress appropriated for the purpose
several years ago. The arch stands at
the junction of the old Gulph road,
where 1t crosses the outer line drive
way. It's design was largely influenced
by that of the famous Arch of Titus
In Rome, which has been somewhat
adapted to meet the conditions at
Valley Forge. The architect was Paul
M. Cret, professor of design in the
School of Architecture Of the Univer
sity of Pennsylvania.
| The arch is of granite, sixty feet
high. On one side is the inscription
ITO the officers and private soldiers
of the Continental Army, Dec. 10, 1777

time within the last century when it
was not the custom to bewail to deca-
dence Of the senate, and to praise the
good old days wnen giants made the
upper house Of congress illustrious;
and just now there is a good deal of
this, because the general character of
the senate has unquestionably altered
a good deal in the last decade. The
men entering 1t are younger and of a
newer type. White hair once seemed
almost the necessary badge of a sena.
tor; now men in early middle life are
more frequently elected. Not only are
they younger, but their road to the
senate is not always the same as it
used to be. The old novitiate, service
in the house Of representatives and
the governorship of some other high
state office, is not always demanded,
and an aggressive young lawyer or
popular spellbinder". can skip a
class" as the school teachers say.
The other road that used to be trav-
eleG was that of the wealthy business
man without official experience, who
contributed heavily to campaign funds
and finally decided to reward himself
! with a senatorship. He is rapidly be-
coming an extinct type of senator.
But has the senate deteriorated? 1t
is little noisier and more feverish,
approximates little more to the char
acter of the house of representatives
in it's style of debate, but not much.
Those pessimists who remind us of
the days of Hoar had their prototypes
in Hoar's day, in other pessimists who
mourned the days of Sumner, and In
his time there were those who held
up the vanished glories of Webster's
day. The truth is that we remember
any given period not by it's average
but by the most eminent names in it
There are seldom more than a few
eminent men in any senate; the res
are unremarked and soon forgotten
and when we look back upon tha
period we name it, naturally, afte
those we remember and not those W,
forget. Years from now, doubtless
pessimists will be mourning the deca
dence of the senate and signing TO
1914 and the good old days Of Root.
Congress follows congress, and Il

There have always stood out abov

PALMER MAKES
UNUSUAL RULING
MAY PRECLUDE POSSIBILITY OF
SECURING JURY. TO TRY
c. n. RAlNE.
MNemphis. June 1s.-Raine's trial

"
be resumed Monday.
Finder Judge Palmer's ruling it will
be almost impossible to find twelve
men to try c. H. Raine, who, while
president of the old Mercantile Bank,
robbed it of $1,O91, 900 and thereby
wrecked it. 1t is doubtful whether or
not, under that ruling, jury could be
impaneled at any spot on the top side
of earth, with all of mankind for ve-
nirement.
Judge Palmer permitted the defense
to ask this question, and he'd that il
was competent.
"Do you believe this defendant inno-
cent?"
If the juror answered mo" which
most of them did, Judge Palmer would
hold he was competent.
Contrarily, if the puror had answer
ed eyes," he would have been disquali-
fed because of bias against the states
case. If such is the spirit of the jury
system the law has never before been
so construed by any Judge in any court
of the English-speaking world.
Posted Juror Might Qualify.
The only possible way for juror to
qualify under. that ruling would be to
say that he had no belief, no opinion
either the one way or the other. Hon
est Jurors do not try to devise means
by which they can sit in judgment.
With meagre pay, the possibility Of
ing locked up for weeks and with
&ther known inconvenience which
y Jurors suffer, they avoid service as
much at the best is an unpleasant
duty.
The usual question to ascertain a
Jurors state Of mind is:
"Can you presume this defendant in
nocent?" :.
The Juror may have an opinion, but
be willing to set it aside. The fact
that an indictment has been obtained
may not be regarded as presumption
of guilt. The whole question is, and is
usually asked in the following or a
modified form:
Notwithstanding any opinion you
may have, and the fact that the grand
Jury has seen fit to prefer an indict'
ment, can you go into the jury box
presuming this defendant innocent
and let that presumption stand as
witness for him until overturned by
competent and credible proof?"
New Under the Sun.
Since the jury system was invented
and until the time Raine was placed
On trial, the Juror who could answer
that question in the affirmative, and
twas not disqualified for other cause
has been considered competent.
Every defendant is presumed to be
innocent until he is proven guilty. The
very word "belief' implies fixed opin
ion requiring evidence to remove, the
holding of which would disqualify any
juror.
The law contemplates that ever!
Juror shall go into the jury box un
trammeled by any belief, fixed opinion
or prejudice which might influence hi
Judgment, which the law contemplate
should be based solely upon the fact'
as brought out in the trial and the Law

O.-W. R. L. n. COMPANY PLACED
ORDER FOR 5000 NEW WOODEN
FREIGHT CARS.
Involves an Expenditure OF Nearly &c..
OOO,O00 and Indicates Confidence In
Future Stability OF Country.

An indication of the rapid return OF
prosperity and public confidence came
in the announcement of officials of the
Union Pacific railroad system that
their line has just let contracts for the
building of 5000 freight cars at a cost
of between $5,5O0,O00 and $4,000 900,
for delivery beginning the middle of
April and as rapidly thereafter as the
builder can turn them out, advices
having just reached d. House, agent
of the O.-W. r. & n.
Not only does this immense order
bear on the return OF general prosper
ity, but it will mean much to the lum-
bermen of the Pacific northwest, since
the greater number of these cars will
be OF wood, and the lumber manufact-
urer of western Washington will of
necessity be called upon to supply most
of the lumber
OF this rolling stock, 1000 will be
the standard boXcar of l00,0 pounds
capacity, 400 will be stock cars of the
same type as heretofore used and have
a capacity of $4,000 pounds each, while
500 of the cars will be of all-steel,
for automobile use, of 100,-
900 pounds capacity and fifty feet long
inside. All the boxcars will have the
steel underframe.

ADDRESS STUDENTS AT ASSEMBLY
w. J. Mcconnell Speaks to Apprecia-
tive Audience at Varsity Today
Good Music.

That there is too little emphasis
placed on memory training by the
schools of the present day from the
primary grades to the colleges and
universities is the belief of eX-Gov-
ernor w. j. Mcconnell who delivered
an able address before the students
and faculty of the university at the
weekly assembly this morning. Simple
arithmetic, with its mental addition
subtraction. multiplication and divis-
ion, has been crowded out of the
schools, said Mr.. Mcconnell, and the
memorizing of the numerous choice
pieces of literature which lin the good
old" days was a feature of every boy
and girls education is no more en-
couraged
Mr. Mcconnell with his usual char
acteristic humor brought from his
audience bursts of applause time af-
ter time Especially well received
was a remark that if he were to
stand the members of the university
faculty up in row and give them
one by one a simple test in addition
he would venture to say that at least
30 per- cent of them would fail. No
one volunteered to dispute his asser-
tiOn.
Mr.. Mcconnell would urge upon the
young men and women the necessity
of fixing in their minds definite
aim in life in order that they may
have something upon which to weave
their educations and toward which to
bend their utmost efforts. A large
majority of the young people in the
schools he said have no definite aim
whatever but are merely drifting along
through high school and college with
10 idea as to what their life work is
o be.
