IT seems that when a people are
satisfied with existing conditions
which ma" surround them in any
station in life, that it must be use
less to suggest to such that there
are better things to which they are
entitled but, we cannot believe that
the people of Milford are content
to remain passive under the condi-
tions served to the travelling public
at the most important town to the
PennsylvaniaRailroad in lower Del
aware. In Milford reside two di-
rectOrs in the Delaware, Maryland
& Virginia Railroad and one direc-
tor in the highly valuable Delaware
division Of the Pennsylvania system
and it would be natural to suppose
that each of these gentlemen would
be alive to the needs of Milford and
be active in demanding proper
recognition for their services as di-
Tectors, in addition to the annual
pass they are recognized with.
Milford has as a passenger station
an old structure built of brick in
1880, which is without any con-
veniences other than the rude con-
ditions of a crossroads station
and which is also in a stage where
it has out-grown its usefulness.
Not even a shelter Of any kind is
provided for passengers, express or
baggage to debark from the trains
all come down in the weather, be
that good, bad or Indifferent. Then
the cars are of the oldest equipment
of the line and most of the trains
are madeup Of cars which have been
marked and condemned for disposal
OF to be succeeded by other equip
ment. As the D. M. & V. road is
charged with car service to operate
the trains, there is no valid reason
why this road should not have what
it pays for. The farmers largely
bought Of the stock to build the
line and never yet has a dollar been
realized from the investment by
them directly. There is a reason
why the cost Of operation is kept
at the maximum and it does not re-
quire a very strong mind to dig it
up. Let the people have descent
tTains, as we'll as descent train ser i
vice, and we hope that civic pride
will at least prick the hides of the c
directors residing in and about Mil +
iOrd, sufficiently deep to cause them j

WHAT WILL BE DONE '='-'..7
WITH W0MEil JURORS,
A Few knotty Problems Presented &c
Washington Judges.

What to do with women who will
be called to serve aS jurors with men
when the Spokane (Wash.) county su-
perior court conyepas next September
is one of the vexng problems con
fronting the five members of the bench.
headed by Judge Henry l. Kennan.
The various clubs in Spokane have
given out statements that their MEM
bers are ready and willing to do jury
duty. The judges hope modern Sol
omon or Portia will come forward
to unravel the Nngles presented by
these possible situations:
If twelve women are selected to try
case and six disagree from the other
SIX
If four women decide they are right
In q civil action and six men Jurors
hold opposite views.
II mixed jury Of men and women
is kept together In felony case un-
til all are agreed upon verdict.
II six women and six men are locked
in room to determine the guilt or
innocence of person charged with
capital crime.
Relating to service Of Jurors in the
superior court the law adopted by the
legislature Of 1911 says:
"Any woma1i desiring to be excused
from jury service may claim exemp
ton by signing written or printed
notice thereof and returning same to
the sheriff before tho date Of appear
ance and If exemption Is claimed by
reason Of sex no fee shah be allowed
for her appearance"
The law provides that the fury
sworn to try tho issues in felony case.
shall be kept together and In custody
Of the officers of the court except dur
ing the actual progress Of the tris'
thus putting 1t squarely up to Y
Judges to solve the problem IL Il
women who desire to serve as ! nro
| cannot settle it themselves.

$40. 900 is MISSING;
CLERK SUSPENDED

GREENSBORO, N c.. Nov. THAT
United States mail pouch, routed
from Raleigh to New York, and con
tanning $4,000 disappeared two
weeks ago in manner similar TO
recently reported $4,000 theft OF
pouch al Lynchburg, Va. became
known here yesterday Beyond admit
ting the loss of the package officials
refuse TO discuss the matter.
II Is declared unofficially that the
pouch disappeared after being re-
ceipted for by mail clerk on
northbound train passing here and
that the clerk in whose custody II was
last placed has been suspended from
the service pending an investigation
The pouch was handled by the local
postofflce and later transferred TO the
mail clerk now under suspension. II
is said he remembered seeing and
checking il here, but that he did not
detect its loss until he reached the
END of his run The name of the clerk
is withheld 1t is said his suspension
is on the grounds OF carelessness.
PostofIce inspectors admit they
are working on the case. though they
are vet without a tangible clue. The
impression prevails that the disap-
pearance OF this. as well as the
pouch reported lost from Lynchburg
iasl weeL can be accounted for by
the same person or parties.

Prof. Wenley Lectures
On Evolution Theory

Prof r. NJ Wenley, of the depart
ment of philosophy of the University
OF Michigan. lectured on Evolution
in the Church of Our Father, Monday
afternoon.
The nineteenth century, he said,
was noted for an accumulation OF new
facts Our knowledge OF organic NE
dated, in reality. from 1888, the year
OF the annunciation Of the cell the
DRY, and 1859, the date OF the publlca'
ton OF Darwin's epoch-making work
The Origin OF the Species. be.
tween 1860 and 1888 the theory OF
evolution as propoundcd produced an
enormous disturbance. which has only
begun to subside.
The speaker referred TO the bltter
controversy that was waged on oolh
sides. The would be scientist or SUP
porter OF Darwin was as much al laui,
as the ultra ecclesiastic, who clallneu
that evolution was diametrically OBJ
posed TO scriptural revelations. Goou
science gave place 10 dogmatlsm. be
fore Darwin's time. DR.. Wenley
claimed, evolution was an indlNluuai
matter. Darwin made II a genetc
theory and applied 1t to all living or
ganisms. nan <rluded. Darwin was
infinitely more sane than any oil MS
followers. His theory was pro
claimed to the world only after most
exhaustive collection of data and care
full study OF the same.
Nothing could be more absurd thah
TO look upon the evolution as mean
ing mans descent from the MONKEY
or higher apes, which was and is, 10
a large extent, the popular IDEA OF
the term evolution. Evolution pre-
supposes three things-the existence
Of homogeneous matter, the operation
OF energy and the existence OF me
No attempt is made 10 account Tor
these. Granting these three tacts'
evolution az understood by the Dloi'
ogist of today. simply means that all
species Of plants and animal nave
been derived from others in the past
by direct descent and that they IN
future will give rise TO others. Fur
thermore, evolution applies purely 10
organisms and not 10 language or re-
ligion. TO which II has been applied.
