The Jury System

For many years this country has boasted of
it's jury system. by which the determination OF
defendants guilt or innocence is made by a
jury of supposedly impartial citizens, after listen
ing to the evidence, the jury being the sole judge
of the evidence, subject only to legal definitions
given by the court.
However, the miscarriages of justice have
been so fragrant and numerous in recent years
that there has recently developed sentiment in
favor of eliminating the jury almost entirely, and
allowing the trial of actions wholly by the court. 1t
has been found that one not trained in the art of
judicial reasoning is hardy fitted to decide between
two lines of conflicting testimony, and to the
testimony apply the law, which in many in
stances is very complex and difficult of correct
application.
Recently, in Iowa, the laws have been so
amended that the courts alone try and determine
causes affecting Juveniles adult denquents. and
majority of offenses involving domestic troubles.
The success of the law is described by j. e. Ham
mond. prominent member of the Civic Better
ment League of Iowa, who says
''In Iowa they have taken from their
juries consideration of the juvenile offenders,
parent deinquences divorce suits, abate
ment of liquor and vice nuisances desertion
of wives and families by husbands, inebriates,
removal of officers for neglect of duty or cor
ruption. and the farther we have gotten
from the jury system the tetter is the law
enforced"

slang, suggestive conversation and conduct, are
to be heard and seen no matter where one may
go, it appears that very few have had the courage
to call attention to one of the greatest, if not
indeed the greatest of all influences that make
for such state of affairs.
In these columns it ia possible only to mention
the subject in general terms, for proper treat
ment OF the question would involve the use of
language that would not look well in print, al
though we believe the ultimate welfare of the
people would be best served by an exposition of
facts so plain and palpable that no one could fail
to see the full significance of present conditions
and take steps to bring about changes radical
and soon.
1t has been said that woman is the noblest
product of Gods handiwork," and this was true
at the time the statement was made and it still
applies although the instances are becoming less
and less as the years pass by. Time was,
before the appearance of the new woman,
when most that was good, pure considerable, and
honest, expected to come from woman.
Standards of morality of christianity, including
the drinking of Intoxicating beverages and profan-
ity were supposed to be set by woman and it was
up to the male portion of the race to attempt as
best they could to live up to those standards To-
day it can not be denied that in many things the
sexes have almost changed places. the change
taking place within the last ten years Churches.
betterment clubs, city, state and national officers
are no longer concerned alone With caring for the
wayward and criminal among men, but an almost
equal amount of time and attention must be given
to women-to those who ought still to be the
guiding light for the race-to prevent and punish
evils and wrongs of almost every conceivable
kind attributable to their acts direct influence.
On the question of immortality, recent issue
of the journal published by the Betterment
League of Utah. contains paragraph that is short
but to the point, and so full of facts for think
ing people that its statements can not but meet
with absolute unqualified approval. ToIthose who
are interested in the subject. we would suggest
that it be read and re-read until the truths there
in charged are understood in all their fullness.
We quote from the above journal, as follows
Low cut dresses and bare bosoms on
virtuous women will never be reformative

women really desiring the reform o the
world, would cover their bodies as decently as
men do virtue would spring no like grass.

Oriuin of Knives,

The first knives, according to the con-
illusions of scientist who has made
study of the subject, were fractured
stones that happened to have a sharp
cutting edge. But the vegetable king
dom also furnishes very keen cutting
edges in the leaves and stalks of Ger.
tain plants, which might have been
availed of before artificial knives were
made. The fractured stone knife easily
suggested the shaping Of faxed stones,

Many coral reef islands in the Pa

perfect rings or ovals, inclosing la.
goons. The ring island of Ninafou
halfway between Fiji and Samoa, is
not a coral reef, but a volcanic ring
inclosing a crater containing lake two
miles in diameter. Toward the sea
the ring is bordered with walls of
black lava, and on the inner side these
break down in cliffs 200 to 300 feet in
height. An eruption in 1886 formed a

Perspective

SN'''
If jewellers on some other planet scan
This globe, with all its throngs in
seething strife,
What can the polished lens reveal of man
Or stress of human life?
The continents have shrunken to a span
The eye may rove the sea, but cannot
tell
If Mauretania's turbines churn its foam
Or Spanish caravel;
If Olafs serpent" long its trail of white
Cleaves, darting ford ward through the
Baltic spume,
Or fated navy of the Muscovite
Energies to her doom.
When earth CLOVIS bright as Marian sun
sets fade
From Marian telescopes alike are hid
Chicago's c0lumbaria of trade
And Cheops' pyramid.
But where the prairie acres westward
swell
From Mississippi to the mountains feet
A darkening line, each year, may vaguely
tell
OF quickening fields of wheat.
If these should fail, the crowded CITY
starves,
The galleons that sail the trackless
brine
Unburthened all, rust at their empty
wharves
But for that darkening line.
ust we from some remoter planet gaze
Before we recognize amidst the strife
OF living, meath its struggle in the haze,
The needful things of life?
