(By ,. i.Kic pr,.. Raleigh. Ilee. 7. As a means of re moving all doubt as to the interpreta tion of the state law and constitu tion ss they relate to what persons are eligible for jury service in North Ol roll mi, the. legislative committee of the North Carolina Federation of Women's Clubs has decided definitely to ask the general assembly for a d.- , claratory statue making women eligl hie for such duly. Mrs. Palmer .lennan. chnhnuin of the. committee, announced tonight. "The statute C. S. 2313 provides that the Imard of county commission-.give ers at their regular meeting on the first Monday in June shall proceed to collect rrom the lax returns or the preceding year the names of such per- sons as have paid all the taxes as-; sessed against them fur the preceding year and nre of good moral character and of sufficient intelligence.' " said Mrs. Jernian. " 'A list of the. names thus sotiK-ted shall be made, out by the clerk of the hoard of commissioners and shall constitute the, jury list and shall be preserved as such.' Women are 'persons' unoueslicii- nbly and those possessed of the same qualifications as men are ipialified as jurors under the above section. "Those of a reactionary turn of mind contend, however, that this sec tion is unconstitutional because the constitution, Article 1. Section 13, pre scribes that 'no person shall he con victed of any crime but by unanimous verdict of a jury of good and lawful men In open court' : nnd, therefore, they argue that the statute which ad mits all 'persons' of good character and who have paid their taxes accord ing to the regulations violates this sec tion of statutes the following rule 3f)4!l (1) "provides that'fune (dristrnf- tlon of statutes the followmg rule shall he observed : 'every word import ing the masculine gender only shall extend and he applied to females as well as to males, unless the context clearly shows to the contrary.' "The reactionaries say that the word 'men' must be taken in the exclustive meaning given to it, at the time the Constitution was adopted in 1868. Be it so. Turn to the revised code, chap ter 10S. Section 2, which was adopted in 1854ft, and it will be found thnt it was then provided that when the word 'men' was used in legislation 'every word importing the. masculine gender only may extend and be applied to females as well as males.' The eon venrtton of 1808 in framing the consti tution legislated with knowledge that the above was the settled law in this state. "This should settle the matter in the minds of all." she asserted. "But in dependent of the statute, it is well known that the. word 'men' in English has always embraced hoth sexes ex cept when there is an opposite mean ing restricting it to males. Those who nre familiar with the scriptures which is the work best known to the. ma jority of the people, will find more than a hundred Instances in which the word men is used in this generic sense. The same use of the word in a generic sense is to be fotfnd in Mil ton and other English writers. The word 'men is used in the same sense in me neciarattion or independence. "It Is not only statutory but ac cording to common usage that the word men includes both sexes unless there Is something 111 the immediate con text to show thnt it wns intended to be restricted to tlie male sex. "When the. Constitution of 1808 was adopted, it is true thnt men only were accustomed to sit on juries, but that has nothing to do with the menning of a provision requiring that juries shall consist of twelve men. There was nothing then that required the elimi nation of women and they were not In tended to be barred out by this sec tion when the time came, that In ac cordance with surroundings, they now being voters, they might be called in to decide controversies in court. "Besides it will lie seen that this section nppltes only to criminal cases. There Is no such provision ns to civil trills. , "It should he noticed also thnt in that very same article Section 7, it is provided, 'no man ore set of men are entitled to exclusive or se.parate emol uments or privileges from the com munity but In consideration of public services.' "This provision certalnlyi was not intended to lie restricted lo males and the word 'men' has the same meaning there as In .above section 13 of the same article. "Indeed, this provision." she said, "was In the Halifax constitution of 1770, when there wns 'not intended to bo any discrimination lietween the sexes as to exclusive privileges. "Women now not only are 'notaries public' but county treasurers, registers of deeds, holders of other offices as well ns voters."
