JUROR WITH WHISKERS

Is inror with whiskers apt 10 be
old fashioned in his ideas in a Grim
inal case and soak" the defendant
upon the principles embodied in the
ancient Mosaic law? Or does the
fancy of the old Greeks that a man
with whiskers naturally was endowed
bravery still exist, and are bearded
jurors feared as pitiless?" says the
Chicago Tribune.
The remarks OF Judge Willard Nj
McEwan before tine States attorneys
convention recently 10 the effect that
lawyers for the defence IN criminal
cases do not trust whiskered jurors
decisions called forth these suggestions
dy States Attorney John r. w. Way
man and Attorney Charles f. Erb-
stein.
1t Is true that a feeling exists
among lawyers TO the effect that a
man with whiskers is an undesirable
I juror" said Mr. Wayman. Il con-
fess I don't know the specific reason
for IT, and In fact must admit that the
best case l ever won was a case where
the foreman Of the jury had whiskers
all over his face. So did the man who
hung the jury for the defence in this
FIRST Cronin trial. The ancient Greeks
| believed that man with whskers
was endowed with bravery. and per-
haps the present superstition is trace
able to the ancient belief"
"All men wore whiskers In the ole
Bible countries in the days when judg.
ments were unrelenting." said Attornt,
Erbstcin a strict adherent 10 tn,
ancient laws of Moses might be un.
yielding and be stern. 1t is on tn,
principle that Jew with whiskers /:
likely TO be orthodox. / don't wan
men with whiskers on juries that tr.
cases for me"
The jury experts went so far In thi
way Of sweeping aside the impression
that beneyolence goes with "old gen
tiemen withwhiskers"

A WEST POINT MONUMENT

A centotaph of white Carrara marble
bearing futed column upon a square
base. the latter encircled with stars
and supported at the four corners with
marble cannon, stood unit recent
years upon plateau on the bank of
the Hudson River near Fort Knox.
It bore simple inscription: "Dade
and his command"
Tradition has it that when young
West Point cadet came upon the Dade
centotaph he turned to his comrade
and said: Now l know why I am
here"
This centotaph IS now in front OF
Memorial Hall. The inscription con-
veys no idea Of the tragic event it
commentaries. In 1885. when the
Seminole Indians refused to emigrate
from Florida. Gen. Clinch was sent 20
Fort Drade to preserve peace. The
Seminoles were so aggressive that
Clinch asked for more troops and they
were sent under command OF Major
Dade of the Fourth Infantry.
They reached Tampa on Decenb n
% and started on a march of 100 miles
to Fort Drade via Fort King. The
command, consisting of III officers
and mon. was attacked at the With
lacooche River on December 2S by 500
Indians and 100 negroes. and after a.
desperate engagement of five hours the
entire command was massacred save
three men. who We're wounded. two Of
whom effected their escape.
The pade monument is the only
monument at the Point erected to the
memory Of heroes Of Indian wars,
says Uncle Sans Magazine. The Off
GERS Of our army before the civil war
served a life time on the frontier, and
though engaged in many Indian cam
paigns were never rewarded by bro
vets. The law distinctly requires that
brevets shall not be bestowed except
in time Of war; and the contests on
the frontier for so many long years.

MONTANA YIELDS STAND ALONE.

When it comes to the average yield
of wheat per acre Montana stands
alone in these United States-and
don't you forget it!
You never thought that, did you?
Sure not!
You thought because you came from
old Illinois, or some eastern state
that OF course your own state had
Montana nailed to the mast; that
was natural for you to think, says the
Great Falls Leader. And if you
came originally from Montana, or
came so early that you fail to know
the difference, then you gave heed to
the old time gentleman OF faded
whiskers who told time out OF mind
that Montana was nothing but
stock and mining state: that nothing
would grow here. and that the men
who sought to cultivate the Montana
prairie were only joking with nature,
at the best, and We're doomed to dis
nlal and disconcerting defeat. The
fact that those old gentlemen carved
ont the state hardly ovprbalancas The
fact that a number of them nearly
depopulated it afterward by their
anti-agriculture assinity' And that's
no joke-in fact there are a large and
varied number of Montana citizens
yet who set around the happy tireside
and find happiness in predicting ulti-
mate ana everla,t disaster upon
the man who dared place his all III
winter wheat. But it s different now:
yes, indeed. And still you would
hardly believe that Montana has the
rest of the United States tied to the
starting post when it comes to wheat
yield-that Montana stood i'm the gal
aXy, which is a lovely word, tipping
the v4ry top. But it is a fact Just
the same. Here are the official figures
from the department Of agriculture
Of the United States-read them:
average wheat yield per acre for the
United States:
North Dakota (last loyearS). 1928
Washington (laSt 10 years.. ..... 23.3
Nevada (last 10 years.. .26.O
Montana nast 10 years.. ......... 26.7
North Carolina 0ast 10 years. . 90

Ohio last 80 years.. IA

How does that strike YOU. old
timer:
In average yield of wheat Montana
leads the United States from Soda to
hook past that in your old hat.
