THOMPSON GIVES
ADVICE To BOARD
Renders Opinion on Question of
Feeding Prisoners Who Are
in County Jail.
is THE SHERIFF'S DUTY
CITES Statutes Which Prescribe tbs
Work to otfciaI-Report from
judiciary Committee.

An opinion submitted TO the board
Of supervisors this morning by States
Attorney F. E. Thompson. practically
knocks into a cooked hat a long cher
isted plan of certain of the board
members whereby the county could
take away from the sheriff the duty of
feeding prisoners in the county Jail
and do this itself at actual cost.
The opinion came from Mr. Thomp-
son at the request of the judiciary com
mittee which at the last meeting of
the board was directed TO investigate
the problem or reducing the county's
board fee bill. The committee pro-
pounded three questions TO the states
attorney which in brief were: First,
can the county take away from the
Sheriff the dieting of the prisoners?
Second. can the county buy the food
by contract and pay for having it
served? Third, can the board specify
a bill Of daily fare for the prisoners
and hold the sheriff to il?
SAYS No TO ALL.
The opinion Of Mr.. Thompson was
negative to each proposition. He cited
sections Of the statutes Of the state
IL which the duties of the sheriff are
defined and drew the conclusion from
these that the sheriff must feed the
prisoners, that he must purchase the
provisions himself; have it served by
his own employees; and turn in a bill
for the actual amount spent. In view
Of the fact that the duty is expressly
given to the sheriff, Mr. Thompson S
belief is that he cannot be relieved Of
it by the board nor can the board I'M
dertake TO direct him as to the bill
OF fare he must serve.
CAN REDUCE AMOUNT.
However. in Tr. Thompson's opin-
iGr if the board has reason TO believe
that The sherifT's bills are for more
than he is actually spending, it can
cut down the amount TO conform 10
the expenditures, however the amount
allowed per day per prisoner, must not
be less than the actual cost of feeding
the prisoner.
This afternoons session of the
beard was given over largely to a dis.
cussion of the judiciary committee
report and there was little evidence
OF a disposition on the part of the
members to lower the amOmft-30
ceuts-which is paid to the sheriff for
each prisoners food for each day the
prisoner is in jail.
JAIL REPAIRS Up.
At Yesterday afternoons session il
vas decided to name a special com
mittee of three for the purpose of in
vestigating the report of the last
grand jury in regard to needed repairs
al the jail and to ascertain the cost
involved. This committee will report
a the April session.
The resolutions passed recently b.
the Mems federation, regarding the
advisability Of establishing a work
house in Rock Island county were re
ce'ved and placed on file
The session was a very brief one
liule out of routine coming up. Var
ious communications regarding pro
posed state legislation, were read and
filed without action of any kind being
taken.

The service is known as 1'enebrae- darkness" from the grad ual extinguishing of tle lights. The whole office has remained the same even to the lessons from the e'gHt century till now.
 At the Maths are sung the wdSk derful lamentations of Jeremias and although the subject of the five dirges Is not the death of an indi- yiduai, bnt refers primarily to national calamity-the wldowhood of Jerusalem and the overthrow of Ju- dea, but refer prophefiealiy tn Christ and the church is right ia pouring out her grief over the death of Chv,sn in those lamentations, which were sung over the ruins If tie temple de- stroyed by the sins of the nation.

1.-THE GRANARY OF
NORTH AMERICA"
GOVERNOR suLzER SAYS THAT
OF WESTERN CANADA.

The close ties Of friendship exist
ing between the United States and
Canada we're dwelt upon In addresses
by Premier Robert L. Borden, Of Can
ada, and Governor Sulzer, at the an.
nual dinner Of the University Club Of
Albany.
Canada and the United States"
said Premier Borden, have common
heritage in the language, the litera-
ture. the laws. the institutions and the
traditions which have come down to
them from the men Of bygone days.
perhaps no more instructive object
lesson ever has been given to the
world than the four thousand miles Of
undefended boundary line from the
Atlantic to the Pacific, which bears
silent but eloquent testimony to the
mutual confidence and respect Of the
two nations. Time will shortly place
upon the brow of each nation the lau-
rel Of one hundred years Of peace. It
matters not 80 much as to the form
Of the outward celebration. but let US
hope that it's full significance may
sink deep into the hearts Of both ma
lions. and that, whether north or south
Of the boundary, we may stand with
bowed and reverent heads, Offering
grateful thanks for the Divine blessing
Of peace, and earnest prayers that in
the century to come, mutual confidence,
goodwill and respect may truly ami
mate the ideals and aspirations Of both
nations"
Referring to the natural resources
possessed by the United States and
Canada. particularly along the st.
Lawrence River, the premier urged
that they be preserved and developed
for the people"
Governor Su1zer predicted that the
Great Canadian Northwest Is designed
to become, before long, the granary Of
North America"
MANY of our best citizens, I regret
to say" said the governor, ''are leav.
ing the States Of the west and going
into the Canadian northwest, because
OF the fertility of its soil, the lib
erality Of the Canadian government
and the ability of those people to bet
ter their conditions here.
1--WE should extend to them a help
ing hand in their onward march Of
progress. Instead Of closing our doors
by tariff barriers against these coun-
tries and their products, in my opinion,
we should open them wider and do
everything in our power to facilitate
closer commercial relations. We want
their products and they want our prod
ucts, and all restrictions to prevent
fairer and freer exchange of goods.

A Hundred Years AGO.

There were strong indications that
Europe would become involved in a
disastrous war.
1t was feared by some people that
the government at Washington was
going to wreck things beyond the pos
sibility of repair.
Hetty Green hadn't saved cent.
Indiana had less than twenty sue
cessful authors.
1t was generally believed that the
rich were getting richer and the poor
poorer.
Old inhabitants were insisting that
the climate had changed for the worse
since they were boys.
No Englishman had considered 1t
