A Washington territory paper at
hand reports a recent petit jury there
composed entirely of women. 1t was
not for special case, but the regular
panel tor a term of court. 1t is proba-
bic that husbands who had suffered
from the absence of the domestic ruler
to attend to public duties, were respon-
sible for the singular "coincidence'
that eliminated the male element from
that jury box, taking this course to
bring the progressive woman's rights
theory into disreppte. The paper sug-
gests that the composition of that jury
was not satisfactory even to its men,

brought before it there was conspicu-
Gus lack Of adaptation. It apprehends
that female suffrage there will yet
work its own repeal '4 through compulso-
ry jury service.
