back again when the tooth stopped bleeding.
 A Sample Case
 "She went away and when she came back her jaw was terribly swollen and she was suffering intensely. The boy explained that he could do nothing until the swelling went down, but, as the pain was so great, she decided that she must have treatment immediately and went to another dentist. The new dentist treated her and extracted the piece of tooth left in her jaw, and told her to take it back to the other dentist and show him what had been done.
 "The three brothers all swore that the boy was merely huckster, and that he had never been in the dentist, s office and had never worn a white coat in his life. But the woman positively identified the boy and other witnesses also identified him and said he had treated them in his brothers office. The boy was placed in a group of men seated in the courtroom. instead of on the platform, and still the witnesses had no difficulty in picking him out. They were also very positive in theiE statements and could not be confused. and they could not have any reason to be against the boy unless he really had been in the office
 Furthermore. the boy did not make a good impression in the court room. He had regular Charlie Chaplin mus tache, a lovely complexion and big, elo- quent brown eyess but he was too pert and flippant and sure of his ground. 'Td much rather be tried by a jury of women than by jury of men," he remarked on the morning that the case opened. "Women wouldn't be fair to a woman who was being tried, but with a man it'll be different. I'm satisfied all right"
 Thus the decision of the jury must have burst upon the young man with a tremendous shock. For it took them almost no time at all to find him guilty of the serious offense of prac- ticing dentistry without a license. At 1 first two of the twelve women were in clined to acquit him because they felt sorry for his brother. who had worked so hard to educate him, and who would now probably lose a good deal of hi< practice. but these did not hold out very long. Tke decision came in just r minutes.

Reckless Drivers

Some one on Saturday night in automobile wrecked one side of the enclosure of imitation grave near the intersection of Adams street and Central avenue. It may be that such obstruction should not have been placed in that thoroughfare. But there was still between it and either curb for any driver except very careless drunken one.
 People who drive the Tempe-Phoenix road have noticed the large number of wrecked barri- cades of steel and concrete which were placed to guard the way culverts draws and steep declivi- ties. Automobiles have torn down scores of those concrete posts and have twisted the iron raings out shape, yet that excellent roadway is eighteen feet in width wide enough accom- modate three automobiles abreast, though there be no excuse for than two occuping that position
 We have often thought that the erection of these harricades was worse than wste of public money. They serve only 10 dangerous drivers who as apt to hit an automobile the other side of the road as they are to hit the barrcades. But for the barrcades the offending automobiles would go into tho ditches or down the steep declivites and thus would be eliminated temporarily at least. just so many clements of danger to the travelling public
 The careful or the driver does not need them. He is not going to run off the paved road there or at any other point

Women Juries
 Now Popular
By Frederic J. haskin


 NEW YORK, Jan. 1T-Impressed by the ability of women juries in New Jersey, New York is now considering the advisability of introducing women jurors into it's courts. 4 bill amend ing the present jury law to include female citizens of the United States" as well as male ones, Is to be submit tde to the New York legislature this month, and, as the legislature is known to be favorably disposed on the ques- tion, it is believed that it will be only a short time before Ladies and Gen tlemen of the Jury will be an estab- lished form in the courts.
 With the change in the law, jury ser vice will become an obligation on the part of women just as much as it is today with the men. and they will be subjected to the same strict rules. The present law provides that any person, subpoenaed for jury duty who fails to respond is subject to punishment for contempt of court, and may be fined 60 the extent of $100. It Is doubtful whether this compulsory feature of the law will prove any more popular with women than with men. after the novel, ty of jury duty wears off. but for the first few years there will Dobably be few attempts at evasions.
 Under present conditions, the courts are having more and more difficulty in obtaining competent juries of men. No man, it seems, will serve on a jury if he can possibly avoid it. Already mas culine ingenuity has been strained in inventing a large assortment of ex- cuses from jury service, and it may be that in the future long list of femi- nine excuses will be offered, headed by necessary shopping" and bridge club meetings"
 But, so far, women have shown themselves much more interested In jury duty than men.
 It was Judge Daniel A. Dugan of Essex county court, Orange, N. T., who first tried the experiment in this part of the country. In November, the judge suddenly found his panel of 300 men jurors drawn for his court at the be- sining of the year running out, all of the men finding excuses of one kind or another to relieve them Of the work So. being more annoyed than usual, he took the radical alternative Of drafting the newly cnfrauchised New Jersey women.

An Aristocratic Jury


 The women chosen were carefully picked, and represented some of the best families of Orange. Much to the surprise of the court, they appeared promptly in answer to the summons and none offered an excuse to avoid serving. At the last moment, 1t is true. Mrs. Thomas A. Edison telephoned the Judge and asked to be excused because her husband was i'll. but she said that she would find some way to come if he could not find someone else to take her place.
 According to Mrs. Everett Colby. who was appointed forewoman of the jury the women talked the matter over and decided that since they had gained the ballot after such a long, hard fight they ought not to object to fulfilling it's responsibilities when the call 70 jury duty came they would accent it without complaint
 It was the most interesting experl- ence,' Mrs. Colby declared when the trial was over, and the ladies were dis cusslng its features in the domestic at mosphere of an Orange tearoom. Tt was the first time I had ever had the chance to watch the operations of a court, and there were lots of things we didn't understand, but of course we NoA1N44 S tAAtNAA upN tO dSk questions.
 The most astounding thing to me was when two witnesses swore to ex- actly the opposite thing on the same point. We had to decide between them as to which was telling the truth. and we had nothing at all to go upon We knew nothing about their history or what kind of people they were, and yet we had to determine which one was lying, and which one was telling the | truth. Of course, one of them was 1 lying. But he was permitted to come into court and swear to a lie that he knew was a lie. and the jury decided against him. decided that he was lying. but he was allowed to go without any thing being done to him."
 Our case, of course, was a simple l one continued Mrs Colby. There was a dentist who came from a family of hucksters. There were three broth CTS. and the dentist had taken one of ! his brothers and kept him in school ! sending him through high school Afterward the boy became huckster but also helped in the office of his brother, the dentist. One of the wit nesses, d woman. testified that she went to the dentists office one evening 1 at s o'clock and the boy tried to pull a tooth for her, but the tooth broke and ! blood began to flow. The boy told her she would have 10 90 away and come

The wires are down for 50 miles east of ogden owing to the great storm which has prevailed in that vicinity for three days. It is hoped by the company that it will be able to run a train through by tomorrow and relieve the dearth of telegraphic news. If it is any consolation, our readers are informed that San Francisco is in much the same fix as themselves, not having received any eastern dispatches for 72 hours Sunday mornings Tucson Journal. The Herald makes the following comment.
 At San Francisco the press might be without eastern and foreign dispatches, but Phoenix paper, through the ef- forts of 'the talented journalist from Washington" contains them all the same.

GIT ENCOURAGES cRIMEy By Edith Abbott, Associate Professor of Social Economy, Chicago University

The only argument in favor of capital punishment is that 1t prevents crime If this were true think might favor it. It is not true. There are never more murders in states which have no capital pun ishment than in those which do
 In Chicago where hanged every year than in almost any other city there are more crimes of violence than elsewhere
 Not only, hanging doesn't prevent murder but it actually encourages 1t.
 When 100 years ago. there 200 crimes pun shable by death in England and reforrners wanted to cut down the number the cry raised that un- less hanging the punishment of theft property would not be safe. What happened? The reform CTS won. Property is safer in London today than in any other place because great and efficient police systeem was built up which catches and brings to punishment thieves

Society prepares the crime; the commits tt. Buckle.
The puty b the court's

A few days ago Governor Cox of ohio pardoned a murderer who had served eleven years of life sentence. believe longer period of punishment than Is usually undergone under life sentence Replying to some criticism the governor made out a fairly good case for himself resting the ton however that the condemned had really constructed himself as the governor had decided from personal conference with him. If so the chief object of the punishment had been effected. If he had actually ceased to be menace to society but tho contrary was prepared to be inducted useful member of it, it would be wrong longer to detain him within the gray walls of the prison.
 But who is to know and howg Governor Cox with all his wisdom cannot be judge of the prog rsss of the reconstruction of convicted criminal. Nor can any man. And there many who be- Heve that one who hat 1t in him to commit cold blooded murder which, in this case, without single mitigating circumstance has not in him the material for complete reconstruction.
 Anyhow this incident has given rise to de- mand in ohio for change of the law which if it had been effected before the conviction of this would have prevented any dispute as to whether not he has been reconstructed The proposed change would take away from juries the function of fixing the punishment in murder cases and place it solely within the hands of the court
 That is something that should be done every where in Arizona we'll Even the courts some ulnes abuse the discretion with which they in- vested and jures do so frequently. flagrantIy and notorously swayed by sympathy or prejudice they throw evidence. circumstance and reason to the winds and disregard their solmen oaths
 Any naturally hesitates to reach conclu- sion which means the death of a fellow man. When twelve men any lesser number feel that way about it fin the secluson of the jury room they are apt to yield to that reluctance and reach another conclusion. The responsibility so divided that it rests lightly on each of them
 It is different with the court The judge alone should bear it. Standing out in the white light he could not shift it without bringing the odum of the public down upon himself
 Ho should be of course allowed the same dis erection that Is exercised by juries-that of i'm posing the life sentence or the death penalty for there are in every murder case circumstances which make one preferable to another
 And then would avoid in murder trials that squeamishness and sentimentaty which more often than not prevents the administration of justice. Without their certain and prompt administration our laws not of full effect
 There was never good. reason why this dis cretion should be allowed juries of course it was lodged with them the assumption that jurors are always intelligent honest and courageous men. a most ridiculous assumption. It was really lodged with juries to courts from the performance of an unpleasant duty which belongs to them. by put ting it upon men who can evade it without responsi- bility for the evasion they have generally and notoriousy evaded it.

cision he would have made himself. Since then he has been encouraged to repeat the experiment
 We have found women jufies an unqualified successp he said recently. and they have had the effect Of nlak- ing men juries easier to got The men seem a little ashamed of themselves and they are not offering so many es- cuses to escape serving. I think in cluding women in the jury lists will make the whole business Of jury get ting easier. It doubles the number of available jurors. for one thing.
 Tt is also possible to get a higher type of women to serve on a jury-the same type of men are too busy to serve. Some of the male juries we have are almost feeble minded, and the verdicts they render are absolutely ridiculous. I have thrown out many verdicts of men juries and ordered re- trials. Sometimes I let them stand, because it doesn't make any difference, anyway. But often the verdicts are. 100 irrelevant to the facts"
 Judge Dugan is not sure that women would be as efficient in a murder case, or a long drawn-out civil case, where every point is the basis of a long argument. They would get tired, of course. but then 1t is not an unusual sight to see a masculine jury nodding and dozing in the jury box. entirely ob- .llvious to important testimony. Wom- en could not, do any worse than this. he says.
 Anyway. the judge is going to try it, and see what happens, The panel of 300 jurors for the Orange court this year is to be made up of 150 men and 15O women. And the next thing that is to be tried in court is a mixed jury of six men and six women. For the mixed jury. it Is believed. will be the most successful kind of a jury ever de- Neloned under OUT iuaieial system.
