High Court Decides Rights of Jurors , /> AvS well be ih ■Pi WASHINGTON. —The Supreme court of the United States has decided a case which involved the proper treatment of jurors. Because jurors had been permitted to separate and to read newspapers during a trial the court was asked to set aside the verdict. The case was a conviction for murder at military barracks in tho state of Washington, where the jury had been allowed to be present while counsel argued about the ad mission of alleged confessions as evi dence. The Supreme court holds, in an opinion written by Justice Holmes, that the presence of the jury during the argument was not wrong, and that the members might rightly read newspapers and need not be kept together as a body. The decision upsets the common practise of trial courts. In important cases, notably those for murder, jurors are kept under surveillance, almost as prisoners. In their selec tion their intelligence is questioned and knowledge of current events made ground for challenge. Then they are marched and and from the court room after the fashion of a chain gang in custody of an officer.

In theory jurors are ministers of justice, a part of the court. They are chosen as honest men from tho worthy citizens, and they serve not as suspects, but as honorable officials. They lose no priv ileges as members of the community when they are called to assist the judge by rendering a verdict. Experi ence shows the need of guarding jurors from tampering and sinister approach, but this must be done with out sacrificing their liberty. That rural juror had much sense on his side when he asked: "If we can't read the papers and must be kept to gether 'incommunicado' why should not the judge bo treated in the same way?" The tribunal of final resort decides that jurors do not cease to be freo citizens and do not leave their con sciences at home when they enter tho box. If they are fit for their duties at all they can be trusted to read pa pers and listen to lawyers and they need not be herded all tho while in a mass while a case Is on. The Supreme court thus gives its influence in favor of proper privileges and courteous treatment to the picked men who are summoned to help hold steady the scales of justice Often jury service is irksome and it I cannot be wise to add to its hardships : beyond what is necessary. The sys | tem is a vital part of the defenses of j society and of property. names. Olive oil labeled Lucca haß been found by the pure-food inspec tors coming from Greece and from Spain and from other places aside from Lucca itself. The government is now taking up the question of requiring the numer ous varieties of coffee imported into this country to be honestly labeled. A recent meeting of the pure-food board was held for the purpose of taking testimony regarding the label ing of Brazilian coffee. After hear ing testimony from experts present showing that the practise has growa up of labeling coffee with the name of the port whence it is shipped re gardless of the place of origin, Doctor Wiley stated that an effort would be made to reform this practise, which the importers admitted to be wrong, and that the matter would be proper ly taken up indue form with the government of Brazil through the state department, to the end that the Brazilian coffees, which form by far the greater part of the coffee used in the I'nited States, should be sold under their proper designation. Prominent importers from New York te; titled that Brazilian coffee had beei: shipped to Arabia In order that it might be relmported from Aden as Mocha coffee, and they said that the practise was still in force, al though, as Dr. Wiley remarked, the dealers did not always goto the trou ble of shipping coffee to Arabia for re export before branding it as fine Ara bian coffee. cfssor played the races and his surety paid the fiddler, whose bill amounted to about $ 10,000.

DiOMINCNTPpPLC' NEW SOCIALIST CONGRESSMAN I it'll, Victor L. Berger of Milwaukee, the first So cialist ever elected to Congress, Is the father of l^e l^e ® oc ' a " s ' Party in Wisconsin. It was in his ffl back that the first Socialist meeting in the it/state was held. America's first Socialist con ■fe . gressman was born of well-to-do, middle-class < -' erma, i P aren ' a Austria in 1860. They gave j "vw-JT J ' lim ago college education. He early devel- I /M * flj) °' )e( * radical ideas and sympathies. "All my i *rf • j relati "es believed I would be arrested and exe f cuted," said Berger, "and the worst part of it waa that they believed that I would deserve to ! vfii l ian S e d!" ! The family emigrated to the United States. Voung Berger became a cowpunclier; he did odd I sdri w ,jff//////w/'//// jobs like mending washboilers. He learned the metal polisher's trade, earning as little as $5 a week, and never more than sl2. Often he did not have bread to feed his body or fuel to warm it. He was appointed teacher of German in the Milwaukee high school, and held the position for several years. But it was as editor of the Milwaukee W ahrheit (German) and the Social-Democratic Herald (English) that Berger did his life work. He built up a powerful political organization which gradually crept up until, in April, 1910, it captured the city. Berger seems liked personally in Milwaukee, even among his political enemies. Election night, while the returns were coming in, he walked Into the office of the newspaper that had fought him most bitterly and asked, "How does It stand'.'' "Here, Victor," answered the editor, "take these official returns, look them over and hand them back to me." He married Miss Meta Schlichtlng, a pupil in his German class at the high school. They have three children. There is a romance of Socialism In Berger's love affair. When he fell in love with Miss Schlichtlng he did not propose at once. Instead, he carefully converted her to Socialism before he asked her to be his wife. After suffering from his relatives' bitter oppo sition to his views, Berger had vowed he would never marry a woman who did not agree with him.

Mrs. Grace Wilbur Trout, president of the Chicago Political Equality league, was born and educated in Maquoketa, lowa. Discerning early that certain qualities of voice and mind espe cially fitted her for platform speaking, she spe cialized In that line of study. That she might not be spoiled by instruction, her work was al ways carefully superintended by a highly cul tured and wise mother, who believed that the highest art is to be natural. Her father, a law yer, drilled her on conciseness of expression and often said, "when you talk —say something." Instead of entering the profession for which she had been prepared she married George W. Trout, and a few years later they moved to Chicago. She was at one time president of the To Eugene Ely, the aviator, belongs tho honor of making the first successful flight from the deck of a naval vessel to land in an aero plane. The feat was accomplished from the deck of the scout cruiser Birmingham, which was anchored in Hampton Roads, off Old Point Com fort. When Ely climbed into his machine he faced a biting wind, driving cold rain and occa sional flurries of hail. The blue-Jackets who were holding the machine on the launching platform were ordered to let go, and tho biplane glided gracefully downward, until the wheels and propeller touched the water about 100 feet ahead of the Birmingham. Every spectator breathed hard for a moment when It looked as though the machine would not be able to arise from tho water, but Ely sent It upward by skill- John K Teuer, who has been elected gov ernor of Pennsylvania on iht> Itepublk-aB ticket, «.is one of the best known ball players on the diamond a ►com or more years ago.

While a child there broke out a red soro on the legs just in back of < my knees. It waxed from bad to worse, and at last I saw I had a bad skin disease. I tried many widely known doctors in different cities but to no satisfactory result. The plague both ered me more in warm weather than in winter and being on my leg Joints It made it impossible for me to walk, and I was forced to stay indoors in the warmest weather. My hopes of recov ery were by this time spent. Sleepless nights and restless days made life an unbearable burden. At last I was advised to try the Cuticura remedies [Cuticura Soap, Ointment and Pills] and I did not need more than a trial to convince me that I was on the road of success this time. I bought two sets of the Cuticura Remedies and after these were gone I was a differ ent man entirely. I am now the hap piest man that there Is at least one true care for skin diseases. Leonard A.
