The commission of the reform of judicial procedure has recommended the bills how in the legislature pro- viding that in a civil case ten mem- bers of the jury man render a verdict under certain conditions. For many years this reform has been urged and agitated yet never been achieved. It is so sensible a thing that its en: actment would seem certain, and it is to be hoped hat he present sesslorn will write the principal on the statute books. Everywhere else, save on the jury, the principle of ‘majority-wule oper- ates. The government of this nation is based upon it. Every great. gov- ernmental policy is carried out by its operation. that a rule just enough to !_u_)-niéh the motive of national policies should be fair enough and broad.enough to do| substantial justice in.a little dispute involving a few hundred dollars, or a few acres of land. The idea of one or two men having the power to balk ten or eleven men, and to tie up liti- gation and create expense and delay. Jjustice -is abhorrent to every American. And yet we have allowed the condition to exist all these years. Now that Senator Clague’s bill has been approved by the legal minds that have been at work-seeking ways and means to make judicial procedure simpler and less expensive, it is hoped that the legislature will take ' this sane Hl Welsh disestablishment, It certainly would seem |- which has bmu:ht abou of -the lords, and which hag nill on its program electoral reform “and lstratfon since' Glads | cabifot of 1868 hal-wrought mp‘M important changes, Home rule is not yet won; ut the hope of -1t is|” reasonable, since it is only necessary for &ne commons to pass “the:-bill htwiee~more~in- two -years, after- the st d‘k to oflcu fm- two ‘more years.

Two Great Political Events. Europe last week.staged. two ’spec- tacular political events. © France elected a new president with scarcely a tremor in the foundations of the republic, and the British housg -~ of commons passed the Irish homé rule bill. The 'Third Republic has had, 'with Poincare, nine presidents. Of these three have served a full term. 'Lou- bet apd Fallieres " piloted France through some ticklish situations,-and retired to- well earned obscurity. Car- not and Fauré died in office. Perier had a short, stormy rule, and resign- ed within a year. MacMahon 'and Thiers were forced to retire by trou- bles that changes of ministry couid not quiet. Grevy, the most unfor- tunate of all the presidents of France, served a full term, and was re-elect- ed, the only man thus honored. But soon after scandals for which his son-in-law was responsible, -com- peiled his resignation., The president of France does not wield such broad powers as the American executive. France is gov- erned under a parliamentary system. The president’s main duties are to arrange the kaleidoscopic changes of ministry, sign papers; ‘and éxchange visits with the monarchs “-of other realms. 2 Such men as Fallieres and Loubet were well content With this role. Both did splendid service in modify- ing the ebullient passions of partiz- anship, which make a conaistent for- eign policy difficult under-the repub- lic. But with M. Poincare’ in the presidency, the office may' take on new significance, -Poincare is the strongest statesman in France today, with the exception of Delcasse. He emerges from the active . premier- ship into the passive presidency, will he be content to play the placid role of a president, or will he .still be prime minister in -fact if mnot.in name: If Poincare were free to do as he lixes, regardless of Germany, he would arrange & ministry with Del- casse at its head; and put France in line to play a strong role in the Dolitics of Europe. But if that is not yet pnctlcablo. ‘he wfll o, doubt try| to make himself the big French fac- tor in-the Trlple‘ Entenle, no’ mttu who is premier.
