THK New Jersey law passed by the Leg
islature this year gives the presiding
judge of the Common Pleas court author
ity to revise the Jury list prepared by the
sheriff, and to strike from or add thereto
the names Of such qualified person or per
sons as he may deem proper to serve as
Jurors" The law also provides that per.
sons who have served as jurors at any of
the three preceding terms of court may be
challenged. Jury reform has been in the
air for years. Jury commissions have
been proposed at different legislative SEES
sions, but that plan Of reform of the iury
system has not met with much favor.
Commissioners are human, especially
when they are politically chosen. The new
law puts the burden of reform on the
court and 1t Ii genuine attempt to effect
a reform. Sheriffs generally will not like
to have their selections questioned and
set aside by the judges. and to avoid ju-
dicial interference they will name jurors
who are unexceptionable. The moral effect
of the law is therefore salutary Sheriffs
will select only good men and true and
there will be infrequent occasion for the
court to act.-Newark AdDertiser.

The Goth Of the present month is the

start on their annual tours to discover the
value of property in their respective To-
calities According to the reports made
to the State Board of Assessors when that
body met here few months ago all pro
perty In Burlington county has been as
sessed to Its full value, hence there would
appear to be little need for labor beyond
copying from the old duplicate the figures
OF 1905. The reports Of the assessors,
however. may have been little rosy and
If they scan the situation closely they may
be able to make material changes. For
instance, 1t does not seem entirely proper
for land to be assessed at $50 per acre
when 1t Is we'll known fact that the
owner has refused four times that sum.
Nor Is 1t correct to have manufacturing
plant worth many thousands of dollars

AFTER sitting two full days and listen
Ing to evidence ON the subject, Judge
Gaskill has decided that there were not
sufficient grounds for refusing licenses to
sell liquor to the Moorestown hotels.
Without criticising the decision it may be
said that there was enough evidence to
show that the hotels were certainly care
less In their methods Of selling liquor.
The detectives whose business it was to
secure testimony were given a strong
tongue flashing by counsel, but the fact
remains that such officers seem to be the
only ones who can get evidence. This
was plainly made evident when men went
on the stand and by their answers showed
conclusiyely that they intended to defend
the hotel men at all hazards The trial,
while not reaching the end desired by the
citizens who originated the reform move
ment, will undoubtedly have wholesome
effect, not only In Moorestown, but else
where. and liquor dealers will keep q
sharp eye on the manner ip which their
resorts are conducted.
