PETIT AND GRAND
 JURORS, OCT TERM
Evidently Thru Oversight of Jury Commissioners, No Women Were Drawn for Service in Circuit
 Court.

No women were drawn for jury service at the October term of cir cult court. This fact was revealed Monday when Circuit Clerk w. l.. Parker opened the lists of jurors se- lected by the commissioners. The omission of names of the fair sex is not taken to indicate a lack of gall lantry on the part of the jury com missioners, but if Is believed to be due to an oversight.
 The jurors chosen for duty at the term of court next month include the following: Petit Jurors for October Term, 1921. w. J. Lauck, Mena. R. Golf, Mena.

ELOQUENT FACTS

The United States Census
is full of the most; interest
ing statistics, if we have
time and patience to delve
into it. A recent writer has
had both, and his researches
have borne fruit. It seems
that out of our population
of 105 million, some As mil
lion attend church, while ~
million go to Sunday-school.
There are two million OF us
who teach in Sunday-school,
and 100000 of us who are
spiritual shepherds to their
flocks. Church-going is on
the increase, active member
ship having practically dou-
bled in the last twenty
five years; while the popu-
lation has increased only 50
per cent. Church property
is valued at two billions of
dollars, with 500 million for
endowment. Nearly Z mil
lion persons became mem
bers Of religious bodies dur
ing the ten years ending
December 81, 19l6-includ-
ing two years Of the world
war. The churches spend 50
million a year for special ex-
tension work. They spend
nearly 16 million additional
on foreign missions, while
the maintenance Of meeting
halls, clergymen's salaries
and those of other workers
amounts to over 400 millions
of dollars annually.
It's the consensus of opin-
ion among thinking people
that moral instruction, reli-
gious teaching, if you will, is
the only means of preserving
our civilization. The Gull
aviation of the intel
lect alone will not suffice.
Metaphysics was termed by
John Stuart Mill, as "that
fertile field of delusion pro-
pagated by language" Yet
Stuart Mill was as far on the
farther side of the question
as he deemed Kant or
Schopenhauer on the hither
side. Science offers, and
can offer, no solution of the
problem of human existence
and human destiny. Phil
osophy is equally at fault
except in SO far as it roots
itself in divine revelation.
Only, then, as the world
grows more religious, does
it grow better. And it is a
most encouraging and
significant sign, for this
world of ours today, that
religion is OH the increase
among the people of the
United States. Once it might
have been truly said that
sAthings were of the snake"
Even into the 10Th century,
"things were in the saddle
and rode mankind"
But the dawn of better
days is certainly visible in
our own century. The world
is becoming altruistic. Serv-
ice is the new word inscribed
on its hannal.s. and service

WOMAN EDITOR DENIES CHARGE

Miss Virginia Roderick, the new editor of the Woman Citizen. is rather skeptical of the Ohio law. yer's conclusions regarding the hard heartedness of women in general.
 "I don't think it's true." she said, that women are always merciless on juries. do think they are very con scientious and intelligent in dealing with such serious matters.
 When the women of the United States received the vote last year the laws of Ohio made all electors eligible for jury service. Women should be made use of on juries be- cause thereby the chances of getting a good jury are doubled"

WO MAN JURIST'S
 VIEWS ON JURORS

The best answer to this charge is contained in an article by Judge Allen in a recent number of The Wo- man Citizen" said Mrs. Brown, who is also managing director of that suffrage publication.
 She points out one phase of the woman jury question that is worth considering that 1t is difficult to get men of intelligence and education to serve on juries. They are absorbed in their business and try to make ex- cuses.
 Such men feel they simply cant afford to give up their time to jury duty. But there is q large class of intelligent women who have the leisure for this service, and they should be given the opportunity for it.
 "Women are usually suspected of being too leniert on juries, and Judge Allen brings out these points in these paragraphs" Mrs. Brown said, quot ing the article as follows
 ""There has been some question whether the women jurors would not be too sympathetic and let criminals go scot-free or allow them undue leniency. This doubt certainly has not been borne out in my experience. John Azzarello was tried for first-de- gree murder before me and found guilty; the only woman on the jury was steadfast for conviction. We have lately tried Frank Motto for first-degree murder in my court He was found guilty without a recom- mendation of mercy, which means that he received the death penalty. The foreman of the jury was a wom. an; in fact, she was the only woman on the jury. From the first she de- manded the death penalty for the murder, which was peculiarly wan ton. The jury which has just given the death penalty to Purpera, an ac-

 Mrs. Brown then called our atten- tion to the following:
 "IIowcycr. in the preliminary se- lection of jurors for these cases, many women were excused because
 they were opposed to capital punish un.t and would shrink from sending t1 tho chair another mothers son. It i- evident that gcncraljzaGons can mo, b. made as to women jurors any more than as to men jurors, SO fur as louioucy is concerned.

 While the Gallic Georges invites trouble with only one strong man. consider the tomerity of E. M Bal, lard, Cincinnati lawyer who calls all women mnrcilcss. He declares he will have none of them on the jury which will pass upon the ease of his client, Walter Brockman, charged with first degree murder.
 "I challenged off all five women percmtorily" he said. No, don't mind stating my reasons. The record thus far in criminal cases has shown that women jurors always are for conviction.
 "Women are merciIess, mach more so than men" he told the court.
