In connection with an editorial article yesterday dealing with the railway in politics, no reference was made there to potty political affairs Mich as political appointments which are often i-pokeu uf as "polities." Happily the railways are to a large extent out of politics in that connection. So Tar a the management is concerned, when it does not conflict with auv other governmental policy, the railway officials have the lat say. They make the appointments and see that the work is done. They draw up schedules and manage the railway in every sense of the word. In thabre-pect the railway is out or politics.

Jury System Is Criticized By Manson. lion. A. M. Manson crilicjize.s lhe jury system or trinl, and justly he may. The average jury is-not fit to ry a criminal case. Trial by judge is much more likely lo refill in justice being done the offender. The average person is loo easj swayed by emotion and loo little by the facts presented apart from the clever oratory of a counsel. Thn-c who have attended court trials must .e struck with the difference between trial before a county court judge and thai before a jurv. The county court judges as a rule are excellent men and are able to arrive at much belter decisions than lt average twelve men chosen for a jury. It is a curious fact that the men who sit in our county courts are often much better balanced and more capable men than lhoe choen for the .Supreme Court and yet there seems tf be no promotion rrom Ihe county court to the Supreme Court. Our own'Judge YVmng and Judge. Lampmau or Victoria are examples of men who seldom make mistakes and who hold the respect of all clas.ses or the eomniiinitv. When a man goes berore either or them he knows he is going In. gel a square deal and that Ihe judgment will be tempered wilh mercy. Change In India , 1 8 Forecasted.

"Let's have the question," ask ed Abl. Brown. "We don't wont to hear any more of Hits personal argument. The- mayor said I hat charges had been laid against him and he fell he was entitled lo answer them. Be then went on to fur ther explain his position. Abl. Jos. irer felt that, if the Board of Works gave assurance that the project was economical and there was absolute assur ance that the Seventh Avenue work would not be delayed, it would be in the best interests of all to support the motion. Aid. Perry udnted out that Ihe Board of Works bad already given that assurance. The ipieslion was theu put and Ihe council was unanimously in ravor or it. " Before pronouncing the motion carried.

"Why yoii never do anything unless then-1 a motive behind it a political motive." Mayor Newton felt that such criticism was very unfair. City Solicitor Jones then cited Ihe Municipal Act as o the mayor's power or inteneullon. Aid.
