mony three course supper was served

Enterprising newspaper correspond
ents at South Haven are making a ridicu-
lous hullabaloo over the calling of the
grand jury. The latest is the charge in
the Kalamazoo Gazette that the calling
of he grand jury is lust graft game
on the part of the citizens OF Paw Paw
to get South Haven capital to tide them
over hard winter" The correspondent
further says that daily special train
will be run from South Haven in the
morning and back each night, with
dining car, barber, etc. and that not one
of the 800 South Haven witnesses will
spend a dollar in Paw Paw. OF course
the South Haven witnesses will spend
their money as they please, aud there 5
no law against their chartering all the
special trains they feel like paying for.
People are entitled to all the luxures
they can afford, aud if the South Haven
ties want to take special trains for theirs
it's nubodN's business The charge that
the calling of the grand jury is graft
however, comes pretty near being con
tempt of court, ard no one could seri-
ousy criticize Judge Carr if he should
punish it as such. The charge is GER
tainly a serious reflection 90 the integrity
of the court. The grand jury was called
on the motion of the prosecuting attor-
ney, and requests from reputable citizens
of the county, a majority of them from
South Haven, and the citizens and
business men of Paw Paw knew nothing
about it until the order had been en-
tered. Paw Paw people are enterprising
and of course we like to entice South
Havenites into good town, but we are
not yet advanced enough in the art Of
graft" as the South Haven correspond
ent terms it, to prostitute the courts tC
advance our interests. After ALL South
Ravens principal grievance is that sc
many of her prominent citizens have
been summoned as witnesses before the
grand jury. IL the town in the corner
would only learn to he more law abiding
and to have as wholesome respect fol
liquor laws as for any other crimina
laws, grand juries would then have nj
terrors for its residents.
