REPUBLICANS RELY
ON ORGANIZATION

WASHINGTON, July 17.--In
combating the progressive drive
of Senator La Toilette and the
literally toned campaign of john
w. Davis, Coolidge forces Will
rely primarily on the organizations
they have built up to hold what
they can in the western and north
western agricultural states, for
which all three will wage vigorous
battle as it is likely to be decisive
ground.
Distribution of patronage for the
last three years has given the re-
.publicans strongly welded state or
carnations. Word has gone out to
these organizations to start the
wheels. Lines for the defense have
been frightened.
For the republicans Will be on
the defensive. Democrats and pro
gressiyes will capitalize the agrar-
ion discomfort in the west and the
northwest arising from dissatisfac-
ton with the administration. Bus
they lack the organization Of the
republicans.

always what they believe the
highest aims in view when they
support a candidate or a oues-
ton. I should like to see women
serve on iuries."
Georgia women are not now
eligible for jury duty. State laws
passed before the woman suf-
frage act specify that only men
may act as jurors. Since the
18TH amendment to the Consti-
tuition of the United States was
adopted the State laws have not
been amended.
There are y States having
laws similar 70 ours which ex-
cludes women from jury service,
says the Journal, as follows:
Alabama, Arizona, Colorado.
Florida, Indiana, Montana, Mis-
sissippi, Missouri, Massachusetts,
Nebraska, New Mexico, New
York, North Dakota, Oklahoma,
Oregon, South Dakota, Tennes-
see, Texas, Virginia, West Vir-
GINA and Wyoming.
In Kansas, Washington, Cali
fornia and Utah amendments
have been adopted which permit
women to act as jurors. In Cali
fornia and Utah jury duty is
compulsory for women as we'll as
men, though the same rules which
release men from Jury duty ap-
ply also to women. Mothers of
small children, are of course, ex-
empted.
In the remaining States attor-
ney generals have held on the one
hand that the enfranchisement of
women automatically rendered
them liable to jury service, and
on the other that special act is
necessary before they become la
Bile.
Women should be made eli
gible for jury service with GER
tain necessary restrictions. Her
presence in the court room, in
the courthouse, on the juries of
the State will be uplifting. Her
cleansing" influence will be felt
here as it has been elsewhere.

Chairman Walsh

Seldom has man had ma
tional political gift so closely
within his grasp as did Senator
Walsh, of Montana, chairman of
the Democratic convention.
By his own act Senator Walsh
declined the honor of vice-presi-
dental nominee. Ralph Jones
tells this incident in the follow
lowing:
The Democratic Vice-Presiden-
tial nomination was literally
hurled at Senator Thomas J.
Walsh as the Democratic nation
al convention concluded its choice
of man for President and
sought eagerly to end the whole
business by completing the tick
ct.
With an abrupt rap of his
gavel and shout that the con-
vention was adjourned, the
famous oil investigator lodged
the gift and dismissed a horde
of delegates who were demand
ing Overwhelmingly that he be
the running mate of John w.
Eavis.
The gentleman from Mon
tana is needed in the Senate. He
will doubtless render the nation
greater service there than in the
vice-presidential chair.
AS long as Walsh remains in
the Senate, boodlers in Washing
ton will traverse their dark and

cup TO THE HIGHEST
DEMANDS"

In John William Davis of West
Virginia the Democratic Party
has candidate for President who
measures up to the highest dc
mands of character and ability. IL
is true that the most advanced
and uncompromising of the lib
erals in the Democratic ranks
have urged against him that he
is counsel for interests with which
J. P. Morgan is concerned. Il
was not his legal employment or
his affiliations that won the
Democratic nomination or John
w. Davis, it was the respect and
admiration that his character,
his public service and his. accom-
plishments have commanded from
leading and representative men
the country .over.-Little Rock

THE "BEsT EQUIPPED MAN

They were insufferably long
doing it, but the Democrats in
convention assembled finally
chose for the party's Presidential
nomination the ablest and best
equipped man of all who figured
in the 1913 ballots. John w. Da-
Wis is an eminent lawyer He has
very high regard of the Ameri-
can Constitution. He does not
believe in exposing the Federal
courts more than they are already
exposed to the popular passions
and prejudices of today. Mr.
Davis is conservative enough and
still progressive enough to carry
the solid South and a generous
fringe of states outside Of IT,
He ought to enlist the support of
the more conservative wing of the
party in the East.-Minneapolis

SAYS THE CONVENTION
REDEEMED ITSELF

The nomination of John w. Da-
Wis for President on the Demo-
cratic ticket was the very best
possible selection that could have
been. 1t carries with it a tone
and dignity that no other nominee
could possibly have given. On
this nomination the convention,
in part redeemed itself from the
personal, selfish wrangling Of the
many ambitious and unfit candi-
dates. The country can feel per-
fectly assured of a sane efficient,
careful and constitutional admin.
stration should John w. Davis be
elected.-Denver Post.

Introducing Endocrin-
ologist

The ordinary alienist, the
paronoiaist, the temporary aber-
rationist and such will be among
the also-rans, while the endo-
crinologist will carry the handi-
cap in the Leopold-Loeb murder
case.
The endocrinologist is a pro-
fessional investigator of and
profound believer in glands.
You are a giant or a dwarf, fat
or lean. active or lazy, moral or
immoral, normal or pervert ac-
cording to your glands and the
way they function.
One of your glands may be
so abnormally developed and
function so strenuously as to vir-
tually relieve you Of responsible
ty for will-power and, hence,
make you unaccountable for
your acts.
1t is admitted that the young
Chicago murderers are above
the average of intelligence of
youths of their age; that they
had good homes, and good citi-
zens as parents; that they had
plenty Of money; that they had
not the slightest enmity toward
the boy, Franks. whom they
slew in cold blood.
All the ordinary motives for
crime were absent. Thrill
was their object, and glands are
at the seat Of thrills. In other
words endocrinology will be
called in to diagnose the boys as
diseased, not criminal.
1t seems to be a new line of
defense for the hanging" of
juries, even if not of murderers.

Women Jurors

Jury service is one of the sa-
cred duties of every citizen.
Though irksome and unplcas-
ant, it is nevertheless a necessary
service-a privilege.
The professional juror" is
menace and is unsafe. AS rule
he is an applicant for jury serv-
ice because he is too lazy or too
cid to earn a dollar otherwise.
Either eof these reasons is suf-
hcient TO render his service inn
practical, to say the least.
But for the Sinking of jury
duty by those better qualified to
serve, the professional Juror
would not exist.
After % years service on the
bench, Judge I. A. Littlepohn
expresses the desire to see wom-
en- qualified for jury duty in
Georgia. The Atlanta Journal
quotes Judge Littlejohn as say
ing; j
"My experience with women in
political affairs has always been
pleasant" Judge Littleiohn de-
clared, "and I feel certain that
they will make fair-minded and
capable jurors. AS women have
legal rights equal to mems in 9th

- they should be excluded from
