sportsmen here are wont
To pull in athletics, we'd be shock
ed-but then, we don't.
Once upon a time there was an
Englishman landed in New York.
Any two-day-old baby in the slums
had forgotten more about American
sports than this "by-jover" ever
knew.
In the course of a week he had
witnessed the art of baseball, tennis,
golf, billiards, bowling and so forth.
And this is what took place,
thanks to a wonderful imagination:
At the baseball game: A spectator
shouted, ''Hurrah. he stole three
sacks" The Englishman wanted to
know, sacks of what-and why
doesn't some one call bobby"
Note: A bobby in England is a
policeman in America.
At the golf course: The remark
that somebody had sliced it brought
forth the query, 'Who was it, the
cook And what was he peeling?
At the tennis court: One player
yelled Forty love-" and the Eng
lishman said he couldn't understand
why the other player couldn't at
least reply. "All right. sweetheart
At the bowling alley: Some sweet
voice saueaked, "Oh, Arthur pulled
| a perfect strike" And our visitor
| inquired as to whether it was due
| to low wages or on account of long
| hours.
At the billiard Eall: When the
manager of the place told player
to chalk his cue the Englishman re-
marked that he had often heard Of
having ones hair singed, but didn't
see the benefit i'll this new idea.
| In three weeks, six days. -four
hours and thirty-two minutes all of
| the above puzzles were duly ex.
| planned.
And the Englishman lived happi'
ly ever after.
If you would join the fellows
Who pick stars who grace the grid
And name a team of best bets
| On the strength of what they've
did"
Just get your little pencil;
Then stick close to these rules
And you'll have a team of players
Who have starred in all the schools
Read all the sport pages for the
past six weeks!
Then make note of what has beer

the east, west, north and south.
Then put your pencil to work ant

After this list reaches about ont

Then make a trip around tht
whole football circuit. Watch ZEN

Now you can use your own judg

Women and the Jury

Zone great reason, then, besides
its Justice, why we would claim the
ballot for woman, is this: Because
the great school of this people is the
jury box and the ballot box" Thus
spoke Wendell Phillips in his address
on woman suffrage at the Worcester
convention in 1851. The jury box
and the ballot box-the two are in
separately linked as the foundation
stone Of our kind of democratic
government.
Yet the New York law, on it's face,
restricts jury service to "male" citi-
zens. Whether the restriction is alb
solute and inescapable, and, if not,
whether the Commissioner Of Jurors
must, as well as may, put women in
the panel, is question now before
the Kings County Court. If the law
is not interpreted as the petitioner
wishes, it ought to be changed by
the Legislature.
The task of the juror is, perhaps,
OF all tasks the most unspecialized,
1t calls for no one type of ability or
experience, but rather for average
common sense and intelligence. Few
any longer assert that of native wit,
OF general all-round intelligence, one
sex has more than the other. When
standardized intelligence tests are
applied, women make as good a
showing as men. They will make as
good jurors as men--which isn't say
ing much.
That may be, says The Times in
effect, but why do women want to
serve on jurics? Men claim exemp-
tions from jury duty whenever they
can; women are sure to do so, too.
Why don't they cherish the whole
sale exemption their sex now affords
them, instead Of seeking to abolish
it? The answer is very simple. No
woman expects to gain. The argu-
ment is an appeal to individual
selfishness and therefore anti-social.
But there Is group interest, il not
personal one, in jury duty. With
respect to exclusion Of ones own
class, or race, or sex, one has an in
terest not as potential juror, but
an = potential party m case. Tho

sorrow and contrition the Western
world will regret that it flinched
from hard task.
Exit 2.75

The numerals "2.75" have lost
their magic. The theory which they
stood for has been rejected by the
Supreme Court. That body yester-
lay by a five-to-four decision sus-
tanned the validity of those parts of
the Volstead enforcement act which
concerns wartime prohibition.
The courts judgment is sweeping.
It seems, according to the summaries
furnished from Washington, to hold
that Congress has as complete power
to regulate the liquor traffic as the
several states have been allowed to
exercise. 1t indorses the govern
ment's contention that a legal defini-
ton of what constitutes an "alco-
holic" beverage ought to be supplied,
since experience has shown how
difficult it is to enforce prohibitory
laws eff liability or inclusion within
the law is made to depend on the
issuable fact whether or not a par
ticular beverage made or sold as a
beverage is Intoxicating"
The court had previously indi-
Gated it's belief that the war emer-
gency status didn't end with the
armistice and that it can end only
with the conclusion Of peace and
the completion of rehabilitation.
January 16 is approaching. The
"wet" interregnum, so often pre-
dicted, has therefore ceased to be
even a 2.75 per cent possibility.
Questions affecting the manner in
which the Federal prohibition amend
ment was submitted and ratified re-
main to be dealt with by the Su-
preme Court. But that body has
shown that it is inclined to allow
the fullest scope to any application
by Congress of the power to pro-
hibit.

The Lost Leader

1t is with grief unassuaged and
sense Of loss and need deeper than
ever that Americans pass this first
anniversary Of Theodore Roosevelt's
death.
His words still ring in our ears.
His example still rises before us.
But how urgently we need his swift
and living sword, here and now, to
cut the shams and tangles of the
hour! How grievously we long to
have his clear sanity and vigorous
common sense applied to the endless
problems mounting before US!
We have faith in America that
another leader will rise up. We
know that in the count Of centuries
Theodore Roosevelt's own words
are true, that the leader is nothing
and the cause everything. But we
think it would be fallacious and
dangerous not to face the irrep-
arabic loss of a year ago and con-
fess frankly the rudderless nation
we still are.
Through the might of his words
and in the fire of his spirit America
fought its greatest battle. What
would We not give for one hour of
that voice in these ominous, drift
ing days Of wrangling debate

Learning

In Bloomfield's Labor Digest is a
report written by Whiting Williams,
vice-president of a steel company,
who, under an assumed name, has
worked as a laborer for several
months in various large steel plants,
shipyards, coal mines and other in
dustrial establishments.
Mr.. Williams discovered that the
fear of joblessness is specter
thought of which is seldom absent
from the laborer, and is persuaded
that the foreman's arbitrary right
to discharge should be trimmed.
Next in Importance in making for
unrest he puts the unheavenly
twins-Tiredness and Temper
weary muscles, leading to unhappy
minds. Third in his list. but in
many ways the most influential,
Mr.. Williams names the colossal
ignorance Of the unskilled worker
of the employers real. purposes and
profits.
It is an almost universal assump-
ton, he says, that net earnings are
enormous and that "pull" counts
for more than merit in securing
promotion. The agitator stops at
no misrepresentation and seldom is
contradicted. Only by a campaign
in behalf Of the truth as industri-
Gus as that urged for error
is there likelihood of breaking
the hold of the radicals. Mr..
Williams, assuming that the radical
has control Of access to one Of the
workers. ears, would have the en-
ployer form contact with the other.
The labor engineer is needed in
modern industry-that is, a man
who attacks the labor problem
scientifically. The counting room
does not commonly develop this
man. There is need to mix and a
special need not to believe that
when something is preposterously
untrue Of course no one will be-
lieve it.
New-York tribune., 1920-01-06

idea at the bottom OF Cne jury SyS-
tenn is that trial by ones peers-by
chance-selected group Of fellow
citizens-is the sort Of trial most
likely, in the long run, to work i'm
partial justice. It may make no
difference to any woman that her
case should be tried by jury COM
posed exclusively of men, but it is
safer not to assume that it makes
no difference.
But it is from the point Of view
of general public benefit that the
reform is chiefly to be wished for.
The more broadly representative
jury is in it's composition the
greater is the probability, other
things being equal, Of it's drawing
fair and correct conclusions from
the evidence presented. The bias of
one member offsets the bias of an
other, the experience of some supple
ments the experience of the rest.
Being tried by twelve chance-chosen
people is an approach to being tried
by the collective community. The
exclusion of women from the free
play of chance in making up the jury
is defect-a survival from the time
when women were presumed to be
uninterested in government. Finally,
the public will be benefited by hav-
ing moiety of it's voting population
educated in their citizenship by jury
service.

Welcome Frankness

The Merchants Association is
to be congratulated on the candor
Of its plea to the President and
Senate in behalf of a ratification
Of the treaty.
The association calls on the Presi-
dent to resubmit the peace treaty
and indicate a willingness to accept
reservations that will permit Ameri-
can participation in the peace
league without impairment of the
safety and the sovereignty Of the
United States. This responsibility
for the treaty deadlock was placed
where it belongs--on the White
House.
The sooner the White House
understands the exact meaning of
the "no-compromise or concession of
any other kind" declaration the
earlier will the treaty be ratified.
Senator Spencer, Of Missouri, in his
reply to the association most per-
tinently says: "If the President had
not written the letter in which he
characterized the reservations not
as ratification but notification
they would already have been
accepted by two-thirds Of the SEN
ate and the treaty would be
adopted"
If the issue were left to the Dem
ocrats Of the Senate alone, with the
White House standing aside and at
tempting no dictation, there is little
doubt that the reservations would be
accepted. Except for the small
group Of irrcconcilables, the Senate,
without regard to party, is in sub
stantial agreement.
Less explicit than the Merchants
Association, Mr.. Taft rciteratcs that
he docs not care much whether the
reservations are attached or not
that he il for ratification either
way. This neutral attitude, al

RooseueH's S Last MESSAGE
his Editorial on The League of Nations" Was Dc
tated by Colonel Roosevelt, Friday, January 3. 1919,
and Was TO Have Been Submitted to Him for Revision
the Following Monday. the Day of His Death

1t Is, OF course, 4 serious misfortune
that our people are not getting a clear
idea Of what is happening on the other
side. For the moment, the point as to
which we were foggy is the league of
nations. We all OF US earnestly desire
such league, only we wish to be sure
that it will help and not hinder the
cause of world peace and justice
There is not a young man in this coun-
try who has fought, or an old man who
has seen those dear to him fight. who
does not wish to minimize the chance
Of future war. But there is not a man
of sense who does not know that in any
such movement if too much is ATTEMPT
ed the result is either failure or worse
than failure.
The trouble with Mr.. Wilson'S utter
ances, so far as they are reported, and
the utterances of acquiescence in them
by European statesmen, Is that they
are still absolutely in the stage of
rhetoric, precisely like the fourteen
points. Some of the fourteen points
will probably have to be construed as
having q mischievous sentence. n
smaller number might be construed as
being harmless and one or two even
as beneficial, but nobody knows what
Mr.. Wilson really means by them, and
so all talk of adopting them as basis
for n peace or league is nonsense and,
If the talker is intelligent, it is insin-
cere nonsense to boot. So Mr.. Wilson'S
recent utterances give US absolutely no
clue as to whether he really intends
that at this moment we shall admit
Russia, Germany, with which, Incl
dentally, we are still waging war;
Turkey, China and Mexico into the
league on full equality with our
selves. Mr.. Taft has recently defined
the purposes of the league and the lin
itations under which it would act in a
way that enables most Of us to say we
very heartily agrcc in principle with
his theory and can. without doubt, como
to All agreement on specific details.
