In the long ago, when lying was still
b comparatively rare emtielllshmeut of
literature mid oratory, a skilled liar
attained tho fame and eminence of u
Htandard Oil magnate or a conspicuous
assassin. To achieve n creditable lie
covered a man with obloquy, odium
and opprobrium of celebrity, Kmliient
liars were rolnted out on the street and
had their pictures In the papers. Cheap,
disgusting cigars were named after
them and the iwllce turned out when
they visited a town. Hut now all that
Is past. A man may lie until he drops
exhausted and no one will notice him.
In line, lying has grown far too com
mon. Liars are as thick as grafters.
It Is well known to most Americans
that thu EnglUli people still sh11 honor
mid parlor and humor ami some other
words with the "u," which has been
dropped In this country. Thu English
editions of American books follow thu
English rather than thu American hpcll
lug, which most Englishmen deride as
nn "Americanism," It must have been
nu Interesting sight to watch the faces
of thu members of tho ltrltlsh Academy
when Professor Skcat, thu noted phllo
gist, addressed them. In championing
thu new simplified spelling reform, ho
friild that the real obstacle lay In the
Ignorance of those who opposed, and
ho spoko with particular scorn of those
who regarded tho omission of tho "u"
Ju word like honor as un Americanism,
ayMviTiTy?yiY?rfavgvSSyyg'rgvSV'
wCSX5
lac such words were spelled without
the "u" beforo Columbus was born. Tho
dual "o" In have, live, solvo and axe
be also mentioned as entirely arbitrary,
and of comparatively recent origin.
There Is much to be said In favor of
Bomo such reform ln court procedure as
that suggested by Judge Ulbbons, thu
well known Chicago Jurist, of limiting
the requirement of a unanimous veidlct
by petit Juries to capital niid felony
easel, mid providing some reasonable
method of abiding In nil civil and minor
criminal causes, by a verdict of a ma
jority of, say, three-fourths of the Jury.
Thero Is force In the suggestion by some
members of tho bar that care should bo
taken that In all cases tho opinions and
arguments of a minority of a Jury shall
have ample, opportunity of being thor
oughly gone over and thrashed out by
tli wholo body, and If that Is assured
there would bo less probability than
now that any substantial Injustice
would ho douo even In felony cases.
Probably every lawyer In active prac
tice will agree that tho ends of Justlco
havo often been defeated or unreason
ably and oppressively delayed, and must
continue so to be under the rulo that
enables ono man to "hang" tho Jury nnd,
at tho best, force tho wholo costly pro
ceeding to be again gono over. In civil
causes tho complaint has long been
mado that the lutermlnablo delays and
Increasing cost of litigation have made
It cheaper to submit to ninny gross
wrongs and exactions than to undertake
to vlmllcato rights In thu courts. For
tho poor man, dependent on his regular
employment, It Is often said that these
delays and expenses amount to prohibi
tion, and thero Is no shadow of doubt
that Uio fact Is responsible for no small
part of tho prevalent discontent with
existing conditions. Tho requirement of
a unanimous verdict In all cases Is
largely resiionslblo for those condttlons.
Unanimity on tho part of a Jury Is a
time-honored requirement, It Is true,
but It Is not nu American Institution.
It came down to us from tho monarch
lit 1 mother country and had ample Jus
tlllcatlou there In thu conditions of
earlier ages. Hut wu should not over
look the fact that unanimity Is not
required for the action of n grand Jury,
which at any time may put any man
lit peril of his life, whllo tho legal con
ditions that were held to make unanim
ity Imperative for trial Juries have
largely passed away In this country, no
far as they ever existed hero. More
over, this Is emphatically and distinct
ively tho laud of tho majority. It may
not be abstractly the best way of deter
mining right, but It Is, on tho whole,
tho best human way yet devised. Wo
determine by It thu most momentous of
our affairs. Often matters of high lin
Iortiinee are determined by n mere
plurality and In all cases a bare ma
jority of ono Is llnal. We have always
acquiesced lu It, and tho cases of real
Injustice under It hnvo been rare, while
we havo felt It better to submit quietly
In those cases than to seek to chango a
system that has worked so well nearly
always. Even In matter of purely legal
Interpretation, where they are to be de
termined by n bench of three or more
Judges, a decision by a majority of the
court Is llnal unless there ho appeal to
a higher court. The rulo obtains In thu
Supreme and Appcllato Courts of nearly
or quite all the .States, and It Is no less
tho rulo In the highest of all our courts,
tho .Supremo Court of tho United
States. If the vital affairs of tho na
tion can 1 safely Intrusted nnd they
can bo nud nro to a majority decision
of our courts tho affairs of Individuals,
civil affairs at least, mny as safely bo
Intrusted to n verdict of n majority "of
their peers."
