q WITH OUR WOMEN--What the
.MM Leading Jurists Say of Women Juries

young men, while their eyes are
open to the tricks Of fascinating and
designing young women, who may
impose on the men jurors.
A jury composed entirely of wOm-
en- does not appeal to Mr.. Wickham,
as he prefers a mixed jury of men
and women, and finds that so cOmpOs-
ed, it is likely to return a just YER
dict. In conclusion he states, con the
whole, I believe that there is no err
ious objection to women serving on
juries and that the efficiency Of the
jury service in this state has not
been impaired by their having been
permitted to so serve"
o @ @
Until of late, juries have been eX-
clusively male, to the manifest adj
vantage, rs admitted by Mr.. Wick
ham, of the woman criminal if young
and beautiful, while children and
youths were not dealt with so gently.
This, of course, is a convincing argu-
ment in favor of mixed juries, made
up Of both men and women, and it
would be well if these were requir-
ed to pass an intelligence test before
being drawn to serve.

It was my good fortune to be part
of the audience in a Montana court,
when a famous case was tried. The
attorneys for the prosecution and
defense were eloquent speakers, one
of them an orator of national re-
putation. What interested me most
in the trial was not the argument OF
the lawyer, but the manner in which
he paced back and forth in front
of the twelve jurors, apparently ad-
dressing each individually, in order
to gain their enforced attention. That
it was enforced was made plain by
the fact of some of them nodding
when not faced by the lawyer.
They were a queer looking lot
those jurors, and evidently not above
the average in intellect; nor were
they remarkable for their good looks
1 never saw an aggregation Of twelve
hOmlier men. A few women, ever
plain ones, would have rendered the
group more attractive, and I am sure
they could, and would have stayed
awake whether personally appealed
by the lawyer, or not.

They have an undenominational
community house in connection with
the Methodist church of Scobey of
which that town has reason to be
proud. 1t has a gymnasium, which is
also used as an assembly room, with
a stage at one end. Under the stage
is a kitchen, that can be converted
into a dressing room when plays are
enacted. The kitchen is so arranged
that food can be easily served from
there. A recreational director is en-
ployed, and paid by subscriptions Civ
en-, not alone by residents of Scobey,
but by jewellers in adjacent towns.
There is a rest room, with a couch,
at least one crib, and a library of Sc
eral hundred volumes. The assembly
room is used for entertainments of
various kinds. The community house
has a shower bath for the children,
and a manual training room in the
basement. Scobey deserves common

One would not expect flower shows
to be given in Butte, where it is
said there are nine months of win
ter, and three months Of spring; yet
I can testify from personal Observa-
ton, that there r many fine gard
ems in that city. Everyone who has
visited Columbia Gardens has ex-
claimed at the display Of flowers
there, both on the grounds and with
in the greenhouses. Now it seems that
the city has an annual rose festival as
there are said to be thousands OF
roses successfully grown there.
1 can recall the time when it was
thought neither fruit nor vegetables
could be grown in Montana, except in
one or two favored localities, this
being a part of what was then known
as the American Desert. It was only
by experimentation that this belief
proved to be a fallacy. Now the
flower lovers are discovering the pos
sibility of growing roses even under
such climatic discouragements as the
altitude of Butte presents.

I was not surprised to read the
other day, that the Chicago police
are finding it difficult to enforce
the curfew law. They make mum
erous mistakes because of the dress
of women, which gives no clue tt
their age. All children there of II
years or under must be off thu
streets by 10 o'clock. The police tr!

to distinguish between women o

not confined to Chicago; it main
tains wherever there is a curfew law
in Montana, or elsewhere.
Women in these United States ar
being awakened to the danger of non
observance of law, and they are ad
