But the jury survives even in the regions where this
official has been added, and the reliance upon the
preliminary examination by a magistrate to determine
whether or not one shall be held for trial is not ex-
oept IN a few states, held to be sufficient The trial
jury is secure. Probably no feature among the for
tfieations against personal injustice is more so. Not
yet is there indication that judgment as TO guilt would
be intrusted with any confidence to one man. Upon
questions of fact there must be the conclusion of
men from the common walks OF life The defender
of the Grand jury, consistently at least, as-erts that
the question of fact equally deserves consideration Mt
the point of accusation. It IS hardly less a trine
that a man shall be held for trial than that he shall
be found guilty, and neither should be left to the
chance of a technical, as against a purely human,
consideration.
TO cat aside the grad jury would be to reduce
the preliminary steps in prosecution TO a technical
basis 1t serves to sift from those who are accused
those whose offense is too trifling in its nature to
require prosecution, and to pass upon evidence which,
as one high authority has stated it, can more wisely
be heard by n body impartially selected from the
people than by a single officer whose training -ould
incline him to find grounds upon which 4 prosecution
might be sustained There is obviously involved in
the issue Of abolition the removal Of one of the set
tied usages of the common law, designed to throw
barriers around the liberty and security of the indi-
yidual. They are such barriers as would seem to be
needed so long as the right to be protected against
trifling or unjustified accusation is recognized as
fairly a common human right"

Going to Church

IF o AvEN'T attended Divine worship in the
L past couple of hundred years or so, brace up and
go some Sunday morning. It will be a revelation to
you You will discover a lot of things you either did
not know or had forgotten. You need not have any
fears of the roof caving in on you. Church roofs
have no such habits. 1t is an old fiction. And besides
this point has just been tested by several Casper gen.
tlemen who hav'nt been in the vicinity Of a synagogue
since their parents took them by the hand and led
them there many years ago, when the word was
newer and offered fewer counter attractions on the
seventh day of the week than it does in the present.
You will readily recover from that "out of place.
feeling. depending somewhat on the length of time
you have been absent from such exercises as are held
in churches. A few eyebrows may be elevated in
polite surprise at your presence. but you soon learn
that although you are a cat in a strange garnet, you
are nevertheless welcome, and no one will say any
thing about you at the time, reserving this privilege
until gathered about the lunch table in the privacy
of the home. And what is said there, of course, never
reaches your ears.
First off, you will discover that the usher has given
you a pretty fair seat in a fairly prominent portion
of the church. This is gratifying. And you take il
that the usher has recognized fully your Importance
in the community. Although you don't know him,
you have no doubt the usher is a very excellent person
and you uifht desire to know him more intimately.
Next, mach to your surprise, you learn that the
choir and a skilled organist. You are hearing sacred
music, s~plendidly rendered, for the first time in a
long, long while. And what n relief it is from the
jazz of the world?
The rites and ceremonies proceed, quite in the
same way as recalled out of a misty past The les
sons concluded. comes the sermon. You settled your
sen IN what comfort you could extract from a church
pew and braced yourself for the long seige you
~member from other days was certain to come at
this stage. The one thing you remembered distinctly
with no alluring prospect, was the degree of hardness
of the church pew.
What was your surprise then, when Rector Edwards
launched into a brief and entertaining lecture, OF
plain wholesome quality, replete with wisdom, and
philosophy, and with no consideration of the views
of the rich parishioner or anybody else. So far as
he went he dealt in truth and fact There was nc
hesitation or suffering, nor apology for his views.
The occasional, and as the worshippers filed out
n kindly greeting from the Rector. That was all.
Try going to church sometime. For the novelty

The Grand Juy System

DISCUSSING the tendency of the times and the
II periodical attacks upon the grand jury as an insti-
tuition the Christian Science Monitor has this to say:
appearance in the legislative proposals of some
of the older American states of the abolition of the
grand jury may be taken as an indication of the
tendency away from the old order of jurisprudence
even in regions where it has been regarded as most
secure. The grand jury is the most venerable item
in the list of inherited features of criminal prosecu-
tons. 1t antedates the judges, comes out of the haze
of an unrecorded past, is older by centuries than the
trial jury, and so is deeply founded. But its antiquity
perhaps lends attraction to the assault, upon it. sup
plying the easy inference that it is old enough to
deserve retirement. or, to put it more seriously, giving
strength to the claim that it fitted a primitive social
order but is out of place in our day.
at is not new for the grand jury to be under
attack as an institution. 1t has furnished top;c for
stout debate these many years. Great legal lights
have engaged in its discussion. Volumes have been
to meet the assaults upon it. The newest ~constitu-
tons of the commonwealth of the western United
States have omitted it and the middle west has re-
Gently called it into question, with just now the New
York legislature bordering upon doing away with it
Il is not undertaken to make out that it operates less
well than at any time in its honorable past. Abuses
are sparingly cited, if at all, and the case for abolition
rests upon the assertion that it has outlived its use
fitness.
against such rather negative reasoning, the de-
tenders of the grand jury point out that its service
IS not one that time makes less valuable and that the
defense of the man against false, or ~trifling, or tech.
meal prosecution is just as necessary to the operation
Of justice as it was in the remote days when the
whole machinery of enforcing order consisted of this
body, more or less numerously recruited from com
mon people, to determine whether or not one of their
number had so conducted himself as to need cor
rection. Older than the trial jury, it has the distinct
function of ~sheltering against unwarranted prosecu-
ton, and therein it serves as human a purpose as the
jury of ones peers to determine finally as to mis-
guilt.
"The modern substitute. so far as one has been
provided for the grand jury, is the public prosecutor
