The Task Of Getting a Jury.

Exactly the same thing is being
attempted in the impaneling of the

has been done without time in this

ignorance. Should twelve men be
found in Los Angeles county who
either had not become familiar with
the Times dynamiting case through
the newspapers or otherwise, or had
formed no opinions upon the case.
what would be gained thereby?
Would not a dozen men Of alert in
telligence and decision be more
likely to pass correctly on the facts?
One of the veniremen testifies that
he has read all about the case and
formed his own conclusions, but that
In spite of this, he could render a
fair decision upon the law and evil
dence and would require the same
proof before coming to conclusion
as he would were his mind not made
up beforehand. But that man is re-
1ected, though the presiding Judge
considers him fit to serve. 1t seems
to us the premium should be placed
on intelligence and integrity, not on
slothful indifference, which are
parts of ignorance.
Moreover, the temptation is ire
sistible to distrust a man who says
that he had not pursued this par
ticular case far enough to form some
opinion about it. The most that
can reasonably be hoped for in a
Jury is to get men of average mind
and honesty who cannot be thumb
screwed or hoodwinked away from
what they conscientiously believe to
be the truth and justice. Surely
these qualifications are not possessed
only by the ignorant and thoughtless.

The Young Man in Politics.

In a city the size Of Omaha there
must be, at rough guess, over 1000
young men who register and vote for
the first time at each annual cleo

CARDS the casting Of his first ballot

as a matter of fact, II begins with
registration when, answering under
oath the questions pertaining to his
qualifications as a voter, he declares
his party affiliation and announces
which political party he wants to be
enrolled with. II he says "republi-
can" democratic" or Socialist" he
puts himself in the membership of
that political party, and limits his
activities in nominating primaries to
the makeup OF his party ticket.
The young man of push and en-
ergy will register as a republican, be-
cause the republican party has shown
that It is the party OF progress and
the only party that does things, and
goes forward. Not only in past
achievements. but in the present poll
cies and purposes the republican
party must appeal strongest TO the
young man who is starting out in
life, and whose aspirations are for
good government on sound lines in
city, state and nation. He should
