Other foreign affairs calling for
mention are numerous. A check has
been administered to Irish home rule
by the threat of the house of lords
to go on strike and refuse either to
pass or reject the bill granting self
government to Ireland. If repected,
the bill would become law when
passed for a third time by the house
of commons but if the peers adjourn
without taking action, the govern
ment is powerless to act, and the
whole drama of independence will
have to be staged anew. Germany,
recovering somewhat from the finan-
cial stringency, is again busy with
plans for effecting the army increase
decided upon. To provide the neces-
sary funds, $250,000,000, change
has been made in the tax bill, the
income minimum being reduced from
$4,000 to $1,250. Japan, abandon
ing all thought of a war in the in
terests of fraction of her subjects
in California, is turning her attention
to internal Improvements, and plans

extensive harbor improvements call.

Russia has been making strides il

If the twentieth century is to be
distinguished chiefly as that mark
ing the complete emancipation of
woman, more than passing mention
will be bestowed upon San Francis
cos experiment with jury composed
of women sitting in judgment on one
of their own sex charged with fell
ony. A feature of the incident was
the fact that the jury was not a
product of specific enactment for that
purpose, but the legal result of wom-
ans amended status, and the express
wish of the accused. This desire was
also notable because of the peculiar
nature of the evidence in the posses
sion of the prosecution. 1t was
known that accused had written
letter making what was alleged to be
an extortionate demand. She was
prepared to confess having sent the
document, but wanted to rely on
proving that she had no evil motive.
Under these circumstances what
could have been the reason for pre-
ferring a jury of women? Was it
the probability that men would be
more influenced by the damaging evil
dence than by the testimony as to
character? Was it the expectation
that women could be induced to look
at the whole situation from differ
ent angle? Whatever the reasoning,
accused was justified by the verdict,
which was one of acquittal.

Interest in the McNab affair was
stimulated by the action of Judge
Van Fleet in requesting the United
States grand jury to excise from its
report a number of reflections upon
the president and those members Of
his administration responsible for at
tempting to delay the course of JUS
tice in behalf of wealthy and influen-
tial persons accused of serious crimes.
The judge made it case of "lese
majestic" but the jury succeeded in
obtaining the widest publicity for its
opinions. Though the motive of the
Judge was doubtless a desire for reg
ularity, his action only served to en-
phasize the offense of which the ad-
ministration was guilty.

Another innovation growing out of
the woman movement is the decision
of the Chicago Board of Education
to have sex hygiene regular subject
for instruction in public schools.
Ella Flagg Young is responsible for
this experiment, which, whatever may
be its value, marks a radical change
in the popular conception of educa-

The details as thus summarized
may seem trivial on the surface, but
analyzed they show the exceptional
and far-reaching Importance of this
legal departure. They attest the fact
that if women juries are to become
a regular part of our judicial ma
chinery the whole psychology of pros
ecution and defense must undergo a
radical alteration The jury may
have been right or wrong in it's ver-
dict, but, since it was arrived at by
what might be termed extra-judicial
processes, the experiment may be the
signal for a complete revolution in
legal procedure.

This course will not be welcomed in
many quarters actively supporting

that those responsible for starting the

halt.

History in the Making

tion-almost as great as that which
occurred when religion was taken out
of the school curriculum. 1t implies
that a responsibility which for cen
turtles has rested with parents is to
be assumed by school teacher. A
few years ago books and pamphlets
dealing with the question were sup
pressed in various countries, but
such is the greater prominence given
to sex as a result of the woman
movement it is now considered a fit
and necessary course in education.

1t was early discovered that the
Filipinos would have to be renovated
physically if they were to accomplish
mental tasks. Consumption has for
centuries claimed an appalling per-
centage of the population, and it
would have been unwise to pen up
the offspring of such a race in school
buildings, Accordingly the outdoor
method was adopted and this led
naturally to athletics. The native
took to sports with avidity, and the
results, as noted by two Independent
investigators whose reports have been
made available, are: The physical
development of the younger genera
tion, the creation of a spirit of
democracy, a better understanding
between Americans and Filipinos,
and the pursuit of studies with more
relish. To those who believe that
order must precede independence in
the Philippines, and that the natives
must be trained to self-government
before it can be granted to them, the
remarkable results of education per
medium of supervised athletics must
make strong appeal.

The age of woman, it is still an
age of education, out of which the
woman movement arose. A striking
evidence of this is seen in the Philip
pines, where wonders have been
wrought by the American school sys-
TEN, and, strangely enough, very
largely through training in athletics.
In place of the practice in the United
States by which in the matter OF
sport a few men go periodically into
training and the vast army of specta-
tors into hysteria, group games have
been introduced and it is made prac-
ticable for from 80 to 80 per cent
of the pupils to participate success
fully.

Considerable alarm was occasioned
by the failure of the First-Second
National Bank of Pittsburg, but the
fact that it has not been followed by
the collapse of other banking institu-
tions is proof of defective methods
employed by the particular bank and
not of any general unsoundness in
the financial affairs of the country.

War was supremely foolish solu-
ton of the problem, not only because
it Immediately resulted in greater
slaughter among the former cooper
ators than they suffered in the wor-
their purpose OF curbing the Turk
but because Turkey did at once the
perfectly natural thing by claiming
all the territory she had lost. 1t was
this more than the appalling losses
which induced Bulgaria to appeal to
the powers to end the strife. The
more powerful force, Bulgaria, COM
PEELED Greece to side with Servia and
to make Turkey offer similar assist
ance. With the wisdom of centuries
of battle the sultan's advisers urged
an alliance with Servia solely for the
purpose of crushing their most for
midable opponent. That the Serbs
did not accept the offer argues a
shrewd perception of it's motive. At
latest it appears as though the
breach will be healed. Bulgaria is
actively suing for peace, and, though
it is the alternative to defeat at the
hands of Servians, Greeks and Rou-
manians in a formidable combination,
the plea should prove acceptable to
all sides, weakened as they are by
heavy losses of men and money.

Labor conditions in our own coun-

despite the fact that the Pacific Gas

to losses from guerilla raids by dyna-

the Order of Railway Conductors and
the Brotherhood of Trainmen have
declared for a strike. In refusing
the demand for more wages the rail-
roads are pleading that recent regu-
lations of rates have made it impossi-
BILE to pay more for services without
going into bankruptcy. They claim
that they are being ground between
the upper milestone of the Interstate
Commerce Commission and the meth
er stone of increasing labor demands.

The Interstate Commerce Commits
sion has delivered a scathing rebuke
to the New York, New Haven &
Hartford railroad for its alleged loose
method of conducting business, but
the remarkable feature of it's report
was the complaint, not against mo-
nopoly by the railroad, but against
conditions which might give rise to
one in the future. A recommends
ton was made that the company di.
vest itself of it's trolley lines because
they might be used subsequently as
a means of preventing competition
This view amounts to a decision that
interstate railroads should not b'
permitted to own trolley lines.

to social diversion and more to the

that in this hurried. restless life of
