to the advisability of attempting to
amend our laws so as to make Jury

During the present term of court
we tried one promise OF marriage

trial and both sides announced ready
the three women on the petit jury
asked to be excused, and there being
no objection 1t was done. Many
things were brought out on the trial
that no woman would care to hear in
private much less in public. Had eth
er the Commonwealth or the defen-
dant in this case objected to the court
permitting these women to stand
aside doubt very seriously whether
the court could have properly done
so. Would not 1t have been an in
fringement upon the rights of liti-

Minneapolis Journal The people of
Canada are of the same stock as ours,
they hold similar ideals and are near
neighbors." OF course, it is point
ed out, the United States has more
cities and a greater heterogeneity of
population than her northern neigh
Dor, and both conditions tend to aug
ment crime and divorce" The Jour
nal thinks that some observations re-
Gently made by a Canadian judge
lecturing at the University of Mime
sofa deserve careful consideration.
He calls attention to the more speedy
administration of justice in Canada
and to the greater difficulty of OBJ
tanning divorces. In Ontario, the
most populous province, "the only
way divorce can be obtained is by
act of Parliament. Consequently,
not more than four or five persons
apply for a divorce in a year" The
important point in all this, says The
Journal is chow effective legal pro-
cedure can be in checking crime and
divorce. Through lax and diverse
laws relative to crime and divorce the
United States has bred disrespect for
law and authority. We are now reap
ing the bitter fruits of such policy"
Only one State in the Union
South Carolina-has no divorces
against its record, for the very good
reason that the law does not permit
them. OF the rest, only one-third
have a rate lower than that of ia
pan. The comparative net divorce
rates per 100000 of population by
