The Circuit Court Grand
Jury Probe Should Have
a Special Prosecutor

Our supreme court has decided that
Judge Connolly cannot conduct a grand
jury investigation in the recorders court
petitioned for by Alderman Ross and
granted by the court.
The supreme court does not say that
such an investigation would prove other
wise than Of great benefit to Detroit and
Wayne county.
The supreme court, cognizant of the
fact of Anthony Kloka's shortage, Of
Kloka's connection with our Republican
county building machine, and the fact
that it was possible to keep that shortage
from the public for many months while
Kloka was retained in his job, does not
deny that it would be of great advantage
to Wayne county to have grand jury
investigation conducted by a Democratic
Judge with the reputation of having a
backbone in addition to great ability.
The court finds that there is lack OF
statutory authority.
The Times is very. very sorry that the
court so finds.
We feel grateful at times that our fire
department is not compelled to consult
the law books and rules of procedure be-
fore it is permitted to turn the hose on
the confagration.
However, we face a situation and will
have to make the most of it.
The job of cleaning up Wayne county
is put up to the circuit judges.
Our confidence in this bench is the sill
yer lining to the cloud the Lansing de-
cision has cast over the decent citizenship
of city and county.
We look to the circuit Judges for a
thoro probe, but we submit if their hon
ors please, that NO INVESTIGATION
CONDUCTED BY PROSECUTING AT
TORNEY JASNOWSKI WILL SATISFY
THE PEOPLE.
A grand jury conducted by Democratic
officers to investigate Republican office
holders would have been in keeping with |
our idea of parties, one to watch and re-
view the acts of the other
That arrangement having been declar
ed impossible, the next best thing is a
SPECIAL PROSECUTOR, one who is not
a part of any political organization and
one possessed, by all means, of more
energy than Prosecutor Jasnowsh has
displayed in his office.
The Times submits that thoro inves-
tigation of the county building must be
gin in the cellar and go through to the
garnet.
1t should include an investigation of
the prosecutors office, its political con-
nections and favorites, and should be con-
Quoted by someone who is not connected
WIFI IIldL O1uCt.
The recent ballot stealing scandal,
when an attempt was made to steal the
recordership from Charles T. Wilkins,
Mr.. Jasnowsh's opponent, should be in
vestigated by the grand jury.
We cannot hope to clean out corruption
in office until we have cleaned out cor
ruption in the precinct booths.
We cannot hope for honest officials un-
til we have honest elections.
An employee of Prosecuting Attorney
Jasnowski's office was connected with the
crooked count Of the ballots in the judicial
election that developed the scandal pass
ed up to Prosecutor Jasnowski by the
election commissioners for action. which
has not been forthcoming.
Would Prosecuting Attorney Jasnowski
be the man TO conduct q grand jury in
vestigation into that piece Of political
burglary?

AS you long and loudly protest you do,
There's Job that's waiting for you right here
A mans job for your bunch to do;
Instead Of blockading the L. s. A.
In the war we're making for truth and right
Why don't you turn on powers that prey
Who seek 10 plumber US while we fightI
Forget your pacist stunts awhile
And turn TO the bigger task at hand,
And help US battle in warike style
With greed that battens upon the land;
With men who plumber and men who steal
From wives and mothers who give their sons,
Come on join in for the common veal
And aid in crushing these Goths and Huns.
We've known you always warriors brave,
Two-handed fighters who can't be cowed,
Why don't you join with US all to save
The nations strength from the bandit crowd
We war for justice across the foam,
Help US 10 conquer our foes at home.

Football Notes.

The Leon High School football
team took vacation last week.
While no games were PLAYED, coach
McGinnis put the boys through stiff
practice in preparation for the game
. to be played at Corydon on Friday of
this week.
An attempt was made to bring the
strong Abba aggregation here for a
game last Saturday afternoon. Chari-
ton had cancelled with them, but on
Friday evening the two teams agreed
to play their regularly scheduled
game at Charlton on Saturday.
Several of our boys went over to
Corydon Saturday to see the game
there between Corydon and Lineville.
Leon has come through their long
schedule thus far without a defeat.
Here's hoping that they continue the
rood work. The team has been
strong on defense. In the recent
practice4 coach McGinnis has been
6olstering up the offense. The team
may be expected to show improved
form In this respect.
"A bG delegaton of Leon people will
accompany the team to Corydon on
Friday.

Note of Warming.

We have in Decatur county about
1000 Red Cross members, divided
into two chapters, Lamont Chapter
and Decatur County Chapter. The
Decatur County Chapter has helped
to organize 10 branches within it's
jurisdiction. Never before have we
worked together more effectively,
more earnestly, more asreeably, and
with but one purpose i'll view. and
stories being so industriouslv circu--
lated to the detriment of the Red
Cross cause, and OF the warnings
given our by the Division Manager
to persons guilty, we did not know
we would SO soon be confronted with
the same thing in our own beloved
county, but such is the case. The
persons who circulate stories qnes-
tioning the disbursements of money
given in the name of the Red Cross,
who question the honesty OF the Off
GERS and the committeeman or mem :,
bers working in the cause, do it
either through thoughtlcssness, ig-
nor rance, or malciousness. If they
should read some 81 he warnings
sent out by the govenmsnt; II
through ignorance they should go to
the books of the secretary and treas
urer of the Chapter, where they will
see that every one is given credit
for every cent paid, and the required
per cent sent to National hecdquar-
ters, and a receipt therefor returned
TO the Chapter, and If they do It
come out from under cover and we
will be glad to help Uncle Sam fur
nish them a passport to Kaiser Bins
country
