LUCIFER HOHENZOLLERN.

After ALL the best comment the plight Of William
Hohenzolem well the plight of his people, is found
in the bible Just now, while the hands of many nations
are reached out to clutch this oncemighy criminal and
administer just punishment for his sns there is special
apness in the editorial written thousands of years ago.
bv the Prophet Isaiah and newly discovered by scrip
tural student in the sancum Of the New York Tribune:
"Hel from beneah is moved for thee to meet thee at
thy coming it stirreh up the dead for thee all the
chief ones on the EARTH had raised from their thrones
all the kings of the nations.
"A they shall speak and say unto thee art thou also
become weak as we? Art thou become like unto us?
"Thy pomp is brought down to the grave, and the
noise of thy vos the worm is spread under thee and the
worms cover thee.
"How are thou fallen from heaven. 0 Lucifer, son
of the morning! How art thou cut down to the ground
which didst weaken the nations!
"For thou has said in thine heart, will ascend into

Few Auto Licenses
Have Been Applied For

The time is drawing near when the
cops will begin to take squint at
the passing automobiles to see if they
bear the new 1919 license tags. II
they don't the drivers probably will be
called on to explain the reason.
So far applications for 1919 licens-
es have been made for only 5000 cars,
out Of total of 63,3l7 machines which
were registered this year, according to
Secretary Of State 0lcott.
eff our office promptly receives ap-
plications from all those motor owners
Nho desire to operate their ears with
out interruption from year to year, Il
can get the licenses out without de-
lay, ''said Mr.. Oleott today. ''But II
the great majority of car owners defer
applying for 1919 license until the lat
ter part of this month or the first OF
January next, it will be physical inn
possibility, however well organized We
may be for the work, to perform all the
required labor incident 10 the register
ing of automobiles and assigning and
forwarding license plates, on the day
of ;he receipt of applications, as we
have been able to do in the past, with
Lut few exceptions.
''I wish, therefore, to impress upon
those cai owners who have not yet APP
Piled for 1919 licenses, to do so at once
Our records show that by the emo of
December of each year, approximately
so pen. cent of the car owners apply for
licenses for the ensuing year, so there
are at least $4,000 more licenses which
we will be called upon to issue by jan
uary first, or an average of 1850 for
each work day of the balance of the
month. Last year as many as 2oo3
applications were received in one day
and it was only by supreme effort
Of the office force and by working ov-
ertime that we were able to check all
applications and assign and mail ilcens-
os without deldy.n

Ruth gasped. A stab of something
like real pain shot through her as she
remembered she had earned that eight

suited as to whether she would have
preferred to entertain these friends of

ment elsewhere.

GRAND JURY REPORT AND LEGISLATURE.

Stung TO the quick Dy the Illuminating report OF the
Marion county grand jury which investigated the state
penitenay Governor Wthycombe has been left defense
less in the face OF the most criticism which
ever heaped upon the head of chief executive in this
state by an official of the court He has been left
practically speechles only able cry frameup unfair
unjust and untrue.
A grand jury of Marion county, or ofo any other
county, is impartial body of seven men, drawn by lot
They taxpayers of the county, In the present instance
they are hardheaded farmers and business men, men
who have had experience in life and not to be easily led
Ior fooled.
These men spent more than month probing into the
facts relating to the management of the state prison
Their report not made public until long after the date
Of the general election so there could be partisan
for wishing to besmrch the governor Rather, they
covered rotten mess and they performed their sworn
duty by reporting the facts as they found them
It is useless for the governors partisan friends to
cry that the report is all false 1t matter Of record
which the grand jury could easily check to whether the
governor swayed by Parole Officer Joe Keller in all
his acts in connection with paroles and pardons 1t is
matter of record to whether the governor granted in
creases in salary to those employees who were dsloya to
Warden Murphy and denied them to employees who were
loyal to him. 1t matter of record as to whether War
den Murphys recommendations for paroles detri
ment instead of benefit to the convicts receiving them.
The public knows there has been continual turmoil,
strife and trouble going on at the prison ever since Joe
Keller has been there 1t matter of record that
three wardens have lost their jobs because they count
er to Keller.
There is for all this trouble. After making its
investigation the grand jury finds that the governor him
SELF influenced by Joe Keller, is the He has
made dismal failure of his management of the prison
He has made dismal failure of his management Of the
flax industry About the only thing he has made asuc
cess of has been the finding of political jobs for his po
ltca friends. -
This report of the grand jury should receive the
ous consideration of the legislature when it meets next
month, and its recommendations should be needed The
taxpayers demand new deal at the prison.
Governor Withycombe says he is goiong to give War
den Stevens he free hand at the pententary that
he extended to former Warden Murphy Unless the Mar
ion county grand jury is liar this "same free hand"
that the governor will to it that his political
friends the prison payroll are not disturbed 1t will
that the warden will be helpless if he encounters
dsoyaty among these chosen friends of the chief
tive and that objects to their disoyaty and nsdious
opposition his official scalp will be removed This is the
sort of free hand" the grand jury found the governor
had extended to former Warden Murphy.
