representative citizens Of any county
does its best according to the dictates
Of its W conscious. There is usual
ly m or two members Of a jury who
express themselves too publicly and
succeed in gaining the attention of
other members and by the time the
evidence is all in he has enough with
him to carry the verdict according to
his way of thinking. The proper way
for any member of a jury to act, in
u mind, would be TO talk on every
other subject while in conversation
with any other member. but keep the
evidence always before the mind and
to tell your reasons for casting same
when the time ONE TO cast your vote
for or against, explaining the matter
as fully as you possibly can. IL you
ridicule the testimony Of one side and
praise that which is produced by the
other you are doing the county and
state an injustice and the responsible
ties are greater than you should want
to bear. II you see n point which has
been overlooked by your fellow jurors
the time to explain same is when you
are called upon to cast your vote.
Another thing you should keep IN
mind and that Is what effect your de"
cision will have upon the country and
community in which you live, provid-
ing other members should vote the
same as you. We have heard of mem
bers turning thieves loose because the
jury before did not do justice and al
lowed "A greater criminal to a
The actions of a court or jury should
not have any effect on you when you
are called upon to act in the capacity
Of juror.
We can remember how our parents
chastised US when We lied to them,
but when we came forward and con-
fessed our guilt they were more len.
lent with US. This same fact is shown
in the courts Of today when Il man is
convicted of some crime and is parol-
ed or the sentence suspended to give
him u chance to repent and turn
away from the broad path which is
so easily followed after once "A start
has been made.
At this time we will not attempt 20
say how this or that should have been
because we could be mistaken Just as
easily as some other people, but we
wish to see the laws enforced and no
country will rome unto its own and
build up until il does apply the law
and enforce il to the letter as nearly
as possible.

is practically a stranger to the pen
for a number Of years.
Judge Leib has established a preci-
dent in giving those who plead guilty
tn charges preferred against them, the
minimum sentence provided II Is their
first offence. This will encourage the
persons charged with crime to come
out and own up to their misdeeds, re-
pent of same and receive the lightest
sentence possible to impose. IL costs
lots Of money to prosecute any Grim
inal case where the man charged has
any money and friends with which to
put up n fight. We have known OF
bank cashiers and presidents getting
away with more than a hundred thous-
and dollars and then coming clear of
the charge aid the cases we're tried
before %juries. This happens every day
in all parts Of the world. The old say
ing that a mar who steals thousands
Of dollars and robs widows and or
phans Of their hardearned savings
is called a shrewd business man and
a gentleman has been demonstrated
many times to be true, while the poor
ignorant man who steals bread and
butter to feed his starving family, is
called u thief, thug or anarchist, and
sentenced to the pen for a number Of
years.
Laws are supposed to be just and
no one likes to see a friend sent to
the ~penitentiary, so as long as the law
is such and mean what it does we
must not expect to do things which il
says we must not do and expect to
get away with it all the time.

verdict to suit the majority but we

HELPS DESERT ENTRYMEN

During the last hours Of congress
a bill was passed that comes as well
coined news to desert land entrymen,
and partially dispells the old saying
that the government bet you $50
acres against every cent you have on
earth that you can't do anything with

which TO make final proof on their
claims or purchase them, or TO con-
vert desert claims TO homestead claims

ed by the president on March 4th and

entries before July /, 1914.

A remark the other day that the Of

A JURY's VERDICT

We have been requested to take is
sue with different happening of the
court which adjourned Tuesday.
In the beginning we wish to say that
the courts are not "a to suit US nor
any other individual but laws have
been put down to follow and while
it seem TO US that they are not al
ways followed TO the letter, that is
only an opinion Of one person and no
guarantee that same is right.
II the editor of this paper should
kill n nan rob a bank in any manner,
oil steal a calf or COW, he would no
doubt be like everybody else-try to
get out Of it and hire lawyers to help
plan his escape. This is only natural,
but rs We see il now we think the law
as it is written, should be applied to
all criminals and even in civil suits.

personal friends is no reason he should
be turned loose and send the man who

Supreme Court Decisions.

A number of decisions were handed
down, last week, by the Supreme Court
of this state, some of which were of in
terest to this county.
The Court held that if George Chase.
of Burlington, will accept 5000 for his
verdict of $1175 the judgment for the
lesser amount may stand in the suit be
brought against the Riverside Traction
Company; if not, there will be a new
trial. Alfred S. Chase, son, was in
jured by an electric wire.
A new and novel precedent was estab-
lished in relation to automobiles. In a
decision rendered by Justice Garrison ii
was established that an assault NAV be
committed with an automobile driven
along public street at an excessive rate
of speed that endangers the safety of the
persons and actually results in such an
injury. The decision of the Court was
returned in the application to set aside
the verdict of a Hudson county court in
finding Waller Schultz guilty of assault
and battery. The conviction was affirm
ed and a new trial denied.
Schultz ran down Thomas Mitchell
and it was claimed by his counsel that
there was no wilful wrongdoing and that
malice and wilful injury were the es.
sence of assault. Justice Garrison ad.
mitted that he had not been able to find
a decided case in which the assault was
committed with an automobile, com
paratively modern appliance. But, he
said, ''the principles involved are as old
as the criminal law itself -
1T requires neither argument nor il
lustration, y he continued, ito show thai
the excessive rate of speed at which an
automobile is driven is a product of the
will of its driver and not the result o.
his mere inattention or negligence

School Meeting.

William HI. Mason, district clerk, has
posted notices for the annual school
meeting, which will be held in the court
house Tuesday evening next, at 7.3O.
There will be four members of the Board
of Education to be elected, three for three
for three years and one for two wears.
William A. Slaughter was elected last
March for one year. George w. Durand
was elected for three years, but he re-
signed and Ross w. Quicksall was
chosen to fill the vacancy, The terms of
John NJ. Huff and William H. Mason,
who are filling out full term of three
years, have expired. All have signified
their intention of again being candi-
dates.
Affairs at the school are progressing in
a very satisfactory manner, and the
Board of Education now in charge OF
the work assigned to them appear to be
carrying out the wishes of the taxpayers
in a way as to make a change not really
necessary or desirable.
The amount to be asked for this wear
for the use of the school is SIS, 500. OF
which 81 800 is for repairs to buildings
and the balance for current expenses.

Prize Cattle Killed.

The line herd of prize cattle belonging
to Ephraim T. Gill, near Haddonfield
was killed by federal and state official,
on Saturday in an effort to stamp out
fresh outbreaks of the foot and mouth
disease. On Friday herd of 40 cattle
on a farm at Frankfort, Pa, met o
similar fate.
The herd of Mr.. Gill, comprising 142
animals, of which IS were pure bred
Guernseys, most Of which have figured
Prominently at the leading cattle shows
and captured numerous prizes, became
infected about IL days before. Every
effort to cOntine the disease to few Of
the animals failed, and, though the ne
cessity was deeply regretted by the Gov
eminent officials who placed the estate
under strict quarantine, the whole herd
was ordered to be killed. Federal vet
erinarian and inspectors, headed by DR..
Charles F. Schaufier, chief of the Bureau
OF Animal Industry, shot the animals.
using heavy calibre magazine rifles.
This was done after the cattle had been
driven into bitches Z feet wide by 7 feet
deep. Then the carcasses were sprinkled
The principal animal of the herd was
the famous 16-year-old prize bull Glen
woods Main Stay, the value of which
cannot be ascertaiDed, as Mr.. Gill in the
past has refused to consider even the
most tempting offers to SELL The sum
of $4,000 is thought to have been the
value of the bull. Mr.. Gill will erect a
monumental memory of this aristocratic
animal. Other famous animals include
the prize COW Elbrons Glenwood, of
Haddon, holder of records for milk and
butter production; the two fine prize
bulls Glenwoods Royal and Glenwoods
Main Stay, 38d, as well as many more.
The entire herd was bred by Mr.. Gill,
who many years ago imported a few
pure-bred animals from the Isle of Guern-
sey, from which the present stock is
directly descended Breeding expert
ments resulted in the raising of "a distinct
stock, which eventually has become
famed and known as the Glenwoods.
