MALORITY YERnICTS.

From the Washington Post.
Mstrials in civil and criminal cases
would be far less frequent If a ma
iority of the jurors were permitted to
decide the issues instead of requiring
the twelve men to stand as a unit be-
fore returning a verdict
The same system which applies to
all other phases OF representative gov
crnmcnt, majority rule. might be ap-
piled with equal success TO jury trials
one stubborn man on a jury has fire.
quently caused endless hardship and
Inconvenience TO defendants presumed
under the law to be innocent. There
have been cases where at the first
trial eleven men favored acquittal
forcing a retrial. At the second trial
the defendant not infrequently has
been convicted.
The movement for majority verdicts
has been hanging fire for long time,
but il will be given considerable i'm
petus by the decision of the Supreme
Court that juries OF less than twelve
men when required by common law
and verdicts by less than the entire
jury when provided for by State law
dlt Ndllus
An attempt had been made by rail-
roads, sued for damages under the
Federal employers liability law, to
prove such jury and verdicts did not
meet the requirements of the seventh
amendment to the Federal Constitution
that cases at common law should be
tried by jury. The Supreme Court has
upheld the Minnesota statute permit
ting five-sixths of jury TO return a
verdict after being out twelve hours
and a Virginia statute authorizing
trials before seven jurors. lnciden-
tally. judgments awarded in Okla
homa and Kentucky where fractional
verdicts" by three-fourths of the jury
are authorized were also affirmed.
With the Supreme Court on record
as upholding the constitutionality OF
such a reform, there is every likeli-
hood that the other States will adopt
the majority verdict system.
THE REPUBLICAN PLATFORM.

EDITORIAL OPINION

declaration of principles unequivOcal-
ly and exclusively American In origin
and sentiment is beyond doubt. The
nation is not I'm a mood to subordinate
its interests to a vague and sentimen-
tai conception of i'll defined Obliga-
tions to humanity. nor would any
sane body OF citizens permit the pas
sions OF aliens and their native SYM
pathizers to tincture its declarations.
Furthermore, the convention will call
for adequate military and naval es-
tablishments. and for the adoption
OF a practical plan of national de-
fence; nor will it, in these particu-
lars. we feel sure, shrink from recOg-
nizing that citizenship, besides con-
ferring advantages on those who en-
JOY Il. imposes on them correspond
ing responsibilities.
In addition to this. the convention
must offer a feasible program for
the protection of American industry
and commerce. within the United
States and beyond its borders. The
exact method OF procedure by which
the nations OF Europe will endeavor
to rehabilitate themselves in manu-
features and trade when the oppor-
tunity is offered cannot be foretold.
But il is certain that the necessities
of their situation will compel a CO.
operation between Governments and
business which cannot be successfully
met in our domestic markets. TO say
nothing of the markets of the world.
without a similar cohesion OF effort
on our part. American traders and
manufacturers will be unable to stand
competition from abroad if they must
struggle at the same time against per-
secution at home. They. and the
thousands dependent on their success,
will require the cordial and sympa-
thetic assistance OF Federal and State
Governments 10 hold what they have
won and to extend the volume OF
their business.
Preparedness for the attack that
will be made after the war on Ameri-
can markets offers few chances for
picturesque endeavors. But it is as
essential as military preparedness. It
involves the well being OF every resi-
dent Of the country. II is essential
for the employer. imperative for the
emplOye; and no party can ignore
it. or consign the issue to adjustment
by the accidents Of time or the Incl
dence of fortuitous circumstances.
