It has come to the attention Of the
America First association - that many
boys from this county who entered the
service did not get to use their smil-

AND FAMOUS
BAND TO VISIT COAST

Lieut.. John Philip Sousa, the worlds
greatest bandleader, better known as
the March King, is undertaking his
first coast to coast tour of the country
since his recent honorable discharge
from the United States Navy, in which
he served as chief bandmaster through
out the war; Sousa has again gathered
his old world famous band about him
and his old well loved organization has
again become active.
He occupies a unique position, in
asmuch as he was the conductor of
the band of the U. s. Marine Corps
for twelve years; honorary musical
director in the Spanish war, and in
the late world war he was lieutenant
of the line in the U. s. N. r. F.
This may be his last tour, and his
many admirers should take advantage
of his appearance in Spokane Friday

Origin Of Jury System
Attributed to Peoples
of European Countries

The exact origin Of the jury system
is not known with certainty, it having
been attributed to different European
peoples which at an early period de-
velOped methods Of trial somewhat
similar to the early jury trials in Eng
land. Trial by battle was cast in the
background by the Norman conquer
ors when the Norman institution Of
recognition by sworn inquest was
adopted. The Curia Regis, or Kings
court. directed the sheriff to select
four knights Of the county by whom
IL knights were selected to serve as
recognitors. After being duly sworn
they inquired into the facts Of inter-
est to the new rulers of England which
might be subject to public inquiry,
such as matters affecting taxation.
Suitors in cases affecting the title
Of real estate, as early as the reign
Of Henry II, 1854 to 1889, applied to
the kings court for recognitors whose
verdict, If unanimous, was accepted
as conclusive.
Originally the jury was selected be-
cause of their knowledge Of the peo-
pie, locality and customs and thereby
passing upon the facts from a more
intimate knowledge of them. During
the reign Of Henry Nv, the jury was
instructed to Judge the facts upon the
evidence submitted to 1t, which is the
single function Of the jury of modern
practice.-Kansas City Star.

signed to equalize American and Brit
ish voting strength in the league of

Monday by a vote of 38 to 40.
On the roll call, which came unex-
pectedly during lull in the debate,

CHANCE TO TAKE
PETROCRAD FADES

London.-The chances of General
Yudenitch, commander of the Russian
northwestern army, to capture Petro-
grad before winter puts an end to op-
erations seems again to be fading.
The bolsheviki have brought strong
reinforcements from other fronts and
have started a successful counter-of-
fensive, which has already resulted in
the recapture of Krasnoye Selo, and
thrusting the Yudenitch. .line south of
that place.
Yudenitch still holds Gatchina firm
ly, according to the British war office
review.
The bolsheviki reinforcements in
clude some of the best communist

itch's troops at several points, and the
latter were obliged to evacuate Tsar-

Peace Ratification Delay Held
Bar to U. S. Participation.
is CREATED BY PACT
Secretary Wilson Maintains Only Ma
tions Accepting Treaty Have
Right to Delegates.

Washington, D. C.-The first of the
international bodies created by the
treaty Of Versailles to meet in Amer
lea, the international labor conference,
convened at noon Wednesday in Wash
ington. Sessions of the conference
are expected to continue for practical
ly a month and to lay the foundation
of a worldwide movement for i'm
provement and standardization of
workers.
Although the legal status of the or
ganizing committee and officials of
the department of labor were agreed
that the delegates who have arrived,
representing more than 30 countries,
should proceed to organize some sort
of conference, Secretary of Labor Will
son still holds the view that only those
states which have ratified the treaty
can participate.
In opening the conference Secretary
Wilson described the assembly as the
conference in the process of being
organized"
The programme included an address
by John Barrett, director of the Pan
American union; report of Arthur
Fontaine of France, committee chair
man; provisional adoption of draft
standing orders and election of COM
mittee on credentials. The question
of the admission of Germany and Aus
tria also were submitted.
The committee on organization will
make no recommendation as to the
seating of the German and Austrian
delegates now en- route here.
This was decided at session of
the committee which also determined
to recommend to the conference that
delegates from all allied and neutral
countries invited be recognized regard
less of whether the powers they repre-
sent have ratified the peace treaty un-
der which the conference will be held.
The question of the German and
Austrian delegates was the first mat
ter to come before the committee at
it's opening session. Secretary H. B.
Butler in announcing the decision said
that individually committee members
favored according delegates from re-
cent enemy states full power, but that
the matter would be left to the con-
ference itself.
Hope is entertained in some quar-
ters that a way may yet be found to
allow the United States to have a
voice in the conference. Samuel Com
pers, president Of the American Fed
GRAFTON of Labor, is member of the
organizing committee and the Ameri-
can federation will be more formally
represented through the Canadian la
Dor delegate, as trade unions in Can
ada are affiliated with the American
Federation of Labor.

PASS DRY BILL OVER VETO
House Insists on Prohibition Measure
176 to IS Votes.

Washington, d. C.-President Will
son Unexpectedly vetoed the prohibi-
tion enforcement bill Monday and
within three hours the house had re-
passed it over his veto by q vote Of
176 to Sc. The total vote was barely
more than majority of the entire
membership.
Dry leaders in the senate immediate
ly began laying plans to repass the
bill there. They expect to ask unani-
nous consent for its consideration,
claiming enough votes to put it
through.
The president refused to sign the
bill because 1t included the enforce
ment Of wartime prohibition.
The objects Of wartime prohibition,
the president said in his veto, had
been satisfied, and "sound public pol
icy makes clear the reason and neces-
sity for its repeal"
It would not be difficult, the presi-
dent held, for congress to deal sepa-
rately with the two issues.
The veto hit congress like q crack
Of lightning. The house, getting on
its feet again, deserted its leaders,
who wanted to defer consideration so
as to round up all the dry members.
But the drys swept into the chamber
and showed there was an overwhelm-
ing sentiment among them to give the
government ample weapons for deal
ing with the liquor traffic, now out
lawed throughout the land.
Nobody had really professed to
know that the president would veto
the bill. Republicans and democrats
alike-and the countless multitude
that had sorrowfully watched the pass
ing of the bars--thought it would be-
come law without his signature.
Attorney-General Palmer, it was said,
had declared it constitutional.
But the president, propped up in
bed, dictated and then signed veto
message and sent it along to congress,
without worrying, apparently, about
what congress might do.
With repassage of the law by the
house and the prospect of the same
thing happening in the senate, hope
Of the big wet spell" that would run
over the Christmas season vanished
into thin air.
Prohibition leaders predicted that
the refusal Of the house to accept the
presidents veto meant that the sale
of liquor would not be permitted again
in the life of this and many other gen.
erations.

Brotherhood Mildly Reproves
Uncle Sam.
OPPOSE INJUNcTI0NS
Policy Outlined "Will Defer if Not
Defeat Settlement"
They Say.

Washington, D. C.-Immediate steps
for assembling at Washington of an
industrial commission to deal broadly
with present turbulent conditions was
suggested Saturday by the advisory
board of the Brotherhood of Locomo-
tive Engineers.
Deploring the attempt at govern
ment by injunction" as "a means Of
settling the coal strike" the board,
speaking for $4,000 members, declared
Injunction proceedings would make
conditions worse ''and defer, if not de-
feat peaceful settlement"
The board stood out for an indus
trial commission that would "recog-
nize the rights Of all citizens and not
be pledged to oppose collective bar
gaining" Its statement, the only for
NAL one bearing on the strike issued
here during the day, was considered
a direct outgrowth of the miners walk
out, and was prepared after full and
careful consideration of all questions
leading up to the break between oper-
ators and mine workers.
Attorney-General Palmer and his as
sociates were cheered by confidential
reports which were said to show ten
dency in some districts to call off the
strike. Some locals were asserted to
be making efforts to this end. In
other places, however, the miners were
reported apparently determined to stay
out until their demands were granted.
In a general way the confidential
reports were along the same lines as
press dispatches, showing that the un-
ion miners almost to man had quit,
while in the non-union mines work
went on without apparent Interrupt
tion.
Attorney-General Palmer's instruc-
tions to district attorneys to watch
sharply for the first evidence of con-
spiracy to restrict the output of coal
or profiteering were taken to mean
that the department of justice was
preparing to open war on agitators
who might invade the mine fields and
attempt to keep out miners willing to
return to their jobs.
With all strike benefits cut off by
the court, officials believe the miners,
or large number Of them, will go
back to work provided they are not
swayed by agitators.

PALMER SWATS PLEA
OF WHINING TRADER

Washington, D. C.-Suggestion from
the Wholesale Coal Trade association
of New York that the government
should not fix a maximum price for
coal or interfere with the normal
course of supply and demand during
the strike brought from Attorney-Gen-
eral Palmer Saturday the vigorous as
sertion that he would take the same
action against persons, enhancing
prices as was taken against the union
officers.
"The action of the government was
taken solely in the general public in
terest," Mr.. Palmer declared, "and I
shall not permit it to be used directly
or indirectly for the benefit of the en-
ployers' side of the controversy"
w. A. Marshall, president of the as
sociation, wrote Mr.. Palmer recon-
mending that miners who want to
work be given protection and that coal
consumers be allowed to obtain fuel
through the usual, normal channels.
He asserted that with adequate pro-
lection enough coal would be produced
to meet the emergency; that fixing
a maximum price would curtail the
operators ability to meet abnormal
production costs caused by the strike
and discourage their efforts to con-
tinue work; that priority lists would
overstock certain consumers and al
low others to go without, and that the
fuel-control act could be used to pre-
vent attempts at profiteering.
