BETTER JURYMEN

THE constitution" an experienced
Judge remarks, guarantees to every
man a fair and impartial trial by
Jury; that Is, by jury of men who
are discreet, judicious and competent.
It would be gross perversion Of
the truth to say that the juries now
trying cases in my court are of that
character. Many of them are good
and true men, but the majority lack
all sense of proportion and all sense
OF responsibility"
Many other occupants of the bench
give the same verdict. The jury sys-
tenn in this country is under severe
scrutiny, and in almost every COM
munity is found falling to live up to
its traditional character. 1t is said
that many jurymen are chosen who
can hardly write their own names
Nevertheless they are allowed to de-
termine the most intricate questions
involving great sums of money" The
prevailing system encourages the SER
vice of the least competent and dis
courages the service of the sort OF
citizens originally contemplated.
The Judge quoted makes these rec
concentrations for his own commun-
ity:
An investigation and study by a
committee of common pleas judges to
prepare a simpler and fairer system
of selecting jurors.
Stricter supervision on the part Of
the presiding Judge over the manner
in which Jurors are drawn by the jury
commissioner.
The presence OF at least one mar
ried woman of sound discretion and
Judgment on the jury commission.
The raising Of jurors pay.
The adoption of rule that no citi-
zen shall be- excused from jury duty
except In case OF death in the family
or other great emergency.
The selection, by proper examina-
tion, of competent, able and conscien-
tious persons to serve as Jurors dur
ing an entire term.
The suggestions are admirable, and
might be followed to advantage any
where. II bar associations would
show more interest In the matter,
legislatures might be induced to pro-
vide the authority for the desired re-
forms. Unless something is done, our
once glorious jury system may be
swept away some day in a general
wave OF disgust.

He had been improving rapidly
from severe attack Of pieurisy, and
his relapse was entirely unexpected.
The sacrament Of extreme JUNCTION
was administered to him early this
morning by Rev. e. E. MoiinelIi of
the Church Of the Sacred Heart Of
Jesus.
CarusO had intervals throughout
the night and early morning hours
when he lapsed into semi.conscious-
ness but rallied slightly after admin.

Fully aware of his condition, Ca
ruso directed the sending Of a tele-
gram to his son, Enrico Jr., who is a
student at Culver Military academy,
Culver, Ind. He then expressed to
his wife desire to see his friends
and all the singers with whom he had
been associated in the Metropolitan
Opera Co., to tell them goodbye"
All were deeply affected. They re-
ported Caruso in cheerful mood.
Caruso first, was stricken early in
December while singing in the Brook

ruptured blood vessel in his throat,
he sang until his audience learned of
the accident and protested against
his offer to continue.

LAWNS WITHOUT WEEDS

For centuries gardeners the world
over have sought for u fertilizer which
would grow grass but discourage
weeds. II has been proved ut Rhode
Island State colleges after 20 years
Of experiment. that the secret lies In
using ammonium sulphate instead Of
nitrate OF soda for the annual ferti.

Nitrogen is the chief element in
grass food Heretofore gardeners
have supplied this through applica.

has been found that the ammonium
sulphate. on the costrary, supplies
the nitrogen just as we'll, yet pro-
notes an acid condition of the soil

eventually crowded out.
Naturally this requires some time.
But the encouraging things about II
