THOSE WHO DODGE JURY DUTY.

The Houston Texas Post thinks it
a safe assertion that "nine men out of
ten who, called to service as jurors,
make the assertion that they have al
ready formed opinion concerning the
guilt or innocence of the defendant,
have merely formed an opinion to the
effect that they do not want to serve
as Jurors.
Commenting upon the above, which
applies with equal force here in Geor-
gia as IN Texas, the Columbus En-
quirer-Sun thus rasys the jury dodger:
This may not be true of nine men
out of ten, but it is doubtless true of a
great many. But even if it is not true
that this assertion is made in order to
escape siury duty, it places the man
who states that he has formed such an
opinion in very poor light
''He at once states to the world that
he is man of strong prejudice; that
he cannot be moved from his position.
He puts himself on record as narrow.
minded and unreasonable, If he cannot
change an opinion and sit in judge.
ment upon q case and decide it upon
its merits.
''But there are thousands of such
men all over the country. They are
found in every court room when q
grave criminal case is to be tried, and
as The Post very correctly says:
"These are the people who, when a
criminal escapes unwhipt of justice,
shrug their shoulders and say: OF
course. A man can.comnit any crime
in this State and come clear
''This remark has often been heard
from men who have disqualified them
selves from jury duty, and 1t will con.
tinue to be heard as long as they as
sert that they have formed an opinion
which cannot be shaken.
'tUnder the laws of our country, juries
are constitutional necessity. With
out them our whole system of govern
ment would come to standstill. It is,
therefore, the duty of every man, when
called upon make true answers to al
questions asked him by the court, and
to qualify as juror. No man should
shirk this duty.
sit is as imperative as any Other
which his country places upon him.

SWEEP OF THE PARKER TIDE.

In the empire states of the North
and South alike-New York and
Georg1a-the Parker tide sweeps with
re :istless force and every indication
now points unerringly to Judge Parker
as 1.-The man of the hour" at St. Louis.
The primaries held this week in the
New York counties were in favor of
the eminent iurist as the Democ attic
candidate for the presidency, giving
an irresistible impetus to the move
ment for him in that state. The great
Democratic State convention of
New York which assemblies at Albany
next month will have $50 delegates. of
which number 228, or more than ma.
jori'y, have already been secured for
Judge Parker, and additional prl-
maries and conventions are to be held
in counties where the friends of the
eminent iurist are confident of gaining
at least y more delegates which will
give HIM total of not less than 300,
or two thirds of the state conv,n tion.
As the unit rule will prevail in the
convention, the delegation from New
York to the Democratic national con-
ventlon at ST. Louis Will be instructed
to vote for the nomination of Judge
Parker
