THERE ARE JURIEs AND JuRIEs

THERE ARE JURIEs AND JURIEs A contemporary wonders, in degree bordering on amazement, that two of the jurors selected to try the Coopers down in Nashville for the murder of Senator Carmaek are men who confess that they ''never read the papers," and are ''all but positively illiterate
 Without commenting ourselves unre- servedly to the proposition we shall forthwith set up, it occurs to us, never theless. that an argument might be ad- vanced in this matter not altogether de- void of logic that is plausible if not ul- timately conclusive. When we contem- plate the outcome of the Thornton Jen- kins Hains case, but recently under the public eye, and the more ancinet but none the less discreditable Thaw case, not to mention others of parallel per suasion, we are moved to speculate con siderably as to what might have hap pened had these cases been left to juries composed of men who "never read the papers" and were "all but illiterate. !" In the Hains and the Thaw cases the juries were theoretically composed of sane, upright, honorable men. There does not appear to have been juror in the lot disqualified because of disposi- tion not to read the newspapers or for illiteracy. On the contrary, each jury man was presumed to be something of an extremist the other way.
 By something of converse process of reasoning we are led to suspect that a different outcome might have been re- corded in these matters had the juries been long on common sense, as pri- mary proposition, and short on smart Iness and up-to-dat wisdom secondarily. Some of the most level-headed men in this world in some respects have been wonderfully deficient in others. If the juries that do read newspapers and get themselves educated cannot do any bet ter than the juries in the Hains and Thaw cases did, we are not sure but that 1t would be a good idea to turn the next case of the kind over to the ignoramuses. At all events, if We did not get an improved verdict. we should not be so keenly disappointed. You do not expect anything much from dunce or an ignoramus.

USING THE INSTRUMENT AT HAND

USING THE INSTRUMENT AT HAND
 Religionists and social reformers work along two broadly divergent lines to reach the same goal. One great group would remove all evil and so all tempta- tion from the world by suppression through laws or by acting directly upon the objects themselves and annihilating them. They have no stomach to toler ate gradual reform.
 They would make the world clean and pure at once as habitation for man, and by that means expect that man himself would take on the nature of his environment. This seems to imply that evil or sin is not inherent ill the human family. but is wholly the result of pro- pinquity, of familiarity through asso- ciation.
 The other school, if we may so call it, would expend its energies primarily upon man himself from infancy on. These would inculcate love of truth an appreciation of what is good and pure and beautiful in nature, in art, music, literature and morals. To this end they eagerly make use of any agen- cy which presents itself regardless of its source.
 They would arouse the religious ele- ment's moral sense and intellectual dis elimination and make man strong, inde- pendent and resistful. Preferring the good, evil would die of its own inertia, it's lack of fruitful soil. Man would pass it by in disgust or aversion and by his own will chose the better part.
 There need be no quarrel between these two schools. The world has a place for both and they in fact supple ment each other. But the realization of common object should make them tolerant and helpful of one another.
 They might also without any stretch ing of the imagination realize that nei- ther alone can regenerate the world as quickly and easily as in combination, nor can they combined regenerate the world in the twinkling of an eye. Man may not be inherently bad. but he pre- sents fruitful state for infection, and also temptation has all,rements that have conquered even courageous souls.
 Whatever may come with the unseen future, the world has not yet reached the millennium. So the man who will rot accept help to do good because he considers 1t as coming from an evil source, has conception of his work which is open at least to criticism. He is on plane with his brother who will not recognize any means of bettering what he considers an evil save total an initiation.
 Both lay themselves open to the charge of bigotry. Both fail to realize that they may be turning back the clock by refusing to recognize that changing evile to good uses, or grating evil with good, may after all be God s way of evolution, if not their own way of instantaneous correction.

HOW YOU MAY BE AS GOOD AS A
 COW


 Of all the busy cows in these United States, Jacoba Irena of Illinois is said to be the champion.
 They have just concluded test of year, during which every drop of this famous cows milk was carefully weighed and tested. The figures are surprising.
 The COW gave about eight and half tons of milk from which 1,122 pounds of butter, worth sS25, was churned.
 Now there's good years work for Jacoba Irena. Cattle men are talking about her and the livestock magazines are printing her picture. Her owner is SO rich that he refuses to fix a price for her, but $5,000 is estimated to be a fair figure
 But the net profits on Jacoba's s milk, after paying for feed and keep, was probably little more than hundred dol lars. On that basis how can she be worth s5,o007 Pouring forth as she does, very river of rich Jersey cream, she would warrant a valuation on a six per cent basis of about $1,65o-on her milk producing record. That is, she is worth three times as much as her years work shows.
 Why?
 You, young man and young woman, are perhaps surveying your past year with considerable pride and self-satis- faction.
 1T haven't missed day at work, l" you say. have been on the job every working .hour. have earned so many dollars. am useful member of society,"
 Good. Your capitalized value may be found by adding two ciphers to your yearly earnings and dividing by six.
 But Jacoba Irena was at work every day, and Sundays, patiently chewing her cud and storing up rich milk and earn ing better wages than any other bossy in America, and yet she is worth three times as much as her capitalized earn ings.
 That <, in proportion she is worth three times as much as you are, oh, in- dustrious reader.
 Why?
 Because Jacoba Irena gives to the world not only a very ocean of golden milk, but also, each year, a tiny coun- terpart of herself heagtt
 And that's two-thirds her value.
 So if you want to be worth three times as much as your wages, observe the habit of the soft-eyed Jacoba and give the world another human being baby-which measured even by the

IS IT TO LAUGH OR TO swEAR9


 This is funny old world with lots of people in it and no two of them just alike. In some respects, too, the portion known as the United States be- comes almost joke in its insistent jux- taposition of Inconsistencies, since in. congruity is the essential of hunor,
 For our physical protection we main tain great navy and Lilliputian army. To preserve an equality upon the seas we will spend slS5. 100000 this coming year, and have averaged s1oo.. 100000 for some years past; but hand. ful of men is considered all the pro tection needed on land.
 The condition fip-nops, however when it comes to economies and the pre- tection of our industries. Here 1t is all on the land with the sea ignored For example. when MT. Taft ventured to buy materials for constructing the Pan anna canal, where they could be bought cheap, a howl went up that tore frenzy to tatters.
 But with the utmost composure and as matter of coure we see every pound of those materials transported in for. eign vessels. If a machine marked Made in England or Made in Ger many was found on the canal zone, it would be handled with tongs as a thing unclean, but in the harbors at either end of the canal the Stars and Stripes are only seen floating when over a chance vessel that is sort of ocean tramp or on one of our visiting war ships.
 We have the second navy of the world coaled from foreign colliers, and main tain to preserve the right of English, German, French, Norwegian and every other kind of foreign vessels to carry our land protected products to every known cline.
 That these foreign ships may the more quickly circle the globe we spend $300,-  100000 constructing the Panama canal. We are the only nation in history that has dug canals, cut channels, deepened ports, constructed magnificent harbors and supported superlative navy to pro tect and foster solely the merchant ma rine of other countries.
 We are the only nation in history that has magnihed it's physical protec- ton on the seas and totally neglected it on land; while providing an extreme economic protection on land with to- tai absence of similar protection on the seas.
 In the one instance we travel with a sea leg and crutch; in the other with land leg and crutch. If We should attempt to swing the "big stick" in war we would be apt to fall on our nose, and the more we extend our industrial development on land, the greater the harvest of our rivals on the ocean.
 It is to laugh or it is to swear, just as our sense of humor or our sense of sense preponderates.
