THE GRAND JURY ANo sAERlFEs.

In the grand jury report which We
published last week there appeared a
comparison between the amount Of H.
cense money turned in by Sheritfs Ryan,
fease and Bradbury. showing that the
last named-the present sheriff OF the
eounty-had accounted for more money
collected during his first year than either
OF the other officers did during their
terms Of two years. 1t is well known
fact that Pease robbed the county, and
the inference may be drawn from the
wording OF the report that FIX Sheriff
Ryan is oFen to the same suspicion.
We consider the insinuation unjust and
wholly out Of place. Sheriff Ryan may
have had his faults.-in fact the Pass
has often criticized his political and
official actions-but we do not believe lie
collected cent Of license money that
was not turned over to the county. His
reputation for honesty is, and has al
ways been, beyond suspicion. conse-
quently we think the grand jury went
out Of its way to make the insinuations
in its report. II it had any evidence
that Sheriff Ryan laid himself open to
investigation the duty OF the jury is
plain and in failing to perform that
duty the members placed themselves in
n position to be criticised. The public
will agree with us that this portion OF
the grand jury report had better have
never been written. 1t reflects more
discredit upon the jury than upon Mr..
Ryan. We wish il understood that we
are not championing his cause, but sim
ply wish to do him Justice. On the other
hand it is understood that he will be q
Republican candidate for state senator !;
il so we expect to contribute our support
and what little influence We may be able
TO exert, toward his defeat, because he
represents political principles We cannot
endorse. Sheriff Bradbury is certainly
entitled to credit and commendation
for his prOmptness and the energy he
has displayed in the collection OF license
money. and former sheriffs might have
done better than thev did by being more
strict with the saloon men. Another fact
that must be taken into consideration is
that there are many more saloons in the
county than were running during Sheriff
Ryan's term OF Office. One thing is GER
tain-if the grand jury did not find an
indictment against Ex-Sherif Pease il
undoubtedly should have done so.

MORTGAGES ARE VOID

PERSONS holding mortgages should be
careful 10 see that they are properly
stamped or they may be rendered invalid
\ recent ruling requires that a mortgage
be stamped each time it is transferred
Unless this is done the instrument is
rendered void.
The decision is that there must be a
stamped assignment Of a mortgage N

stamp act Of congress, any transfer Of q
mortgage which is not defacro slammed
assignment makes the mortgage invalid
