JURY SECRETS.
A ralher provincial idea seems
to be growing up in Ibis vicinity
to the effect, that it rs indelicate
for a juryman to discuss anything
in regard lo whal occurs in a jury
room Perhaps that idea may pre
vail lo a greater <>j' less extent
than in some few oilier places,
hut it is quite out of harmony
with t in* general custom in I In*
larger number of communities
throughout lhe Moiled Stales.
In sound policy, there is seldom
any good reason why the altitude
of any juryman should be a secret
after the jury lias completed its
labors. Juries and jurymen are
not in their relation to a ease,
acting in their private capacity,
nor are they without moral re
sponsibility lo the community.
There are, of course, excellent
reasons why the deliberations of
a jury should be in private, but
IheVe are seldom good reasons
That, following their discharge as
jurymen, (he position taken by a
juryman should be regarded as
something of which he is asham
ed.
This is not intended as any j
criticism of any jury or any jury
man, but it is intended merely as'
a correction of an erroneous im
pression. The average juryman
would usually prefer to have the
facts known as to his own alti
tude, and there is no reason why
he should consider himself bound
lo keep secrecy, either lo his own
or his fellows. Jury service should
be regarded as a high public duty,
sometimes requiring courage
from which no good citizen should
shrink.—Juneau Dispatch.

A Japanese cabinet job is

The Turks have been lighting
hard, long and determinedly, but
not hard enough, long enough or

Madero cannot be accused of
slowness, no mailer what else he

in the City of Mexico, too rapid

It. was an unlucky fate that ov

A theatrical press agent was

A scientific note says that two
cups of coffee contain enough

but few of us would care to waste

President-elect Wilson probly
knows his political history well
enough to understand that Col.
Bryan is accustomed both to po

The political gossips in New

It i- a fact that Valdez beer ig a food and not a tonic.
Ask any doctor you know. Valdez beer aids digestion. Use
it a few times with your meals and you’ll find we’re right.
If you drink beer you should use Valdez beer in preference to
others. First, because of its unquestionable high quality.
Second, because it is a home product; brewed in your home
town and all who are interested in the growth and prosper
ity of Valdez should patroniz home products.
