ARGUMENT WITH SENSE BEHIND IT.

Chicago woman jurist demands that women be
placed on juries, and makes the novel plea that in
cases where women are accused, men, through false
and foolish sentiment-or rather sentmentaty-
will not treat them as they would men in like cir
cumstances. Women can't be convicted of various
crimes by juries of men. There have been numerous
cases in proof of this in very recent time.
Therefore, it is insisted that women ought to sit
juries, certainly in such cases. because they will
not be swayed by the curious prejudices of over
drawn gallantry,
That is sensible, and manifestly we'll grounded
argument in favor of admission of to full
share in the responsibility of citizenship. The new
suffrage movement is strong just in proportion it
puts its in this way. The ballot ought not to be
given to women as pretty favor. If they get it,
they shoult get it with the understanding that it
means the imposition them of their share in the
governmental burden. 1t must be to them a solemn
duty and responsibility, not an amiable concession
Their case grows stronger as they demonstrate as
in this case that there good reasons to believe
their participation will bring better conditions.

less, then, can we in this age expect to know them
with accuracy.
But take the present. Mr.. Roosevelts teeth, the
Presidents smile, the Vice Presidents glasses, Mr.
Rockefeller's badness, the German Emperor
mustache, even La Follettes pompadour are known
the world over and for thousand years to come Will
be at the beck and call of any historian who has
curiosity concerning them. This is the result OF the
newspapers and photography. One can appreciate
how much these two institutions are doing for the
future when we realize that Philadelphia must now
flip coin to see on which side Of him old Peter

HISTORICAL PICTURES.

Philadelphia has in course of preparation great
and accurate historical pageant. And those plan
ming it are in difficulty over the question as to
whether Peter Stuyvesant, who has been dragged in
was minus his rgh, leg or his left, just how much
of the missing member failed, and just what kind Of
and how highly ornamented an artificial leg he wore
We think we know great deal about Roman life
because certain rooAess ruins have been left us in
Pompeii. One sees there wine shop, for instance,
a BAKERS elaborate villas like the House of Pansa
one gets glimpse of what Roman club vas prob
ably" like, of gladiators quarters, of the mechan-
ica devices by which supposedly oracular images of
the gods were worked. All this forms an admir-
able background for the pictures we can draw, with
the help of ancient literature of Roman life as it
really was. But how unlike that picture an actual
kodak photograph of a street in Rome even
Pompe itself would be- How much more valuable
to the antiquarian would be an elaborate collection
of such photographs than all the physical remnants
of the Roman world that have been preserved to us!
Peter Stuyvesant is much nearer us than is the
Roman era One would at least think we might
know him! But though Irving could work lot of
musty documents into fesh-and-blood picture of
the hot-headed old New Am3terdamer, can't even
say with assurance whether he had right leg or
left leg. Had a contemporary portrait of him bees
painted and preserved it would have been mere
chance. There not enough artists to paint
everybody that has crept into history, and even oil
the portraits that have come down to us probably
not one in twenty-five is a true resemblance.
In short, when it comes down to intimate mat
ters the historical novelist writing of events more
than century and half back has us at a hopeles:
disadvantage. Probably Alexander, Caesar, Charlie
magne, Charles V, Louis XIV, and Robespierre coult
none of them have been recognized in plain clothes
by tenth of per cent of their subjects. How much

The sneer at the men and women who have
joined in the forward movement for the rule of the
people and for human rights is characteristic of the
