Official Paper Village of Bemidii SUBSCRIPTION $5 PER YEAR ‘. The Grand Jury. The grand jory amendment to the state coustitution having passed at their recent general election it is now possible to abolish the grand jury system in whole or in part. ; The amendment which carried in November did not change the law in Minnesota as to criminal procedure in the slightest par- ‘| ticle; it sipply made it possible for the legislature to made a change should it see fit. The grand jury system of procedure in criminal cases has been either wholly or partially discarded in 24 states, and it is proposed 'by a bill now before the legislature to made it simply a supplemen- tary proceeding, or an emergency feature, in criminal procedure in Minnesota, Should this bill pass criminal cases will be presented on motion of the county attorney in each county, but the grand jury might still be called by the district judge when it is so voted by the board of county commis- sioners or when petitioned for by 250 yoters. The grand. jury is a relic of the secret inquisition of olden times. 1t is diametrically opposed to the principle of free government. What it does it does in secret; and its crimes of omission are far greater than its sins of com- mission, It should be simply a last resort, to which the people can appeal if the ordinary chan- nels of justice fail them. The grand jury moreover is semian- nually a great burden of expense and 1t is only in exceptional cases that it does otherwise than the county attorney would do-with- outit. It ordinarily deliberates only the cases submitted to it by the county attorney; why not have the county attorney act in the first place and save time and expense? Circumstantial Evidence. The charge of Judge Webber to the jury in the New Ulm mur- der trial was certainly strongly at variance with the popular con- ception of the weight that should be attached to circumstantial evidence. Itis a popular belief that circumstantial evidence has too often sent the innocent to the gallows, whereas Judge Webber declares that this has seldom happened. The sum of Judge Webber’s charge sofar as circumstantial evidence is concerned was' that circumstantial evidence is good evidence upon which to convict. We cannot believe that it is good evidence except as it sup- plements direct evidence or in case it is absolutely without flaw. Circumstantial evidence may (K Paints! Pho - Paints!

OWNS THE plea of General Washburn that the gallant charge of the Minnesota First at Gettysburg be made the subject of a herioc painting and be accorded the tin* est position among the mural de- corations of the new capitol is timely. No prouder honor has Minnesot& ever won, and it would be better not to have that beauti- ful pile of marble on Wabash Hill than for the state to forget its heroes. Ir MR.HEATWOLE of Northfield wants a seat in the United States senate he will have to try for the one on which Knute Nelson sits 50 heavily. THE legislature .says that automobiles must go slow. That is what the legislature of 1903 said too.
