In few more years it is expected that the
grand jury will become obsolete. In the vast ma
ority Of cases the evidence introduced before this
august assembly has been left entirely in the hands
of the prosecuting attorney. If the prosecuting
attorney is endowed with the discretionary powers
to call witnesses only for the prosecution it is plain
y apparent that this body is then useless piece Of
machinery. It would be far more economical if
some such formula examination held before
the offender was bound to the district court,
instead of waiting several months before considering
whether the evidence is sufficient to warrant trial

where no true bill is found, it has become notor-
fact that incompetence either exists in the grand
jury rests with the judge who made out the CON-
mtment papers. If the offense is serious one, a
true bill follows matter of course; but in minor
cases it is far economical and doing justice to
the suspected offender to establish his guilt inno-
cence once instead of awaiting the lapse of several
months.

ONE often meets with the man whose miscon-

The poor deluded fool should occasionally hold up
his own actions for personal observation before re-

True, their carpings and nsinuations not worthy
of the slightest consideration, and when asked to
specify their grievances as to anothers overbearing
conduct, their own irregular actions pass before
their eyes like brigade Of soldiers dress parade;
they stutter, words come only in monosyllabes and
only tend toward making their position more en-
barrassing the mist that floats before their distorted
sight, is welcomed as a curtain to hide their hesh

bearing let us first examine spectrum, SO
