SOCIALIST LEADER
Claims That Party Will Support New Government If It Keeps Its Prom ises, Including Equal Rights.

ises, Including Equal Rights.
 Copenhagen, Nov. 6,-1n an address on Sunday at Elbing, West Prussia, Philip Scheidmann, the German so- cialist leader, said his party would support the new German government If 1t kept it's promises. including those for equal rights in Prussia, abo- lition of political censorship and con- sessions to labor. The support of the socialists also was conditioned, he said, on the carrying out by the gov ernment of a clear and firm foreign policy in furtherance of everything compatible with Germany's honor and future for the attainment of g. speedy and lasting peace. Otherwise. he said, the socialists would fight the new government as they fought the Michaelis regime.
 Once equalgrights in Prussia were granted and control of the Reichstag majority over the makeup of the government and it's policy were es- hed-developments which were springing into being before their eyes-there would be no excuse, Herr Scheidmann declared, for refusing to negotiate peace with Germany on the pretext that it was ruled autocrat- ically.

WHY PUNISH JURORS?

Jurors in the Means ease on trial in North Carolina, after heauna speeches by lawyers for two full days. and knowing the speechmahng was only partially completed, sent a com munioati2n Co tho trial judge Q speed up the speechmabng and get through.
 j. is enough to have to be called from business 10 attend court as jurors. but then it is much worse when the jurors must sit mute and on a,- ten ion in jury box and have 10 listen days and days to the rntius of an attorney who perhaps does not know any more of the evidence chan does the watchtm juror and who even if he knew more. ought Q le able to make his points plain within an hour
 When the court processes in our country arc made more perfect they win be more abbreviated There will he less wrangling over competent and incompetent evidence The junes will be passed on more by the court for their qualification, and less by wranglins attorneys seeking to dis qualify here, and to qualify there. And the addresses hy the attorneys will be confined more to a brief analysis of the evidence, while the law in the case will not be submitted through at torneys }ut will be wholly arranged by the courts
 Such procedure would not hamper the ends of justice, but on the other hand would simplify the work Of the eeurts. make them more effective and less costly, and bring for them much more general respect

WORTHY OF DEEP PROBE.

While suspicion does not prove any thing and while even circumstances may be misleading yet tho ublica- tions following that Halifax disaster call for he most complete iuyesuea tion and following that definite announcement should come from the government that the people might know whether tha, tragedy was pare y accidental or whether it was of German design
 The carrier pigeon incident with the mysterious notes attached, first attracted attention Now comes the report that an enemy helmsman had been engaged at the wheel of the shlp that rammed the ammunition ship That helmsman is in custody and no doubt something more can be ob- tained from him
 One of the things the government might do relative to this war is to give the people all the correc, news on anything and everything that will not serve the enemy If the enemy pulled this job it would not be help ing his cause to say so with author fly, because or itself it would arouse the slumbering people to the true conditions they must expect to be called 10 meet anywhere and every where.
 This war and all of it's mciden. terrors and possibilities are beginning to dawn on the people and the people are awakening to what they must do. One of the things they must do all the time is to keep eyes and ears open for the enemy whether in one loca- ton or another If 1t were proved up that Germany had struck this Halifax blow. the fact would serve 10 keep every American patriot alarmed wita- in his own heart and the man fore warned is the man who will le watch f,l all ,he time
