contention of the national commission of

DIR. Lewald said:
II fully share the standpoint of Pres.

expressly that the Exposition shall be

Why Twelve on q Jury!

Once more in New York. they are
struggling with the difficult problem
of selecting II men without bias or
prejudice to decide whether Nan Pat
terson, the actress, killed her lover
Ceasar Young, the gambler. last June.
The trial was begun several weeks
ago and after the prosecution had
presented the larger part Of its evil
dence. one Of the jurors was suddenly
taken i'll, and as a result the jury was
discharged. the work Of two weeks
went for nothing. and now they are
attempting to begin all over again.
Such an occurrence in a trial which is
attracting so much public attention
brings up the question which has often
been raised before. namely, why laws
should not he so amended that in the
case of Illness or death. or unavoidable
absence of juror during trial, the
case may proceed with II jurors.
In some of the states, Maryland, for
instance. such law prevails in civil
cases. but it does not apply to criminal
procedure. The present rigid require
nent o. Il men throughout trial
often works hardship upon the prison.
or. as in the present instance, and of
course causes the expense of the trial
to be greatly increased. There is no
peculiar sacredness to the number II.
except that it happened to be selected
in the commOn-law countries as the
proper number. and the law clings so
closely to its old and wornout tradi-
tons that it is next to impossible to
get anything of this kind changed.
No right of state or prisoner would be
sacrificed if such a trial should con-
,inue with II jurors instead of Il. 1t
would be 4 simple matter to amend the
laws of the various states in this
respect. and the result would be
great saving Of time and expense in
many cases. but it is almost too much
to hope that such a thing will soon be
done.

A State Without . Capital.

A the election returns come in from
the far West the interesting 1act 10
learned that in Wyoming the election
Of a President was by nc means the
only important matter under consio-
Grafton. It seems that that state, con-
trary to the common opinion outsioe i''
borders, has no permanent capitai' ai'u
an attempt was made to select one
Most OF us have implicitly believed the
statement of the biographies and other
books Of reference that Cheyenne is 'he
capitaI Of wyoming. and so 1t IS lor
temporary purposes, but not for all
time.
The wise trainers of the Wyoming
constitution decided that while Chey-
enne was all right as temporary cap
ital IL was quite probable that within
a few years some young metropolis
would soon spring up more deserving
the honor. Accordingly these prophet
ic constitutions makers set the year OF
grace 1904 as the time when the state
should give up boarding and lodging at
Cheyenne and move into permanent
home Of its own. According TO this
provision Of the constitution the vote
for the capital was held November g.
and il was day OF rustling and heart
buruings throughout Wyoming.
Cheyenne. the biggest place in the
State wished to be made the perina-
nent capital. but some half dozen other
cities we're active aspirants for the
honor. When the votes were counted
IL was found that Cheyenne had H.
733; Lander. 1858; Casper. 1856 and
Rock Springs. Az. with 14l votes scat
tered among other towns. Lander
which pushed Cheyenne hard. has AT
present "A population Of only 800. but
the people of the northern part Of the
state are backing it enthusiastically as
the proper site for a permanent capital.
Casper. it is said. is no larger than
Lander. but II evidently had IA good
share Of friends. AS majority was
necessary for the election. Cheyenne
failed by over 1000 votes to be made the
permanent capital. and as the consti-
tuition does not provide for a second
election. the matter is still unsettled.
In the meantime. Cheyenne remains
the temporary capital until the consti-
tuition Is amended. and Lander. Casper
and Rock Springs each has faith that
by the time that Is done its claims will
be recognized as superior to those of
Cheyenne. Possibly compromise
will be made by which the towns in
question will each be made the tenn
pOrary capital for a term of years. In
less there Is some such compromise il
is not unlikely that Wyoming will all
ways be without a permanent seat OF
government and have a capital cleo
tion as a regular source of exciternen,
when each campaign comes around.
