That is a proper course when dealing with those who evade their highest civic duty. The first reaction of most men called in a jury panel is the wish to avoid the obligation. The lost ,, time suddenly seems a serious encroachment on their private interests, the restricted hours an in- f ringement of their rightful comfort. But mose men " do nothing about it. At the back of their minds is a half-forgotten recognition of the importance of the task, the sense that justice cannot be assured bv necessary to go away in order to learn the news at home.

The very men who have the best reasons for wishing to escape such service are the men who are most important to it. They have a 'vital stake in the, community and in its security.

But we cannot expect that jir.otection for ourselves or our friends if we are not ready, when needed, to set aside our own interests m the interest of abstract justice.
