Why Lock Up a Jury?

1t is an indignity for a free citizen,
acting as pare of a court of Justice to
have his liberty taken away by a show
of force for he is taken into custody,
led into a room, and locked in forciDly
by court officers and he might well ask
himself whether he is capable of rem
dering a strictly impartial verdict under
restraint. Perhaps that is one way of
convincing the prisoner at the bar that
he is being tried by his peers, In a
recent murder trial in New York City,
notorious over the whole civilized world,
each juror was placed under arrest as
he stepped into the jury-boX, even be-
fore the case had opened, and he was
kept close prisoner unless fortunate
enough to be rejected as juror -
throughout the wearisome weeks of
that trial. The excuse offered Tor TINS
ndignity for it is certainly that, dis
guise it how you will was that it was
necessary to prevent some jurymaa be-
ing bribed; but it does not seem unrea-
sonable for an honest man to ask why
he should be suspected of willingness to
be corrupted any more readily than the
Judge on the district attorney. Judges
and district attorneys have been known
to be bribcd, or bribers. before now;
perhaps on the record quite as often as
jurymen. Why not lock up the Judge
andprevent the possibility, or suspicion,
Of their being "reached" - Joseph

Against All Having.

Hazing, in all its forms. has been
permanently abolished at the University
Of Wisconsin by the final step taken by
the freshmen class in recent meeting,
in which the first year students unani-
mously ratified the resolutions of the
student conference committee ruling
against all forms of hazing. An Of
the student organizations, including the
classes, fraternities, societies and clubs,
have ratified the resolutions against
hazing, so that every student in the
university is now committed 20 a defn-
lite stand against the practice in the
future. The Tribune is pleased to note
this step along the road to common
sense and civilization.

us may be lacking in cheer, we are
