NEWSPAPERS DO NOT
INFLUENCE JURYMeN
In Deciding a verdict-In Fact
They Qualify Him For
Service.

II has been the custom in our
courts to disqualify jurors from sit.
ting on case about which they
have read in newspapers. j..
Judge David II. Harris. of the
thirty-fourth Missouri judicial cir
cult, takes a different view of the
matter.
His latest defense of the press oc-
cured in the case of Mrs. Susan
Ross, charged with the murder OF
her husband. who sought to secure a
change OF venue, but which Judge
Harris overruled. Newspaper arti-
cles were offered as evidence to show
that they had prejudiced the people
of the county so that they could not
with fairness serve as jurors.
Judge Harris holds that a man
who does not read the newspapers
would prove less capable juror
than the one who does. 1T may be
safely stated as a general PROPOSE
tion," said Judge Harris, that the
time has come when, If man
doesn't read the newspapers, his
qualifications to sit as juror in any
kind of case are seriously ques-
toned. Continuing, he said:
The witnesses were practically
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
neigh borhood rumor and gossip and
were not and would not be changed
by the evidence, And this brings us
to the crux of the whole matter. Our
law provides that if juror has
formed or expressed an opinion as
to the merits OF the case, he is dis
qualified, but IL such opinion is.
founded only on newspaper reports
or rumor, he is not disqualified.
THE newspaper articles offered
in evidence are absolutely free from
unfair. inflammatOry or prejudiced
statements, nor did any of the news
papers indulge In any editorial COM
ment. The newspapers did nothing
more than to print from time to time
somewhat detailed and circumstan-
tial but fair and impartial accounts
of the various occurrences. Every
newspaper worthy of the name is ex-
pected to do this, and il is expected
further that these papers will be
read by citizens generally, including
possible Jurors.

COUNTIES OF STATE
NOT SELF-SUPPORTING

There are 1870 counties in the
State, eighty of which are pauper
counties.
In the First Congressional Dis
trict there are thirteen counties,
eleven of which are pauper counties.
A pauper county is one in which
expenses exceed the net revenues.
Hickman is net revenue-paying
county by only STA. and McCrack-
en- county by the nice sum of $751;
160.69. and these are the only
counties in this district that are not
on the pauper list.
The following counties are nom
revenue-paying counties by the fol-
lowing sums:
Ballard, by $3,456.12; Caldwell,
by $4.SS5.2O; Galloway. by SILL
6OO.04; Carlisle, by $91S.49; Crit
tenden. by $5,O26.17 Fulton, by
$773.74; Graves. by $6,113.14: Liv-
ingston, by s2,7Ss.29; Lyon. by ST.
407.4j; Marshall. by $9,943.SO;
Trigg, by $S,324.03.
II will be observed that Galloway
and Marshal counties drop into the
pauper class with a thud. Galloway
falls behind by 10000 and the
small county of Marshall by 49,
943.S0, and the little county of Ly-
on by $7,475.4j.
These figures are taken from the
Auditors report for the fiscal year
ending June 80, 1913, and the truth
is there is not a county in this dis
trict that should be in the pauper
list. much less by such large sums
as are named above.
II does look like if the business
OF these counties were conducted az
a good business man would conduct
his own business the counties would
not fall behind so much each year.

O PROGRESS IN THE USE O

o Q o o o o o o Q O O o o Q G

Can there be more satisfactory
testimony to the efficiency of a
scheme than the fact that 1t has
been adopted by the community in
which it originated and has been
in use so long that the people take
ii as a matter of course? This
thought occurred to me as stood
on the depot platform few days
ago and watched a town teamster
dragging the streets OF Maitland.
For fear you think may be feel
ing much exhilarated because of this
laudatory statement, let me hasten
to say that the good old proverb
touching on a prophets standing in
his own country still holds; for the
drag that watched was not built
precisely as / would have had 1t
built, nor is it used as would use
it. Yet it produces splendid effect
and the work is paid for by the city
council and has been so paid for
ten years or more.
This drag not only was built
wrong but the hitch was wrong and
the driver was not getting the best
results.
We boarded the train, my wife

about dozen miles we found our
selves moving parallel to a three
mile stretch of gumbo highway, ly-

tween Mound City and Bigelow. Mis-

the first piece of road ever dragged

mistake. The teams should have
been attached to the drag by a four
horse evener and should have been
driven by one man, instead of being
hitched by double-trees to each end
of the drag. | have not time to ar
que here, merely state a fact for
the benefit of your readers.
All along our way to st. Joseph
We saw roads that had been drag
ged. No trouble to tell the difference
