" IDIOSYNCRACIES OP JURIES.
The trial of the murderer, Henibree,
at Tillamook, develops some more of the
extraordinary vagaries of the juridical
mind. 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!

GO SLOW, MR. 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'

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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."
