Phone Main 81. IS THE JURY SYSTEM OBSOLETE The Caplan jury after being out 75 hours could not agree, and yesterday afternoon was discharged. It will cost the county $40,000 to retry the case, and it is not like ly this will be done. It is a wonder, though, in the light of modern judicial procedure, that the judge did not keep them out until they agreed, thus making Caplan's guilt or innocence depend on the staying qualities cf the individual jurors. These are hustling' times especially to the candidates. One more day gentlemen and ' the great event will be pulled off, and so will some of the aspirants. Colonel Roosevelt will let his sporting blood crop out on all occasions. At Chicago the man in charge of his headquarters is named "Bettinghaus." ' A few days ago in Seattle Mrs. Carola Jones, the 19 f Thnmns C Jnnos. hroutrht suit against the parents of her husband for the sum of $25,000 forj alienating ins attecuons. It seems the parents of the husband are quite well off and objected to the marriage of their son because then money placed him in a higher class than that in which his wife belonged. The testimony showed that on the wed ding day the father took the husband home and at once began trying to compel him to get a divorce, finally send ing him to Denver and separating the young couple. A little girl was born to the young pair and this baby the father of it has never seen. In the trial which ended Saturday the jury no doubt thinking the case a rather aggrevated one, gave the young wife the full sum for which she sued, $25,000. The attorneys for the defense at once filed a motion for a new trial on the grounds mat me judgment was "excessive." That was and is the usual course pursued by attorneys. That is what they are paid for. Then the judge took a hand and offered to allow the verdict to stand for $12,500, and gave the wife five days to decide whether she would take the sum. At the same, time he told her that unless she did so he would grant a new trial. That is not what judges are supposed to be paid for, though they are in the habit of arrogating to themselves the right to do so. The twelve men sworn to try the case and render just judgment, heard the testimony just as the judge did, knew all about the details of the affair, and on their oaths said the damages the wife was entitled to was the sum sued for, $25,000. . They did not think the amount excessive, and they were under the law the sole judges. If not what were they called to decide? If the judge can override the jury and decide the case differently from what the jury did, why the jury? If the jury had decided the case against the law as ex plained to it by the judge, he could set the verdict aside and order a new trial. That is conceded, but can he ad mit the judgment was according to law, and then fix the amount of damages, which was clearly the duty of the tVio trouble of selecting a lury? jui v ; ii n,v feu vv v v ! i "v Was the jury called for the sole purpose of deciding that the defendants had taken tne nusoanu away uuu ...:- rni. ,i,f,.,.n n.iininwi fliif Wh.it then was there YVlic! lllc uiitust (uiiiiivim .......... - . v. for the jury to decide but the amount of damages she was entitled to recover? If, after they had decided this point, the judge could set their judgment aside and substitute his own, why the jury? Is the opinion of one man, simply because he has been elected to a certain oince, oeuer man uuu m a iw.cn ui. who have not? If so why fool away time getting the twelve to pass upon the matter? Why the jury? The wife accepted the judges terms. AUat else could she do? She was told that if she did not so accept he would grant a new trial. If the judge refused to allow the jury to give her the amount she claimed in one trial would he do so if another jury would give her the same sum? Having decided the sum was excessive had she any chance in the world of getting a better verdict in another or in a dozen other trials? The judge could set aside a dozen Judgments as easily as one. This brings us face to face with the proposition, that the judge, not the jury, is the one to decide questions of both fact and law. If this is correct, why have a jury system? With so many aspirants for the legislature pledged to reduction of taxation, it is a safe bet that some of the state institutions will suffer unless the legislators find out they cannot reduce taxation and at the same time give the people what they want. It is not state taxes that general ly pinch, but those of a local character. City, school and road districts are the great tax eaters. The county clerk nomination in Multnomah is causing considerable bitterness. Some of the disgruntled ones are kicking about the Coffey in that department. W If!

If dandelions were desired, if they would bring in mon, if every gardener aspired to raise them by the ton, they'd make a specialty of death, they'd languish from their birth, and shrivel at the slight est breath, and perish from the earth.
