Weakness Of Grand JurIes

In nearly all jurisdictions the grand
3uries are simply the implements of
the public prosecutor. If he be man
of high qualifications in the matter of
law and evidence, good judge of
character and thoroughly honest, in
dictments are not often found without
reason. But comparatively few pros
ecuting attorneys fill that description.
Most of them like to make money out
of their Office, and in many states the
greater the number or indictments the
larger their income. The state Of
Michigan dispensed with the grand
jury long ago and has found the change
decided improvement.--Wash
Post.

Criminals In High Places.

1t is to be observed in regard to the
revelations of colossal stealings of for

That the principal participants in these
crimes are not petty larceners hunger

agents and officials that have absorbed

Check on Labor Unions.

The practical irresponsibility of the
labor union is perhaps its worst feat
ure. We are not ready to join Mr..
Hanna in demanding the incorpora-
tion of labor organizations. Yet in
some respects such a fixing of respon-
sibility seems highly desirable. Even
the unions themselves need a steady
influence. They need pressure which
no irresponsible body can feel. They
need to realize that mere wantonness
is intolerable, that sheer force is bru-
tai, that right reason must be regard
ed, that justice cries along at the
gates and must be heard.-Johnstown

Merely a Politicians Row.

Whether the Canadian people or only
the Canadian politicians feel so sore
against England on account of the
Alaskan boundary decision is an inter-
esting question, with the probability
that the politicians are responsible for
most of the noise that is being made.
Great Britain might permit Canada to
sccede under certain conditions, but
whether the former would consent to
have her military road across the
western continent blocked is doubtful

No Time TO Laugh.

There was public sale Of stock Of
different home companies on last Fri
day afternoon, and that Of most Of the
companies sold remarkably well, but
when il came to that Of the Farmville
Knitting Mills stock some one bid 80
cents a share, whereupon there was a
roar Of laughter.
1t was harsh and grating to us.
That stock should have been at a pre-
MUM and all Farmville should blush
to know that it was actually Laughed
out of COURT
Not only should the Knitting Mills
have been a success but by this time
it should have as companion a furni-
ture factory, spoke and handle fac
tory, shoe factory, a cannery and
such like. This is the only way to
build up town, and all Of us who are
interested in Farmville would rejoice
at its growth.
There is nothing to laugh at in the
failure of one of our legitimate enter
prises, nor would we, like children, cry
over it, but like men unite to put this
one on its feet and kindred ones in
company with il.
