TENDENCY TO RELY
 ON JURORS HONOR
Federal Courts Setting Strong EXample-Case to Supreme Court Because Attorney Give Juror Cigar and Cold Drink.

There is a tendency on the part or courts to rely more and more upon the honor of jurors, and not to treat them so much like the criminals whom they are called upon to try. The federal courts are setting strong example in this respect, for they do not shut up jurors at night, keeping them from all com munication with the outside for fear of contamination. They are permit ted to separate, with the admonition that they are not to discuss the case with any one, and that is all.
 Last week the Arkansas Supreme Court passed on case that had been appealed because, for one alleged error, the attorney for the plaintiff had given one of the jurors cigar, and that another attorney in the case was present when a juror was given cold drink. Counsel for the other side held that this was a contamina- tion of the jurors to such an extent that a new trial should be granted. The attorney who gave the juror cigar testified that he did so "as an act of courtesy, as he had frequently done before, and that he had no thought of influencing the verdict, and did not think his conduct was so understood by the juror"
 It was shown that the jurors were men of standing in the community and they stated their verdict was in no wise affected by what had oc- cured.
 While the court did not say, as it might well have said, that a juror who could be bought with a cigar or drink of soda-pop is not worthy to be a citizen of the Union, it did enun- ciate the following most sensible doc | Urine:
 While it cannot be too strongly | insisted that the stream of justice shall be kept pure-so pure as to afford no suspicion of corrupt or 1 improper intermingling of any for I eign or hurtful matter, yet it must not be forgotten that no mere irregu- l larities of behavior in this day of greater and wiser freedom for jur- ors. at least in civil trials, will be per- mitted to disturb the stability of ju- dicial proceedings"
