THE GRAND JURY.


Attorney General Byers recently
called on the county attorneys of Iowa
for reports concerning the enforcement
Of law in their several communities
and for recommendations respecting
improvements in the administration of
justice. Our own county attorney, Mr..
Nelson, proposed the repeal of the in
determinate sentence law, which makes
it more difficult to secure pleas of
guilty from old offenders, and one or
two wished to expedite trial by giving
the defendant the right 10 waive in
dictmenr by the grand jury. Cass coun-
tvs attorney is for abolishing the grand
jury He says the defendants use it to
make the state tip off its hand in adj
vance of the trial.
Wisconsin gets along without grand
jury except in emergencies in which
the court believes one should be sum-
moned The objection TO abolishing the
system is the fear of concentrating
power in the hands of the prosecuting
attorney. The old system while cum
bersome and used TO prevent the en-
forcement Of certain criminal laws in
localities in which they are unpopular
has certain advantages. Members OF
the jury call the body's attention TO
violations Of law which might be over
looked by the county attorney. Any
citizen of the county may appear be-
fore the jury and make complaint and
the accused may also be heard at the
pleasure of the jury. The members OF
that body are fresh from the people
and bring public opinion in their sew
eral communities to bear upon the adj
lninistration OF justice. Therefore the
people would be reluctant to part with
the system, tho it encurn bers and in
some circumstances defeats the en-
forcement Of the laws.

DIR. E. w. CLARK.
IGrinnell Herald. ]


SO many good things are being said
about DR.. Clark, that it seems almost
impossible to add a new word to the
multitude of kind words already spok-
en-. The closed business houses and
factories, and the large attendance at
the church service, are brief but con-
elusive testimonies to the large share
he had in the activities of Grinnell.
Quiet, reserved and transformations, a
stranger would not suspect the great
force and energy of character beneath
such modest demeanor. But when
ready to speak or move, he would find
a well-formed and well-founded judg-
ment backed by prompt, well directed
and decisive action.
That was DR.. Clark in business And
it was because of his almost unerring
judgment followed by speedy and
forceful service that he came to be SO
great power in all Grinnell enter
prises requiring GOODNESS, decision or
hard work.
In his private life the doctor was a
warm friend, and kept that friendship
| fast thru all conditions. Reserved
tho he was, he was very approachable
| to those who knew him, and never
failed in time of need. Generous to the
| limit of his financial ability, he was
among the foremost givers in every
charitable or public enterprise.
| AS a physician. SO much has been
publicly said and SO completely, that
the Herald would, if it said more. but
weakly echo the good things of a whole
tcityful of friends.
| Grinnell mourns a man who will be
lmissed in every walk and phase OF
life; life. IL public or private. in sickness
or health. His memory will be cher
ished and revered as long as there
remains living a single member of the
present generation of Grinnell to speak
| his praise or recall his life of unselfish
service. Some there be whose mem
DRY is soon forgotten That of DR.
Clark will live on and on, growing
brighter as the years increase. His
life will always be a help and example
and an inspiration for Righteousness
to the young.

a martyr to the truth.
Yet this man CLAWS is only 26 years
Of age. That Is an age that hoary
heads say is not attended with sound
judgment. And perhaps there is some-
thing in what the hoary heads say.
But it is the age, also, when idealism
fires young men TO attempt great
things, and there is i1ealism in Glavis
worship of honesty and justice and
truth. Where other heads were fail
ing to save the nation, his young head
found way, and that it had to be q
sacrifice to looting greed matters MOTH
ing to him.
The incident suggests anew the high
wisdom of giving the young man
chance.
