WOMEN TRY TO
DODGE JURY DUTY
IRtGFtGFGd Too Much With
Social Duties

Topeka, Kas., Dec. 16.-Tyelve of
the most prominent women of indie
pendence, Kas., subpoenaed to sit on u
jury, are up in arms because this ser
vice will interfere with their social
duties and preparations for Christ
mas.
Judge A. R. Clark, who submitted
the names for jury service, told the
ladies that they were native citizens
of Kansas, and that they must accept
and bear the burdens that go with cit
izenship Several members of the jul
ry are among the richest women in
the state, as they are leaders in So
ciety, women's federation work and in
the churches.
Mrs. A. c. Stuch, the forewoman, is
tn wife of an banker, reported to be
worth at least $1,OO0,O0O Mrs. George
T. Guernsey, Mrs. T. ]. Booth and Mrs.
Brown are among the best known wo-
men in Southern Kansas.
The rich society women who are
anxious to dodge jury service contend
that there are other women who
would be just as fair in rendering
verdict in any case and that these
need and would appreciate the pay
that goes with the job
From many sections come reports
that court officers are putting the
names of women into the jury wheel
to be drawn for jury service Neither
Judge Dana nor Judge Whiteomb, of
Topeka, has ordered names of women
to be put on the list for jury SER
/ vice.
Justice Clark announced that he Gin
tended to have woman jury in every
case in his court where the testimony
| is likely to be of an embarrassing ma
ture to female witnesses" He says
women have more time for jury duty
] than men.
Deputy Sheriff Edward Wadman re-
ported he had found it practically i'm
/ possible to serve subpoenaes on six
prominent women summoned as jurors
| in the case of Jim" Blue, soon to
be tried, charged with shooting up"
an inter-urban street car. In many
cases he said he was met at the door
by butler or maid with the informa-
ton that the mistress was "out of
town." while at the same time he
could see the absentee" at an up
stairs window laughing at him.
On his way to his office Justice
Clark saw one of the women on the
street. An hour later he received
telephone message that she was "out
of town." and could not serve. He re-
piled that "she had better be in town
tomorrow"

What Governor Wilson thinks Of the
spoils system, which the hungry horde
of Democratic office seekers want him
to support when he becomes president,
is clearly set forth in his political text
book, The State" Referring, on page
237, to the spells system in France, he
said
French administration in all its
branches, indeed, in all grades of its
service, from the lowest to the highest,
has suffered profound corruption
through the introduction of the fatal
idea that public Office may and should
be used as reward for party or per-
sonal service. Ministers have adopted,
all too readily, the damning practice Of
distributing Offices among their party
followers as pay for party activity, and
even among the friends and constitu-
ents of deputies, in exchange for sup
port in the chamber. And, of course,
when short of gifts to bestow, the tenn
ptation is to empty as many offices as
possible of opponents or luke-warm
