THE.P4RTY OR THE NATION?

Accusing his opponent for the republican nomi-
nation for the senatorshp OF backing a whispering
campaign against permitting follower Of
Roosevelt to again hold office Mr. Beverage has
raised something more than a party issue.
There increasing thousands of men and
women who little for the family quarrels of
parties but who have a very keen interest in the
forces which control parties
If the republican party is under control of the
same interests which forced Roosevelt i'm self
respect 20 desert it in 1912 and which carried with
it men like Beveridge, who held his ideals of gov
eminent the appeal Of Senator New is well taken.
If the party stands for interests of Privilege
which Roosevelt denounced pilloried as menaces
to the public welfare If it welded to the forces
of reaction, follower of Roosevelt should either
be able or willing to wear it's livery.
Mr.. Beverage is mistaken If he believes that the
mere getting together of leaders can heal that d.
vision, for it break that was based upon prin-
cfple that exempiifed the eternal struggle between
the control by the dollar and the control by men

he supplies the answer in his own Platform of de-
nunciaton Of the purchase Of nominations by un-
limited use Of money.

New in his vote for Newberry because in his theory
of government, there was nothing wrong in the
Newberry election and it the chosen method
Of the conservative wing of that party to use what
ever dollars are needed to get results.
Newberryism is as abhorrent the progressive
thought Of, today Boss Barnes was to Roosevelt
in his battles.
The truth is that the settlement of the family
quarrel was little more than an agreement to con-
tnue the clash without that party for control of its
principles the losers promising to the party
IN the clash with the democrats in the fall
The same old battle is raging now and will always
until it is definitely settled whether the repub-
ican party is to stand for the of Roosevelt
and the spirit of Roosevelt or TO be definitely fixed
as the party of reaction.

There Is hut one theory on which private Prop

such ownership promises more for the common good
than does any other system

they are made for the and protection OF loved

HAS THE JURY SYSTEM FAILED?

The guilt OF Madalynne remains unsolved

guilty of the crime OF murder Two men and one
woman said that she was innocent-and so the state
OF California burdened with duty of prosecuting
crime. must pay many thousands Of dollars to again
rehearse the evidence.
In san Francisco a third 'jury is graphing with
the problem of whether not Fatty Arbuckle killed
lady guest Two others failed to reach that unani-'
nous agreement which the law calls for in cases
where human life and liberty is in jeopardy
Certain forces Jealous for convictions in
liquor cases solenly propose that the jury system
be abolished because it is not often that u men
and women will agree to convict offender. even
IN the face OF almost overwhelming evidence.
In the view Of the frequent disagreements and
evident failure justice triumph. the question
may be seriously asked as to whether the jury
system is fitted to the present day needs.
It's place i'm the history of Jurisprudence dates

an residents were more intimately acquainted
with one another The right to trial by jury
wrested from the forces OF tyranny which had used
their. arbitrary power over human life to destroy
their enemies
The first written law for juries wrested from
an English king at the point OF a. sreer and the
jury Of that day contemplated trial before peers,
or the equals and neiehbors of the accused.
The fixing of - as the number to serve upon
ures was for tho purpose of making the jury fairly
wei representative of the community, to draw to-
rether men from OF life that the verdict
of the Jury was in reality the verdict OF the COM

The other route Is for majority, three

where only money is at stake and it works fairly

But whether tho glaring cases OF failure OF the
law are such as to dislodge the time honored pro-

not been concusiyely proven.
