THE LAW AND JURY SERVICE

The matter of dealing with Jurors
affords as many opportunities to test !
the common sense of judges and their T.
capacity to understand and nationally !
construe the law as does the trial of
many cases.
A narrow, technical, quibbling, hair.
splitting mind that never sees or un.
derstands anything beyond the cold
literal absolute phraseology of the law
can do more injustice and cause more
hardshlps and outrage common sense
oftener In the matter of passing upon
the excuses of jurors and dealing with
those who fail TO answer to their
names than can be done In any 9th.
er way by judges.
The other day a certain man was
summoned TO work the road in a
North Texas town. The man was
meat inspector OF the United States
agricultural department and while the
plant In the town was running had
to be on duty and II he was put ON
the road the plant would have been
compelled to shut down.
The mayor OF the town. however,
insisted, and u charge was made
against the man. and the mayor hied
him to Dallas and buried himself In
law library to look up the laws.
How supremely absurd, That man
needed common sense, not law knowl-
edge. II he had plenty or even a
little common sense, he would have
said. You are excused | will not
shut down packing house and
throw two score or more of men out
of work to get one more hand to work

That mayor belongs IN ci,ss
with judges who. however urgent a
mans business, will not excuse him
from the jury. and who issue attach
ments for all those who do not an
swer when called as jurors and enter
fines against them. Nine men out OF
ten who are fit to be jurors will and
do serve when summoned. and II they
are not on hand there is some good
reason for It. II man lodges and
equivocates and invents excuses to
keep from serving he thereby proves
his unfitness and does the public a
service In keeping off the jury.
Many excuses are given that are
not provided for in the letter OF the
statute. Men frequently have i'm.
portant deals on hand-big deliver.
les of cattle or other property to
make within certain time, they are
perhaps farmers and have kept out
OF their fields for weeks by wet wea-
ther. and are caught on the jury in
the very week when they can work
and must work or lose their crops;
or a man may live far from neighbors
| and no one to stay with his family.
and in all these cases the citizen
drawn as juror should be excused
without argument or hesitation or
looking up the law.
The more thoughtful, considerate
and liberal the Judge is in constituting
the law. the more ready will jurors
be to serve when they can. jury
service Is an honora.Ie service, and
1t should not be made so unpleasant
and oppressive as to make good men
shrink from it-Houston Chronicle.
