Need Not Segregate Jurors.

The Supreme Court of the United
States, in recent decision declared
that it was no invasion of the con-
stitutional right of the prisoner to
allow the jury to separate or read
newspaper reports of the case in the
course of the trial. 1t held also
that If man, in the course of his
own trial, was forced by the court
to put on coat worn when the crime
was committed, he could not appeal
on the ground that he had been made
to testify against himself.
But this latter feature of the case
fades when the matter of the jury
men is considered For many years
the jurors in every capital case tried
in Missouri have been locked up un-
der conditions even worse than those
confronting the criminal. The ac-
cusod has often been out on bond.
Or perhaps, if in Jail, he has at least
had cell 10 himself.
Not So the jurors. They have to
"stay together" eat aud sleep in
one room and look into each others
faces for the dragging weeks, often,
Of trial. The strain more often is
harder on them than on the prison
cr--that is, while the actual trial is
in progress.
Nevertheless, the supreme Court
did not strike II single blow for the
freedom of the Missouri Juror when
it made the decision referred to.
The supreme Court of the United
States, while its decisions are final
on constitutional questions, cannot
settle single point in the criminal
procedure of State. Therefore,
while its intentions are good, the
Supreme Court has not changed the
status In Missouri in any way.
No court can do this except Mis-.
souri's highest tribunal The Legis.
laturc could authorize a change, per
| hapS, but ii would take an opinion
of the court finally to determine II
constitutional rights were entirely
safeguarded by the new arrange
mcnt. Kansas, New York and othe
States allow the jurors to scparat,
during the course of II capital cas-,
and not until the evidence is all il
aud the instructions Of the cour
have been given are they require,
to remain together to deliberate.
The presumption in those states
a safe enough one, it would seem
is that men sufficiently intelligen
and honest to be chosen as juror
are above reproach In the matter q
being Influenced rs to their judg

Suffrage and the Government.

Our own government is one of the
freest in the world in the matter OF
suffrage, and yet We bar out, in most
States, all women; we bar out Mon
golians, no matter how intelligent;
we bar out Indians, and all foreign
ers who have not passed through a
certain probationary stage and have
not acquired II certain small amount
of education.
We also declare-for an arbitrary
limit must be placed somewhere
that no person under 2l years Of age
may exercise the right to vote, al
though some boys Of IS are to-day
better equipped to pass intelligently
upon public questions than many
grown men. We even place adult
white men on probation until they
have resided for certain length of
time, often as much as two years,
in the State or the town where they
wish to east their ballots. Our reg
istration and ballot laws eliminate
hundreds Of thousands of voters,
and, finally, we bar out everywhere
the defective and criminal classes of
our population.
We do not realize, sometimes, /
think, how limited the franchise
really is, even in America. We for
get that, out Of nearly ninety million
people in the United States, fewer
than fifteen million cast their votes
for President in l90S-or about one
In ever six.-Ray $. Baker in The

STATE REPRESENTATION

How readily Americans "movc"
is shown by the fact that hardly
two-thirdS of the Representatives
and only about half the Senators in
Congress were born in the States
which they now serve. No member
of either House from Colorado, Ida
no, Montana, the Dakutas, Wash
ington or Wyoming is native of
the State he represents. one Of the
Senators of Indiana was born in
Ohio, and SO were both the Sem
tors from West Virginia. Speaker
| Cannon of Illinois was born in
/ North Carolina.
Virginia is the largest State rep
| resented in both Houses wholly by
native sons. Delaware. Maine and
/ Vermont are the only others on the
list. Pennsylvania is represented
chiefly by native Pennsylvanians :;
but New York, among the old States,
shows an opposite tendency.
In the earlier history of the cOun-
try men often became prominent in
the politics Of several States in
turn. James Shields, whose figure
stands in Statuary Hall in the Cap
itol ut Washington as the gift of
| Illinois, served three States in the
United States Senate. 5. s. Cox,
famiIiarly known as "Sunset" Cox,
represented Ohio in Congress, and
afterwards New York. George w.
Jones held important offices in Mis-
souri,, Wisconsin, Iowa and the
Northwest Territory. Senator FL
kins OF West Virginia was at one
time territorial delegate from New
Mexico.

MANY TO LOSE JOBS.

A Republic Washington special
says: The Democratic victory in
the congressional elections yester-
day will result in an exodus of about
800 employees, big and small, from
the House wing Of the Capitol i'm
mediately upon the adjournment of
the present session, March 1 next.
Many of them have been holding on
to their jobs for the sixteen years OF
the continuous Republican rule OF
the lower branch Of Congress.
These employees draw aggregate
salaries Of approximately $4,000 n
year, being enabled by the nature OF
their work, to spend about one-half
Of their time at home. The places
will be filled with Democrats.
The Capitol is one place in the
Government service where civil-scr-
vice rules do not prevail.
The best Of the position which will
be vacated by the Republicans is
that of clerk Of the House, now held
by Alexander Mcdowell Of Pennsyl-
vania. The Democratic House will
elect Mr.. McDowell's : successor. Al
ready number Of candidates have
been mentioned, among them being
Leouidas Livingston of Georgia,
who was defeated this year in the
primary in his State. He is the old
est Democratic member Of the pres.
ent House in point of continuous
service.
Should Champ Clark be made
Speaker, as now seems very prob.
able, he will have choice appoint
ments to offer. One will be that de.
siguated as clerk at the Speaker
table, but popularity known as the
parliamentary clerk.
The position is now held by Asher
Kinds, who himself becomes mem
Der Of the new Congress as n Repub
lican member from Maine. 1t prob
ably is the most important in the
list Of places to he filled.

The ST. Louis Republic inquiries:
"Will somebody kindly tell why
St. Louis was unlike every other
part OF the United States on Tues
day. Everywhere else, including
Missouri outside OF ST. Louis, a
Democratic tidal wave swept re.
sistlessly. In ST Louis alone the
Democratic vote fell off heavily
and the Republican vote increased
heavily. Study the figures. The

thing, absolutely ineXplicablc OF

The unexpected happened when
st. Francois county failed to give
d majority for Amendment No. 10
last Tuesday. Frem the dry
majority in the local option con-
test two years ago, and the active
campaign conducted by the local
prohibition organizations, supple
mented with the splendid work
done by the good women, it was
confidently expected that the coun-
ty would give No. 10 substantial
majority. There was little hope
among those whose feelings did
not obscure their Judgment that the
State would go dry" for the
powerful business influences that
were against the amendment were
something that nothing short OF a
revolution could overcome, but
still it was a great disappointment
TO the local 'drys" that St. Fran
co.'s county went wet"
