The Jury

Again wonder why juries Last week woman was acquitted at Clifton of the murder of her father. The circumstances related briefly these: This woman, who was married or had been married visiting the home of her father. He had remonstrated with her upon practice of remaining on the street late hours, such remonstrance as any father who cared for the good name of daughter might offer One night she returned late with another woman, the companion of previous nightly excursions, and again the father chided her. The shooting followed.
 At the trial the plea of self defense offered, and stick introduced as a weapon which the father was holding in his hand the time of the shooting. This stick had figured in the story of the crime all though it had been told in the minutest detail. But the stick so impressed the jury that it disregarded the fact that the man had been shot in the back; and returned verdict of not guilty.
 One juryman. with either more sense than the other eleven or with greater regard his oath, believed that crime had been committed and voted for verdict of murder the first degree. Unwl- ing to put the county to the expense of trial, he yielded at last and joined in the verdict.
 It will perhaps be long time before abolish the jury system in this country. where there never really any reason for introducing it. It had it's place in the early days of English freedom We are getting rid. however, of the grand jury which once held to be sacred institution, in time may progress far discard the trial jury
 The Clifton is an isolated one It is one of many of SC many in fact that the entire system has been brought into disrepute. It is ful whether in any judge trained in the weighing of evidence and with responsibility fully centered upon him would in all cases better measure justice than any twelve untrained and with their responsibility divided that it sits lightly upon each

WHAT IS AN INCH OF RAIN

The weekly news letter of the department of agriculture that every daily weather bull letin chart the amount of rainfall at various places during the preceding "A hours is printed in inches and hundredths of inches. In general way the public understands that rainfall of two inches in one day is heavy, and that onetenth of an inch is light, but attempt is made to associate the linear measurement of the water with it's equivalent in weight or bulk. This is necessary for proper understanding of the actual quantitative of value of the rain, and the few figures following may prove of assistance in making calculations: An acre of ground contains 43.560 square feet Conse- quenty rainfall of inch one acre of ground would mean total of 43,560x144 6,272.- $40 cubic inches of This is equivalent to 3.53o cubic feet As cubic foot of pure water weighs about 62.4 pounds, the exact amount varying slightly with the density, it follows that weight of a uniform coating of inch of rain over one inch of surface would be 3,630x624 226512 pounds or ll3 1-4 short tons. The weight of one United States gallon of pure water is 8.345 pounds. Con- sequently rainfall of inch over one acre of ground would mean 27,143 gallons of water on the acrc.-Riversde Press.

Mosquitoes and Grafters

Graft and inefficiency go together. Rather, in efficiency goes before; graft follows immediately after. By ineffciency we do not mean nefficiency of men. but methods. Grafters apt be very efficient Some of them would be good public ser wants left lying around for them to stumble For that obstruction the people to blame
 We have at hand little leafet. issued by the Bureau of Municipal Research of New York dealing with the subjects of mosquitoes and grafters which more nearly related than would at first sus- pect. Both pests may be easily controlled if go about it in the right way. Both have breeding places which are easily discoverabe, and when have ceansed those places we have destroyed the larvae of the mosquitoes and the grafters. Mos quitoes breed only in stagnant water Grafters breed in stagnant public opinion called apathy. One way of extermnating mosquitoes is to apply scen tific methods their breeding places, and way, and the best, to exterminate grafters is install scientific methods which will abolish their breed ing places
 The illustration is carried further: for instance mosquito bars do not exterminate mosquitoes They merely show that mosquitoes are at large and multiplying. Grafters through jail bars only show that they have lately been large Both bars symptoms of the existence of the pests. We get rid of neither of them by means of bars mosquitoes cannot hurt us, and the grafters which they are few compared with the great number of grafters who not behind jail bars and who are coming life in the breeding places of nefficency.
