newspapers that DO important de- tail or circumstance of murder, for instance, fails to escape the ubiqui- tous reporter. Consequently the
 men who read the papers-and cer-
 tainly all men of intelligence do- cannot possibly plead ignorance of any murder committed in the com munity in which they live. But
 the idea that the reading of au ac- count of murder incapaeitates a
 man from rendering verdict as iuryman according 5o the law and
 the evideuce is utterly fallacious;
 and even if it were not, man on trial for a crime must take his
 chances on this, for the reason that it is happily no longer possible to find enough men of so low an order
 of intelligence that they don't read
 the newspapers. And surely mans chances for securing justice
 are many times greater in the hands
 of an intelligent being, no matter how much he may have read in the newspapers concerning the crime with which the prison CT at the bar i is charged, than in the hands of those mental degenerates who do not, because they cannot, read the daily newspapers.
 In recent decision of the su-
 preme court of Tennessee it was held that not only is the reading of newspaper reports no disquaIifca-
 tion for jury service, but that the
 formation of an opinion from such
 reading does not disqualify, pro-
 vided the juror feels that he can
 render a just verdict. The one posi-
 tion really presupposes the other;
 for the man who reads without
 forming an opinion must be a being of very little more mentality than
 the man who has never beea able to master the intrieacies of the art of deciphering characters used in prin ting,

Better Jury Service Tn Sight

1t is one of the wholesome signs of the times that there is growing sentiment in favor of reform in the matter and manner of selecting juries to serve in criminal courts throughout the country, says the Memphis Scimitar. The old rule under which man who had read a newspaper account of crime was thereby disqualified tor service upon the jury which should try the case, if strictly adhefred to in this day and generation, would absolutely exclude from jury service all the in tBlligence of community.

THE HAWAIIAN RESOLUTION.
Senate Debate MOnday-Possibie
Compromise.

WASHINGTON, d. c., June 17.--Only
about Is minutes time was consumed by
the Senate Committee on Foreign Rela-
tions to-day, In reaching a conclusion to
report favorably the resolution for the
acquisition of the Hawaiian Islands by the
United States.
The fact developed that while the reso-
luton first received the sanction or the
House, II was prepared by Senator DAVIS
and no disposition was manitested 10
change It in any respect.
IL is becoming evident that the reported
understanding among the members OF the
Finance Committee, which was reached
during the tendency of the war-revenue
bill. to the effect that the Hawaiian reso-
luton should not come up for considera-
ton during the present session or Con-
gress will cut an important figure in the
consideration OF the question In the
Senate.
IL is proposed by the friends OF the
measure not to debate it at all. The OPP
ponents of the resolution accept this
situation, but they say that II they are
TO be compelled to do all the talking, they
will require the supporters Of the mea-
sure TO maintain "A constant Quorum IN
the chamber. The discussion VIII DC
opened Monday, by Senator White, VINO
will be followed by Senator Pettigrew
There is some talk Of a compromise,
by which the matter shall be postponed
