TRIAL BY JURY IS
 BECOMING OBSOLETE

the accused shall enjoy the right 10 a speedy and public trial by an impartial jury" Federal con- sEitution.
 But that's just an old-fashion ed, obsolete doctrine, according to the best legal minds. Trial by jury already has been delegated to the musty region where repose so many sections of i the bill of rightS-sections that
 limit the right of search and
 eeizure and the queer old doc trine that a mans home is his
 castle.
 i Dr. Raymond Moley, professor
 of criminal law at Columbia
 university who recently made a
 study in the west, is authoritT l for the statement that the best l legal minds of the land conSide,
 the jury system obsolete and no longer think of it as a live topic His viewpoint is sustained by
 statistics.
 Intelligent and careful sur veys on crime conducted during the past 10 years" he says, prove definitely that only 8 small percentage of criminal cases get before the jury. Hence the problems now lie in other
 departments.
 "The most recent example or proof of this is the survey on
 crime in Multnomah court (Ore) recently completed, which shows that but II per cent of more than 1700 felony case went to the jury for trial dur ing the past two years. Jury's Part Is Small When it is borne in mind that those eases considered were felonies and that no accounting was made for the number of crimes committed or for arrests on other charges or for other purposes, the part that the jury actually plays is so insignificant
 that it is no longer worthy of serious consideration"
 Trial by jury? One chance in nine.
 Tn lower and in superior courts the selection of the jury list is restricted to certain class cs. Property qualifications in creasingly enter into the scheme Of things. The judges often sug- gest a list of names and from these jurors come.
 As a matter of fact, judges should be the last men heard in this matter. The jury list should be taken from the city directory, not from the list of precinct committee men. Include every. body impartially above the age of 21 and by blind luck select the required number for each term of court. Take the next few pages of the directory for the next term, and so on right thru the book.
 Moreover, any voter should have the right to demand entry on the jury list. No judge ever gave me the privilege to sit on
 , jury. I was born with that
 right, just as he was born to m for office and do what I tell him to do.
 Instead of the judges seek 1 ing to pass on the facts, rather jurors should demand their
 right to pass on the justice of a law and to insist on their right to free an accused if they re-
 gard the law as unjust. That IS
 fundamental right inherent i'll i the citizens of the state: to de-
 eide the justice of their laws and
 act as they desire.

now, Wife ENJOYS
FOODS that USED
TO MAKE HER ILL

"For over five years it seemed like
everything my wife enjoyed eating
would disagree with her. says E.
Murray, 7O6 State Ave-, Kansas City,
Kansas. "She would suffer from indi-
gestion until the gas would crowd
her heart.
I'VE tried a lot of things for her
trouble, some of which relieved the
gas temporarily but upset her
stomach. She did not get any real
help until a friend persuaded me to
get her some Pape's Diapepsin. Now
she eats anything fried things,
onions, pastry; foods that used to
make her ILL. If she feels the least
discomfort a tablet or two of Pape's
Diapepsin makes her comfortable
in a minute"
When thousands like Mr.. Murray
are coming right out in public to
praise Pape's Diapepsin, there seems
no rcason to doubt that it does what
is claimed for it to help people who
suffer from acid-dyspepsia, and the
heartburn. gas, nausea, belching,
headaches, dizziness. ETC., caused by
this common ailment. But those who
wish further proof before buying
may easily have it. The makers agree

must co-ordinate u energies and &C
tivities in an effort to equalize the

DR.. Hall prophesied that the goth
century. will be called the children's
century and that In the coming year
legislation will aim toward providing
every child with home care and
proper atmosphere for its growth and

He called attention to the value OF
child welfare work, showing that it
costs the state about SIS to make q
study of a child with a view to cor
receive treatment, and direction in
the right channels, while this same
child If permitted to become a GRIM

Miss Bertha Palmer, superintendent
Of public instruction, in a welcoming
address, commended the various
groups In their work towards a COM
mon goal. She emphasized the rela-
t.onship between the work carried on
through social service channels and
that carried on in the classroom.

She called attention to the growing
modern consciousness on the part OF
the general public in demanding
specific knowledge and systematic

hope that the inspiration gained from

If You are Over-F Fat Take 2 Grains Gland Food Daily
 Until Slenderness Returns

That is the method modem science has discovered. It is used by doctors the world over. It has changed the whole aspect of obesity. Very many of the slender figures that you envy are due to this new-day help. Single physicians, by its use, are making thousands thin. ] The reason is this: A great cause of excess fat has been found to lie in a weakened gland. Its secretion largely controls intuition. A scant secretion permits too much of our food to form fat. So modern doctors feed that lack ing factor until conditions are set right.
 Marmola prescription tablets embody that gland factor. A world-famous med iieal laboratory prepares them to fit the average case. Each box contains the formula and the reasons for results. So :~ may use this modem treatment at i veey little cost.
