l'HOKNIX, ARIZONA. DEC. IS. ir(T. ABOLISH THE GRAND JlRY.

Kditor Semple of the Globe. Miner in the midst of the financial wiiil which resounds through the country raises a reassuring note. He has lifted a part of the public burden by paying JJ3 of the president's salary fur the current year, leaving to the country at large the payment of only J13.S75. Mr. Semple's contribution was made at tho suggestion of Judge Nave of the United States court at Globe.

The sum of $25 was held by the court to be the true market value of a certain news item of which the Miner had made use. The news item having emanated from the federal grand jury, an institution, supported by the United States government it was legally and commercially proper that the United States should be yimbursed by Mr. Seinple. It is doubtful whether from a newspaper point of view, the item was worth so much money since it consisted only of advance information that a certain prominent citizen of Globe had been indicted in five different places by the grand if $23 was an overcharge, Mr. Seniple cannot complain.

No good business man accepts service or material without first informing himself of the cost. Hereafter when he is tempted to print grand jury news let him get figures from the cotm as to the market price of it. Then he can take it or let it alone. The tone of the Miner in recount ng this news deal is juliliant, jet in it there is under it an under-n ite of sadness and complaint whence we infer that Mr. Simple is not satisfied: that he is experiencing the sensation of one who has been leiently stung: that he believes the value of giand jury news rs greatly inflated and that it might be dispensed with altogether for he says: "The grand juries are secret inquisitions.

No more, no less. They should be abolished generally as they are in sev-ral states. They are useless institutions, a residue of the feudal ages, the go-between as to the old mythical common law idea that the king was ever present in the officers of the court." For ears The in a m'ld Hiid rather indifferent way lias advocated the abolition of the grand jury as an unnecessary body; there was no apparent harm in it and no good. Kut now our opposition will become feverishly active for Mr. S.

tuple has demonstrated that it is not only a useless but a Ksitively harmful incubus. M'e can not too soon be rid of an institution which manufactures news and foists it upon newspapers in these panicky times, at prosperity prices. i Mit WELLMAN DISAVOWED. Walter Wellman not only missed the north but every other important thing he has aimed at lately. A day or two before President jositive and final renunciation of the third term.

Mr. Wellman sent a long dirpateh to the "hieajjn Kerord-Herald uhieh he represents in Washington giving positive assuranee from an authoritative souree lii.it President I. oosevelt would aiec-pt the nomination if it were fori ed upon him and II. at Mips were U-ing taken to tiie eud that there mipht be no lack of force. The Iieeord-Herald accepted the dispatch as a statement of a fact which it had remained for its own talented and energetic eoirespond-nt to uncover.

The li'cord-Herald a pardonable journalistic pride in having been able to settle a matter cencerning which there had been so iiiu- conjecture and back talk. And tiie next day it snowed. Mr. Wellman to extricate himself from the hole by telegraphing dark Minis of the president's purpose. His statement Mr.

Welliiian, was intended lo assist in one way or another, the candidacy of Mr. and the reader eul.l nm draw- the inference without a violation of the Imagination that perhaps Mr. Wellman's original dispatch was not so far out of the way after all. At any rate, the second dispatch, was. however it might be taken, a reflection upon the sincerity of Mr.

lioosevelt. Wellman had his reputation to sust-iin us well as a natural grievance against the presi dent lo alleviate! Til- r.evord-Herald which bad fol- jov r'i air. nfi man ttje direction ljrj i Qr.T fcHn the north pole and his Journalistic wanderings at home.it declined to back him further for an excursion into the realms of fancy regarding the mo- lives and intentions of Mr. R'oosevelt. It said: 'The Record-Herald Is Just as sure of the president's sincerity as it is sure; that its own correspondent, Walter Wellman, is on the wrong- track in judging the course of Mr.

Wellman is one of the younger nd special newspaper writers of tho' Spanish war period, since when the journalistic sensation of a day has become a more important matter than actual news. Another theory of this school is that not all of anything can appear on the surface. There is always "a ggcr in the wood pile." Hack of every act there is an unworthy motive whose existence it is the correspondent's business "to disclose; and in failing to do so, it becomes his business to publish the yellowest conjecture. Mr. Wellman has perhaps sinned less conspicuously in this direction than have Sieffins, Cieelman and others of the school but he has sinned enough to t-ive him about the only prominence he enjoys as a journalist.

It is fortunate that correspondents (f this class do not predominate at Washington or elsewhere where news is made. There are still enough members of the old school left and there will be more of them now that muckraking is on the wane to inform us what is actually happening in the world. Tiie California holidays will not be greatly missed after next Saturday. They have not been religiously observed cf late any way except by such banks as the California Safe Defiosit and Trust cnm any, which is enjoying a perpetual holiday. If.

as some of the alarmists believe, there is going to be war with Japan in ti.e future Viscount Aoki, ho is about t. return to Tokio, might have taken passage on the battleship fleet which would land him in his own front yard. Governor Hughes sidesteps entangle, ment in the presidential question quite adroitly. While holding himself aloof, he manages to convey the impression that a nomination would not be to him. If the destruction of the power transmission lino at Goldfield was the1 work of the strikers they chose an extremely inopportune time to engage in vandalism.

Whoever is in charge of tne weather is tempering these nights to the thickness Sanlu. Claus' furry coat. Who started that intone rumor that a presidential bee was buzzing in the bonnet of Secretary Cortelyou? I Character is not a growth by an-! nexntion. It is an empire whose boun- daries are like the universe. The truth is everyone is born great sroat if he has power sway the scepter in his kingdom.

United States Consul Covert, in a ro- port to tne department ot commerce of an an nt unceil in tne French city of Lyons by which, it is said, electrical power can be transmitted without ttu use of wires. He says: "It may be called an extension of the wireless use of electricity. It is still kept a secret and It seems that nly cne person in Lyons possesses a knowledge of the facts on the subject. He is a prominent broK- er who has financed the enterprise, He informs me that all the work of tn in the country at tne castle pi minent manufacturer of Lyons and that only two persons were permitted to know what was going on. Sonic r.vo weeks ngo the first experiments were tried, and a miniature street car was moved uvor a flat space by electricity communicated from a distance of several yards.
