DEMAND FOR JURY REFORM

The state convention called in Ohio
to draft a new constitution has passed
among other things favorably upon
the proposition to have less than
unanimous verdict of civil case
jury to determine the issue. No ac-
ton yet taken by that body developed
such a determined opposition. Emil
nent lawyers We're ranking with the
opposition and were free to call the
action taken Revolutionary"
In the New York constitutional con-
vention of 1904 there was such an at
tack upon the jury system. But Hon
orable Elihu Root in his defense of
the system made the address that
contributed the most to the defeat
of the attack. He said, in defense OF
the system, 1T mitigates the severe
logic of law and makes its admins
tration tolerable. I believe it reach
es correct results in fact and in rea-
son, though not always by logic, and
| believe further that the very essen
tial feature of this system is the re-
quirement of unanimity." To permit
less than the entire body of a jury to
render a verdict wauld, he said. be
nothing short of revolution"
But the American jury system has
not justified the high appreciation
that was voiced for it by Elhu Root.
1t has rather fallen in less repute
AS matter of fact, litigants of late.
in order to escape the delays and per-
versions of Justice caused by the de-
mand for unanimity in verdicts of
civil juries. by preference have been
entrusting their causes to judges or
to masters. This practice is growing
and with that growth emphasizing
the fact that the jury system is los
ing prestige.
One reason for the change, no
doubt. is the increasing light shed
upon the happenings of the jury room
and the methods by which "unanl-
nous verdicts are brought to pass
or blocked. The romantic ideal OF
justice is shattered under the lime
light exposures. The plain practical
common sense of the Anglo-Saxon
race which Mr.. Root contende ed
would always insist upon unanimi:y
of verdict, whatever "theroists' might
plausibly say against it, is not proving
as tenacious as he thought it would
always remain.
Ohio is not alone in the proposition
to get away from the evils that have
developed under the unanimous ver-
diet system. California has had the
three-auarters verdict for civil cases
in practice for some years without en-
countering any of the evils that made

ALABAMA AND
r1R. UNDERWOOD

But the present leader of the House
is not impulsive. In truth, that fact
explains his leadership. He is a man
of calculation. Had he not been, he
could never have piloted his party
through the difficulties of the extra ses-
sion. His task then called for a calm
vision and single purpose. Had he
been a spellbnder and scatterer he
would have wasted his opportunity.
Were Mr.. Underwood to set his heart
on the White House and maneuver for
a stay under that famous roof he would
play hobs with all the reputation he has
just acquired. His vision would be-
come confused, and everything would go
by the board. He could not serve two
masters, and his work in the House has
the first and highest claim on his at
tention.
This does not mean that Mr.. Under
woods name will, as the result of his
reply to his House colleagues, disap-
pear from the Presidential speculation.
Of course, it will not. 1t is there to
stay, with the other names now on
many pens and tongues. The matter of
the nominee is in the lap of fate, and
we shall all have to wait for the deci-
sion.-The Washington Sunday Star,

UNDERWOOD OVER AGAIN

The rapid rise of Oscar w. Under
wood in the discussion of Presidential
possibilities is full of significance, and
may we'll cause CONSERVATION in the
Wilson, Clark and Harmon camps. AS
a distinctive Southerner, his boom espe-
cially is a menace to Wilson, who ap-
pealed strongly to the sentiment of that
section, in which he was born and spent
his early years. In the soundness of
his Democracy, the statesmanlike judg-
ment and moderation he displays in
dealing with the issues of the hour,
Mr.. Underwood has no superior among
his rivals. He avoids indorsing very
questionable issues to which Wilson
committed himself somewhat inconti-
nently.-The Troy Press, New York

far as to say that if the South will keep
