"I don't want to serve on any jury.*' So common a statement is accepted as apart of our national life. No one wants to serve on a jury save the poor devil who, as a "professional juryman," is satisfied with two or three: dollars a day that "vocation" Rives him. Judges rave, they say the public is a part of the judiciary system, and that the public should be as interested in the jury as is the judge and the law court. But did anyone ever hear of a judge trying to reform the outworn, outof-date, ' cumbersome, and illogical procedure which distinguishes the court of justice from all other institions in the country which makes a religion out of efficiency? Busy men, business men, don't want to serve on a jury because they feel that they waste their time. They j know that the work they will there do in a month could be done in a week if the court was properly organized; they contrast the leisurly procedure ?f a court, which opens at ten, lunches from twelve to two, and closes at four m the afternoon, with their own busy days; they contrast the laborious, rorndabout, red-taped method of ordinary court practice with their own df ect-action methods, and begto be excused. The jury is the guarantee of justice in this country; but it works an injustice when it destroys time, labor, and efficiency because of a hide-bound slavery to ancient legal tradition, which comes from an age when time was of little worth, and efficiency a word not yet coined. Next Tuesday will be general election day throughout the United States. In many of the states a new governor will be elected or the present incumbent reelected. In national affairs the election of about thirty-five new lenators, one-third of that entire body w31 be chosen by the voters of the various states and the entire membership of the house of representative. For the past two years both f these bodies have been decidedly ? Republican. According to precedence, past and present, however, there is great uncertainty as to what party will dominate the two bodies in the next congress. The Democrats are climeing a majority and, of course, the party in power expects to retain its majority, both are counting their eggs before they are laid. Summing up the situation a contemporary has this to say: There are those who can recall that in the Reed congress 1889-1891, the Republican had a majority. The result of the election 1890, replaced that majority with a Democratic majority in which there were two Democrats to every Republican. The re suit in the house we think may oe pat down as uncertain until the vote is finally counted. "Eut it would be truly remarkable if the Democrats can get control of the senate. The Republicans have sixty members of that body now, and the Democrats thirty-six. Sixteen of the seats to be filled this fall are held by Democrats and nineteen by Republicans. The' Democrats have six senators certain of reelection in as many Southern states. The Rennklf/idno kavo ah/mt mnnv snrP puuuvtuio ll?? V MVVM? MW pi the Northern states; they are Vermont, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, which elects two, and Maine which has already reelected Hale. Of the twenty-four states classed as doubtful there are put down such ordinary Republican states as Connecticut. Iowa, Massachusetts, Michigan and New Jersey. Republicans are waging a contest in a number of states now aelc! by Democrats which are likely to go Republican, such as Missiouri, New Mexico, Ohio, Rhode Island and j Wyoming; likely we say on the base 1 of probability as elections have been j figured in former years, but no one t knows what may happen this year. "There are many very warm con- .< tests for the senate in the country. \ Virginia has a Sunday quiet on poli- I tics, but it is more than a week day < business in many of our sister states. "There is probably no state, not even Ohio, on which interest centers < more than the one time Democratic ] state of Missouri. There Reed, anti-; ] Wilson Democrat, is again the nominee. His opponent is a stalwart and ahlo Renublican. Manv Democrats allegrinjr that Reed was nominated by . Republican votes are bolting the ticKet. On the other hand Reed is as- ( sured of an enormous Republican support particularly from foreigners} who sympathize with "his course in congress. So widely split open are j the two old parties that correspon-! dents report that if Reed is elected it will be really a Republican victory, and if his opponent wins it will be a Democratic victory. "In a somewhat milder degree the same situation exists in the adjoining state of Iowa. There Smith Brookhart, a radical in sentiment of the La Follette type without the latter's brains and knowledge, has been made the Republican nominee, to the horror of a great number of business njen of that party. "In Ohio, the president's state, the result of the election is looked to determine whether Harding will be a candidate to succeed himself as president. The Democrats are making high claims of victory,, particularly the reelection of Pomerene for senator. If the election is anywhere close, 1 in view of the 400,000 majority Ohio ' gave Harding two years ago, his can- j didacy for renomination is likely to \ get a black eye. Many presidents do i not succeed themselves. This will ' probably be true of Harding. In In- j diana, Beveridge, a former Bull Moos- ( er, is making a spectacular campaign ' for reelection as Republican nominee. 1 It is no secret that if elected he will J run for president. Beveridge has bo j mean opponent for senator, however, ' to reckon with in former Governor Ralston, Democrat, a man of very high type whose hold on his party is expected to bring to the polls many thousands of Democrats who took to the bushes two years ago. "The great state of New York, too, is one to keep your eye on. The j Democrats have made strong nomina- '< tions, and the big foreign vote in New ' York city ordinarily giving a large . Democratic majority, which in 1920 ] supported Harding supported a Democratic candidate for mayor last fall, and may go Democratic now."- , o ] Hardwick Joins Blease and Vardaman ; 1 The Lynchburg, (Va.) News: First ^ it was Blease of South Carolina, then < Vardaman of Mississippi, now it is 1 Hardwick of Georgia?all notorious for their hatred and abuse of Woodrow Wilson, all staging a political come-back in this important year of ' our Lord, 1922, all defeated in their Senatorial aspirations at the hands j of their Democratic fellow citizens! Truly, the consummation is one that * was devoutly hoped for by Southern * Democrats who were loyal to the )a?t administration, who have never wav ered in fidelity to the leadership and ideals of Woodrow Wilson, who entertained unspeakable repugnance for ; such brazen party recreants as the ignoble trio just named. It inspires the party with new hopes; it restores ^ to Southern Democracy the full meas- . ure of its self-respect; it re-instates the political South in the confidence of the nation. In the Georgia primaries of Tues- J day, Governor Hardwick went down t to overwhelming defeat. It may be i that his successful competitor repre- 1 sents standards quite as unenviable * as those typed by Hardwick. But ( it can be said that he is yet not ? famous or infamous, as you please, for a record such as Tom Hardwick . wrote during his senatorial career; that he is not recognized throughout i the nation as a Southern Demociat rt of large prominence who hesitated ' not in time of stress and crisis to * interpose his vengeful opposition J against me secunu uemucrauc pres ident elected since the war. And < hence it remains to be seen whether J he will prove as thoroughly obnoxi- i ous to Rational Democratic senti- ! ment, as did the man whom he has J just unhorsed in the Georgia pri- * mary. He may prove as objection- i able, but he could not well become j more so, and there's the chance, j there's quite a reasonable chance 4 that he will develop into a mora creditable representative and spokesman for this section of the country. The fact that Hardwick has been retired to private life, suffices for the present, as a source of profound satisfaction and relief. It spells good tidings. It is a harbinger of better j things. . I ^serves as a message of j cheer and^fc^ragement to the faith-! fu! of Demoefl^k following every-1 where, especially^M(fl|^iijttfiAMlQ^ connection with the flB^which has but recently come to South Carolina's \ ; ' M' ' nouthiast and cheapest of demagogues, and to Mississippi's most no;orious political fakir.
