Defends The Press.

1t has been the unwise custom in ma
ny courts to disquahfy jurors from Sit
ting on case about which they have
read in newspapers. Judge David I'll.
Harris, of the 34th Missouri judicial cir
cult, takes a different view of the mat
ter.
His latest defense of the press occur
red in the case OF Mrs. Susan Ross, who
was charged with the murder of her hus-
band and sought to secure a change OF
venue, but which Judge Harris overrul J.
ed Newspaper articles were offered as
evidence TO show that they had preJu-
diced the people of the county so that
they could not with fairness serve as ia
rors. Judge Harris holds that man
who does not read the newspapers would
prove less capable juror than the one
who does. He said:
1T may be safely stated as a general
proposition that the time has come when
if man doesn't read the newspapers
his qualifications TO ST. as a juror 10 any
kind of case is seriously questioned.
The witnesses were practical y
agreed that, so far as they could judge.
the unfavorable opinions they had heard
expressed touching on the guilt of the
defendant were based upon newspaper
accounts or upon neighborhood rumor
and gossip and were not and could not
be changed by the evidence. And this
| brings US up to the crux of the whole
matter. Our Law provides that if ju-
ror has formed or expressed an opinion
as to the merits of the case, he is dis
qualified, but If such opinion is founded
only on newspaper repor or rumor he
is not disqualified.
The newspaper articles offered IN eV-
idence arc absolutely free from unfair,
infiam matory or prejudiced statements;
nor din any of the newspapers indulge
in any editorial comment The news
papers did nothing more than TO print
from time to time somewhat detailed
and circumstantIal but fair aud Impair
tial accounts of the various occurrences
Every newspaper worthy of the name is
expected TO do this, and it is expected
further that these papers will be read
by citizens generally, including possible
jurors.

Stop The Seed PeddIin9.

The peddling of garden seeds is small
business tor the statesman, says Farm
and Fireside. but we pay some 400 Con-
gressmen s., 500 year and mileage for
doing il. OF course they do other things,
but all the time spent in seed peddling
is paid for at the rate of $500 per
year.
As voters we ought-to be too econom-
ical to- hire seed distribution at that
price. When we plant our gardens we
spend some time on them. We pick out
the seeds carefully. II our Congressman
spends any time in studying our indi-
vidual needs, it must make the seeds
they send us very expensive indeed, if
we count only the Congressman's time,
to say nothing of what the Government
pays for the seeds IL he doesn't make
individual selection, but simply says 10
his clerk, well, you, may put in the
morning sending seeds to the grangers. :"
it's rather insulting to those who get
the seeds. Instead of personal attention
from his Representative in Congress the
farmer receives measiy little dole of
charity. Ii is as if every year the Con
gresham sent the farmers wife a CAT
leo apron. IL is exactly the same thing.
save that the apron would be a more
useful gift. In either case it would
seem rather insulting. Secretary Hous-
ton has recommended that seed ped
ding be stopped.

A Remarkable Demonstration
Says the Berea Citizen:

Says the Berea Citizen:
In 1910 there were, according TO the
United States census, ll52 illiterates in
Rowan county. Now there are twenty
three. These twenty-three are classified
as follows:
Too stubborn to learn. four; con-
firmed invalids or sick during campaign,
six; defective eyesight. six: idiots, five;
moved in during closing days of cam
paign. two.
This is the result of campaign
started by the county superintendent,
Mrs. Cora Wilson Stewart, two years
ago, TO wipe illiIeracy from the county.
Ii is the first practical demonstration OF
the ability of the people of political
unit TO educate all their people that has
been furnished by any portion of tbs
United States. No other county in all
America has such a record. 1t is de.
monsiralion of the eflciancy of the rural
schools when they are enlisted in a com,
mon cause. IL is also demonstration
of the ability of the mountain people tc
handle their own problems"
Ii is also a demonstration of the worth
to Kentucky of Mrs. Cora Wilson Stew

Congressman Helms Plan.

A Washington dispatch SAYS Repre-
sentative Harvey Helm has outlined to
the Committee of Insular Affairs, of
which he is a member, plan for the
government of the Philippine Islands, a
subject 10 which. he has devoted much
attention. He would have them organ
lied into Confederation similar to that
of the ID original colonies OF the United
States. This, he says would give them
a larger measure of autonomy and also
would pave the way for ultimate inde-
pendence by putting them more lergely
on their own resources. The veto pow
er, to be exercised oy the Governor Gen
eral, would protect the interests of the
United States, he says, until the confed.
