From this little book It wtH be learned that Dr. Fierce's med icines contain no alcohol, narcotics, mineral agents ur other poisonous or Injurious agents and that they are made from native, medici nal room of great value: also that some of the most valuaWe Ingredients contained la Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription for weak, nervous, over-worked, •’run-down." nervous and debilitated woroeu. were employed, long years ago. by tint Indians for similar allmenu affecting tbclr suuaw*. In fact, one of thn must valuable medicinal plants entering Into the composition of Dr. Pierce’# Favorite Pre scription was known to the Indians as •Suuaw-Weed." Our knowledge of the uses of not a fast of our most valuable native, me dicinal plants was gained from the Indiana.

When the men went to work in the Cadillac they signed an agreement to give 10 days’ notice before they quit, but they walked out In a body recent ly without giving any notice. The men allege that they were fined amounts running from a few cents to several dollars, and many times they never knew whut the offense was. They brought action to recover for 10 days’ wages, kept from them when they quit, and also for the amounts deducted In fines. The amount in volved Is about |4OO. SUNSHINE FOR E.O.P.JELECIITES LETTER*. FROM “MILT” OAKMAN ANNOUNCES FARES WILL BE PAID TO CONVENTION. The breaking of a sunshiny day aft er a week of rain Is nothing like as gladsome to the Republican braves that section elected delegates to the state convention next Tuesdsy—as the letters from Milton Oakman which are finding their way to the faithful. “Your transportation will be hand ed you at the station,” reads the note, and this means that delegates will not be put to the hardship of paying their own fare, but will ride on the generosity of their candidate. The candidate In this case Is taken to be E. D. Stair, and the welcome letters will tend to greatly Increase the Wayne county quota. There is Just one cloud In the sky. It Is rumored that only one-way fare will be paid, the other half ticket be ing advanced after the delegates have voted right In convention and got safe, ly back to their train. Any who Btray from the fold, will do so on pain of having to walk home. Enthusiasm for the candidacy of Stair for delegate-at-large has Increas ed materially since the afternoon mall Thursday.

Page Six SPORTING NEWS OF THE DAY, GATHERED FOR THE DETROIT TIMES FLAG WINNER OF 190$MAY NOT NEED TO COP OVER 90 GAMES By PAUL H. BRUSKE I* l there still a chum-e for the Tigers Weil, didn't they make Just as bad ft *tftrt last year? Never did cut any figure in the race till along in the lat ter part of July, did they? Just wait till they strike their gait! Above is a typical bit of (igar-siore gossip. Ia it true? Let us see. One year ago today the Detroit base ball club was in fourth place, having won ten games and lost eight—a per centage of .556. Chicago led the league with .667, while New York, with .647, and the Athletics with .588. were below them. Cleveland followed Detroit with .500, while Boston stood .312 and St. Louie brought up the rear with 278. The Detroit cluh had last year play ed three more games than It has been able to put through up to date on the home and viaiting diamonds this sea son It had won five more games and lost two leas, making its record seven games better than that which now prevails. At first sight this array of dope would he discouraging But it isn’t so bad at that when it comes tv> be closely digested. Last year the Tigers enjoyed a fortuitous combination of clrcum FRISCO SPORTS BACKMICIHOER; SAN FRANCISCO.

M. C. A. ‘Basketball Blayers Wanted at Burroughs No more Y. M. C. A. basketball p layers will be eligible for Jobs at the Burroughs Adding Machine Cos, according to an announcement informally given to one of the members of the state champion team who made ap plication for a position in the flourish! ng manufacturing establishment which has made so remarkable a reputation in local athletics by the performance of its baseball and basketball teams. The decision is avowedly made t o maintain peace in the local arena of winter sport. Already Mellon and Stockham, the two star forwards of the Y. M. C. A. team are at work at the Bur roughs plant, the former having, in fact, succeeded in securing a position there before the close of last year's bas ketball season. The name of the man whose application was denied is not given out by the Burroughs management. Rumor in local basketball circles has Mellon lined up with the Bur roughs team for next year. It Is said that he has an agreement with the Y. M. C. A. which leaves him free to go and start the season with an other team this fall, if he so desires. THE BIG LEAGUE RACES AT A GLANCE AMERICAN LEAGUE. » i##!p —M* of I/W Or aim. Try It. ON SMIE At fiLL FIRST OL**S B*P*. «L L £;,l K J 4r.r,‘the grand valley distilling co. y.S"r;. stances at the start of the season. The St. lAiuia club was in bud shape and the Tigers trounced them in every game but one or two. The club had fewer game.- with Cleveland and Chi cago than have been played up to date this season, aud more with the Browns. The Naps and the Sox have i always been the hardest climbs for the Michigan Bengal* to masticate. Lust year they ended up even on the inter league series with Lajoies men, and lost to Chicago. j And here is another consideration which should not be lost sight, of. The three game* which the tearri is shy will be lumped with the other postponement* and will be played off at a date when the club >s presumably in much better shape to go up against the double bills. THE FANS HAVE A RIGHT TO HOPE FOR A SPRINT. CERTAINLY THINGS ARE 3HAP- I ING THEMSELVES THAT WAY. There Is still another feature to the 190S> racu thatp romis* s to make a i difference tnis season. Either the eastern clubs are much 1 weaker than had been expected or else Washington and Boston have been j incredibly strengthened. New York's weakness in the* pitching staff still seems to be m evidence, and Glade has come far from fulfilling expecta-j tlons. Washington and Boston are able to hold the r own with the strong pair quite regularly. The absence of Waddell IS fieit In Philadelphia.

MrnMKHimnX Secretary O All 4U As| f TfvftmrtF A Lawyer of 35 Vears’ Experience Would Abolish the Jury b ,/l Hi* T*n Reason* for the Step Are Traceable to the One Great Defect In a System Which Should Be Maintained. 35 years’ experience at the bar. In the American Law Review for March-April, Mr. Greer sums Up his objections to the jury system in criminal cases thus: First, they do not apply the exact definitions of crimes given in the court’s charge, because they do not understand them. nor. in truth, do they care to understand them. They believe their own ‘ideas are supreme and they have the right to be governed by same. Second, they read into the law their own emotions, sympathies, and feelings, giving it their own interpretation, "putting themselves iin the place of the defendant,” a position never contemplated by the flaw or good morals. Third, sometimes juries are corrupted through fear, or worse ftnotives. into returning verdicts in defiance of law. Fouth, prejudice figures largely in verdicts. A tramp or pauper jfeg denied the “benefit of the doubt.” but a well-to-do citizen has )|lt stretched to most unreasonable lengths in his favor. Fifth, the method of selecting juries is childish and puerile. Enabling one who has been “influenced” to answer all questions Satisfactorily, and operating against the conscientious talc-s:r.a:'. •who admits he has formed an opinion. The latter, the writer says, should no more be objectionable therefor than the trial judge lumself. lixth, the whole effort of defendant’s counsel is to keep con ious men out of the box, whose feelings, emotions, or senti cannot be appealed to. eventh. the law recognizes the fact that a jury can be im rly influenced, in that it locks up juries in felony cases, ighth, counsel for defendant make statements and argu appealing to the passions and prejudices of the jurors, late directly their oaths and acquit the defendant, which they i not dare to make to the trial judge. linth, as the law is an exact science intended to prevent crime irly, justly, and reasonably punishing those guilty of its in there can be no reason for a jury on the theory that it will we merciful than judges learned in the law, and capable of rate and judicious analysis and application of facts, enth, the strongest reason against the system is that instead ry offence being accurately defined and puni&hecL juries are .tally adding to the definitions and destroying the certainty lishment. If it were known to be a fact that every crime be punished according to its definition, there can be no-doubt salutary effect. It Is the uncertainty of a jury verdict that --criminal desire and anarchy. Mr. Greer presents no argument in opposition to trial by jury jtthat could not have been advanced at the time the right of man to Jg>e judged by a body of his peers was granted by the framers of the Trial by jury is the only safe and true assurance to the Ameri ~l|can. citizen as safeguarding his liberty, his property, and his equal privilege to share in the benefits of government. To place the fate of one man in the hands of another singly fovould be dangerous, and would threaten his sacred right to that jßustice which can be derived safely and solely from a PREPON fjpOERANCE of opinion on the part of his fellow men. The varied and mixed elements of justice are to be found Mooner in a group of judges, than in one alone, for the court judge Mm only human after all, and, reasonable to declare, as susceptible Ko frailty as is the layman on the jury. What would constitute justice under the law and in the stem, mind of the judge, would not always conform to the ■common sense view of justice that on occasions have been well Applied by juries to the contrary of the written law. I xmld seem that Mr. Greer’s long experience at the bar ive demonstrated to him the one great defect in the present reference to which, however, he omits. I by jury should never cease to be the right of the Ameri en. but the real purpose of the Jury will never be guaran bthe system of selecting jurors is remedied, and the ma jury-duty is available. tries are losing respect for the state and the law. and in of the Bowin verdict and others in mind that have been n the local courts there Is reason to believe that this may is the state itaelf blameless in the matter? mnot be gainsaid that the state is in great part FIRST to >r the channels provided through which the class of citi >e preferred on our juries are able to escape that service. 1 the desirable juror eliminated by grace of the state, the missioners must make the most of the material remaining, ills for more careful scrutinizing of names than there has the past, to the end of getting intelligent jurors free of tble habits and environments. proper citizen for jury duty is the one who is sought an the one who seeks the pay through the influence of the L exercise of the greatest care on the part of these most t officers in supplying our courts with efficient men for 'ice, will go a long way toward the preservation of one of commendable features of the constitution of the United i built upon the principles of justice and liberty.

Their Famous Words of Famous Men “Hi* Baptism of Fire.”— NAPOLEON 111 to the Empress Eugenie, on Aug. a, 1870, Referring to the Experience of the Prince Imperial That juries are slowly losing respect for state courts, as well as for the law. and are becoming more and more aggressive in placing their own interpretation on the law. and attending less and less ,to the rulings of the court and his charge defining the law of the case, is the opinion of Mr. Hal W. Greer, who has had eyes cannot conceal the exultation of that little drop of Indian blood which thrills In them. The Juice of the sugar cane is sweet* and harmless.

Three times he lowered the keel and three times he fetched It up. “Good!” said Strong, “Now, my boy,” ihe added, “make for the bank, right opposite the Bungalow, and Into the water we go.” They went down, down, down, so swiftly that they caught their breath, so swiftly that, they had a sense of falling through space ns though they would never stop.

To the Editor of The Times: From the tone of A recent editorial/ in T)ie Times it would seem you favor a tlilrd term for President because you admire his advanced Ideas along the lines of political ie form? If ho. you surely tunst know that the principles he advances can never be engrafted Into law while the party now in power holds sway. The principles upheld by Mr. Roosevelt are contrary to those of his party, so that to elect Mr. Roosevelt again would be a type of cruelty. If tho common people of this country ever wish to regalu their rights, they must elect a different set of m«u entirely. To elect a president not In touch and sympathy with his patty—would be tlie height of folly. It would seem the only triemla the president has In the legislative halls at Washington are a small coterie of Democrats; i. t\. those in sympathy with his ad vanced Ideas. When those ideas were advanced by the People's party and spoken from the rostrum from Maine to California, they were termed crank ideas” and the men who propagated them were termed "demagogues.” “calamity bowlers,” "disturbers of the peace.” and most '"undesirable I list us," by the same gentlemen to whom our presldeu: Is now petition Mg.
