The jury system should be abolished in justices' courts. It has been demon strated time and again, that juries in the justice courts of Clackamas county, fail to convict in nine cases out of 10. In many instances the testimony is con elusive, but the juries bring in a verdict of not - guilty, and the taxpayers foot the bills. It keeps pedestrians busy on upper Seventh street dodging bicycle scorchers on the sidewalks. That street is now in excellent condition for wheelmen, and why the authorities permit such things on one of the most crowded thoroug- fares, is a nine days' wonder. Some of the admirers of Sam Jones, claim that bis preaching is in a difl'er- ent vein from the matter of his lec tures at Gladstone park.

The Telegram recently suggested that the sword for Oolonel Summers, be pre sented at San Francisco. Ringler, the Chautauqua sports mas ter, claims that this paper did not treat him riiilit in reference to matters on the athletic field. Why didn't be treat the Jolly Fellows baseball club right? It is reported upon pretty good au thority that at least two of the Oregon City volunteers will stop off at Albany, and go into the Santiam country to lo cate homesteads before retnrning home.
