there is something radically

that justice is melted out in Geor-

Georgia with other States; also
compare>the record of the higher
courts of review, where by law
cases must be decided within a
limited time, with other States,
where 1t takes years, perhaps. for
a case to be reached in its 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
ly observed it.
AS whole, we should be proud
of our judicial system. There Is
little to complain about, and 1t il
far superior to others. It Is not
perfect, 1t can not be. AS point
ed out by Mr.. Atkinson, the law
jealousy guards the purity Of thu

to the defects OF human nature

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, de-
sire to make a 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
juror who would qualify on the
vo1r 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, If he be an honest man, and
yet does 1t not happen that men
of undisputed integrity do qualify
and whose impartially is often
questioned?
Referring to the Frank trial,
which provoked this discussion,
1t was freely predicted before the
trial that it would perhaps take
days to secure a jury, and doubt
was even expressed whether a
jury could be impaneled at all in
Fulton County to try the case.
But when 1t came to selecting
jury only a few hours were
consumed. This may have occa-
stoned some surprise to the lay
man, but to the practitioner 1t 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 jury often takes as long
as the main trial! In the Thaw
case, the Mcnamara ccses and
other noted cases of recent mem
ory it will be recalled that it took
weeks to select a 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 purpose, 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 1 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 page after page
in the papers for days about a

TIME Mothers and Teachers
Club OF Baxley, Ga, meets
to discuss subjects OF mu-
tual interest, and / am asked to
read a paper for discussion on
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 part OF the
social amusements of children,
Parents and teachers will be
benefited personally IL they ar
range their time IN such g 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
tally 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 are en-
couraged and taught.

1t is impossible to make much
progress going forward If you are
continually looking backward.
What some persons consider
the simple life looks to others
like unrestrained deviltry.
When brainy man marries .
brainy woman the intellectual
sparks generally fly.
A good many persons can never
discover the halo Of the self
made man.
Brevity often lends charm to an
opinion.

A Social Information
Bureau in the Home
Is Excellent.

There was once a home where
the host inaugurated such plan
for each member of the family.
He felt valuable time was wasted
st the dinner hour by idle talk.
SO he asked each member OF the
circle and each guest who re
manned for more than one repast,
TO consult his large and exhaust
i've library and bring some fact
to relate at dinner time; some
fact in history or science.
\ remarkable fund Of informa-
ton resulted,
The hostess propounded the
question at the next meal: Does
any one here know what is meant
by the scientific term THE
DRIFT?"
Atlanta Georgian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1912-1939, 1913-11-04

TO bring an item would not be an
unwise feature. Such fund (if
one resulted) should be given to
help the societies for kindness to
animals.
Fancy costume parties, where
the dresses are representative of
some period of history, are ad-
visable pleasures for children to
indulge in once a year The child
should take part in the study
which the planning of the cos
tune demands, and should be In
structed in the department and
mannerisIns of that period.
Music ought to enter into the
social pleasure of children.
If child has no musical talent
or taste, it should not waste time
in expensive study of that art;
but every child should have the
opportunity to hear good music,
and should be taught to listen to
it, and so form. taste and an
understanding which will prove of
value later in life. Q
These are but a few sugges-
tons; but those who have the
great privilege OF caring for chill
dren, as parents and teachers,
ought to be able to amplify them
and turn them to practical use.

Gijon, Spain, Feb. 27.--A pre- mature explosion here today kill ed two hundred spectators, who were watching government engi- neers send off a big charge of four tons of powder to blast a road around a hill.
 Many women and children were in the crowd and were killed, while more than a hundred are wounded and are being cared for at the hospital and at the church, which has been turned into a temporary hospital.
 The government immediately dispatched a special train with doctors and nurses and will care for the wounded. No reason can be assigned for the explosion, as all those near it and in any man. ner accountable were among the killed.

 The rotary has reached mile 92 according to the last reports, and was having much trouble with the ice on the tracks, which has to be picked from the road by muckers.
 Supt.

 The government appealed from this decision, which is a new point, as in the states all the roads and public carriers have been investigated by the Inter- state Commerce Commission and they have made rulings, but in Alaska the commission refused for many years to take any ac- ton, claiming that they had no jurisdiction until they were man. damused by the court and the commission must now take action on complaints against Alaska carriers.
