THE ESSENTIAL, ARGUMENT.

1t is reported that the textile manufacturers
and the dye industry rapidly approaching
! a clash of argument before congressional com
imittees. The textile men are proclaiming their
{opinion that our new dye industry cannot be
made to meet our needs. 1t is not just to say
that their spokesman are opposing a tariff to
|protect this industry as policy; they are rath-
Ter presenting arguments to prove that no tar
tiff can enable the industry to grow to proper
ltions sufficient to supply our demand The
trouble with this agument is that it begs one
important question which is raised in the state
lment of Thomas O. Marvin, of Boston. who de-
clares that "a domestic dye industry is essen
Itial to our independence and comfort" Now
Ian independent dye industry we have today ano
,it Is a growing one. Such arguments as the
textile spokesman advance seem to take it fol
lgranted that of two things is necessary
elther we protect dye industry and make

supply or we open markets to foreign dvt
duets without any protection and thus xii

THE MAJORITY VERDICT.

Sioux City Journal: The South Da-
kota legislature is considering legls-
lation which. IL it becomes law,
will revolutionize the court practices
in civil cases. 1t Is proposed that an
agreement Of three-fourths of jury
impaneled to try a civil action in a
court Of record shall become the ver-
dict Of the entire jury. The idea of
a majority jury verdict is not new
or novel. 1t has been advocated by
progressive members of the bar and
by laymen who believe in expeditions
and substantial justice with the least
expense to the litigants.
/! The merit of the majority verdict
/ has never been questioned. There is
| a difference of opinion as to what
1.-THE majority should be. Some advo-
cate ten juror agreement; others
argue that not more than one man
should have his opinion ignored In
determining controversies in litiga-
ton. The South Dakota scheme pro-
vides that nine out of twelve jurors
shall agree. The law which requires
an unanimous agreement OF the jury
works a hardship and delay that
have brought considerable criticism
upon courts and court procedure. A
Jury in disagreement requires new
trial of the case with all It's attend
ant expense and trouble. The facts
NAV be we'll established. but out OF
the twelve jurors one may take a
view different from that OF the
eleven and because he will not yield,
the trial Of the action fails Usually
the man who hangs jury justifies
his action by declaring the eleven
+, were contrary and refused to change
their minds. But the logic of the
matter is that If nine men out OF
twelve are in agreement on the facts,
there can be no more error in their
verdict than such as comes from
human fallibi1ity.
In actual practice lawyers who
place Immediate success above the
administration of justice endeavor to
so manipulate weak case that one
of the Jurors will take the view OF
I the facts which the lawyer seeks to
establish. In this way, it is hoped
to avoid verdict against the client
though 1t does not strengthen the
case on it's merits and In the end
results in additional costs being as
sessed against the losing side. This
lis one of the evils of practice which
a majority verdict law would elimi
nate. If it accompfishes nothing
J more it will serve a good purpose.
The application of the majority
verdict principle in criminal cases
| stands upon different reasoning. In
such cases life and liberty are al
stake. The rights of persons arc
more sacred in law than the rights
of things The criminal law involves
the rights of persons. The rules o.
. evidence in civil and in crimina
I cases are different. In criminal &C
tions the guilt of the accused must
be established beyong a reasonable
doubt The evidence must be al
J convincing There must not be &
question left in the mind of juror
: Hence, unanimous verdict in such
cases is in harmony with the prin
ciples with which the law surround:
, life and liberty. IN civil cases, the
, evidence need only be preponderat
! ing. If it is stronger on one side
than the other. the stronger side
wins Hence the majority verdict i:
5 in harmony with this principle OF
evidence.

TODAY's BIT OF VERSE
THE THINGS DIVINE

These are the things / hold divine:
A trusting child's hand laid in mine,
Rich brown earth and wind tossed trees, .
The taste of grapes and the drone OF bees, &
A rhythmic gallop. long June days,
A rose hedged lane and lovers lays.
The welcome smile neighbors' faces,
Cool wide hills and open places.
Breeze blown fields Of silver rye,
The Wild sweet mote of plovers cry.
Fresh spring showers and scent OF box.
The soft pale tint of the garden phlox
Lilacs blooming, drowsy noon,
A flight of geese and autumn moon,
Rolling meadows and storm washed heights.
A fountains murmur summer nights.
A dappled fawn in the forest hush,
Simple words and the song Of a thrush,
Rose fed dawns and mate to share
With comrade soul my gypsy fare
waiting fire when the twilight ends,
A gallant heart and the voice of friends.

REEDUcATING DISABLED SOLDIERS.

The federal board of vocational education is
having its troubles, chief of which is the reluc-
lance of ow men who have been partially dis
abled in the war to seek the advantage OF this
education the government provides. A consid-
cradle number of such men have already been
discharged from hospitals and have preferred
to find employment for themselves rather than
apply for training to vacations. The board
pronounces this unwise and it may well be so
in many cases. There is such universal desire
by all our people to show appreciation OF what
our disabled fighters have done that at once
plenty of positions are offered to them. For
"a time disabled man may be able to do well
ION his earnings from work offered in this spirit,
but it is a stern fact that eventually he will have
ito depend on his ability to earn what he gets.
The government is not offering these disabled
men charity; it is doing simple justice In train
ing them to such an earning capacity as they
have sacrificed for the nation in the war In
dustrial plants, technical schools, colleges and
/ high schools have been pre-empted by the
board to offer training to these men. After con-
sultation each man is placed where he will be
educated to work that seems most congenlal to
him He receives pay while he is being edu-
Gated A place is found for him when he Is
ready for it. His future is then as economically
sure as that of any other man. Any man so dis
abled in the war as not to be able to do the
work he was engaged in before he enlisted OF
was selected should feel hinsf not only prlvll-
eyed but in a measure obligated to take advant-
age of this training.

HARD COAL PRICES NOT AFFECTED
BY DR.. Garfeld's Recent Order, Says YER
mont Fuel Administrator.

The Vermont fuel administrator, Fl. J..
NJ. Jones, made the following statement
to-day:
''Dr. Garfield announced to-day that
zone and price regulations on coke and
coal, except Pennsylvania anthracite, will
be suspended Feb /. This refers to mine
prices, wholesalers margin, purchasing
agents commissions and retail margins
and prices.
Among the reasons which prompted
the above determination was the fact
that the stocks of bituminous coal now
on hand throughout the country are suf-
ficient TO provide consumers with btu
minous coal and coke for the winter sea-
son, even if the mild weather thsu far
should be succeeded by period of severe
weather. The average stocks of btu
minous coal for the country on the first
day of January approximated seven
weeks supply; the storage on hand in
the regions most remote from the mines
being sufficient for 20 weeks.
Attention is also called to the fact
that the maximum prices and zone regu-
lations on Pennsylvania anthracite coal,
which is largely domestic, are not affect
ed by the above announcement"

new ruling in some of the departments
