winter That this course dictated by an
unreasoning conservatism resting notions
dating back to medieval England and utterly
unwarranted by present conditions, as has been
abundant1y proved by the uniform experience
of over halfthe states of the Union, was pointed
out at the time The fact is that the grand jury
is worse than useless, except on those rares oc-
Icasions for which the proposed law amply pro-
vided. It is very costly method of attaining
an end that be better attained without it.
For, as Justice Brown pointed out the fact that
the accused under the proposed system can
introduce evidence in his behalf and be
represented by counsel before the examining
magistrate affords him much greater protection
| against injustice than the one-slded process
of grand jury Investigation. It is remarkable
that in it's zeal to save a few dollars the legls-
lature should cling to wornout old institution
that costs many thousands of dollars every year
and that can better be dispensed with than re-
tanned Pioneer Press.

The president of the deposit company came
down and Mr.. Folk got his evidence that the
street railway company was systematically
corrupting the public officials of the city.
Why do business men do these things?
One reason they give is that they cannot do
business in any other way. If they go to the
public with their requests they will have to
paw the aldermen secretly any way, and so they
would be bled twice. So they 60 to the alder
men in the first place and rob the public OF it's

is only an excuse, but has the merit of being
sincere. Very few business men get into the
business of buying aldermen until they have
tried other ways of doing business. 1t is nasty
work.
There is legal feature which makes brib-
cry of officials difficult to trace. That is that

The Green Bag publishes banquet address
of Justice Brown of the supreme court before
the American Bar association the admins
tration of the jury system in this country, in the
course of which he touched upon the abolition
of the grand jury. For some reason or other he
lcredits only about quarter of the states with
1.-THE suppression of the compulsory grand jury
Isystem whereas there are twenty-five states, or
over half the entire number, that have sup
ipressed it in whole in part three of them, for
instance, retaining it as compulsory institution
Ionly for capital crimes. Most of the others per
nit it to be called on special occasions, or when
in the opinion of the judge of considerable
number of citizens it is desirable.
1t is noteworthy that Judge Brown, who
previously to his appointment to the supreme
bench had fifteen years of experience as judge
in courts of riginal jurisdiction, classes the
grand jury an effete and useless piece OF
judicial machinery. He points out thatlsthe
grand jury undoubtedly Of great value, in |
the days when criminal proceedings pri-
vate affairs, to protect the accused against
unfounded and malicious charges. The assump-
ton of criminal proceedings by the state has, |
however, rendered the grand jury unnecessary
and "the appointment of attorneys charged with |
the duty of prosecuting only those who are held |
to bail by examining magistrate upon proof
of probable cause has been found I'm practice to |
afford ample protection the accused" Justice
Brown goes even farther than this in his estl- /
mate of the degree Of protection afforded by the |
system of prosecution information filed by |
the state. He says:
"Indeed, as the accused may introduce evil |
dence before the magistrate to disprove the |
existence of probable cause, he is even better
protected than he is by grand jury, which |
listens only to evidence of his guilt given i'll
secret and with no opportunity for explanation
The system of prosecuting felonies by nforma
ton has obtained in Connecticut for eighty
years. and in Michigan for over fifty years, and,
so far as know, no voice has been raised
for the restoration of the useless and expensive
procedure by indictment. If there be lawyer
in Michigan who advocates it | have never
heard of him, altho for several years it my
! duty to deal with grand juries in the federal
lconrts of that state Whatever changes in the
common law are accepted without protest and
continued for years without complaint may be

| \ wise provision of the Michigan law permits
grand iuries to be summoned at the discretion
/ of the court. Where their inquisitorial charac-
ter has been found OF value in the unearthing
of frauds and the abatement of nuisances."
This system of prosecution for crime on
information and the abolition of the grand Jury,
except when deemed desirable for any purpose
by the court or by citizens, was the system
embodied in two companion measures which
were killed in the house of representatives last

bagasse, or waste, from cane mills,
using it as an absorbent to make the
molasses available as dry stock feed.
Commenting on these experiments the
Agricultural Department recently pre-
dIcted that the time will come when
the manufacture of stock feeds contain
ing molasses will be a great industry.
The belief is expressed that the sugar
cane world will find in molasses feed for
live stock by-product of sugar manu-
facture as essential to its success as
is the feeding of cattle and horses to
the manufacturing distilleries in the
Northwest. One of the large sugar re-
fineries in Brooklyn, N. Y.,has been mix
ing molasses with the feed for it's truck
horses, and finds it not only successful
but also about % per cent. cheaper
than oats and hay. When properly pre-
pared, the molascuit, as the bagasse
compound has been termed, carries
with it an acceptable flavor to stock
and 1t has the additional value of inn
proving the flavor of any other food
with which it is mixed.

syrup and sugar. While the demand
for both these commodities has CON
stantly increased, the output from
maple trees has decreased during the
last twenty years. The trade has been
supplied only by radically adulterating
the pure goods, or by manufacturing a
product entirely from foreign materials.
1t is conservatiyely estimated that
seven-eighths of what is sold as maple
syrup and sugar is a spurious article
The fault does not lie with the pro-
ducers, those who tap the trees and re-
duce the sap to syrup and sugar, but
with the dealers, and so-called refinerg
who buy the real article and mix and
adulterate it in ways most proftably
for themselves. The most common sub
stitutes used in the adulteration are
other sugars and glucose with flavor
ings of vanilla or extracts from corn
cobs and stalks Formerly there was
a good deal of maple sugar produced in
the South, but now Vermont, New
York and Ohio are the largest pro-
ducers. Attempts have heen made in
the West to produce sugar from sor-
ghum cane, but the syrup can not be
successfully graduated, and so far the
manufacture has been limited to the
making Of molasses for local use.
