One juror holds out strenuously for innocence and acquittal; nothing can alter his conclusion; he calmly an- r.ounees hi conviction and decision, and his eleven colleagues can fall in line, find some other verdict, or go to tbe devil for all he cares. .They wrangle all night and with the up-coming sun "compromise'' on a verdict of man slaughter. This is a sample of the jus tice that is meted out in the jury room nd against which there is no appeal. There were three cnme9 involved in the arraignment of Hembree ' in the popular mind; two murders and incest. Yet twelve men of supposedly normal intelligence sit in judgment upon him, hear all the testimony adduced for and against him, and because one of their number, avowedly his friend, stands up determinedly for his freedom, the eleven must, perforce, "compromise" their de ductions and bring in a life-sparing verdict. This sort of stuff makes one yearn for the traveling jury of England ; for the system that purges the jury room of friend and foe of tbe criminal; tKat gives the criminal and the people a fair deal in the vital phases of the inquiry. Hembree was guilty of mur der, or he was innocent of it. That was the sum of ascertainment expected at the hands of this jury. "Compromise" in a jury room is a peculiar condition of crime in itself, and every atom of power within the purview of the law should be brought to bear against it. It i invariably, a mockery of justice; and a menace to tbe freedom of the alleged criminal or the rights of the people. casts all law to the winds of heaven ami acuities the terrific and and damnable code of selfgovernment, without respon sibility to any man living. It is this primary analogy between the two doe trinea that mislead the ordinary o cialisit, and he will do well to think deeply and b on hi guanl against the peril toward which the anarchist i en tioing him. Go alow, Mr, Socialist! 0 WASHINGTON, THE SUPERB1 There is no American living who will begrudge the cost of making the na tional capital the grandest city on earth, It is the purpose of Congress to onernl miliums ia the adornment of the seat oi government until nothing shall equal it in magnificence of appointment and equipment; until all that art, inventive genius, and adroit adaptation) conceiv able in the national mind, has been ap plied to make it the sum of perfection. if beautiy, and in convenience this is as it should be. It must be the typical c'ty of the highest racial type on earth and no year must pa without some splendid manifestation of this great pur pose.

SOCIALIST! Eugene V. Debs declares his willing ness to lead a million men in tbe en deavor to free Moyer, Haywood and Pettibone from the Idaho jail in which they are confined, charged with com plicity in the murder t Governor Steun enberg, by bloodshed if necessary, peaceably if possible. Go slow, Mr. So cialist! This is neither France, nor Russia, and there may be obstacles. The average American is perfectly able, of himself, to draw the line between socialism and anarchy and he will draw it at a juncture of that sort in 1 fashion that will demonstrate, for all time to come, the niceties of his judg ment and the infallibility of his pur pose. We have no quarrel with social ism as a doctrine; it has many beauti ful and serviceable things to commen-1 it, and it may be, that in the course of time, it will supply many reform bases for the administration of government and society; but the instant it assumes to be greater than the American law, trat instant it becomes anarchy and ths reprisals it will invoke are not pleasant ' tc contemplate. This is not the first instance of honest socialists being led by crazy anarchists. The propogandas of the two cults run parallel for quite a distance in studies and precepts, but there is a point where they separata to meet no more; where the socialist takes up the full and excellent course oi a law ordained and administered by j all, for all; and where the anarchist' A Russian woman may not enter uni versity unless she is married. o Be orderly. A disorderly, careless woman win never have a comiortaoie home. Think well of other people and 'you will have reason to think well of your self. , o Scandals are things that a woman should not know, not even when she knows them. The English woman suffragists are taking the ballot quite seriously. It is said that one of them slapped a man threte timep in quick succession) and kicked him twice. The presence of gen tlemen seemed to make no diffeernce. o The women have found out that Venus de Milo's waist is too big and that it is due to the careless way she is standing. Women have so little re peet for ideals that they would put a straight front on the Goddess of Lib erty if they could get near her. I The Ministry as a Vocation y av. Dr.lt I. MACARTHUft of New York City STILL hold to the old fashioned idea that tho ministry is a vocation rather than a profession. The recent trend of thought U in favor of simply regarding it as a profession, to bo adopted or rejected AS ARE OTHER TROFESSIOiNS in tho light of a man' qualifications and predilections. Tho matter of qualifica tions and tastes must not, of course, be neglected, but I still believe that tho summons to tho gospel ministry is a special calling under Gods providential guidanco TO A SPECIAL WORK for tho good of men and tbo glory of G oil. I should say that no boy ought to enter tho ministry unless con sciousnesa of this call bo tho dominant and resistless conviction of his life. ' ' ' ' ' It ' ': ' ' I THE MOMENT MEN ENTER THE MINISTRY UNDER THE IM PELLANT FORCE OF ANY OTHER MOTIVE THEY DEGRADE THE MINISTRY, DISHONOR THEMSELVES AND LESSEN THEIR OWN POSSIBILITIES FOR A USEFUL AND JOYFUL LIFE. In determining tho reality of tho divine call to the ministry duo weight ought, of course, to lo attached to physical health, literary tastes, elocutive expression and spiritual attainment and CHARAC TER. The presence or absenco of those qualities will assist in deter mining tho reality of the divine call. It will be a sad day for the cause of God and man if tho old fashioned idea expressed in tho pbraao "Woe is mo if I preach not the gospel" be obliterated from our Chris tian literature and bo not DOMINANT in deciding the question of entering the ministry. Feeling of the English por the Americans By Bl.hop H. C POTTER of New York ' H ! t OU may depend upon it, there's NO LOVE LOST between Great Britain and America. I think there is a good deal of gush about British protestations of love for America. The more acute and serious of the British people do not think we are a nation of grafters, but they think we are VERY EASILY TEMPTED by gain. I feel sure that the chief difference between America and Great Britain is 'that we wash our dirty linen in public and Great Britain washes hers IN PRIVATE. British ideas of Americans aro a good deal on the vague. I don't think they are just to us. They have certain impressions of us AS WE ARE NOT. in Englishman in the diplomatic scrvico is promoted first of all because he has shown some gift, but American consulates and colonial offices are given for political service. HERE IS ANOTHER CHANCE FOR THE PRESS TO WORK A REFORM. HAMMERI HAMMERI WANTS CONFERENCE. President of Mutual Policyholders' sociation Calls Meeting. Ai Some men, after being married a few years, imagine that all a wife needs is a home and three meals a day, with now and then some new clothes. And yet during the process of winning the love of that wife he told her he could not live without her. What is more, he be lieved it at that time. o Some of our good people are profess ing to be shocked and some others are indignant because Queen Margarita of Italy said that women may prove their intellectual force as truly in rearing healthy and great children as by writing books or painting pictures. Yet Queen Margarita therein declared an everlast itig, indestructible, wholesome truth, and the hope of humanity lies in the fact that she is not the only woman who thinks so. There are thousands of un crowned American queens who think so end do their best to live up to itheir creed. The others do not much mat ter. Their line will die with themselves or soon after them. o A Tragic Finish. A watchman's neglect permitted a leak in the great North Sea dyke, which a child's finger could have stopped, to become a ruinous break, devasting an entire province of Holland. In like man ner Kenneth Mclver, of Vanceboro, Me permitted a little cold to go unnoticed until a tragic finish finish was only averted by Dr. King's New Discovery. He writes: "Three doctors gave me up to die of lung inflammation, caused by a neglected cold; but Dr. King's New Discovery saved my life." Guaranteed best cough and cold cure, at Charles Rogers' drug store. 50c and $1.00. Trial bottle free. What we want to know is this: Why is it that a short woman always has a high voice? Twenty-Year Battle.

Bruce, of Farmville, Va. Best for old Ulcers, Cuts, Burns and Wounds. 25c at Charles Rogers, druggist, J NEW. YORK, July 30. Bernard N. Raker of Balitimore, president of the Mutual life Policyholders' Association, a dispatch yesterday asking for a confer ence on Tuesday regarding a joint pol icyholders ticket to be put up in opposi tion to the Mutual's so-called "adminis tration ticket" for trustee. The nomi nation of tnis last ninned ticket Mr.4 Baker characterized aj "astounding in its puerility and fatuity." Mr. Baker brings home, he said, the assurance of Wilfred Lawon of the British committee of the Mutual Ijf Policyholders that that association will cooperate against the present manage ment of the Mutual Life. He said, a meeting had be.' i arranged with Mutual policyholders in France, but did not ccme off because it was announced that the Mutual Life probably would with draw from France. WOMEN'S WOES. Astoria Women Are Finding Belief at Last. It does seem that women have more than a fair share of the aches and pains that afflict humanity; they must "keep up," must attend to duties in spite of constantly aching backs, or headaches, dizzy spells, bearing down pains; they must stoop over, when to stoop means torture. They must walk and bend and work with racking pains and many aches from kidney ills. Kidneys cause more suffering than any other organ of the body. Keep the kidneys well and health is easily maintained. Read of a remedy for kidneys only that helps and cures the kidneys and is endorsed by people you know. Mrs. John Close, of 230 Commercial street, Astoria, Ore,, says: "I just as ardently recommend Doan's Kidney Pills now as I did some three years ago when they relieved me of a revere attack of backache and kidney complaint. I never before used any remedy that acted as promptly and effectively as Doan's Kid ney Pills which I procured at Charles Rogers' drug store on Commercial street, my belief is that if this medicine fails to give relief to anyone Buffering from kidney troubles there is nothing else that will relieve. I cheerfully recommend Doan's Kidney Pills to all troubed as I was." For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents. Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, New York, sole agents for the United States.
