The Question of Trial by Jury. (By the Associated Press.) Lincoln, Neb.. August C. W. J. Pryaa issued a statement replying, to a circular fcsued some weeks ago by the National Association of Manufacturers and sighed by James W. Van Cleave. Mr. Bryan declares that the pamph let or Mr. .Van Cleave- raises two iuestions: First. Is there anything in the labor plank of the Democratic platform to which business men can Justly take exception, and second. Is the labor question so important to business men as to justify them In Ignoring all other Issues? Air. Bryan declared that the pro vision in the Democratic platform for the creation of a labor department with a. cabinet officer at its head can not liossibly offend business men. He, then says: "The platform draws a distinction between associations or wage-earner organized for tlia protection of wages and he improvement of labor condi tions and industrial corporatkms which act in restraint or trade. The lireretMv letveeii a lalor organiza tion nnd a lru.t U mi jipnarcnt that no dNntercxled imthihi will -deny that they houl! lx trcntiHl Mimralcly.

Tin miliiex men nil have no vital concern in Includliig tlie Iflbor orgaiil7Jtiloiw In the ami tmM bws." ; Mr. liryan then takes up the plank provldlnj? for trial by Jury.tn pa- of Indirect contempt.. He Insists that this cannot raise a question of vital con cern to business- men, beeauso every man has a right to a jury trial. He then says: I . "An attempt hifs lieen made to raise fbe lne fit rcgajni to the courts and to make it apiear that the de mand for trial by jury is an assault npon tire Integrity of the ctmrts. Those who make this argument might as well Insist on the abolition of the jury n all cases for the jury system itself U just as much a reflection upon the bench as Is this demand for trial by ury m tnese particular c-asew. "But there is another latMir plank that Mr. Van (leave probably has In mind. ThU is the plank that declares that parties to all judicial prtM-eetl- ngs Khonld lie treated with rigid im partiality, and that an injunction should not lie Issued In any casc in whiclt an injunction would not lie If no Industrial disputes were Involved. ;)o the hnsinem men Insist npoirpar iality In jmliilal prK-cdliigs? Do they nsist that the mere fact that there is an Industrial dispute should justify an I nj miction? That plank kUh nnl at tempt to. Interfere with t lie Issue or an injunction where other conditions Justify It. but It dMs oppose the Issue of an injunction merely for the pur- hwp of bringing the court into the discussion of an liHlustrlal dispute. "Sir. tan Cleave asserts tliat this plank rouses a class spirit and on- stltutes a demand for 'class favors.' But this Is not true. It is a dclaratlon that the writ of injunction should not beMtised for the purpose of creating a class or favoring a class. The labor ing men resent an attempt to discrim inate against them In favor, of any other Class." , ' Mr, Bryan In conelusion declares that Mr. Van Cleave does the business man an injustice in seeming that his waklnghours are filled with fears of wage-earners and that his night's rest is broken by imaginary disputes with those who toil.

The mid night roblerIe8 that have been so fre quent in Wilson of late continue, and notwithstanding the fact that police men are ever on the watch for them they continue to terrorize and plunder. Sunday nightlast some one entered the residence of Mr. w. E. Perry, in the Southern section of the city. They entered through a window the bed chamber of Mm Perry- She screamed and the wretch was frightened away. Tuesday night they were seen prowl ing around the residence of Prof. C. L. Coon. A neighbor had his eye on the party and was only waiting to catch them dead to 'rights before send ing a leaden pellet in their direction.'. They got wise to the fact that they. werq, being shadowed and beat a hasty retreat. Later in- the night Mrs., Royall. who lives only a short dis tance from where they first com menced their devilish work thought she saw two parties prowling in her back yard. She nred a pistol In the direction? of where she heard the racket in the yard, just to ,let the light-fingered gentry know that she was apprised of their movements. Last . night they were up to their tricks again. They entered the resi dence of Mrs. Dr. Drake and took a pan- of trousers belonging to one of her boarders from a chair. A"pr getting out of the building he ex tracted a goldj watch and a purse from the pockets and left the trous ers in the yard.

At his .conclu sion Mr. Taft was surrounded . by members, of the audience,.' who pre sented themselves for persppal ac quaintance. ' " : O )C ?jf - At the banquet tonight Mn Taft re sponded to the toast, "The 'President.' Mr. Taft prefaced his forty! minutes speech today by expressing"' the em barrassment he felt in appearing be fore a. Virginia audience. :' This ho made clear by this anecdote. i. t . "As , I was .entering the-hall her today I was introduced to; a very charming daughter- ' of Virginia; a married lady, of whom I Inquired on hearing her name, which - was a Vir ginia name, whether she was a relai tlve of a friend of my own from Vir ginia, who bore the name. ; TO, no," she replied, my poor husband is a 5'ankee." The story seemeTdJ to. re move the Judge's embarrassment. - Judge Taft in his address ild: "There are abundant evidence that the prosecution of criminals Imrve not been certain and thorough; to the point of preventing popular 'protest. The existence of lynching Intact parts of the country. Is directly traceable to this lack of uniformity and titiirough n ess in the enforcement of? oMr crimi nal laws." - - '&m--X:. .He added: - r.- ' .. "I venture to think that one- evil which has hot attracted the attention of the community at large, but which is likely to grow in importance as the inequality between the poor '.and the rich in our civilization is. studied. Is in the delays in the administration of Justice between individuals. Mr. ,Taft continued: t-iMK :: The inequality that exlstl in our present administration of justice and that sooner or later is certain? to rise and trouble us. and to call for. popular condemnation and reform, - Is in the unequal burden which the delays and expense of litigation under; bur system Imposes on the poor lttleant.'l. . One remedy, he said, would be more expedition on the part Qt Judges in rendering their opinions. Mr. Taft said another Irritation at inequalities In our administration of justice may be reduced by; the Intro duction. of a system for th settlement of damage suits brought by employees against public service corporations through arbitration without Ffcsort to Jury trials. : c . "We cannot, of course, dispense with the jury system," he said. "It is that which makes the people a part of the administration of Justice, v but very means by which in civil case litigants may be Induced voluntarily-to avpid the expense, delay, and burden of Jury trials ought to be encouraged."
