THE COMMON COURTS.
"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."- ,

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.
Vardaman, Blease, Hardwick! Consider
their past records, and look
jpon them now. Verily, the mills of
:he Gods grind slowly, but they grind
?xceeding well.
