Prince Henry, younger brother of the Crown
Prince, gets into the newspapers by falling from
his horse as it goes over the fence quite in the
accustomed MANNER of his illustrious brother.
We do wish the Royal Family would achieve a
little originality.

Statistics show that very few gunner ever go
to jail. About the biggest chance they run is

The Pioneer Press says:
Exports of prunes have increased
16 per cent year with England the best
customer. American boarders will un-
derstand better what all this talk
about the British "dole" means.
The Press might have changed that last to
the dolefu British.

1t was reported last week that Patrolman
Frank x. Kort of the Minneapolis police force
was suspended for ten days. His offense was the
tagging of Mayor Leach's automobile as it stood
parked in the restricted area at the University
stadium. The incident really indicates some
what exaggerated punishment for the simple
doing of an official duty. We really hope the re-
port of the affair is newspaper mistake
otherwise it points to certain undesirable traits
in the character Of Minneapolis mayor.

According to Chief Justice Taft possible jur-
ors should be examined for their Intelligent and
emotional quotations"-their I DIS and DIS as
it were. Pretty soon sitting on jury will be
d
lege or university and perhaps the pre-jury ex-
animation is quite as necessary as the pre-col-
lege. At any rate most people will agree with
Mr. Taft that the thing which has done most to
discredit the American jury is the abuse of the
challenge And this challenge harks back to
the preconceived opinion of the juror-an opin-

Fines for non-voters is asked by st. Paul
womens organization. 1t is true that dis
gracefully small percentage of American men and
women vote, but the reason for their failure to
vote, which is, in most cases, lack of interest,
or ignorance of the issues involved, is even more
dsgraceful. What would it profit the Nation
to have 100 per cent ballot cast if the voters
were to remain as ignorant of the questions in
volved as many of them are now? For such
persons to vote would be farcical. The pity of
the matter is, not that they fail to vote, but
that they are too Indifferent to the welfare of
their city, county, state or Nation to inform
themselves concerning the political issues and
economic problems of the times. One intelli-
gent voters opinion is worth ten times the opin-
ion of ten unintelligent voters
