REAL JURY REFORM WANTED

1t seems strange that those who are so
strongly in favor of e~nacting a jury reform
law at the present session of the legislature
should not insist upon getting what they want,
instead Of playing into the hands of those who
are utterly opposed to any change whatever.
All those who see the necessity of jury reform
and who have urged legislation to bring about
the change, either favor or have favored the
commission who shall draw juries being APP
pointed by supreme court justices.
This was President Wilson's original idea
1t was the idea Of leaders Of the Dem ~ocratic
party when the platform was drawn up; il
was the idea advanced at the beginning of the
legislative session and it was favored by act
ing Governor Fielder and is upheld by a great
majority OF the newspapers of the state. Yet,
instead of getting this kind of reform the best

DANCES AND LIQUOR

The number of public balls that have been
abandoned since it has been made impossible
to sell liquor in unlicensed dance halls, proves
that such "dances" were not intended to be
dances at all, but rather. a scheme to make
money through the illegal sale of liquor, the
dancing being merely a side issue to attract
business. 1t stands to reason that if the balls
were held solely for the pleasure there is in
dancing and the sale of drinks was merely
Incidental, there would be no thought of aban-
doning the evening enjoyment because liquor
cannot be Sold:

Skyline drive produced the same effect
