It is difficult matter to grasp the

mefit which involves the manufacture
and marketing of 12,000 high grade
automobiles In one year on schedule
time The lay mind cannot at once
appreciate the perfection of system
and perfect cooperation necessary to
bring this about. The schedule is too
big, the figures too large, and the de-
tails too multitudinous to understand
unless one has been through such
manufacturing campaign and assisted
IN bringing ii to- g successful teFmi.
Recently the Cadillac Motor Car

TEACHING FISH TO SWIM

If there is anything a fish is
supposed to do from the time it is
born 1t Is to know how to swim.
But some fish have to be taught
how to swim. Director w. q. Me-

ium, after a series of expert
ments with baby trout, made the
statement that many kinds of
fish must acquire the art of
swimming, just as birds learn to
fly.

The chill,s departed from the air,

And round about us everywhere
The golden sunshine falls
again.
The roaming breeze is soft and
sweet
And following his code again
With drowsy eyes and lazy feet
The hobo's ON the road again.
No routine weary binds him down
To any one locality,
He is not kept within the town
By duty or frugality.
Wherever any handouts grow
He seeks that glad abode again
And rural housewives well may
know
The hobo's on the road again.
Sometimes he works-more often
not,
But loafs in pleasant drowsi-
Within some shady grassy spot,
Unmindful of his frowsiness,
WE sweat and toll and fret and
fuss,
All bending to our load again,
He laughs-maybe the jokes on
US
The hobo's on the road again!

A UDGE-MADE GRAND JURY.

ENATOR 'LEAvITT, of Mercer county, has introduced a
- Jury reform" bill that places the grand jury system en-.
tirey in control of the judges Of the courts. The proposition
is to create a jury commission TO be composed Of a Supreme Court
Judge, the Common Pleas judge and the sheriff, to seect the panel
from which the names of the grand parry shall be drawn. AS the
sheriff will be the minority member of the commission the power
to select Will reside with the two judges. The sheriff can have no
say. As the institution of the gTand tay was crseted as a pro
lection for the citizen against unjust prosecution and the harsh.
ness of courts, the proposed bill is vioiative of the principle it rep
resente. The bin practically takes away from the CITIZEN the pro
lection of having charges against him reviewed by q jury of his
peers. When the judge selects his peers they are no longer such,
bHt merely persons chosen by the court which rs to try him. For
years efforts have been made to eliminate the layman entirely from
fhe machinery of justice. The lay judges that formerly sat in the
county courts with the law judges were abolished. Until Governor
Werts's administration all the special judges of the Court of Errors
and Appeals we're laymen. Governor Werts, who was a lawyer,
changed the custom. Practising lawyers were appointed as special
Judges. The grand jury is a peoples institution, and a representa-
tive of the people, and not judges appointed by the governor, should
draw the grand jury panel. The sheriff is chosen by the people, and
holds Office only three years. If he does wrong he can be suspended
by the court from the duty OF drawing grand jupies, as was done re
Gently in Atlantic and Hudson counties. A Judge is appointed by
the Governor and his term is seven years. Who is to suspend him
if he ofends in his duty? When his seven years term expires he
can be reappointed without any reference to the people. The prn
ciple of the Leavitt bill is subversiye of popular rights.

disabled or aged fireman and to bury him when he dies.
