It is said that one of the prospec
tive jurors at the Twin Falls trial
on being questioned as to whether
he had any prejudices as to the case
admitted that he thought a Woman
was a little better than a man
There are many who hold to his ar
ticle of faith. Women" they
say. ARE better than men," If they
are asked to pass judgment on a wo-
man, they do not wait to examine
the facts of the case, but begin to
make excuses for her because she is
woman. And they determine, re-
gardless as to the evidence, to give
her a lighter sentence than they
would give a man of whom exactly
the same facts are true.
The question arises: If a woman
is 'better" than a man, just how
how much better" is she? Just
how much more does a live woman
signify than dead husband? If
woman with leaning to homi-
eide promises to restrict the prac-
tice of her fad to mere men, just
how are we to classify the offense
AS a misdemeanor Perhaps |
such a woman should be fined $25
for violation of the game laws?
The difficult thing is to determine
Just how much better" a woman is
than a man. If we knew that, we
would know, also, lots of other
things. For instance, we might de-
eide just how many husbands we
should allow a woman to kill before
we could require her to abstain
from the practice OF her fad for I,
few years. Perhaps if it were seen
that men were being killed off too
fast, all the women with homlcidal
proclivities would have to be shut
up for term of years-at least un-
til the scarcity was diminished. This
would be on the same principle that
closed seasons for term of years
IRE sometimes declared by the game
department..
Another Question: If a woman
hould kill 20 or more men. would
We then be justified in depriving
Ter of her liberty permanently? Or
hould she be turned loose after
ew years to kill few more?
For heavens sake, let's have
bag limit" somewhere Mere men
lay be bad enough, but let's not
eny them the protection that we r..

His rediscovery of Florida in
1913 was on Easter Sunday,
hence the name, which is from
Pascua Florida or Flowery Pass
over, which is the Spanish for
Easter Sunday.
The French were the next set
tiers, founding a colony on tue
st. Johns river. Spain promptly
took action TO maintain her own
ership of this region and sent
over an expedition which erected
a fort under the leadership of
Menendez at St. Augustine in
1865 and exterminated the Huge
not colony. st. Augustine is the
oldest city in the United States.
There followed a period of hos
tility between the English col
0nists in the Carolinas and the
Spanish in Florida. BY the trea-
ty of 17G3 Spain coded Florida
to England in exchange for Ha-
vana, which England had cap
tured a few years previous. 1t
remained an English colony I'M
til the last years of the Reyolu-
ton when Spain recaptured 1t.
There were two provinces,
East and West Florida. AS the
Spanish ruled Florida with a
very loose form of government, !
this region became the refuge ST !:
