"What woman wants to sorvo on a jury, nnywny7" Vos, It was ono of tho women whoso names appoared In tho Argus last wcok among thoso drawn ior Jury duty tor 1022 In Malheur coun ty who wns spooking. It was plain ly ovldont that "sho did not want to sorvo." It was emphatically plulu that Mrs. Roprosontativo iiinuoy from Astoria, tho mothor of tho wo man Jury law, was not popular with hor. Far from It. In fact If Mrs. Roprosontativo Kinney woro to run for offlco In Malheur county right now sho would bo handicapped by tho opposition of a largo number ot Ontario women who aro decldodly averse to being thrust into full measure of tho duties of a citizen. Nor wns this woman a solitary ob Joctor. So far as tho Argus has boon nblo to got In touch with or hoard about tho opinions ot tho wo men of Ontario who woro callod, thoy wero all peovoa.

Tho men wero united In exprosslng opinions of tho law. Thoy woro for It to a man. They wantea h in mtv. agreed that It was mandatory that tho women servo; not only that, but thoy socurod the confirmatory ad vise" of sevoral legal lights of tho city. That settled It with somo of the womon, and caused a number to set tholr heads together to plan ro vengo. This Is what somo ot ahem plan on. doing.

And anyway, another bunch de clare, If tho men want us to take tholr old Jury work, why we will, and thoy can hustle tor their meals and look after tho tamlly.
