Use verdct-he is hero If he is actuated by person

ed to the wes of the jury fxer" he is traitor to
his trust and an enemy to society
women suffragist everywhere" says the New
York Evening Post, will note with interest the
that jury of men in Wyoming acquitted woman of
the murder of her husband because according to the
foreman of the jury, we coudent bear to think of
sending sobbing, shreking woman to the galows."
One of the favorite arguments against the suragette
is that, with women on jures, sentiment would con-
troll; that tender feminine hearts, and not reason,
would dictate the verdics. It is matter of interest
that chief justice of the territory of Washington de-
cared that in his experience, with mixed ures, this
was not the case that women not to be imposed
upon by pretty but artful dodger in the criminals

in moving the jurors. In this Wyoming case, the evil

jurors to find verdict calling for the death penalty

husband as he lay asleep. Of course, women Jurors
might have connved at amiscrrage of justice like this
But the incident clearly shows that neither all the wis

THE TRIAL JURY.

Among the venerable traditions concerning the
jury none has been pertinently criticized than
the custom of putting premium of ignorance by pre-
ferring Jurors whose minds are devoid of contents
as vacuum.
On the trial of murder case in South Dakota, not
long since the attorneys found juror Who from the
customary point of view was an ideal specimen. He
had not read any newspaper accounts OF the murder
he never took no interest in newspapers. He had
never heard of President Taft and he did not know the
meaning of the word tariff He believed he had
heard ell' CT Roosevelt; sort of thought Roosevelt
was soldier but had most forgot what it was he
had heard about him. Of cours such juror ac-
cepted He did not have any opinions about the case
at bar apparently about anything else
A few months ago Judge Shelton of Macon, Mis-
souri, had the courage to declare that who do not
read the newspapers not calculated to make good
jurors If this idea adopted it would expedite
trials reduce the cost of trying murder cases, insure
the selection of better type of jurors, and materially
aid the cause of justice
Can an accused person be said to be tried by
jury of his peers if the box is filled by whose minds
are closed against all the influence of enlightenment
exercised by the press of to-day?
Fortunately the number of men who do not read
newspapers grows smaller every year. You could not
discover in both the Dakotas, twelve of the type
of the juror mentioned But if that were possible it
were better that it be left undone There is more
deporabe jest than jury which is itself joke bring
ing the law into rdicule and trifing with the rights
of itigants prisoners The jures OF the future will
be composed of intelligent men, unwilling to play the
part of the clown of the law
The obstinate man who ''hangs" the jury will
never be popular Whether he ought to be praised or
condemned depends upon his motive If he is true to
his conviction and has reasonable grounds for them if
he manfuIy refuses to concur in shameful comprom-
