T ie speaker gr.^e facta and showed the results that had been secured. He gave good argument! and facts to show ths sdvar<‘age of scientific marketing through co-operative agencies weH established c.nd hon estly and economically managed . He gave some sccount of the gen eral work of the farmers’', union. He laid great stress on the impor- tr’«'e of reirslnlpg orrsnlzed. Let us keep the uo'on well organised into a close and compact army, so that it can go forward and accom plish grestfr ronlts in the future than in the past. He described some of the results of the efforts of the farmeVs' union !-• s^eurlnc tome legislation In the interests of the agricultural classes.

There are very few candidates for re-election with out opposition who would go to the expense of Disking a tour of their district solely for the purpose of ad vocating reforms. One of Mr. Peurifoy’s arguments Is that the law should be changed so that Instead of requiring an- unanimous vote of the jury to cot>- vict, only a majority should he nec essary. He declares that the one term which he haa served as Solici tor has convinced him that this change is necessary In order that justice might be better meted out. We have often thought along this same line. It Js mighty easy for almost any defendant, especially if he Is a man of ar*y prominence whatever, to secure one man preju diced to him, on a Jury. How many Miss Bessie Mims left MoDirjr foretimes this has bfeen done would he hard to estimate but we are frank to say we believe It has bees done in every county In the State and Id every other State. While It might be easy to secure one Jnror It would he difficult to secure three or four or five or six or seven. We say three or feur be- # . <*we we believe that at first the R. H.

It would be hard to find eight men. , *bo would err on a case—certainly much harder than It is to find one to make a mistrial.
