That One Of Jury Service for Instance
Has Little Effect in Campaign
Against Woman
Suffrage.
MEN OF STATE ORGANIZE
Clubs for Support Of Suffrage and fol-
Active Work In This Measure
Are Being
Formed.

The so-called arguments" against
woman suffrage speedily fall to pieces
under the light of careful examina-
ton So 1t is in the case Of the bug
aboo" that the ballot and jury box
must go together. This claim has
been put forth on numerous occasions
with little heed to the fact that It
smacks Of class legislation. The op-
position seemingly has neglected to
state that while many men are ex-
empted from jury service, they are
not denied the right Of suffrage, Elk
emption Of women from jury service
! for women voters would be just as
reasonable.
In the full suffrage states women
are required to do jury duty In only
one state, Kansas. In four states the
women are permitted to serve on
juries but are not called upon to do
SO. In Washington, they are eligible
for Jury service but may be excused
on request. Utah exempts women
from jury duty by special statute.
while in Arizona, Alaska, Colorado
and Montana the word male has
never been stricken from the list OF
qualifications for Jurors. In Kansas
+! the women defeated bill designed
to exempt them from jury duty, but
they may be excused, however, on
request. Women are eligible In Ne
vada but no woman has ever been
drawn. In California. Illinois, and
Oregon, 1t is decided that the women
are not eligible for jury duty.
| 1t will be seen from these facts
that the ballot and jury duty do not
20 together any more than voting and
fighting. There are millions of men
who cannot fight but they can vote.
There are thousands Of men who do
not serve on juries, but there is no
idea of taking the ballot away from
them. Why deny the ballot to women
because of any objection to their
serving on juries? Voting and jury
service are separate and distinc'
duties.

Pumps Eight Bullets
Into His Sweetheart,
but She Will Recover

With eight bullet wounds in her
arms, body and leg, Miss Violet Maui
gans, aged 16, of Edgemont, who was
shot last night by Elmer Deavens. of
Fishing Creek, is in the Harrisburg
Hospital, but will probably recover,
according to The physicians.
The man shot the girl, according to
the story she told her father this
morning, because she told Deavens
not to call again, as she had another
sweetheart. Her father said that
Deavens shot the girl once, and as she
fell to the ground fired the remaining
five shots in his 32-caliber revolver,
then reloaded and fired several more
bullets.
The girls father saw the shooting
and chased DeaVens, but the latter es-
capped over the hills near Edgemont.
County Detective Walters and other
officers in the city and county are on
the trail and railroad police are watch
ing all trains.
The girl has three bullet wounds in
the arm and the remaining five in her
body and leg. IT is not believed that
any vital organs have been injured.
