WOMEN I'M OFFICIAL LIFE.

Results of Elections in Bohemia and
Norway-Swediet. PoIicewonen.
The progress of women in official
life in Europe is slow, but it cannot
he doubted that progress is being
made
Within the last few weeks women
appeared for the first time as candi-
dates for election to the Bohemian
Diet. 1t had been demonstrated as
a legal proposition that if they full
filled the other requirements their sex
was no bar to their election.
So far their candidacy stands mere
ly as a demonstration. Two women
received votes of some Importance.
One, Maria Jumore, who ran in the
district of Hohenmauth, had LA
votes, while the man who won had
90. In Prague the Social Democrats
made a woman, Miss Macheva, their
candidate. She polled about 20 per
cent of the total vote
The woman suffragists of Norway
were disappointed at the outcome OF
the local election in Christlan1a. In
all the other parts of the country
they elected important delegations to
the commercial councils. In the CAPT
tai only five women were chosen in
total Of eightv-four city councillors.
There is a Inactive agitation going on
all over the country to bring the
women-and men-voters Of Chris
tiania to adiTerent frame of mind.
Of advances made where the suf-
frage was not involved the appoint
ment of three women policemen in
Stockholm is an instance. The au-
thorities have determined to expert
ment with them. They are to have
salaries Of / 90 kronen, or about $3.50
a year, to begin with.
England also has just named her
first woman school physician. She is
Miss sophy B. Jac son. M. D., and
she has been appointed in the Dor

Would Save the Candles.

Archduchess Friedrich of Austria
has recently raised a tempest by char
acterizing as "preposterous extrava-
gance" the time-honored custom in
Austrian palaces that a candle once
extinguished may never be relighted
The archduchess seems to have long
been harboring the idea in her mind,
for it was ten years ago, if the report
of court ladies is to be believed, that
she made her first remonstrance
against the custom.

HARMON IN 1912?

The st. Louis Globe Democrat tips
Governor Harmon, of Ohio, for the
Democratic nomination for president
in 1912 1t says:
'The dinner to Governor Harmon
in Columbus next week will be sure
to attract national attention. Ohio Is
the largest Republican state which
has been giving any favors to Demo-
Gratis in recent times. Minnesota.
which Governor Johnson carried
three times in succession, has only a
few electoral votes, and II Is outside
of the presidential nomination zone.
Indiana, which Governor Marshall
carried last November. has furnished
a few men whose names were men
toned in connection with the presi-
dency and contributed one man TO
that Office. But Marshall lacks the
popular qualities of Harmon, and his
state lacks the electoral votes which
would make It much OF an asset to
any party unless in a very close cleo
ton.
Governor Harmon has certain ele-
ments of attractlveness. His service
as attorney general in Cleveland's
second cabinet gave him a national
name. He is strong both with the
old legitimists in his party and with
the Bryanites. Every Republican
saw that the Democrats, in choosing
Harmon for their gubernatorial nomi-
nee in 1908, selected their most pop
ular man. He will be renominated
for governor in 1919, and the pres
tige which his record has given him
thus far will make him formidable
If ne carries his state next year, and
II he makes no mistakes in Office in
the succeeding twelve months, he will
undoubtedly have a powerful follow
ing in the convention of 1918. In
local politics the Ohio Republicans
are erratic. They elected Herrick
governor in 1903 by $4,000 plu-
rality. but he was defeated at the
polls in 1906 by Pattison. In nom
mating Harris in 1908 they courted
the defeat which they received. For
several reasons the Ohio campaign OF
1910 will attract the country's atten-
ton"

THE SUPREME COURT AND THE
REELFOOT JURY

Despite the bitter words of Attor-
ney General Caldwell, we are not of
a disposition to denounce the Ten
nessee supreme court out of hand. It
is true that the circuit court, which
convicted the Reelfoot night riders
was reversed on technicalities and
there was nothing in the record to
change the popular verdict that the
defendants were guilty of the muir
der of Quentin Rankin; but II the
trial court permitted irregularities in
the selection of a jury, contrary to
the well known laws of Tennessee
designed to protect the accused, the
supreme court was right in reversing
Judge Jones, and he should be CEN
sured for his conduct.
There IL more probability that the
trial court was swayed by popular
prejudice against the defendants,
than that the appellate court was
swayed by any influences in favor of
the accused; but we do not assume
that either court was Influenced. We
have plenty OF room for complaint at
the laws delay. which practically
bars a poor man from seeking resti-
tuition in our courts. and the techni-
calitiec provided for the protec-
ton of the accused at a time when
persecution was possible, which now
enable malefactors to escape their
desert; but legal procedure must be
fixed and certain. and short cuts to
what appears to be justice in one
case. may set a precedent that re-
suits in gross injustice in another.
If We blame anyone In this case,
We blame the trial court, which per
mitted technical errors to render eff
forts at punishment abortive and our
principal concern is that II will be
we'll nigh impossible to secure a jury
for the second trial. There is much
buncombe about forming and express
ing opinions on a case. ANY intelli-
gent human being, hearing a state of
facts, will form a conclusion based
on those facts. He can't help II; for
while he has a mind that mind will
act. But such an opinion should not
interfere with the ability of a reason
able man to discard II on entering
the jury box, and with mind free
from prejudice hear the evidence and
form a fair and just conclusion. We
do not believe the law goes. or ever
contemplated going to the extent OF
excluding intelligence from the jury,
and in this day of rapid transit and
the daily newspapers, permitting
only the ignorant. illiterate and those
incapable of forming an opinion TO
sit In judgment on their peers.
