A WOMAN JUROR.

Mrs. Eleanor Webb. foreman of a
New Jersey jury. is probably the first
woman to arise in jury box and an
nounce a verdict which entails n death
sentence. She has proved that a wom-
an can act on evidence and not be
guided by sympathy. The verdict was
against two men who had slain an
othes. t
"Of course ! was sorry for the moth
ers of these men," Mrs. Webb SAID
after the verdict, but the life Of the
man they killed was just as dear to
him.
1t developed that the men on the
Jury were somewhat inclined at first
to be lcnient and bring in a verdict
which would only mean life imprison-
ment, but Mrs. Webb persuaded them
that the evidence pointed clearly TO
murder in the first degree.
There seems TO have been no femi-
nine reluctance to do what should be
done in this instance nor any woman
~ sentiment about it either.
OF course all women are not fitted
to sit on jurics in cases of this kind
but neither are all men fitted for it.
Some day men will get over the notion
that women are temperamentally I'M
fitted for jury duty. There has been
much talk Of the emotional dualitie'
of women rs stronger than their sense
of Justice but it isn't altogether true.
1t is fact that some men are just
as much moved by their sympathies ms
are women.-Albany Knickerbocker
Press.

A THREAT OF CONSPIRACY

On top of all the injury it has done to
the cause of genuine temperance, the
Anti Saloon League OF New York has
added an insult to the Legislature OF
that state. That this league recognizes
no authority save that which it has dele
gated to itself has been indicated by
prior incidents; practical confirmation is
now afforded by. the warning it has
hurled at the only body which the citi-
zens of New York as a whole have au-
thorized to govern them.
Recently, following the indictment OF
Anderson, head of the league, for al
legged financial irregularities, the grand
jury suggested that the Legislature in
vcstigate the league in its entirety. The
anti-salooners were quick to respond. In
"a lengthy, vitriolic statement they de-
clared that any attempt by the Legisla-
ture to investigate the league would be
regarded as can overt act constituting a
declaration OF war against the 5000 Prot
estant churches" OF New York.
Such a categorical deli" even without
embellishing details, would betray law
less spirit in any organization issuing it
If any organization undertaking to con-
troll public affairs were innocent OF
wrong-doing, one would naturally sup
pose that it would welcome an investiga-
ton of its activities. In "hollering' be-
fore it had been hit the anti-saloor
league acted just as one would expect
the guilty to act.
When the cnbellshing details of the
def are considered the spirit OF the
league presents greater ugliness. i
the Legislature should ignore the warn
ing, and investigate the league "any
way the anti-salooners assert in theil
statement, then they will do all in thei
power to make Such an outrage as cx
pensive as possible to those responsible
for it." For practical purposes thi'
means that the leaguers would deliber
ately try to block the course of orderl'
government by making the cost of tn,
investigation financially prohbitive. o
course the bills would he paid out of tn,
pockets of the people.

organization protesting to be devoted t.

mated that the newspapers should have
devoted less attention to the decline Ill
the price of wheat.
Doesn't Mr.. Barnes know that the
newspapers do not make their own
news? When farmers, Individually and
by organizations, cry out that they are
ruined" and demand government aid,
or some other kind of aid, that cry is
naturally, inevitably reported in the
news columns. When politicians and
government officials advocate this or
that means OF relief from any condition,
it is the function OF newspapers to re-
port what they say. If anybody de-
sires TO know what a newspaper thinks
of representations made by farmers. poll
ticians or government officials. he should
turn to the editorial page; that is the
proper place for the expression OF Jour
nalistic opinion on news events.
If Mr.. Barnes had read the editorial
pages OF American newspapers more con-
sstently than he seems to have done,
he would have encountered there some
advice similar to tina. which he himself
has offered for improvement OF the
wheat situation" Upon the first ap-
pearancc of the problem, THE LIGHT, for
one, expressed the conviction that the
solution lay almost altogether in the
OF the markets. This re-
fers, OF course, to natural facilities for
commerce.
The remedy says Mr.. Barnes, lies
not in legislative price-fixing, nor in
control of supply by limitation of acre
age alone" That is exactly the view
taken by THE LIGHT at the outset. AS
Mr.. Barnes points out, acreage-control
is not dependable. so far as vital results
in production are concerned; for, even
if all the wheat growers in the country
should religiously fulfill an agreement
to cut their respective acreages in half.
there would remain the possibility OF
increased production through natural;
means, such as fertilization, better seed
selection, improved growing conditions,
and so on.
1t is obvious that European stability
would result in improved markets for
American wheat. Mr. Barnes suggests
this cause-and-effcct relationship. but he
does not propose any means OF estab-
fishing it. To some Americans. appar
entity, it has never occurred that Euro
pean instability is due largely to exactly
the same condition against which Mr..
Barnes, in the interest OF wheat growers
here, complains-namely, lack of ade-
Quate markets"
Germany is even now trying to get
hundreds of thousands of. bushels OF
American wheaton credit. Her latest
proposition is that we accept her non
Understanding bonds in payment for
wheat. If we would accept in trade
for our wheat, on basis that would not
be ruinous to the Germans, those OF their
commodities for which we could find
profitable use. fair start toward solu-
ton OF the market problem would thus
be made.
