VINO had nothing against them; who
probably would have liked them had they
known them; shot down by men who
surely had nothing against the mothers

And Simms report asks:
What had they to expect, as THEIR
part, from war; Only this that you

Which Is To Say, Who
Asked Our Prosecutor
To Call a Grand Jury?

One reason for calling a grand jury
in any community is because such jury
guarantees an investigation that will be
free from all outside influences. politics
included.
There is only one chance to bring POI
litical influence TO bear against a grand
jury and that is before it has begun its
sessions.
Judge Connolly, of the recorders
court. has granted the petition of Aid.
Ross for a grand jury to investigate our
department of buildings and our board Of
education.
We have the recent fire on Woodward
ave. in which floors with only rotted
joists for support, fell, killing five city
firemen. to justify the claim Of the alder
man that our department of buildings
needs investigation.
We have almost a unanimous public
consent that our school board be inves-
tigated and that the facts connected with
many of its transactions, be sifted.
But the prosecuting attorney of our
county comes forward to object TO a
grand jury being called by the city's re-
corder, and the spectacle is one that is
charged most generally 70 POLITICS,
played while playing is good.
Our prosecuting attorney questions
the authority of the recorder TO impanel
grand jury.
We refuse TO believe that Judge Con-
molly granted the petition of Aid. Ross
without first having satisfied himself
that il was within his power and his
authority 10 do so.
The prosecutor says he will call
grand jury himself, in the circuit court.
but it happens that nobody has asked the
prosecuting attorney 10 call grand jury
in ANY court, and it becomes a matter
of interest with US TO know just why the
prosecutor should feel called upon, so
suddenly, to call grand jury at ALL
Is ii because of the understanding that
a recorders court grand jury would have
a special prosecutor IN the person Of
James Pound, who, in addition TO pos
sessing the required ability and then
some, has a reputation for probing when
he probes, for fighting when he fights
and for getting somewhere when he
prosecutes7
Judge Connolly has announced that
his court will hear the prosecutor and
entertain any wellfounded objection he
may raise as 10 the authority Of the
court in the premises.
Which will give the prosecuting attor-
ney an opportunity 10 prove that he has
reasons for his position which are sound
and which are other than political.
Failing TO prove that the recorders
court is without authority in the prem
ises, il will be up 70 Mr.. Jasnowsh. Of
course, TO bow himself gracefully of the
premises and permit the grand jury TO
come in.

DON'T PASS ME ANY BULL.

Each must do their bit right now
To help to win the fight;
Our Brave young men must show us
how
To set the Germans right.
Cur women, they must sew and nurse,
Cur rich must give their gold
Each one must open up their purse,
Our Liberty to hold.
We must cut out our fancy drinks,
Go lighter on the beef methinks
When we go out to dine.
For Hoover says that we must spare
The hog, the sheep and wool,
So cross out beef on the bill of fare,
You must not eat the bull.
| keep the meatless days,
Don't pass me any bull
Hand it 10 tie other jays
For / am filled quite full
They told me that the Kaiser
With Wilson had pull;
They spout 1t like d geyser-
Don't pass me any bull.
Some tell you that it's wrong to fight,
To turn the other cheek,
Some others think that might is right
While some are mid and meek.
Some say we fight for Wall Street,
Some say we are to blame
Such talk such meet with quick de-
feat .
1t fills my heart with shame.
They want our boys to fight for them;
They will not do II cir part,
mother words they are weak men
For they are faint of heart.
They spend their time in passing bull.
But they will hit reef.
The people of these tales are full
And they have passed up beef.
