Mixed juries are now becoming the usual thing in ‘courts of the land, and without supplemental legis-| scion embarrassing situations are bound to arise. Es-| pecially after the court has instructed the jury “ placed it in charge of the sheriff or the bailiff with | the caution thet under no circumstance is the jury to} be separated from the moment it leaves the court room to consider the case in hand until it returns to announce the verdict. 4 As a tsual thing jury rooms are cheoziess places. They have few, if any comforts. This, upon the old| theors that such conditions would induce prompt) verdicts. It often occurs that juries require as long as forty- eight hours to reach a verdict or to determine that a verdict is impossible. Meanwhile the jury must not be separated. Formerly, when men only served upon juries, the officer in charge knew what to do when it came time to tuck the jury into bed for the night. It is with extreme hesitancy that we inquire just what is the etiquette in these days of mixed juries? A hotel sample room with twelve cots and an easy chair for the bailiff with all doors locked and win- dows secured has been the prevailing style. Now we! can only imagine backing a Pullman car into the} courthouse lobby as the best means of observing thé| propricties. Yes there must be some change in the laws and the court’s regulations respecting the housing of \ju- ries or there will be a lot of talk in the sewing cir- cle and the woman’s club. 0 : KEEPING IT AT HOME. There has been much spoken and written from the text “Keep tho money at home.” The subject is one entirely worth consideration, and its practice in the concrete is to be desired much above mere theoriz- ing. It can to certain extent be inculcated in the minds of those who love their state and community and they will to the extent of their ability patriotic- ally practice it in their business; but the thoughtless ones so greatly outnumber the patriotic ones as to nullify the general good effect. There is nothing unfair or selfish in the proposition that the state from which large quantities of raw ma- terials are obtained that a fair return should be ren- dered that state for them. Neither is it to be consid- ered a matter of effrontery to insist that when a com- munity is exploited in a business or commercial way that an opportunity be afforded to somewhat even up on transactions. The principle of reciprocity is a well-established and most valuable one in the gen- eral affairs of life, and found to be of mutual advan- tage to those applying it. If concerns who have their locations elsewhere and use Wyoming strictly as a field for profit cannot see that they are under moral if not legal obligation to do their part in return then there should be statutes compelling such action. For instance, if a New York life insurance com-| pany comes into Wyoming soliciting business the pre- miums for which are taken back to New York or else- where for final investment is permitted to do these things in competition with a home company that loans or invests its surplus in Wyoming it becomes an act of unfairness to the home company and should be remedied by laws which would compel the foreign company to do its duty In similar manner by the state and its people, for the franchise to do business within the state granted it. The same is true of other out of state financial, in- vestment, oil and other concerns who come into the state, garner the wealth of the people and depart | without adequate’ return for the privilege. “Keeping the money at home” has a very useful} ring to it. It may not be popular with outsiders who would avoid its enforcement, but when a people do not look after their own business interests they will find many willing and busy friends from a distance doing it for them—but al: s at their cost. Ce TAX RETURNS ARE CONFIDENTIAL. The conferees on the tax revision bill did wisely in sttiking out the provision giving congress authority to call upon the treasury department for income tax returns of corporations and individuals. The govern- ment has gone quite far enough with interference in private affairs. The treasury department, with the co-operation of the department of justice, has ample authority to see that every man and every corporation makes an honest return of his taxable income. The responsibility for the faithful performance of that duty should be left with the department where it is lodged. It is quite possible that the treasury depart- ment will not in all casés secure complete returns and collect all the taxes legally due, but there is no likeli- hood that constant inquiries from congress and de- mands for inspection of the records would result in any material increase in collections or in expedition of | the work. There is delay and confusion enough| already. But ide from that phase of the matter, the in- come tax returns should remain inviolate except for the single question of their accuracy. If congress or @ congressional committee could and did call for in- come returns, and made them subject to committee inspection, there would be no further possibility of an dual or corporation keeping his business affairs petition is always keen. Rivals to extreme measures to ascer- s of their competitors. Infor- j lution, Veterans’ Bureau act, immigration act, ness in the usual w: are a lot of successful men in the United States have seen the day when it would have been disastrous for them if there had been publicity of their finan- cial difficulties. Given a fair opportunity, they pulled through the emergency and continued to be useful factors in the industrial life of their communities. What American industry needs today is a little less interference from the government—particularly from bureaucrats who may never have conducted any con- siderable business of their own but who take delight in trying to tell private citizens how to run their affairs. SS Ee ANSWERING AUTOCRACY. “The conference is doing well. How would it do to let it legislate for the United States in the place of s fool congress?” This quotation is from the Washington Herald, and if the American system of | government needs defense the “fool congress” is the plece to begin. If the Sixty-seventh congress is a fool congress then every other congress has been a fool congress, our government is a fool government, and the people are fools for using their votes to clothe with power 1.95 | the individuals who compose the congress. A review of what the ixty-seventh congress accomplished be- fore the adjournment of the first session on Novem- ber 23 is sufficient refutation of the scandalous re- mark of the Herald. One hundred and thirty-six laws were enacted in the six months of the first session, and scores of oth- ers are pending in various stages legislation, ready to be taken up again when the second session con- venes on December 5. The more important bills en- acted into law are as follows: Internal revenue act, budget act, emergency tariff extension act, peace reso- anti- beer act, $25,000,000 farm loan act, navy and army | eppropriation acts, grain futures act, packers’ control act, war finance agricultural loan act, $75,000,000 state highways aid act, maternity act, shipping board act, export aid act, cable control act, Indian bureau act. This program of legislation was prepared and en- acted into Jaw by congressmen and senators, each in- dividual of whom was selected and sent to Washing- ton by the popular vote of his. constituency. Students d| of democratic government the world over have pro- nounced the American system of popular elections the most nearly perfect that human ingenuity can con- trive. Every member of the house of representatives and of the senate knows perfectly well that if he does not guide his actions and votes according to the will of the majority of the people whom he represents he will be retired from office at the next election and an- other man sent to Washington who will do their bid- ding. That means that the legislation enacted by con- gress is, in fact, the will of the people written into law. It is unfortunately true that certain other papers in the United States permit themselves to make ill- considered reflections upon congress similar to that quoted from the Washington Herald. Did they but realize it, they are attacking directly our form of gov- ernment, and giving aid and encouragement to the various evil forces within our borders who are bent on wrecking the Constitution and substituting a rad- ical regime more or less similar to the Russian order. The people in the United States have always ruled and always will rule. The present! congress is of their own choosing, and future congresses will be likewise. There is no surer way to lower the standard of the body that makes our laws.than to instill into the minds of the people the idea that the present con- gregs is a “fool congress,” and that a radical change is necéssary. Congressmen and senators today are statesmen, lawyers and business men who have suf- ficiently gained the respect and esteem of their fellow men to win an election to Washington. There can be no change except for the worse. ae TOO MUCH TALK. “Instructions have been given to all state prohibi- tion directors and enforcement officers,” announces the Washington Post, “that they are hereafter to de- vote their time and energy exclusively to their-offi- cial duties and not to the making of speeches or lob- bying for dry legislation. This warning comes dircct from the secretary of the treasury and the commis- sioner of internal revenue, and is of such a positive character that no intelligent person can fail to under- stand its significance. Prohibition officials are expected to attend strictly to business and stop propaganda work. Their duty is to enforce the law as it is and not to influence public sentiment or shape legislation. “The matter came to the attention of high treasury officials through protests from various parts of the country and from senators and representatives against the activities of certain prohibition agents. One gen- eral agent in Pittsburgh delivered an address before a church meeting, in which he severely criticized the federal court of that district for not inflicting as se- vere penalties upon certain violators of the Volstead act as he thought should .have been imposed. The federal grand jury took cognizance of the published reports of this speech and conducted an investigation, as a result of which a presentment was made to the court denouncing the agent as unfit to hold his of- fice and suggesting that steps be taken to punish him for contempt of court. The court, however, took no action further than to forward the presentment to Washington. “The instructions issued with a view to quieting the propagandist activities of dry officers and command- ing them to give their time and energies to their offi- cial duties are entirely justified and are in the inter- est of good public service. They should apply to all connected with the administration of the prohibition laws, from the prohibition commissioner himself down to the warehouse guards. Efficient enforcement qf the law calls for their exclusive attention to their du- ties, and they should be made to understand that their allegiance is to the government and not to any or- ganization, wet or dry. The courts are quite com- petent to deal with offenders according to law with- out any advice or criticism from department agents. “Similar instructions could be given to other gov- ernment employes with good effect. Some of them are addicted to the public-speaking habit to such an extent that their frequent absences from Washington are noticeable, their duties being ieft to subordinates while they are away. This is a splendid time for gov- ernment officers to set an example of diligence.” 0 LOYALTY TO THE LAWS. You can always turn back to Lincoln for inspira- tion, not only for guidance in public affairs but in all affairs of life. In this day of lack of respect for the law it is refreshing to re-read this master on the sub- ject: “Let every American, every lover of liberty, every well wisher of posterity, swear by the blood of the Revolution never to violate in the least particular the laws of the country, and never to tolerate their viola- tion by others. “As the patriots of ’76 did to the Declaration of Independence, so to the support of the Constitution and the laws let every American pledge his life, his property and his sacred honor. “Let every one remember that to violate the law is to trample on the blood of the fathers and tear the charter of his own and his children’s liberties.” ESC RITEE At the present time let us respectfully suggest, that if you must expose so much front at least wear goloshes and keep your feet dry.

The open- ing was well attended, and was most favorably commented upon. Although no new line was launched, many new and interesting changes in details were introduced. For instance, the skirt of marked irregularity of length is re- placed by skirts of even, rounded length, while the long sleeve, wide at the hands and set in a deep armhole, has given place to leg o’mutton sleeves, set in at the normal. The double waist-line ts also much em- phasized. Sults are shown with belted jackets, in 24 and in 26-Inch length. Frequent: ly two belts are used, one at the nor- mal, 2nd the second placed at the ex- treme lower edge of the garment. Jackets contrasting with the skirt In color and in material are well repre- sented. Suit skirts average from eight to ten inches off the ground, are moderately full, and very flat at the back. The two types emphasized are the wrapped skirt with the goods draped widthwise around the figure, and the two-tier tunic skirt. In all skirts there is a one-sided movemént. for sults consist of inter- laced bands of the fabric to form flat. braid, straps of the fabric and em- broideries of heavy silk chainstitching in very simple designs. Coats are in full length and are made in both belted and unbelted styles. Ms Coatsleeves have the deep armhole, and are very ample through the center, taper slightly to the wrist, and have fancy cuffs. Long s , or muffler effects, are prominent, used both on sports and aternoon coats. Trimmings looped silk fringe are also conspicuous, and are used. on col- lars and cuffs of afternoon coats in alk crepe. Quantities of three-piece cape cor- tumes are shown, the capes lined with or trimmed with the same material of which the dress is made. For instance one of the most effective models, called “Mastic,” was in putty-colored crepe yecrgette embroidered in nelftone. The dress was in chemise style, and the cape, which formed part of the cos- turse, was in black serge trimmed with wide shaped band of the crepe em- yroidered in pelf-tone with an in Former Theater Owner Arrested for Conspiracy DENVER, Dec. 6.—J.
