SPENCER INSISTS
 GRAND JURY WENT BEYOND AUTHORITY
tConssnuea from Page Five,

report of the grand jury. In this there can be nothing improper
 The fourth paragraph critic.ses tie grand jury for demanding the resigita- tion of Gwin and points out that in so doing it has usurped functions not py law delegate to that body. A close analysis will show such criticism to be wholly nerited. Before making the de- mand for his designation, the grand jury must necessarily have reached the con clusfon that MT. Gwin was not proper person to be q member of the board ot revenue. Was this not in substance and in effect an attempt to render a judg ment of impeachmen against that off cer? And by demanding the resignation, did it not attempt to put it's judgment into effect? Yet the law says that when the grand jury believes public official to be unfit to hold office, it shall com mence impeachment proceedings which in due course will bring the official ac- cused to trial before competent court, composed of a judge and jury, and after hearng all the evidence, the jury shall render it's verdict and the court shall render it's judgment which, to- gether, determine whether or not the official shall continue to hold office. Yet has not the grand jury in the case in hand in effect presumed to do all these things?
 CRITIC IS QUOTED
 N Tn criticizipg the above my critic

ent from the proceedings of grand 3uries of which we ordinarily speak2 To say that Mir GwinH W was represented on this grand jury by two-thirds of the men on it is to make an impossible statement The duties which the grand jurors were swornr to perform were to hear such matters as might have been brought to their attention and to make their report to the proper of ficials, and not to represent officials whose acts were being called into cues tion before them. My critic also stated that MT. Gwin himself did not testify before the grand jurors
 Now from the above does it not appear that the grand jury in question has assum ed. to try and convict MT Gwin without giving that official his day in court or even hearing what he had to say in his own behalf? If you were charged with a crime, would you consider that you had fair trial if in your absence, you had been tried by 3 grand jury merely because some members of that grand jury might have 3ee@ so'-'cal supporterse
 I submit that the ordinary. average. every day man does not need con stitutional lawyer to tell him that when he iss charged with an offense, ef'r constitution eifarantees to him a. fair and impartial trial before a duly constituted court fnot a grand jury, before which he has a right to appear make his own defense and be con- fronted by his accusers.
 The fifth and last paragraph of the article needs no comment.
 Tn conclusion have no doubt that the members of the grand jury acted energetically and eonscientiousIy in the investigation of conditions and in rem dering an account of their services to the public. But neither does their zeal nor their interest in the public welfare enlarge the scope of their authority or present an excuse for the usurpation of powers not legally Delegated to them. And when the members of the grand jury do go further than they are legally authorized to do, they are sub ject to criticism just as much so as any other public official including members of the board of revenue. And finally let me repeat there is no valid excuse for denying for any reason to any man a fair trial and his day in court"

PICKING PROGRESSING
Rapidly Gathering Cotton Crop In All
 Sections of the Belt

Washington, october 1s.-With ideal weather prevailing. gathering of cotton progressed satisfactorily in all sections of the belt during the last week. ai- though there was some local complaint Of labor shortage according to the weekly national weather and crop bull letin of the department of agriculture. temperatures averaged somewhat be- TOW normal in much of :he cotton belt, ana the week was practically rainiess.
 Very little. change was reported in the general condition, the bulletin said, or the crop since last week.
 The report declared the crop matured in central and southern South Carolina, adding that it vas complete in the southern sections of Georgia and Ar Kansas and some sections of Alabama, and that harvesting was practically finished in Louisiana, nearly complete in southern sections, and we'll advanced elsewhere in Texas. and that fair top crop was in sight in the latter state.

Tremendous Crowds Attend Two Performances of the Greatest Show on Earth"

Multitudes journeyed out to Smiths park yesterday afternoon and last night to witness performances of the Barnum and Bailey and Ringing Brothers circuses combined They niied every available seat, spilled out into the track, until the hippodrom e races drove them to cover and when TO more could be accommodated the overflow found what enjoyment they could in the sideshow or treked back to town sorely disappointed.

 It would hardly be exact to say tlte circus IS larger this year than ever be- fore. because ii could not be much larger and get about, but it is as good as ever and offers a newildering en- tertainment. in which there is nearly every kind of circus act imaginable, except diving Venus and trained seals It was rumored on the streets yester- day that there were some seals but all were mysteriously poisoned short ly before the show reached Birming- ham. They were not missed
 There were trained animals galore and human performers who risked life and limb in all manner of death defy ing feats. Such stars as Byrd Milman queen of the tight wire, and Miss Liet- gel. an amazing athlete, both of whom have special spotlights, maids in at tendance and all the appurtenances of circus aristocracy, made their appear ance, along with a host of other per formers who presented a programme as diversified as it was excellent

 Team Personnel
 "At the beginning of the prestnt season, MT. Smardan called a basket ball meeting and laid tentative plans for the reorganization of a team About ten men answered the sum mons to be present, several new men among the number. Lately per manent organization was effected consisting of MT Smardan as man ager and Creed Brettain as Captain.
 As yet no coach has been obtained but from the results so far. it seems a coach would add little to the organ ization'
 The personnel of tho team is as follows:
 Manager Jack Smardan, Portland City Champs 1912-13-14.
 Captain Creed Brettain, U. of Ore gon, 1919.
 Harry Williams, J. II. S. Champs 1915.
 Clement Hodges, J. II. s. Champs, 19l418.
 Joseph Flanagan. Spokane High School 1918.
 Harvey Furbush, U. of Idaho 1916.
 Harlan k. Herner, J. II. s. Chaums 1912-1S, Royal College Champs and Calgary Collegiate.
 Season Ends Dec. IS
 At a banquet given the team sey eral weeks ago by Manager Smardan, q discussion arose concerning the length of the season. It was decided that December 15 should officially close the affairs of the 1920 team The possibility of holding @ formal basketball dance was also discussed at that time without adverse criti- cism.
 To date the Thane team has not played a scheduled game though Il has met the Juneau High School team in several practice games. In the first practice of the year, II. R. Herner, last years team captain injured his right foot and il is doubt ful if he will be able to play this season.
