"A miscarriage of justice in
murder trial in which a
woman was the defendant, the trial
judge expressed the opinion that it
would be necessary to have women
iuries to try women criminals, be-
cause if woman was young and
good looking it was practically i'm
possible to get men to convict her,
no matter how strong the evidence
was against her.
Judge Mary Bartelme, the first
woman ever honored with call to
the bench in Illinois, who will sit
as associate judge with Judge Mer-
rift c. Pinckney in the juvenile
court. takes the same view of the
necessity for woman Jurors. She
believes in mixed juries, and says:
The Metamorphosis.
"Womer OF juries will change
lots Of things for the better You
will find that lawyers must depend
on the legitimate facts if they hope
to impress mixed juries. Women
will prncture a good many bal
looms that prove good for dizzy
flights in the courts nowadays
Undoubtedly both Of these dis
tinsuished jurists are right. There
is not only room fer women in the
jury box, but there is a crying need
for them there. Our greatest two
pieces of national humor have been
that in a democracy one-half Of the
people had no voice in government,
and that in trial by jury, which
guarantees to every one a trial by
his peers women were tried by
men.
And this latter joke is given a
further point by the fact that men
frankly admit that they don't I'M
derstand women and are not up to
the tricks and manners of even the
smalIes, girl child.
Ii has been said that the strang-
est thing on earth is how twelve
intelligent men can get together
and act like one old woman, The
next strange thing IS how twelve
hard headed, practical business
men dissolve into sentimental
mush when they get in a jury box.
Apparently they don't weigh evil
dence, nor take probabilities into
account. nor Use any common sense
IN Judging character and motives If
they are trying woman. All that
the defense has to do is to talk
platitudinously about home and
mother" little children and angel
wings and wronged innocence and
the jury will file solemnly out and
bring in a verdict of mot guilty"
no matter how clea ly it has been
proven that the murderess had

WILSON, MARSHALL AND TAI
BOTT CLUB.

This Club is now in full organiZa-
ton, and is actively engaged in pro-
noting the purposes for which it was
formed 1t deserves the cooperation
and support of all Democrats, and
also all Republicans who want to get
on the right track this fall.
The Club had a rousing meeting on
Tuesday evening last, at the Opera
House. Senator Carville D. Benson,
of Baltimore county, who had accept
cd an invitation from the Club, was
present and made an admirable
speech. The singing by the young
men was an attractive feature of the
meeting, and the enthusiasm mani
tested reminded one of the unique
and wonderful Club of four years ago.
1t is hopeful thing to see young
men taking an interest in clean poll
tics. We have come upon time, and
every good citizen ought to feel
thankful for it, when public senti-
ment will not tolerate corrupt poll
tics. And why should it ever have
tolerated it? Almost every man in
the community will demand honesty
and clean methods in business and in
social life, and it is amazing that
there ever should have been, in the
view of any man, different standard
for politics. But it was SO, and we
are now just emerging from this I'M
wholesome condition. Many of the
states, including our own, have pass
Cd Corrupt Practices laws, which lay
heavy penalties upon the corrupt use
of money at our elections. Full pub
licity of campaign expenses is now
required, and this is a most salutary
provision. There is nothing that re-
strains corruption as certainly as
publicity. You can head off the cor
rupt politician when you bring him
into the lime light and let the COM
munity see what sort of creature he
is.
Under enlightened public senti-
ment, political methods are brought
more and more under the eye of the
public, and the people are getting
to know more about the conduct of
the government. This is a healthy
condition and i what the Democratic
party stands for in this campaign.
Woodrow Wilson, our candidate for
the Presidency, il a true disciple of
Thomas Jefferson, and as such is urg-
ing the people everywhere to rise up
and assert themselves i'm the manage
ment Of the affairs of the government.
Weare glad toknow that thereare so
many young men connected with the
Wilson, Marshall and Talbot Club,
and we are sure their presence will
exert a healthy influence. Young
men ought to take an interest in poll
tics The government will soon be
i'm the hands of those who are now
young men.
They should look upon the Elective
Franchise a. d valuable privilege
and an important trust, and should
see to it, that it is never debauched.

upon new era of clean politics, ant

necessary for railroad construction
and equipment, all of which is taken
into the estimate in fixing the freight
charges Of the carrier, they make
more costly the transportation Of his
products to market.
They have ostracized the American
laborer, and filled their mills and fac
tories with foreigners; by evasion
and subterfuge they have rendered
nugatory the contract labor law, and
thrown wide open the doors for the
Importation of cheap labor, and clos
ed them tight against the importation
of cheap clothing and cheap food.
BY monopolies they have destroyed
competition so as to control prices,
until in land Of plenty, restitution
is knocking at the door of every poor
mans hamlet in the land
by combination of industries they
have prevented their diversity, SO as
to curtail opportunity for employ
the struggling young men of our
country.
The avenues of political preferment
are so controlled and guarded by
them, that intellectual endowments
are ignored, while servility to their
wishes is made the paramount quail
f1cation.
They have caused national legisla-
ton to be bought and sold commodity
like, and money that was made by
legislation has been used to control
legislation.
They have SO debauched the cleo
torate in every state in the Union
that the highest law making body in
the country is reproachfully styled
'the millionaire's' club
BY the misuse of the vast wealth
which they control they have succeed
ed, in numerous instances, in cor
rupting the legislative and executive
branches Of our government to such
an extent that relief through those
channels Is altogether hopeless.
In this exigency we appeal to the
people, who under our form of gov
eminent are supreme, and the source
of all power, and ask them to aid, by
contributions of money, either in
large or small amounts, in the cleo
ton of Wilson and Marshall and a
Democratic Congress, who will rescue
them from the evils that beset them,
and also threaten the life of the Re-
public.
AS has been wisely stated by Sena-
tor Lee, in a circular letter,
Governor Wilson il the peoples
candidate and the people should
pay the expenses of his campaign.
The interests will not do twill
son il not their candidate-and they
will not be permitted to do it."

American politics has am appeal for
funds been made exclusive

STlMSON TELLS WHY HE
Is SUPPORTER OF TAFT

Chicago, March 6.-Henry L. Slim
son, secretary of war. opened the Taft
campaign with an address before the
Taft club of Illinois here last night.
Secretary Stimson, in announcing his
decision as between Taft and Roose-
welt, declared:
81 am for the denomination of Presi-
dent Taft.
81 am now and always have been a
progressive.
MIR. Taft has faithfully carried out
the progressive faith.
81 entered public life under the in
SEPARATION of Theodore Roosevelt.
81 am a firm believer in his great
national policies.
81 now remain his sincere friend.
But | believe those who are forcing
him, against his original intention,
into the arena against Mr.. Taft, are
jeopardizing instead of helping real
progress.
"Mr Taft has faithfully carried out
his pledges of four years ago.
'Mr. Taft has been most falsely vii
lifted and abused.
The recall of judges would bring
the courts down into the welter OF
politics"

THINK THEY HAVE
SLIPPEDONE over
Deneen Campaign Managers
and the Advantage They
Have Secured Locally.
PROVIDED 1T WILL STICK
Get Governor on Political Tour on
Stage With John Mitchell
at the Illinois.

Governor Charles S. Deneen's cam
paign managers in Rock Island are
still congratulating themselves on the
fact that when he speaks at the Illinois
theatre tomorrow evening he will have
about ten times as many auditors as
he would have had had he been the
only attraction at the theatre. As has
been previously announced, the COVER
nor is to hold forth from the same
platform as John Mitchell, vice presl-
dent of the American Federation OF
Labor Arrangements have been near
ly completed. All is settled with the
exception of the amount of money that
goes into the Golfers of the theatre.
That is a matter which may hold fire
till tomorrow night.
MORE THAN 1000.
When the conflict in dates of the two
meetings was discovered, 1000 tickets
for the Mitchell meeting had been sold
by members of the Tri-City Federation
of Labor, under whose auspices the
labor meeting is to be held. Realizing
that fact, Governor Deneen's bench
men were quick TO grasp the opportun-
ity to have the governor speak along,
side of Mr. Mitchell. The governor is
to crate for the first half of the even
| ing. Then he is to step gracefully
aside and let the original program for
the evening go along. The governor
has chosen the subject, Labor Legisla
ton" Mr.. Mitchell will conclude with
an address on the subject, THE Phi
losophy and Ideals of the Trade Union
Movement"
At the meeting Of the federation last
evening, delegates insisted that
trade unionist preside in the capacity
of chairman OF the meeting E. H
Gardner, secretary, was named for the
position. He may fill the bill or le
some other union man do it for him.
Mr. Mitchell arrives at noon tomor
row from Kansas City, and will stoI
at the New Harper.
