PERILS OF JURY SERVICE.

The inconveniences, and at times the
hardships, Of jury service have been
generally recognized; men are glad to
escape from the tolls and exactions in
volved in that service. And again, in
case a juror is found to be the obsti-
nate twelfth man, what roasting he
gets from the general public for his
obstinacy and lack of Judgment, and
tho suspicion that Inevitably attaches
to him, that he is using his position
corruptIv as a Juror Therefore. men
are glad to escape jury service. and in
some States, Utah for example, where
women vote the women are excused al
together from that service, This is con-
sidered 10 be exactly the right thing,
FOR women s duties in tho household are
often Of such nature that jury duty
would be quite impossible for them,
and the inconvenience OF the process
that would bring them before n Judge
to explain why they could not serve as
Jurors would involve such hardship or
dclicacy as to offend; SO public opinion
is bound TO uphold the wisdom of the
general excusing OF women from iurv
service.
But in other States II appears that
jury service is imposed upon women
upon tho extension Of the franchise to
them. We consider that to be unwise,
and to add largely TO the hardship of
jury service; for If men find Jury ser
vice irksome, women would certainly
find it doubly irksome, and there are
points about it that develop from time
to time showing wholly unexpected
complications. Thus report from
Oregon is that woman Juror at Aber-

would change his opinion and vote her

expressed the desire that the Senate
should take few weeks rest after its
four months tusslc with the tariff bin:
but President Wilson would not allow
this; he has determined. it is said, 10
continue his insistencc that the cur.
rency bill be disposed OF as soon as
possible. - In accordance with this in.
sistonco of the President, Senator
Owen polled the Senate, undoubtedly
conveying tho President s desire to the
Democratic Senators, and this poll
showed practical unanimity among them
in favor Of going ahead on the currency
bin with all possible speed.
But Senator Bacon s idea Of taking
a rest was entirely proper; for the Sen
ators have had a long, tedious session,
and it is reasonable to suppose that it

ate s amendments to the tariff bill and
its consideration Of the currency bill.
In this interval the Senate might very
well be in practical recess without any
great disadvantage,
But the President won't allow it,
and there you are. The Congress Of the
United States Is placed in n subscrvi-
cnce to the chief executive that it took
the British Parliament centuries to
throw off. And this has come all at
once, so suddenly that all concerned
have lost their breath, and appear ut
terly unable to protest against it, We
have, in fact, now a Congress that is
more under the thumb of the President
than the British Parliament has been
under the thumb Of the King of Eng
land for five hundred years. And We
have taken that drop back into mcdiev-
alism in six months!

AGRICULTURAL ADVISERS.

conservation Of water on the farms in
that State, which, we take it, is merely
a preliminary suggestion toward adding
an irrigation system to be used at need

what they call County advisers" A
Topeka official styles this ga new pro-
fession.' Tt is presumed to offer a
calling to "country ladsn who now 90

at pay that rarely reaches a reasonable
figure.
These county advisers are graduates
of the Agricultural College OF the State.
They go into the counties, give the
farmers counsel in ploughing, seeding,
and maintaining the fertility Of the
soil. Some Illinois counties have en-
ployed such advisers at 4 salary of
$4,000. These advisers can analyze the
soil. can give good practical advice as
to seeding, as to stock-raising and as
10 the various farming operations Of
every kind. As an inducement for the
employment of graduates Of the Agri-
cultural College for such county advis-
ers. it is stated that such advisers when
crowded with his work can get help
and advice from the Agricultural Col
lege, or, where the Agricultural College
and the University are united, the
whole University forces are at the ad-
viser's disposal for the purpose Of help

The idea is an excellent one. and we
commend it as just as serviceable in
Utah as anywhere else, There cannot
be any doubt that the farmers of the
different counties would find it would
pay them handsomely TO employ such
advisers for their farms. And undoubt.
edly the advice and expert aid that
such advisers could render would be of
such Importance that the salary paid
therefor would be mere trihe by com

THE BULGARIAN PLIGHT.

There Is not much news coming from
the Balkans in these piping times Of

Turks are making 1T very uncomforta-

Bulgarians have wholly spent their

Turkey, and last in the war against
their former allies, Greece and Ser

Turks. From fugitives the Turks have

GREAT MARKSBdANSHIP

Tho reports about the artillery prac-
tice at New London, Connecticut, are
exceedingly gratifying to American
pride and as assuring American safety.
According to reports, the marksmen
showed astonishing proficiency. They
accomplished the feat of destroying the
leading target, II feet by II feet. -four
miles away, with the first shot
target 10 feet by IL, four miles away,
is small object to fire at; and when
artillerymen can demolish n small
target like that at the first shot dis
tance of four miles, what chance would
battleship have, which would pre-
sent a target many times that slze7
II target 12 feet by IL can be de-
stroyed ut the first shot, a battleship
ought to be hit every time at twice
that distance. Another showed that
at the fourth shot the rear target, "a
feet by 10, was blown to pieces.
This is astonishing artillery practice,
and the authorities are fully justified
in feeling that the practice shooting
was an immense success, and that the
100000 that the ammunition cost was
money we'll spent. And surely it was.
The best spent money that can be used
by the naval and military service of
the United States is in target prac-
tice, especially when that practice
leads up to results such as are de-
scribed, and to such records as have
been made by the United States bat
tleships in recent years, A compare
lively few thousand dollars spent in
target practice will make the battle
practice Of so much greater destructive
ness that there is no comparison be-
tween it and poor shooting; nothing
to say for slack shooting as contrasted
with shooting Of precision Every
shot that is wasted in war is double
waste Tt is not only futile effort on
our own part, but it gives the enemy
an opportunity to do effective work
against us. A shot from an American
not only an effective shot, but it is a
protective shot. The destruction Of an
enemy's vessel is an immense gain in
battle. But shot that does not de-
stroy, leaves the enemy in the fight,
and free to destroy u.s.
Effective target practice is. there
fore, tho very best practice that we
can have, both for the coast artillery
and for the fighting ships of the navy.
The mortar practice also, which is
usually difficult to get exact, shows
astonishingly accurate firing. Thus, the
twelve-inch mortars that guard Long
Island Sound showed with twenty
shots Of 100o-pound proiectiles a clean
score-all hit the mark Besides. ac.
curate mortar shooting would un.
doubtedly be more destructive to at.
tacking battleships than even the more
direct fire by cannon, for the mortar
projectiles 90 high in the air and drop
upon the deck, which is the most
vulnerable part of vessel The sides
are protected by armor, but the decks
cannot be so protected; and so. perfect
scores in mortar shooting mean that
attacking ships will surely be destroyed
Therefore. the people of the United
States have every reason to be proud
of the mortar practice developed, and
to feel confident in the security of its

way. This, Of course, is not supposed
to be common thing at ALL but it
opens up vast possibilities in tho di-
rection Of the Joint service Of men and
women upon juries. When men and
women are locked up together as
jurors, there is no chance for the man
to run, and the woman can propose TO
him il she wants to; she can offer mar
rage as an ipducement for him TO
change his vote 10 her side, as the Ore

possibilities are thus introduced into
