IS ~. CIVIC CONSCIOUSNESS
OR MERELY RESENTHENT2

The old credo that jury service is the
most unpleasant of democracy's duties.
and so the most avoided, seems to have
been given the lie in New York. For
10 years the women of New York have
battied for the right TO serve on juries.
Now they have won their fight, and are
rushing to register for jury duty. More
than that, they are attending organized
jury schools, to learn all there is to learn
about sitting in judgment on the trou-
bles of fellow beings.
Rudyard kipling said that the Col
onel's lady and Judy O'Grady were Sis
ters under the skin, but could he or any
one else have said the same about New
York ladies and their counterparts in
Imperial Valley, or almost anywhere
else? For that matter, we cannot help
wondering If the men of New York are
as anxious for jury duty-which actually
Is a duty to the community-as are the
women.
More power to the ladies in New York
if they keep up the good work. It will
be disappointing, although not very sur
prlslng, If their zeal wanes when jury
service ceases to be new thing to them.
1t is up to the ladies now to prove that
they were not fighting for jury service
merely because it was something denied
toathem, but because it is a service every
man and woman citizen owes his or her
community. Sincerely, we hope that they
do prove it was not just resentment
against denial of their rights that led
the women to clamor for jury duty.
( If they do prove that they actually
wanted to participate in service for the
common good, even though it is unpleas-
ant service, that will be an encouraging
sign indeed for democracy as a whole.
Perhaps, after all, the women will
show US the way.
