Lest We Fcrqst


 There is a woman out West who ad- mitted that she Killed man, and said she would return to her state and stand trial ii they would promise her a jury of women.
 More than one man elitor has com mented that she might do better with a jury of men. And beneath their com ment is latent more than a reference 10 the chivalrs that men as judges of women have always shown before. Then, too, it seemed to me. they held yelled reproach that we should so soon forget.
 From jury of women this woman would get iustice--oven if that justice is not in the written law. But from a jury of men she would get more. She would certainly get justice, plus chiv- airy.
 Lest we forget-they were men judges, men jurors who decreed the unwrittcn law which has protected the woman who made man pay. And that is the justice, justice of chivalry and generosity in all things that mer l judges and jurors and man. made laws have meted out to us right along. ThS 1 one injustice that women did suffer d 1 the hands of men, the delaying Of sui 1 fraee equality. was only because a very small minority of men were enabled bs i legislative red tape to delay the will O their majority.
 We really enjoyed preference rathe1 ] than equality. I remember a scandal
