ROOSEVELT GETS OVATION
OUR FARCICAL JUDICIAL SYSTEM
The strongest possible arraignment of the American
system of criminal procedure is the time and manner of
securing a jury in the Orpet case. The trial was called
May 15, 2-1 clays ago and a jury of twelve men has just
been secured. To get them required the summoning of
twelve venires, and the examination of 12::6 men as to
their qualifications. It shows under our judicial system
what trifling excuses will allow a juryman to be set aside,
and to what length an attorney can go in sorting the
whole country over until he gets a jury that suits him.
Some day the American voters will awake to the utter
farce our judicial system is becoming and do away with it
.entirely.
Reels of red tape and volumes of precedent; oceans of
technicalities and libraries of rules; but justice an un
known quantity.
It provides one code of morals for the citizen and an
other for the lawyers. A citizen who aids and assists a
criminal in getting free and clear, becomes under the
code a party after the fact. The lawyer who does the
same thing is all right.
Under our system we allow the defendant an attorney
at the state's expense if necessary, in order to insure him
s fair trial, This is eminently correct. Every accused
person has a right to a fair trial and to have his defense
properly made by an attorney. The trouble is this has
been carried to the extreme, and the attorney is not satis
fied with seeing his client has a fair trial, but even know
ing him guilty brings all his legal training to bear to clear
him despite his guilt. He deliberately becomes an acces
sory after the fact, in his effort to clear his client.
It is not the criminal law alone that has become help
lessly entangled in a maze of red tape and precedents, but
the civil law is just as bad. Something will have to be
done to simplify and purify the legal system, or, it
will not be long until this is made an issue at the polls.
Everyone is supposed to know the law, but they have to
employ an attorney to transact the simplest matter of
legal business, and then it is not always correctly done."
It is a maze of redundant language and a wilderness
of distorted vocabulary. Civilly, in making a deed to a
piece of real estate the grantor grants, bargains, sells,
remises, releases and quitclaims, before he can make him
self intelligible to the law; and criminally, he wilfully,
deliberately, unlawfully and with malice aforethought,
assaults, wounds and shoots with a gun, pistol, firearnv
blunderbuss or cannon, then and there loaded with lead
en, iron or metal bullets, then and there placed in said
gun, pistol and all the balance of it, not forgetting the
powder or other explosive which propels the bullets
aforesaid.
If you would prepare to die and would make a will you
must "give, devise, and bequeath;" and so it goes through
the whole list. The Orpet case illustrates the farcical
pide of it. Just imagine the judge and attorneys, clerks
and sheriirs and the whole judicial paraphernalia being
engaged for 21 days selecting twelve men who were cap
able of acting as jurymen in such a trial.
It is noted that our friend Dean Collins in Sunday's
Oregonian gives the Capital Journal credit for almost
guessing the shortest poem which was a single period.
The Capital Journal devil being somewhat piqued at his
failure this morning submits just two blank lines, which
he explains read "Bare, There," and adds "I would like
to see that Dean Collins get anything shorter than that."
We wash our hands of it and leave it to the devil and
Dean.
Colonel Roosevelt was certainly given a great ovation
in the republican convention yesterday, when Senator
Fall of New Mexico, concluding his nominating speech
mentioned his name bedlam broke loose. It was the great
est, longest, and noisiest demonstration, the only real
live one outside of that given Hughes, of the convention.
' It however was not a general expression of the con
vention's' sentiment, but rather that of the admirers of
the Colonel, who like their hero,'are some noise makers.
A young woman in gray and a gray haired woman
developed enthusiasm to the point of hysteria, and to the
general din some one added the tintinabulations of a big
cow bell. This was the Roosevelt side of it.
The real sentiment was shown by the action of the old
leaders, and this not only showed the feeling but gave an
intimation of the conventions course. Senator Harding
smiled and sat down to wait for the din to cease.
Hilles sat biting his finger nails. Smoot was rather
amused, DePew quit joking, and Crane never batted an
eye.
Uncle Joe Cannon remarked "the demonstration was
interesting, but not important," adding: "If you will
look around you'll see that not 10 per cent of the
gallery is participating and not two per cent of the
delegates."
This however was the situation last night when this
was written. What the result will be will probably be
told on the front page of the Capital Journal Saturday.
The fact that the Colonel got a rousing ovation, however,
remains whether he gets more than that or less.
Fi
T
They Cannot Agree On One
of Themselves, But Are
Ready for Hughes
Whatever else has been done the conventions have
been run according to schedule. Last night the repub
licans adjourned after taking two ballots just as they
had agreed to dof and the progressives put off naming
Roosevelt until the republicans got through balloting.
They are playing" real honest politics, if there is such a
thing.
Mr. Roosevelt's offer this morning to accept Lodge as
a compromise candidate, was so raw an attempt to put
himself in the position of offering a real compromise
which the republicans ref usedr even the Progressive
leaders hooted at it.
Henry Ford is already an "also ran," his supporters
dropping him after the first ballot. Which reminds one
of the lettering on the old English tombstone over a
baby: "If so soon I'm cut and done for, what in was
I begun for?"
The Capital Journal has been giving all the national
convention news ahead of its morning contemporaries
every day. This paper has printed the most complete
and best-written reports of any paper in the state.

The democrats hold their convention at St. Louis, be
ginning Monday. It will not have the varied stunts of
the other party conventions having nothing to do but
painting the platform, which is already built, and nom
inate President Wilson to succeed himself. If the old
parties in Chicago don't hurry the democrats will beat
them to the nomination as well ns the election.
Roosevelt says he will support Lodge for president
More proof that the colonel is absolutely fearless.

THE GLAD MONTH
I love the balmy month of June, when all the sunlit
plain is strewn with handsome growing things; when
every bird's so full of glee it takes its perch upon a tree,
and humps itself and sings. - 'Tis then the
world seems at its best, for at Dame
Nature's mild behest, it sheds its hoary
years, and seems scarce old enough to vote,
as 'twas when Father Adam smote his pair
of brindled steers. From my den window I
can see a poor old dead and withered tree,
that lightning hit one day; but June is
draping it with vines, and each green ten-
yfy' dril.ns it twines, will hide some small decay.
i:'Af.Jj June nas tne wann, reviving breath; she
hates the sight and chill of death, and hides
the tombs with grass; Old Winter wounds and mauls and
mars, but June, she covers up the scars which come
again, alas! June says, "Forget all thoughts of doom!
Yours are the fragrance and the bloom, the roses blush
ing red; enjoy this month while it endures, enjoys the
world while it is yours you'll be a long time dead!"

Chicago, June 10. The second break
in the ranks of the favorite sons came
early today. Following the withdrawal
of Governor Brumbaugh after the first
ballot yesterday, the managers of Law
rence V. Sherman gave up the ship
about dawn. Illinois will join the
Hughes forces on the first ballot today
and Sherman delegates, scattered else
where, are expected to follow. Other
breaks iu the allied rauks are expected
soon after balloting is under way, until
the field is narrowed down to three or
four men.
Favorite sons' row was not a cheery
spot about 4 a. m. today. Frazzled man
agers slipped away for a few hours rest
after a series of long conferences, but
it was evident the pow wow.- had avail
ed nothing iu the way of a combination
to head off Hughes.
The managers of Burton, Fairbanks.
Cummins and Root were ready to renew
the liattle, but they had not agreed on
one of their candidates to be the recipi
ent of their combined strength. Indi
vidually, they declared it possible to
prolong the contest by continuing each
favorite son for himself but none was
willing to say Hughes might not win if
an attempt was made to narrow the
fight to Hughes and one favorite son.
Overtures were made during the fight
by Hughes managers, first to this fa
vorite and then to that, offering them
the vice-presidency if it would deliver
his strength to Hughes. The vice-presidential
bait did not appear attractive,
as all realized the moment they began
dickering for second place, their chance
for first place would go glimmering.
A number of definite plans were un
der consideration by the favorite man
agers today. Onp was to start a move
ment for Senator Warren G. Harding in
the hope that the favorite son delegates
might be able to combine on him and
defeat Hughes.
I'ninstructed delegations wre being
watched by the favorite sons. Word was
coming in early today that first one
uninstructed state and then another
would break away and go to Hughes.
