Topeka. Kan. April 1o.-In an article

number Al voted for Mrs ifamrick.

Quite a number OF women admitted a.

CRACK AT PROHIBITION.
! II may not be generally know. but q
! is fact. nevertheless. that the cause %
prohibition was given a steaithy s,aS ~
the legislature In the repeal OF the Jury
commissioners law. This law was pass
ed as an amendment 10 the general
statutes and provided for the drawing
OF Jurors, In counties having over pj.eJ1
inhabitants. by jury commissioners ap-
pointed by the governor. thus strength
ening the probability Of securing Jarses
that would find convictions for violations
of the prohibitory law In cities OF the
first-ciass
Like most OF The acts passed by tbs
legislature. there Is a hitch in this ons
which may give rise 70 serious compiica-
tons: Il did no. re-enact or revive the
old jury law in counties OF over 5000
or provide any new system OF procuring
jurors. A copy OF the act wac shown
Judge Hazea by Mall reporter. and
his first impression was tina, ne failure
os the legislature 20 provide a way 10
select jurors left u without, the power tn
obtain them. as the repeal Of a lave did
no; revive a previously existing law: but
on consulting the statutes he thought 3.
probable that the old jury law would
now apply IN counties OF our class. In
this view OF the case County Attorney
Jetmore concurred. and that h wha: tbs
courts would probably hold. After all,
there Is doubt lingering about N. sub
ject, for II the courts should hold that
the general statutes on the drawing %
Jurors was repealed. by implication az
least. by tbs passage OF the present
jury commissioners law IN counties q
our class. they might with equal pro-
prie;y hold that II - necessary 90 re-
enact the old law in such counties when
the jury commissioner law IN repealed.
