is TRIAL BY JURY ON TRIAL?
Public Service Magazine)

Trial by jury was once regarded
and contended for as as one of the
most vital bulwarks of civil
liberty, 1t was forced into the
organic law of free government
because it was felt that govern
ment could not be altogether free
without it.
Today so wise and conservative
a statesman as Charles Evans
Hughes, once governor of New
York, associate justice of the fed
eral supreme court. nominee for
the presidency and secretary of
state, suggests the abandonment
Of juries in certain cases, leaving
the decision to the court.
The abuse Of justice by juries
has brought many good and wise
citizens to the view that the course
suggested by Mr.. Hughes would be
far better for law and order.
Juries often ignore the most on
vincing evidence of guilt and
acquit proved criminals on the
merest pretext or because Of some
silly emotional appeal or for an
equally untenable excuse Two
Chicago judges have recently re-
primanded juries from the bench
in the severest terms for their de-
liberate violation of their oath in
turning loose mel proved guilty
beyond the least question of
doubt. The eminent Judge Marcus
A. Kavanaugh recently said, in eff
feet, to such a jury:
eff you gentlemen pick up your
daily newspaper and read of a cold
blooded robbery or murder just
consider that you are in part re-
sponsible for it, for by your action
here today in bringing in this ver-
dict of acquittal in the face of the
most conclusive evidence of guilt
you have encouraged crime in a
certain type Of mind"
Perfectly true and logical. So
long as criminals find that they
can escape with a light sentence
or no punishment at all, so long
will they feel free to pursue their
criminal course, even to murder.
Why not?
The citizen who thus contributes
to the commission of crime is not
fit for jury service and yet it is
difficult to keep such men off of
The fact is that men of
weak wills and senses of reason
may have the very best intentions
when they enter the jury box and
find themselves unable to
resist the Establishments of senti-
nent or emotion or whatever 1t is
that blinds so many minds to the
central fact that the business of
4 juror is to regard the law and
evidence as it is revealed to him
Ind act accordingly. There is

Interest in the making of hooked
rugs at home has become very wide
spread during the past few years
since this old art was revived by eX-
tension workers among farm women.
Like several other phases of home
demonstration work, knowing how to
make hooked and also braided and
woven rugs has appealed to the farm
woman from two standpoints: Beau
tificatiOn of her home at moderate
cost, through her newly acquired
craft, and the development of new
source of income when rugs were
made for sale. In almost every cOun-
~ or state fair and in many cOmmu-
nifty or church baZars, hooked rugs
made by farm women are cOnspicu-
ouSly displayed and bring good prices
Through this means spare time is
made to yield extra cash so that in
addition to the rugs they make for
home use the rug makers are enabled
TO buy other furnishings or convent
ences to improve their homes.
In some states county weavers' as
