Reform in Jury Service.

Every man who has ever served on
jury in the District court will appreciate
and approve the instructions given by
Judge David Dale, the newly-elected
Populist Judge at Wichita, to the first
jury reporting for duty in his court.
That the things prohibited are detrimen-
tai TO the securing of just verdict any
one will admit. The instructions are
here reproduced for the benefit Of our
readers, many Of whom will be interested
in them, and all will agree that they are
very sensible. The Judge said: 81
expect there will be work for you here
for at least three months. In that time
some Of you may be called on to attend
to your private business, and when that
is necessary it is my desire that you give
notice OF the fact.
at is the desire Of the court that you
be on hand promptly at 9o'clock every
morning and that you do not talk about
cases that will come before the court.
You are also requested not to call on
attorneys on business or for any other
purpose, and that you avoid as much
as possible public places where crowds
are likely to talk OF cases before the
court for hearing.
81 also desire that you do not visit
joints. / do not mean by that that you
cannot take drink, but simply that you
avoid such places while you are jurors.
There are rooms here that are at your
disposal. / have been informed that
jurors are in the habit Of playing cards
in the jury room. You can do that when
in your own rooms, but not when you

retire to make up verdict. If a part
Of the jury are playing cards while the
other are considering case they will
not pay attention to the arguments and
prevent decision being arrived at.
For that reason leave the cards out OF
the jury room.
81 learn that a custom has prevailed
Of letting people on the outside know
how the jury stands in cases before the
verdict has been reached. The bailiffs
will be instructed not to give out any
information, and it is time enough for
people to know what you have done
after you return your verdict to the
court.
II have also learned that there have
been cases whore the bailiffs have neg
lected their duty, and that in one in
stance the bailiff left his post and allowed
the fire to go down, which resulted in q
severe cold and the death Of one Of the
jurors. You must stand on your rights
and protect yourselves, and il any Of the
bailiffs fail to do their duty make the
fact known to the court.
"Some Of you jurors are farmers and
not accustomed to being shut up in
steam. heated rooms, and you will feel
the need Of exercise. It is the inten-
tion to have twenty-four jurors and you
will not be too closely confined, but will
have chance to exercise at times whom
the business Of the court will not be inter-
fered with on account OF your absence
from the court room."

No, sir, there is no justice in this.
In all probability these men we're
travelling seeking work. There is, un-
'doubtedly, lot Of lazy, shiftless tramps
who will not work If you give them q
chance; but there are also some honest
men who are seeking work and cannot
find it. Thousands Of able-bodied men
are roaming over the country, out Of
work and out Of money. Now what are
they to doY We do not know of a more
pitiful object than man begging for
work to support his family, and we see
no reason why great government like
this cannot come to their aid and fur

matters and things change. Every
government under the sun, at some
period in it's existence, has given it's

England have been built this way, and
Italy once built magnificent improve

The republican leaders have assumed,
en since tie result OF the election
81 18ef was declared, that their partys
success ia the presidential election was
assured. They have counted on re-
iaining the enormous vote which was
then cast cor their candidates for con-
gresss and which elected q republican
majority Of 1l2 81 8 total Of $50 Ia the
national house of representative. It
IS strange that such fatuity should
possess the minds of men who have
passed their lives IA the nctiTe prac
tice Of american politics, ard The phe-
momentum cannot be accounted for on
any other theory than that politicians
in this country are not intelligent OBJ
servers Of current events, and DO not
remember those facts Of recent history
that ! most important to them. If
the republican, purity were governed BY
that high degree Of acunen that chars
acterizes the American IN his daily
business. the leaders would recall the
Significant fact that IA 1892 10 was the
democratic party TINT obtained a vast
majority Of the votes Of the people OF
the United States. and that q change
IN 1926 from republican to Democratic
~04sendancy would not be more startling
than was the change 81 1894. Moreover,
they would remember also that the peo-
pie punished the democrats in 1894
quito as much for what they did not
do as for what they did, and that the
failure OF the democratic majority in
congress to enact sound tariff and
sound currency legislation was its most
g~rievous sin in the eyes Of honest peo-
pie who + insisting with growing de-
termination and passion on voting for
the welfare of the country and against
the mere interests Of party politicians.
Surely, IL ever . victorious party should
have understood that its retention OF
power depends on its accomplishment
of some good to the country, it was the
republican party after its great victory
Of 1894.
Notwithstanding the fact that the
way to success lay clearly through a
Vigorous sound-money policy in legis-
lation, and by an overturning Of the
