THE JURY SYSTEM
_
Speaking before the Ketchikan Rotary Club, Judge J.
W. Harding of the First Division observed that &0 per
cent of those drawn upon juries are not qualified to
serve. The Judge hastened to explain that his reference
was not geographical but covered the entire nation.
For some time eminent jurists of the nation have
given forth similar opinions, while at the same time of
fering strong criticisms of the entire structure of enm-,
inal procedure. . |
It would be no surprise to witness a complete met-,
amorphosis in the jury system and in the procedure foi j
hearing criminal actions.
In arraigning the jury system it is necessaiy to i
place the blame where it belongs. It apparently lies in
the fact that there has become embodied in the cnmmal
law a mass of technicalities and supposed safeguards ot
“life, liberty and pursuit of happiness which have in
fact served to defeat these very subjects.
Under these technicalities and mode of procedure
an intelligent man, capable of passing judgement upon
evidence and fact as compared to hearsay and belief, has
difficulty in securing a seat on the average jury. In fact
the least he knows, the fewer opinions on any subject
he holds and the least natural intelligence he displays
better qualifies him for jury duty under the system
than were he a Solon in intellect, mental equilibrium and
honest intent.
The unintelligent jury is the loophole thru which
criminals escape and by the same token the avenue thru
which often innocent men are convicted on unintelligent
bias.
There is a grain of truth in Judge Harding’s obser
vation and he does not stand alone in this respect..
The jury system presupposes a man to be tried by
his peers (equals). Some of the verdicts rendered with
respect to murderers and racketeers seem to confirm
the equality question. On the other hand, the defendant
at the bar often stands high above his jury in intelli
gence, fairness and sense of justice than the 12 men col
lectively who pass upon his case.
THE ROOSEVELTAN POWER
The secret of President Roosevelt’s powder lies more
in his ability to inspire confidence than in super-man
qualities. This comes to light frequently in his statement
that there must be experiments, in which error will be
displayed.
This frankness has served to prepare the nation to
receive the effects of these anticipated errors and inter
prets them into errors rather than substance, which
at its outset, was conceived in deception and offered for
the same purpose.
Like a good mechanic, the President has been loath
to scrap the old engine of state until he has tried re
placements here and there to bring it up to the model de
manded of the day.
All of which is rather disconcerting to technocrats
parlor Socialists, reds and other visionaries, who woulc
abolish what government we have to begin experimeni
en masse instead of along the line's of the man now a
the helm. *
