Judged only by statistics of pro

THE FAILURE OF TRIAL BY JURY
The principle of trial by Jury
which we are accustomed to rate so
highly as “the palladium of our civ
il rights,” as Blackstone terms if,
received a severe blow In the acquit'
tal of Pat Crowe in Omaha last Fri
day. Crowe kidnapped the son of
Edward A. Cudahy, the wealthy Oma
ha packer anJ extorted the payment
of $25,000 from the father for the re*
lease of his son.
Mr. Cudahy paid the money to
save his son from the fate of Charley
Ross, but afterwards he had Crowe

A WORD TO THE FARMERS.
The farmers are supposed to know’
their ^business better than their
woull-be advisers, but a word on the
right line may help them to avoid a
mistake. What we have in mind is
the tendency to plant for a big crop
of cotton because of the high price
of that product. In our dispatches
yesterday from Valdosta, It was sta*
ted that the fertilizer factories had
called ofT their agents because their
sales had already reached the full
amount of their output. The sales
of the Valdosta factories have been

A GOOD DEAL OF A BORE.
We are getting rather tired of the
no*th pole. It has been overdone.
Time was when we .were Intensely
curious to know’ about it and thought
perhaps its discovery might have
some commercial value, but now it
is different. We know pretty well
that nothing is to be gained by lo
cating the pole beyond the satisfac
tion of a dulled curiosity and the am
bition of the hunter. We can get on
very well without the alleged "geog
raphical and scientific facts’’ to be
adduced by the discovery And we
are tired of making heroes of the
plain or garden chumps who go in
search of the pole. Every man who
wants to he a hero and break into
print trots off to discover the north
pole and comes back afterward and
tells us how and why he failed, and
will we make up a purse to send him
again? Sure to find It this time. It’s
getting to be a nuisance. Let the
old pole alone. Nobody want* it
anyway.

Jurymen allowed their prejudices
against Cudahy to blind them to
their duty to do Justice, and in the
Interests of all fathers to punish this
kidnaper and extortioner. They pro-
nounced him not guilty, and Pat
Crowe’s comment on their verdict is:
“Thoro are a good many people In
this world who don’t like the way
Cudahy got his money any better
than the way he lost It.”
By this verdict one of the rankest
pieces of villainies ever committed
is condoned and npproved. The kid
naper is released and encouraged to
steal some other rich man’s son and
compel ransom, since a Jury declares
it is no crime. The verdict w’as ap
