MAY COMPLETE JURY TO
 TRY FOSTER BY NIGHT
Ten Men and Two Women Tentatively Accepted When Trial Opened
 This Morning

St. Joseph, Mich.. March l4. (By Associated Press)-With ten men and two women tentatively accepted as jurors by the defense and all but one approved by the state. attorneys for both sides predicted that the jury to try William z Foster on charges of criminal syndicalism would be com pleted today.
 The charge against Foster, the first of 76 alleged radicals to be placed on trial here is the outgrowth of the convention of the communist party held in the dunes and near here last August.
 Discovery yesterday that two of the men in the jury box had received de- fense propaganda through the mails when they went home Monday caused Judge Charles White to warn the jurors against reading newspaper re- ports or anything relative to the case. The circulars were mailed from New York by the American civil liberties union on stationery which showed that both Foster and Frank P. Walsh, his chief counsel, are national com mitteemen of the organization. MT, Walsh explained, to the court that he had no knowledge of the sending of the letters and did not approve of it. The state claims 15,000 copies of the letter and two enclosed pamphlets were mailed to Berrien county citizens so that they would be deliv- cred Monday, the day the trial open- ed. It also was claimed that while the letters bore the return address of the civil liberties union the envelopes were purchased, printed and address ed here, and that the labor defense council of Chicago paid for the work Foster also is an officer of the Chicago organization.

Cleveland, March 4.-DecIaring censorship of news is unwise, Walter Lippman, New York eritor, in an address here before the Chamber of Commerce, said that it was the duty of the modern newspaper to print crime news as well as every other kind.

Senator Stevens. The resolution was
vetoed by the governor, who declar d.
ed he did not want any political
body to probe the board, and who
called attention to the fact that At
torney General McCran had already
started suit against the road board,
charging them with fraud and cor

Against Better Judgment
The spectacIe of lawmakers voI-
ing against their own better judg-
ment to satisfy the demands of their
part, leaders was well eXemplified
in the House of Assembly last night
when that body by the vote Of 80
to 16 passed over the governors S
veto, the Blackwell bill making eX-
treme cruelty a ground for divorce.
Inasmuch as the measure had al
ready been approved in the senate
over the executives head. the as
sembly action made it a law.
When the bill was called up on
third reading the Republican whips
experienced all Kinds of dlthculty n
getting the required 81 votes to pass
it. Other bids had easily slid over
the governors veto Republican mem
bers so voting without a word, but
the Blacwell measures, which in
wolves d very drastic divorce policy
for the state of New Jersey, was
too much for a number of the
majority members to swallow.
Twelve of them voted "no" outright,
while others remained silent rather
than be recorded in the affirmative.
Seeing this situation, Republican
Floor Leader Corio of Atlantic, and
Speaker Evans, personally began a
campaign about the assembly
cfTa1nber for the needed votes under
this pressure five of the dozen who
had baked were gotten into line,
and their support brought the re-
quired majority for the bill. Those
who switched their votes Were
Bliazzard of Cumberland, Gibbs of
Camden, Cliff and of Union, and
Williams of Passaic.
All the other votes came from the
following Republicans: Adams,
Barkman, Chamberlin, Coles, Corio,

Our Town Characteristic

Our room has decided to have a
town. In our town we have a mayor.
a health commissioner, and a police
department. Every day they do their
duty. We have this so that when we
grow up we can be good citizens "A
good citizen is one who lives and let's
live" I think it very good plan.
We chose Characteristic for the
name of our town because we want
to have good characters. Character
is what you are: We show our char
acter by our actions. If you want to
have good character follow the
Golden Rule which is to DO unto
others as you would have them do
unto you" We want character be-
cause we want everyone to love and
honor us. Abraham Lincoln and
George Washington had wonderful
characters. l think character is the
