Much of the lack of popularity
of iColonel Roosevelt Aviitlh the
politicians is amply made good
by his strong popularity with the
people who do the voting
Governor Aldrich has filed for
renomination and wiill doubtless
time it is bemuse tlie Ohio con
stitutional convention has adopt
ed a clause declaring that uine
jurors may hereafter render a
v erdiet in civil cases They as
sert that this is only another in
dication of the tremendous liolel
radicalism has secured upon the
minds of the people wherein
they no longer regard the
constitution as a sacred thing
Yet there isnt anjr igood reason
at all why it is necessary that a
verdict be a unanimous one
There are instances where the
small minorit1 compels the giving
of a righteous verdict but the
main wbo is wronged by tiho judg
ment of tlie jury lias two chances
of securing redress from the
trial court and from the appellate
coturt There are more instances
where corruption in the interest
of jury d5ixing corporations Ims
prevailed When all that was
necessary to secure a hung jury
was to get a purchased juror in
box tlie trick was easy

So far no other applicants on
the Republican ticket have filed
for tilie office iof county attorn
ey but Mr C D Ritchie the pres
ent incumbent whose conduct of
the office has been very satisfac
tory and efficient so far during
ing Ihis first term making him a
strong candidate no doubt for
the Republican nomination a fac
which is strengthened by the
further fact and ordinary rule of
giving officers who liave given
a gooa account or tnemseives a
renomination and reelection It
would no doubt be highly grati
fying to Mr Ritchie to be able
to land tlie renomination an the
Aprii primary witihout opposition
but whether this sliall be the case
or not he has conducted himself
in sudh a manner during his first
term as to -be able wLt3i the
strong support given him before
to make a winning race for tli3
renomination under any circum

I Body Blow to Speculation I
QAAAAAAAiAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAiAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAiAAAB
Omaha grain and railroad men
are all at sea as to what effect
the reieent decision of the United
States supreme court relative to
grain elevation charges will have
upon this and other markets
However they all agree that it
is a body blow to speculating in
futures and will lv ult in grain
selling for what it is worth
The supreme court holds thati
a flier April lo elevation charg
es cannot be paiel by the railroad
if the grain remains in storage
longer than ten days
For a long time lailrcnds haul
ing grain have allowed eleva
tion cf three fourths of a cent
per 100 pounds or a rcund 3 per
car at terminal markets This
went toward paying tlie ccst of
handling the grain This charge
or rebaije was paid at any time
within a vear providing the
as it was termed
Grain dealers throughout the
country districts in all of the
western states filed complaints
anel the icae went to the United
States supreme court that tri
bunal handing elown a decision
that does not touch the equity of
the charge of thrce fcurtlis of a
cent per 100 pounds but holds
that ten days is a long -enough
time for the grain to be held in
elevators cleaned blended and
then sent on to the consuming
mills or to foreign countries
The grain men have asked for
a rehearing but there are many
of till em wiho do not believe their
appeal has any merit They ad
mit that there is no logical rea
son why grain bought ttoday
shoulel be held for ten months or
a year anel yet receive the eleva
tion allowance especially when
grain amoved cut of the elevator country dealers are not granted
within itihat time Still tit appli the isame privileges
ed to only the leading grain mark

ii3 City Minneapolis and St Lou
is Permitting the grain to re
main in ctonage for a whole yar
if desired permitted speculation
at any period during tint nne
The speculator rcga reliefs of the
actual market conditions could
buy or -ell future for the grain
wjs in storage at any time and
could be shipped out on a days
notice1 th owner thjn lveoiving
his rebate or elevation charge
Dealers say that reducing tlh
time when grain nny rum in in
elevators at the great market
will have a tendency to cut off
most of speculation and the cre
ating of and maintaining of coi
ners and they afao say that if
the rehearing is denied it will
result in grain being elealt in on
its merits
The contention is- that the de
cision affects all markets alike
anel that no one will have any
advantage c er another Bee

to making this race when he
considers bis chances better for
landing the position of represen
tative in the tlistrid to the west
