Even were il possible for these two

If DR.. Dernberg Is Serious, 1t
Is Hard to Take Him That Way

To the majority Of Americans, the
statement Of DR.. Dernburg. editor of the
New York Staats-Zeitung, that Germany
must keep Belgium as an avenue to the
open sea must seem an ill-advised joke.
Or IL 1t is not solemn witticism, Is 1t
not the statement of sick man, one
whose mental vision has been obscured
BY long anxiety, by worry over impend-
ing calamity?
Belgium is not disputed territory
Germany has no more right to her than

Keep 1t Up, Mr.. Jasnowski;
You Are Beginning Right!

Prosecutor Jasnowsh is to be congra-
tulated ON his first important case since
the people, by a handsome majority, ex-
pressed their confidence in his ability to
carry on the Office in which he served 50
long as first assistant.
Praise must also be given Coroner
Burgess, in the same connection.
II has not been often, in this county,
that serious accident has been followed
by the beginning of the official inquiry
into its causes with only four days inter-
vening.
After the Salem wreck on the Pere
Marquette railroad, in the summer Of
1907, it was 10 days before the jury be
gan to hear testimony.
Less energetic county officials could
have found plenty Of excuse for delay.
There were injured people in the hos
pitfalls, whose testimony might have been
waited for.
There were attorneys who requested
more time than was allowed them.
There were the statements Of over
score Of witnesses to be compared and
studied.
But the prosecutor, with rare thought
for the feelings Of the community, anxi-
ous to have responsibility placed, and for
those Of the men under suspicion of fatal
negligence, insisted that the inquest go
On, on the very day after he had finished
his preliminary investigation.
Equally commendable was Mr.. Jasnow-
skis resentment of the interference of a
corporation attorney in the taking of
testimony, and Coroner Burgess prompt
support Of the prosecutors contention.
An official less alert, or a coroner less
judicial, would have paid little attention
to the record for is not an inquest gen.
orally regarded as legal joker
They might have allowed the introduc-
ton Of all manner of statements that
would have been prejudicial to the plain
tiffs in damage suit.
The prosecutor and the coroner showed
themselves quick to act for the rights
Of the people who have retained them to
do their business for them.
Such an suspicious beginning of Mr..
Jasnowsld's regime indicates efficiency
Of . high order, and splendid concep-
ton Of what is expected Of public Of
ncer by the electorate.
