A WORD ABOUT JURIES.
Too often people look upon jury service as a
right or a privilege, like that of voting for instance,
to which every person is entitled. That is not the
cute at all. Jury service is a duty that Is owed
thoEC win have n right to have their disputes or their
ruilt or Innocence of crime determined by a Jury.
It is like the duty to render military or police service
when the public safety requires it, to give aid in time
of flood or conflagration, and many other extra-1
ordinary service;'' to the public. Like other publicj
service duties it is one that should be required of j
those are fitted to render the necessary service.'
The public good is not served, however, if people]
ure put on the jury who are not fitted for the service.
Incompetents on juries add to the public expense and
that of litigants, retard rather than further the cause
of Justice and is not recognition of any one’s right
or privilege.
Jury Haiti should lie comprehensive, including
those from all the walk* of life and the different
ircalities of the territory to be served. In short, they
should Ik- representative of the various communities.
Hut they should be selected just as wo select people
for other : entices -because they are fitted to serve.
Th$ taking of a voting list in full for a jury list,
particularly where people have been so thoughtless
or absurd as not Lo provide a literacy test for voters, j
is neither scientific nor prudnt, and it serves neither
Justice nor any other good cause, unless it bo to
show up the rediculou.-ness of a refusal to enact!
an election litrracy test law.
it also is very proper to take into account other
. things in choosing juries, if there are enough people
from whom to choose those to serve without calling
on those whose health or whose services on the jury
would cause injury to some other public service or (
important work or cause undue hardship it in a
recognized proper use of discretionary authority to]
excuse people from service. The Umpire favored the!
clause in the law permitting women to claim the
right df exemption from Jury service. It did so
because it believes that there arc enough people in
Alaska to give every litigant his right to jury serv
ice without requiring women to serve on Jurle3
tgainut their will.
FARMERS REPUDIATING POLITICAL
PANACEAS.
Farmers of the country are repudiating the fan-1
tattle panaceas put forth its cure-alls for rural'
economic ills by politicians seeking an issue by '■
which to win office through farmers' votes. Follow-!
ing the action of the Southwestern wheat growers,!
who, deciding that the troubles of the wheat farmers
are economic rather than political, presented a pro- i
grant to bo worked cut by the farmers themselves,!
the Directors of the Kansas Wheat Growers Associa-1
lion have adopted resolutions denouncing grain!
price-fixing as a substitute for the law of supply and I
demand and condemning the proitosed Government.
purchase of the wheat surplus ut a price to cover'
the cost. They declare a special session of Congress
to that end would be folly.
Farming ha-- been an occupation too long and too
many farmers have been educated in economies for
them as a whole to suldt to stampeding processes over
transient matters for any considerable length of time.
hike those engaged in American industries, Am
erican farmers need more foreign markets and cheap
er production at home. They do not need the relief
of artificial props but the removal of arttilciul
obstacles.
COOLIDGE BELIEVES IN PROSPERITY EOR
BUSINESS AND INDUSTRY.
President Coolidge is not among those who believe!
Ihat business prosperity is a sign that the proflts
or production are not being equitably distributed or!
wisely and beneficially used and that the remedy re-1
quires the destruction of the prosperity. He is not a'
Socialist in any sense of the word. Speaking while!
Governor of Massachusetts, on some of these questions,
and meeting them as is his custom, fairly and square
ly, he said:
We have had many attempts at regu
lation of industrial activity by law. Some
of it has proceeded on the theory that those
who enjoyed material prospertiy used it for
wrong purposes, such prosperity should be
limited or abolished. That is us sound as
it would be to abolish writing to prevent
forgery.
He have established here a democracy
on the principle that all men arc created
equal. It is our endeavor to extend equal
blessings to all. it can be done approxi
mately if we establish the correct standards.
We are coming to see that we are dependent
upon commercial and industrial prosperity,
m.t only for the creation of wealth, but for
the calving of the great problem of tho
distribution of wealth. There is just one
condition on which men can secure em
ployment and a living, nourishing wage, for
whatever they contribute to the enterprise,
be it labor or capital, and that condition is
that someone make a priUt by it. That is
the sound basis for the distribution of‘Wealth
gad the otiljc one. U cannot be done by
I
law, It cannot be done by public ownership,
it cannot be done by Socialism. When you
deny the right to a profit you deny the right
of a reward to thrift and industry.
* * * The law that builds up the people
is the law that builds up industry. What
price could the millions, who have found the
inestimable blessings of American citizen
ship around our great industrial centers,
after coming here from lands of oppression.
afTord to pay those who organized those in
dustries? Shall we not recognize the great
service they have done to the cause of hu
manity Have we not seen what happens to
industry, to transportation, to all commercial
activity which we call business when profit
fails? Have we not seen the suffering and
misery which it entails upon the people?
Let us recognize the source of these
fundamental principles and not hesitate to
nssert them. Let us frown upon greed and
selfishness, but let us condemn envy and
unchuritableness. Let us have done with
misunderstands, let us strive to realize the
dream of democracy by a prosperity of in
dustry that shall mean the prosperity of the
people, by a strengthening of our material
resources that shall mean a strengthening of
our character, by merchandising that has
for its end manhood, and womanhood, the
ideal of American citizenship.
Tlie Argentine prize fighter says the correct pro
nunciation of F-i-r-p-o ■ is "Fear-paw.” It is not
likely that Jess Willard will attempt to dispute
that.
That Ford ascendency in the straw voting iaj
probably cooling the ardor of La Follette for a
Third Party. That is worth something.
It ought not to ho difficult for President Coolidge
to view the coal situation from the standpoint of the
consumers. lie is from Massachusetts.
Making a Newspaper.
(Prince Rupert News.)
A newspaper is not a charitable Institution. It is
established for the double purpose of serving the
i community and providing a means of livelihood for
the owners. When it ceases to do the latter, the
! former service also fails.
The cost of printing a newspaper and providing
j a proper foregin and local news service is very large,
.lust now the cost of publishing the Daily News is
i about four thousand dollars a month. To meet this
! lost, the subscription price is hardly noticeable. The
| income is derived from soiling advertising to national
; advertisers, local merchants and those who promote
entertainments, public meetings, fairs, theatrical per
| romances and other gatherings of public or semi
| public nature.
In every newspaper office there is constant dif
ference of opinion between the management and
| those who want advertising published without coat
in the news columns. Also there Is a constant
stream of matter that comes through tlie mail that is
really advertising and that it Is attempted to get In
as nows. This finds is way into the waste paper
basket.
The management of the newspaper judges whether
mutter is news or advertising. News is published
free of cost. Advertising matter must be paid for if
published. It is only by guarding carefully against
tree publication of advertising in the news columns
that a newspaper can exist. At the most the margin
between profit and loss is very email.
!
Literacy Test Must Prevail.
(Ketchikan Chronicle.)
i Hi ports come from the great State of Now York
| that they are making the literacy test more rigid j
, there as a qualification for voting. In Alaska it is
i not necessary to be able to read in order to vote,
| the Legislature, made up in many instances of mem
j hers who were given liberal support by a lot of illit
erates, having rejected the literacy bill. Thus, the
difference between Alaska and New York.
Anyone contemplating running tin November,
: 1 !*24, for the Legislature of Alaska, will be required
I to state emphatically before election his position on
a literacy bill. lie will be compelod to choose be
| tween support of those able to read nnd write and
' those who do not know "B" from “Bull’s foot.”
The feat of Patrick Murphy, 102 years old, in
climbing two-thirds of the distance to the summit of
Pike's Peak, doubtless wil stand as one of the most
amazing exploits of this day and age. When it is
recalled that ninety-five per cent, of the people who
attempt tliut trying climb turn back before it is
finished, it is not surprising that the Colorado Springs
cintenarian found it beyound his physical powers._
(Seattle Times.)
Senator George H. Moses says he declined a salary
of $40,000 to stay in the Senate at $7,600 because
the fun he is having is worth $32,600 a year. It may
he worth that to the Senator, but unkind critics
will remark that from the public point of view the
Senator's fun is entirely too expensive.—(New York
Post.)
William H. Anderson says he regards being
indicted for grand larceny in the first-degree and
forgery in the third-degree as a medal of honor,
and wo suppose if they prove it on him he’ll con
sider it a halo.—(Ohio Stac Journal.)
Secretary of Labor Davis is right in believing that
the choice of aliens who are to come to America
should be made on the other side and not here.
Moreover, it should be a qualitative, not merely a
quantitative selection, and it should be made by our
own gents.— (Ketchikan Chronicle.)
I Man In Chicago has whiskers 17 feet long. Now

the ring. We suggest that he put a brick under it.
Cox, McAdoo, Davis and a number of other boys ure
