THE INJURED TWELVE.

Gentlemen Of the jury" said the
court, until you have rendered q
verdict in this case you will be Kept
in close confinement" Then followed
other announcements and 1nstruc-
tons. The jurors were forbidden to
discuss the case among themselves or
to speak of the testimony to which
they had listened all day. They were
to be perfectly free to write letters to
their families, but would not be al
lowed to receive letters except under
censorship of the court.
1t was to be a very interesting
case, involving to some extent a prom
inent mans reputation and an out
spoken mans money. In fact. it sim
mers down to a question Of the own
ership of $4,000. The parties to it
are able to await its outcome with
equanimjty.. in the meantime receiv-
deal Of publicity and the JOY Of con-
test. Neither life nor liberty Is at
stake. Nobody is going to be hanged
as a result of the trial and nobody is
going to jail. The only sufferers in
the vital respect of freedom to pur-
sue happiness are the Jurors.
Jury service is a duty upon the cit
lien by law. 1t is not necessary that
he enjoy it. This despite the fact that
occasionally men fail to intercept 1t.
But it seems queer that the law which
takes such pains to secure their full
rights to accused OF contentious cit
liens should search out citizens Of the
most innocent sort and force them,
theoretically at least, into a position
where it can and does deny them the
most rudimentary rights. s
Among the many things which, as
everybody knows. are the matter with
the jury system, of the biggest is
that the Juror seems to have no
rights which the court is bound to
respect. AS we were lately reminded.
the jury ofttimes is not even allowed;
to decide the verdict. That the. de.
fects of the system might largely dis
appear with the adoption Of more
c%onsiderate treatment for jurors we
are admonished by the plight Of the
twelve good but unlucky men who, of
all the participants in the exciting af-
fair are alone denied the enjoyment
Of the bully Marquette affair.

ORNAMENTAL LIGHTS NOT

In the matter Of placing ornamental
lights on Main Street the Administra-
tive Board acted exactly as the ldeai
hoard should act. The members gave
a brilliant example of the service they
can render the people Of Richmono'

the principles on which the new form
, Of government is based. One MEMBER

Of residents and landowners of power

not the influence of the petitioners, or
the lea of the member advocating
the measure, but the good that wouiu

penditure OF $4,000 for ornamental
lights. It was decided that the outlay
was unnecessary and would not bring
any results to the whole community at

Four members voted against the pro-
posal.
This careful Judgment of measures
as to their meaning to the entire city

the board. 1t should be impartial
and non-sectional. and protect all

certain dissatisfaction among those
whose pet projects are defeated But

fact will mean the end of ward favorit-
ism. and the beginning of an era of CO.

The specific plan TO put nights on
Main Street and some of the important
downtown cross streets is wrong for
two reasons. The lights are not needed
and other things are very greatly need

.zoNE AMERICANS"
avoided

| History will probably record that
the physical cutting OF the Panama
Canal exerted no more potent lnnu-
ence upon American civilization than
did the splendid organization and
methods of its builders. The model
set in the zone of a cooperative and
governmeutaIly-c community
must have profound effect upon our
ideals of social Structures So pro-
nounced has been the influence of this
experiment in community economies
on the character of those subjected to
its sway that, as the Christian Herald
points out. a new kind of American
has been developed. He is thus ana
lyzed;
One of the effects of the life OF the
American people on the lstNmus mas
been the development of a new type.
the Zone American" First. this type
Will be identified by it's sterling moral
character. then by its independence,
greater even than the independence
of the average American. The melt
ing together of different standards OF
life has taught many of the Zone Amer
lean families that the fine art of liv-
ing is TO be found in the home ana IN
the family circle. rather than III the
false life that seems so attractive IN
the great American cities back home.
If the Zone American" is really OF
this high type and brings back TO his
country this noble gift of character
and broad. strong outlook, he VIII be
the paradox OF a missionary coming
from a foreign land to his own with
new message. He will have Ideals
of social life that are sadly needed In
a time of slipshod haste, when the
family is being broken UP by the pres
sure of economic necessity and the
pursuit of exotic pleasures The re-
suits of benehcent paternalism forced
on the individual will teach him how
TO seize on the fundamental principles
OF a natural paternalism that protects
and stimulates without sitting.
