The Close Of the Exposition.

The st. Louis Exposition has closed. 1t
was without question the greatest expo
sitton the world had ever seen, and
whether or not 1t has been OF direct
benefit to St. Louis, It has been of BEN
eat to the country, and the whole nation
is indebted to st. Louis for Its enter
prise. lhe benefits have been more than
material. rho Exposition was great
school, and in all Its departments It Mas
instructive. Those who visited It gained
information In various directions which,
lltey could not otherwise havo obtained.
TO say nothing or details, they gained
a comprehensive knowledge OF tho re-
sources, tho products and facilities OF the
United States, which strengthened their
faith and increased their patriotism.

brought many foreigner visitors 10 the

such b contingency has ofeen arisen IN
tho taet and 10 liable to arise at any
time in caAss OF long duration. Health IS
precarious ut best and under the strain
OF d long and arduous trial, It Is sheer
good luck II each and every member OF
the Jury Is able to hold out, day after
day, without any bodily infltntty to rem.
der him unfit for duty. It Il suggested,
therefore. BY son,o OF the New York news
papers that the system OF trial by jury
should be 30 far changed as to provide
for the drawing and swearing In OF ono or
more extra Jurors who would sit with
tho rest and hear the evidence but take
no part IN finding a verdict. Except IN
such an emergency as has arisen In the
Patterson trial. This would require an
amendment to the Constitution, but such
n provision was proposed In the Consti-
5tutional Convention of 1904 and efforts
have since that time l&een made to have
the Legislature submit TO the people a
similar amendment. Objection has boon
raised that the additional Jurors not ex-
1recting their services to be actually re-
uuired. would not follow the evidence at
tentvcly. 70 meet this It IS suggested
that each trial have fourteen Jurors, and
that tho twelve required to find the YER
dict should be selected by lot from tho
whole number sworn. after the Judge
has delivered his charge. But go fnr
as that objection goes the,r is no reason
why Jury should be limited to twelve
men. Courts might be given discretion
to increase the Jury III q sivon case from
twelve to fourteen With the provlso that
any twelve OF them should be CONFIDENT
to sit IN the case nnd render q verdict.
Under such provision the case would DO
decided by the entire fourteen. Il all
should be present during tho en-
tire trial, by thirteen should ono of the
number fail by the way and by twelve
if two should fall.
There may be objections which not
plain 80 n luyman but there Is practical
sense in the suggestion, and It Is certain
that in Virginia as well as in New York
some provision should be made to avoid
a nistra1 by reason of tho illness OF
