WOMEN JURORS

One of the most important bllls to come before the electors of the Terri tory, since the wet and dry refereh- dum is the measure allowing women to serve as jurors. It will be remem- bered that none but women will be allowed to vote on this measure, special ballot being provided for the occa sion. This ballot will be deposited in separate ballot box and counted before the other ballots are counted. There is little doubt but that the meas ure will carry, as it is a question per taining solely to prerogatives or the female of the species, and there are few of them adverse to sitting idly ln a jury box while witnesses and de' fendants dispense conversation at i've dollars per diem: The feminine juror is here to stay, and judges and attor- neys must adjust their personal ap- naa~ance and characteristics to chang ed conditions.
 Pulchritude and charm Of manner w;,, po far toward winning cases from now on. What chance with a feminine iurv will an iron visaged attorney have against such Apollos as Frank H. Foster, Julien Hurley, A. J. Dl- mond and our own local attorneys? None! Absolutely none!

Banks and business men of the

One of the ways in which the
forger gains the confidence of his

prominently connected with a New

on which the mony is drawn. He
does this by making an engagement
