The Editors role
Is one that to fill.
Requires great skill,
1t is SO perpleXing.
Unhappy and veXing.
Sir David Aurelius, Knight stout and bold,
(Who comes from the West as | have been
told.)
In his Editors study, and Editors chair,
Pondered these wrongs with dignifed air.
And as he sat thinking he grew very wroth.
And rose from his seat with a terrible oath,
Aud vowed that those laws. with their
puzzling flaws
And numsrons clutch hes and terrible claws,
Like the chaf that before the East wind is
driven,
Should be tern from the books, and to ribbons
be riv0n.
"By iOve never more
He Justify swore,
"Shall frivolous writs
Give Editors fits.
Or the dread of the law.
Keep them ever in awe
Then forth from his castle he rode his gray
And oanva'sed his free men with infinite
speed.
He secured all their votes in less than crack.
And then to his castle came galloping back.
Now another stout Knight, named Sir
Johnnie Kerr
Who had been in his youth a Jolly Jack Tar,
Game forth 'gaiust Sir David to tilt for the
prize,
But Sir David forestalIed him and clean
wiped his eyes,
And thus with no craving for rlunder or
pelf,
Or any intention Of serving himself.
But to stand in the hreacI.
With volleys Of speech,
And stoutly to fight,
For right against might,
Sir David the Great.
Took to matters Of state.
He came to the Council and took up his
seat.
Then he took up his body and rose 10 his
feet,
To bring in a bill to s~traighten those laws
And weaken their clutches and break If their
claws;
So that even 'the CLEANER need tremble no
more,
But publish bad speeches and still feel secure.
At the thought of "the CLEANER a stern
member woke;
"WhO said rats?' he exclaimed. 4 don't like
the ioke!'
! Then he hit at Sir David a terrible Whack,
Which fell on "the CLEANER over his back.
He pummelled and pounded
Explained and expounded,
Defending the Law,
With no end of jaw,
And swore he would kill
That newspaper Bill.
But Sir David was not to be frightened by
that,
He flew at his enemy just like a cat;
Nor was he alone, for then stood at his back.
That inflated member, best known as Mass
Jack;
These two soon drove their opponent away,
And carried the Bill, and carried the day,
And thus those bad laws, with their puzzling
+. flaws,
Their numerous clutches, and terrible claws,
Ceased to cause any trouble, or fear, or dis
tIesS,
To the poor little struggling, trembling
Press.
And now on the whole
An editors role,

Requires no skill
And is not perplexing

To the poor little struggling, trembling
Press.
They feel it their duty to publish all news,
But still while they publish they Shake in
their shoes,
For they know if they tell What is perfectly
true.
Some sensitive chap makes Il h~ullabaloo,
And then if they state what is Just the
reverse.
Instead Of being better it makes il far worse,
For ont goes an action MS quick rs a shot,
The Editors summoned and catches it hot

the law OF 1887, which for the first tn q
maize it's violations triable in the circuit
court, it was the duty OF the circuit Judge
to call grand Jury unless the officers en-
forced it. | informed the sheriffs and
other police officers that il was their duty
to see that the law was enforced. At the
request OF the officers | explained 10 the
saloonkeepers in nearly every city Of my
circuit the provisions of the law and the
duties OF the police officers in connection
Herewith. | have consistently occupied
that position ever since. | have talked
with many saloonkeepers upon the sub
ject and have yet to find one who has n 1T
admitted that my position was correct
| am not a member OF the anti-saloon
league, nor shall be. | am informed by
one OF its officials that one Gifts principal
tenets is the enforcement OF the law as
found on the statute books. To this ex-
tent am in active sympathy with it.
Beyond this | have not gone and never
shall go. i have too much interest in
the welfare OF my State and my country
not to advocate the enforcement of all
constitutional laws affecting the health.
morals and good order of society.
shall therefore not cease TO advocate the
rigid enforcement of the law regulating
the liquor traffic. and the laws against
gambling, gambling dens and houses of
prostitution Ii il a satisfaction to me
TO know that my position has, almost
without exception, been sustained by the
public press OF the State.
c. b. GRANT.
Lansing, Mich, November 20, 1896.
The above letter appeared in the De.
troit papers and was evidently written
to refute some charge made against the
worthy Judge.
The position taken by Judge Grant
agrees TO a nicely with that OF the editor
OF this paper and is republished here SO
that the judges position may be thor
ougbly understood, in case he should
come up again before the voters OF thi.
part OF the country, when the saloon in
terest might, by Misrepresentation, try
to iDjure him.
We have private letter still in on
possession written us by Col. Grant whe-
he was Judge OF the neighboring circuit, ex
planning his position on the liquor ques
ton and which agrees, il we are no
greatly mistaken, with the aboyein ever,
detail. Some OF the officials OF tbi
county dub everyone a prohibitions
who desires to see the present liquor law
carried out, although il is their plan
duty to see that it is done, but which. a
we all know, they shamefullv neglect.
