The Senator from Connecticut as
serted that the future of this country
depends upon the preservation of the
rights of the States. He said that his
sole interest was to preserve our
representative form of government
and that in this case the Governor of
Illinois was properly exercising a
State function in appointing Mr..

Walsh Defends Senate Powers.
Senator Walsh of Montana, Demo
crat, argued that the Senate had full
power to deny Col. Smith the oath at
this time and to refer his case to the
privileges and elections committee for
investigation. He insisted that many
presidents upheld this power of the
Senate. He referred particularly to
the sO-called poiygamy cases on Brig
ham and Roberts which came up in the
House and the loyalty cases growing
out of the Civil War. which came
before the Senate.
The House, Senator Walsh said, is
given the same power. no more and
no less, to pass upon the qualifications
of its members which the Constitu-
ton gives the Senate. Yet the House
has decided in the polygamy cases not
to swear in Brigham and Roberts.

Knitting Woman Juror
Makes Brifors Gasp

London.-AIay women knit while
serving as jurors in court?
One woman has already done 1t in
Justice Avory's court, to the conster-
nation of antifeminists, and there
does not seem to be any way to stop
the practice. The middle-aged woman
who established a precedent took off
her hat in businesslike manner when
she entered tie jury box, produced
her knitting and went to work.
She listened attentively to the pro-
ceedings, looking up from time to time
when something interested her espe-
cially. 1t was clear that she was fol-
lowing the proceedings carefully, SO
there was no opening to charge her
with inattention.
On another occasion a woman Juror
passed chocolates to other women who
were serving on the jury. This was
done discreetly and no judicial notice
was taken OF the act
Women witnesses who were waiting
to testify have frequently knitted in
British courts, especially in war times,
and no attempt has ever been made
to StOD this practice
