Judge Hobson, Of the Thirteenth tu-
dicial district seems to have the right
idea as to the manner of handling pa
rolled persons. He and the county at
torney of Fayette county sent to the
board of parole recommendation for
parole before commitment of seven
Young men. 1t was distinctly recog-

was placed in the hands Of the parole
board because 1t is equipped for hand

and follow them up if they violate the
conditions of the parole. The court
could not do this. In all of these
cases ii was provided first that they
had employment and would not be cast
out to make the difficulty of going
right all the harder.
1t is hoped that the appraisement
jury selected by the chief Justice to fix
valuation on the property within the
capitol grounds which could not be Sc
cured by negotiation, will meet on the
21st TO view the property and compare
estimates. AS the jury named is COM
posed of high class business men, each
one busy man, and they come from
the distant parts Of the state ii may
be little hard to fix a date when all
can meet at once
Those who are watching affairs look
for something interesting in connection
with this appraisement of values Has
the state executive council been pay
ing eXtravagant prices for property as
some persons have been led TO believe

owners have asserted. How will the
values fixed BY this jury of outsiders
compare with the values fixed all round
by the state executive council? These
are questions that may be in part. an

Of police raids upon allesad bootleg

followed by the issuance Of a sweeping
order signed by the mayor in which the

prompted the mayor to take his
dramatic course of procedure.
