FACTS ARE FOR THE JURY.

Commenting upon the recent criti-
cism of juries by Secretary of State
Taft a learned writer in Law Notes
we'll says:
lone of the reasons for preserving
the Jury system is the fact that the
jurors are drawn from everv walk of
life; they are men who are aSSocating
with and taking part in transactions
nearly every day of the same kind and
character as the facts in the case
upon which they are to decide as
Jurors.
unfortunately most of our judges
and lawyers have for many years dis
associated themselves from participa-
ton in the ordinary affairs of the peo-
|ple-out of which come most of the
litigated caSeS-and in consequence
both bench and bar are not fitted or
Qualified to ''dge of the facts with the
same SoundneSs of reasoning and APP
plication of right rules as the aver
age juror. Many times when the jury
is supposed to be at fault in a case
as a matter of fact it is the judge and
the lawyers, who, being unfamiliar,
out of touch with the everyday af-
fairs of humanity, don't get the right
view, and consequently make the
wrong application of law to the facts
under consideration. A bench OF
judges may<do nicely for the law end,
but the people are the better judges
of the facts
In the heat of the inclination which
the average man feels at times to
harshly criticize the verdict of a jury,
it is SOLDERING to remember that the
widest difference of opinion as to both
the merits and the law of hotly con-
tested case is between the men whose
training and habit of thought is set
upon the law. Swayed as it may be to
an extent by prejudice or conviction of
right, the general public is apt not
only to be fair in the end in its judg-
ments but also more nearly of similar
mind than either judges or lawyers. In
a case involving hundred line DIS
tinctions of law, it is far more easy
for a clear verdict to be deduced from
the evidence by a concurrence of lay
than professional minds. Largely un-
biased by the law except as it is i'm
partially stated by the court, the aver
age jury is perhaps more competent to
sound the vital questions at issue than
sarily influenced by the relation of the
fact to the law. Trial by jury was a
reform springing from trial by judge
and until there is found more per-
feet system it will continue as the
nearest human approach to universal
equity between litigants. And in spite
of occasional instances of apparent

cent Supreme court decisions. Judge
Clark in his dissenting opinion in state
VS.. Ozark in 134th North Carolina re-
port uses the following language: IN
view of the vast increase in the num-
ber of murders in this State which mas

brol-en line of precedentS which our

if seems to me that it would not be un-
wise to consider the propr1ety OF re-
vising our jury system so that II
would not require unanimous verdict
to convict OF crime. Why should not
'let the majority rule" apply? Then
we would not have SO many ''miscar-
riaces of Justice" and our courts
would cease to be an object of ridl-

NEW HAMPSHIRES GAMBLERS
DELIGHT.

That is queer condition in New
Hampshire. by which it appears that
a New York corporation has been
granted an absolute privilege for ten
years to run a gambling paradise aD-
solutely independently of the State
laws or authority. To add to the con-
fusion the State Senator who was re-
sponsible for the bill creating the priv
ilege is out in a card to his indignant
constituents in which he daZedly states
that he must be a fool. since he is not
a rascal. SAYS a special to the New
York Times:
Senator Charles w. Abbott. who in
troduced the charter which gave to a
New York racing syndicate absolute
police powers within their own
grounds in this town and abrogated all
the laws against gambling for the next
ten years. says in a public memorial
to his constituents that they have a
tight TO think him either knave or a
fool, but he is not a knave.
abbott declares that the State has
thrown away it's good name in grant
ing a gambling charter to a foreign
MONOPOLY" and calls upon all citizens
to aid him in retracting what he has
done. The fight against the lavish rae
ing preparations has crossed the State
line, and Massachusetts, citizens and
churches have Joined in trying to see
what can be done about it.
1.-The charter is SO innocent on its
face that il might have been intended
for a church fair. according to Senator
Abbott. vet so cleverly was it drawn
that the New Hampshire State. county.
and town police are stopped from all
authority within the grounds. nor can
the State militia enter even to quell "a
riot The State has ceded its terri
tory. Abbott says. to a racing syndi-
cate which IS SO sure Of It's power that
it does not stop. in the face of riotous
public sentiment. in spending $1,50O.-
600 in the largest racing park in the
world"
1t is 70 be hoped that Senator ABB
bolts chagrin has caused him to too
quickly despair. Certainly the courts
of New Hampshire could hold such
legislation unconstitutional as against
public policy.
In this connection We are reminded
of the bill to incorporate a church
Carolina Legislature and was about to
be ratified when it was discovered that
its real provisions were to legallZe
cock fighting and invite a couple of
champion pugilists to settle their dis
pute in this State. All of which goes
to emphasize the universal need in Leg
islation of law rendering invalid any
bill the purpose of which is not clearly
expressed in it's title.
