Women as Jurors.

Pittsburg Chronicle Telegraph.
The New York sun looks with an un-
favorable eye upon DR.. Landsberg's pro-
posal Of the Association OF Advanced
Woman's Clubs in Berlin that, instead
of giving women the ballot the state
admit them to some share in the ad-
minlstration Of justice; to the extent
at least, OF allowing them TO serve on
juries. In his judgment II Is not con-
dusive 10 Just yerdicts that one-half
OF humanity should monopolize the
right of passing upon the delinquencies
Of both halves. On the other side Of
the case, the Sun argues that If the
right Of jury service were given 10
women this would imply their eligi-
bility TO pass upon the election Of po-
litical representatives and thus the
greater privilege would be granted
while Withholding the less. This ar
gument however. may not be met with
the suggestion that in the case Of wo-
men serving as jurors their services
might be qualified so as to exclude
their passing on political cases. Ex-
cluding jurors for cause would be no
innovation. The practice is illustrat-
ed every day in our courts and is re-
.cognized as essential to the legitimate
administration Of Justice A more CO.
gent argument against DR.. Lands
bergs idea is that II is equivalent to
the insertion Of the thin edge Of the
wedge, leaving little doubt as to the
sequel. If those who oppose woman
suffrage are to begin framing compro-
misses il should not be a long step
further to surrender.

TEST THE CORPORATION TAX.

NJ Q doubt the feature Of the new tariff bill
" which provides for the taxing of corpor-
tions, will be bitterly fought in the highest
court The National Association of Agrcul-
tural Implement and Vehicle Manufacturers, in
session at Chicago recently, has been informed
by its attorneys of a method by which the meas
ure may be attacked, and the tax in many in
stances will be paid under protest. 1t is not
so much the amount of the tax that causes
the objection but the so-called Paul Pry features
of it and the probability that If the present tax
works successfully it will be increased are dis
turbing the corporations.
1t is by no means assured that the new tariff
law will produce revenue sufficient to make up
for the deficit in the national treasury, and is
not, money from other sources Of taxation must
be secured Hence the implement manufactur-
ers and others believe that the present corpor-
alton tax, though small in amount, may be but
the entering wedge of a general large taxation
of corporations.
Time of course will be required to see how
the measure will work in practical operation,
but if the inquistorial features are such as
some have thought, the objections and protests
will be loud and long.

NOR KEEN ON cuRRENT AFFAIRs.


q CONSIDERABLE attention has been paid
~ of late at Brown University to sociology
and to questions of the day. 1t is not surprising
therefore, that the professor of history of that
Institution should make a demonstration OF the
information possessed by his students. The
election over the constitutional amendment n
MARYLAND, by which il was hoped to disfranchise
negroes if they were not well informed, prompt
ed Professor Munro, of Brown to learn what
his students of history knew about who's who"
There are twenty-four members of his class,
and not one of them, according to report, could
give correctly the full names of the President
of the United States a Justice of the Supreme
Court Of the United States Justice of the
Supreme Court Of Rhode Island and the Mayor
of Providence.
Eighteen of the class gave the full name Of
the President correctly, and two knew only his
laStraame. No one succeeded in giving the full
name OF a Justice of the Supreme Court OF the
United States correctly seventeen had name
partly correct. but seven could not even give
the last name of Justice. And yet some
people wonder why newspapers make mistakes
in names.
That a class in history should know so little
OF current affairs is surprising. We think our
Wilmington high school pupils could do better
Judging by the way some of them have been
railing up newspaper Offices and asking the
names of the members of the Presidents Cab
met we surmise that our pupils get some kind
OF training IN CURRENT dudnSs il lhSl w hD',
they should. 1t is Just as important to be in
formed on affairs of the present day as it is to
know the history of the past. And It may be
accepted as certain that if bright student while
young shows no desire or aptitude for remem-
bering names he will not develop tendency in
that direction as he grows older. Some men
at twenty-five or thirty could tell the names Of
the Cabinet and would be able to give other
such information, although ten years later they
would have to do some hard thinking to recall
the Cabinet officers.
The truth seems to be that great many
people are not really concerned about such
questions as the Brown University professoG
asked. Political affairs interest them but little
If at all. Most people are not keen in remem-
bering names and initials at any rate If the
Brown experiment were repeated in other col
leges, the result would probably be the same
So much attention IS devoted to football and
social matters connected with college life, the
