Jury Trials in Georgia

Editor The Georgian: Reply
ing to the suggestion contained in
your recent editorial relative to
jury trials, inviting subscribers to
a discussion of the subject, l de-
sire to make few comments.
Mr.. Atkinson, in his very able
and timely article, called atten-
ton to the few searching ques-
lions which are put to jurors in
felony cases. 1t would seem that
a juror who would qualify on the
voir dire Gas it is spoken of by
the profession) would be a fit
person in every respect to act in
that high capacity of deciding on
the liberty or life of his fellow
man, II he be an honest man, and
yet does it not happen that men
of undisputed integrity do qualify
and whose impartially is often
questioned?
Referring to the Frank trial,
which provoked this discussion,
it was freely predicted before the
trial that it would perhaps take
days to secure jury, and doubt
was even expressed whether
jury could be impaneled at all in
Fulton County to try the case.
RI
a jury only a few hours were
consumed. This may have occa-
stoned some surprise to the lay
man, but to the practitioner it is
only what might have been eX-
pected. Mr.. Atkinson in his ar
ticle published in full the ques-
tons put to the juror, except one
other, which is only asked in
capital cases and which is, Are
you conscientiously opposed to
capital punishment" These
questions are the only ones put
TO the juror TO test his fitness or
qualification.
How different from the rule in
other States, where the impanel-
ing of a jury often takes as long
as the main trial! In the Thaw
case. the Mcnamara ceses and
other noted cases of recent mem
ory 1t will be recalled that it took
weeks to select jury. TO us,
with our simple and easy method
of impaneling a jury, 1t would
seem that a system which allows
the examination of a juror for
hours or days would serve no
good purnoSe, and incur an eX-
pense altogether unreasonable.
But this brings US to the query
whether or not in our practice
and laws we have not gone to the
other extreme.
Would it not be wiser TO allow
a more liberal examination of a
juror to test his impartiality? Ask
him whether he h I read any ac-
count Of the crime, and if from
that he had formed an opinion;
whether he had talked to anyone
concerning the case and to whom.
and whether he had expressed
any opinion--and other questions
which would readily suggest
themselves to the practitioner.
1t is hardly conceivable that
anyone who reads pa ge after page
in the papers for days about a

case should not form an opinion
as to the guilt II innocence of the
accused, and yet such an opinion
does not disqualify from sitting
on the jury. Is it not also true
that such a person would be sub
consciously affected by his news
paper knowledge, and could he
dismiss from his mind all pre-
conceived opinions, acting solely
on the testimony admitted on the
trial? Hasn't it happened tina.

a case to be reached in It's order
Neither do our reviewing courts
reverse cases on technicalities
where substantial justice has
been done. This is the law, and
our courts of review have strict

As a whole, we should be proud
Of our judicial system. There is
little to complain about, and it is
far superior to others. 1t is not
perfect. It can not be. AS point
ed out by Mr.. Atkinson, tho law
jealousy guards the purity of the
jury in all its stages, and vha
fmperfections exist are due more
TO the defects OF human nature
than to weakness in our laws. If
is doubtful whether any change
would be advisable even in i'm
paneling a jury. This article is
written rather to call attention
to the simple, expeditions way
jury is selected in Georgia, com
pared with the cumbersome and
tedious process Of other States.

What Should Be the Social
Amusements Of our Children
From Ten TO Sixteen Years of
Age. and the Hours and Why?"
All kinds of outdoor games and
sports should form a part OF the
social amusements of children.
Parents and teachers will be
benefited personally If they ar
range their time in such a man
ner that they can study such
amusements and act as guides
and instructors for the children
intrusted to their care.
The tendency OF the time is
more and more toward outdoor
life: and this means increased vi
tality and more power, mental
and physical, for the race.
Horseback riding, basket ball,
tennis, golf, croQuet, water
sports. running races skating
all Of these amusements arc en-
couraged and taught.

Fancy costume parties, where

Punta Gorda should be the hnbi-

The latest from there is told in
literary style Of II column length
under Il Punta Gorda date line in

smashing beyond recognition of
the high cost of living by feeding
the masses on jewish liver. The
story of the landing of IL 263-pound
jewish is thrillingly told, but the
meat of it is in the liver, which it
is said weighed twenty-pounds.
and it fed multitude, all of whom
said it was great eIicacy. Jew
fish liver sells in Punta Gorda at
3 centsa pound hence the smash
ing of the heretofore high living
cost.

Hundreds of people in this vicin-

Dodson's Liver Tone is always
safe and has none of the bad after
effects which so often follow the use
of calomel. 1t is a pleasant-tasting
vegetable liquid that starts the liver
gently and surely and relieves con-
stipation and biliousness and causes
no restriction of habit or diet.
Many preparations have sprung up
that initiate the claims made for Dod-

sons Liver Tone is the tried and test
ed remedy that has proven such
good medicine and is so satisfactory
to every user-is the reason these
limitations are on the market.
Dodson's Liver Tone cannot hurt

is claimed for it the Seminole Phar-

A SPLENDID INSTITUTION
Florida State College for Women

We wish to call the attention OF
our readers to the advertisement,
in another column, of the Florida
State College for Women. The
remarkable growth of this institu'
ton has raised it to an enviable
position among southern colleges.
The enrolment for the year end
ing in June, 1918, reached 413.
The attractive features of Talla.
hassee as regards climate and
healthfulness are well known; but
a new infrmary, fully equipped
gymnasium, the services of a train
ed nurse in charge of the infrm-
airy, and the professional service
Of the College physician, all give
assurance that the health of the
students is a matter of care to the
authorities.
The advantages offered in the
way of instruction are unsurpass-
ed. Regular academic college
work leading to the Bachelors
degree, and special courses in Art,
Expression, Music, Home Econom-
les, and professional training for
teachers, including the Training
School and kindergarten, are Civ
en- by specialists. The School of
Music offers advantages unequal
ed elsewhere in the State, and in
only few places in the entire
South.
The moral tone of the Institu-
tion is high. The home life is
carefully looked after, and made
attractive, with q view of leading
the young women to devote them
selves happily to their college
work. The young women of Flor
ida are to be congratulated on hav-
ing within their own state col
lege offering the advantages the
Florida State College for Women
offers. That they appreciate these
seems to be shown
by the constantly increasing en-
rollment.
