Grand Rapids was greatly emb,

Grand Rapids was greatly embar-
raised once when practically the entire
municipal government of the town was
indicted for criminal offenses. Some
thing of the same sort has happened at
Owosso, where practically the entire
county government of Shiawassee
county has become prisoners at the bar,
the list of those under accusation in
Guiding the sheriff of the county and
two of his deputies, a former sheriff
practically all the present board of SUI
pervisors and a working quorum of
former boards of supervisors. 1t is to
be observed in connection with the ex-
posures in Shiawassee that if the legal
theory adopted by the grand jury
holds, the immunities and privileges
of the lesser legislative bodies in the
state will be in striking contrast with
those of the greater body that meets
at Lansing. Though it may often
seem as though they ought to be, state
legislators cannot be indicted, or 9TH
erwise called in question for any vote
in the legislature, no matter how un-
wise and extravaganza the measure for
which it may have been cast, unless it
can be shown that it was influenced
by corrupt motives. In case of the
Shiawassee grand jury investigation it
seems that supervisor may be held to
a criminal charge who, in good faith,
believing that he had the power and
that the measure was wise and justi-
fable one, voted an appropriation of
money in excess of what had been au-
thorized for the purpose by popular
extraordinarily Journal.

Merch mt Marine

The report of Secretary of War Taft
to Senator Gallinger, chairman of the
merchant marine commission in charge
OF the pending shipping BILL is splen-
did endorsement of the late Senator
Mcmillan, of Michigan, and the late
Senator Hanna, of Ohio Neither Sen
ator Mcmillan nor Senator Hanna is
mentioned or referred to, but the com
pliment comes in the strong endorse
ment by Secretary Taft of the position
they so insistently stood for and urged
upon the country. 1t throws light
backward, and in that light, too, Gent
Alger, as secretary of war. shines mag
nificently.
| The Leader has repeatedly said mo
one could have done better and few
could have done as well as Gen1 Alger
did Secretary of War Taft says the
United States is greatly deficient in
army transport resources Gen1 Alger,
as secretary of war during our Spanish
war, had to meet this deficiency. Only
through his splendid business ability
was he able to cope with this physical
weakness of ours as a nation; but he did
it without advertising our incapscity
to all the world. We owe much more
to him than we have ever repaid,
The student of history gives proper
credit for our success in 1912 to our
merchant marine. Secretary Taft
wisely insists that we shall re. establish
| ourselves upon the seas; and through q
| strong merchant marine is the proper
way to do it. Senators Mcmillan and
Hanna believed the best and speediest
way to accomplish this was through a
ship subsidy. We do not know how
best but let's do it somehow. -Hillsdale
Leader
There is excellent food for reflection
in the above quotation from the Leader
Undoubtedly something needs to be
done to again place the American flag
on the high seas-to carry American
crops and American manufactured pro-
ducts to the markets of the world. 1t is
national disgrace that the American
flag has been DRIVEN from the oceans by
American Indifference, especially upon
the part of the people of the interior.
The Courier has always believed in
subsidies as advocated by those two
great business leaders-Senators Nc
MILAN and Hanna. Both of those men
were wise counsellors in their days, but
on the subsidy question public patriot
ism was too dormant .-Coldwater Cour-
Ter.

ply 10 political opponent who was
critically commenting on the fact that
fhe total cost of maintaining the govern

country of ours has become almost a

last year this commerce lacked not more
than one hundred thousand dollars of
reaching the three billion total There
has been an average annual increase

one hundred million dollars during each
