The Grand Jury Report, Are
A Number OF Prominent,
Hamilton And Butler
County Citizens.

Never was the report of Butler
county grand jury anxiously awaited
by so many as that of the one now in
session. The grand jury was called
in special session by Judge Walter S.
Harlan, on Tuesday of last week and
has been in session ever since. Judge
Harlan instructed the members of the
jury that they are to further investi-
gate affairs at the county infrmary
and determine whether or not the law
has been violated by former Superin-
tendent Jacob Thesis in any other par
ticulars than those for which he has
been indicted.
The court also pointed out the fact
that the law requires the superintend-
ent to report to the county commits
sioners in detail, twice a year, all
moneys received and paid out, the con
dition of the infrmary, the number
of inmates and such other information
as the board thinks proper, and that
it was the duty of the board to ex-
anime the report, and, if found cor
rect, allowed and placed in the min
utes of their proceedings.
The court called attention to the
fact that Thesis has never made a
report since his appointment, more
than five years ago, and that the com
missionors are equally responsible for
this. 1t was their duty to see that
the report was filed. They appointed
him. He was directly answerable to
them. He was their agent, their en-
ployee, to manage and superintend the
infrmary for them.
But it seems that there are more
serious things than this. If half the
rumors going around are true, when
the jury's report is made, the old
town and county is going to receive
such a shock as even the 1913 flood
could not equal.
Stories are being circulated of vast
stores of provisions bought for the
infirmary, much beef and pork, poul-
try and vegetables being distributed
among private citizens, politicians and
officials. 1t is said that last winter
when butter was selling at 80 cents
a pound, and eggs at so cents a doz-
en-, certain people were having more
than they could eat, while the in
mates at the infrmary had to be sat
isfed with molasses for their bread.
And sugar, why it is said that when
every one else was limited to about
two pounds d month, some people
were getting it by the barrel, sugar
intended for use at the infrmamy. AT
least something good is going to come
out of this investigation.
Just when the jury will finish anc
report is not known at this time. Like.
ly it will be the first part of next
week. And there is going to be much
relief afforded to those whose names
will not appear, in fact, it is going
to be great relief to those who are
indicted, as the strain is becoming ter
rible-unbearable.

"A swollen organization always
means inefficient administration" says
the air minister, as he surveys the
staff which he has taken over. How
did Napoleon manage his clerical staff
one wonders. According to Yelling
ton there were 1900 clerks in the
French war Office. Normally we had
60 clerks with the war secretary, 10
In the ordnance, and about 90 at the
horse guards. "These 100 do the
work of the French, yet the French
clerks begin to write at six In the
morning, and ours go down at ten or
eleven" Or course the size of the
armies differed also.--London Chroni-
Gle.

The Typographical Union has issued
a little booklet telling of its work

of which is that only S1,237 was spent
on strikes during II war months, an
almost infnitesimal figure when it is
compared with the ST. 100000 earned
by the typos in the same period.
There are 4,081 members of the un-

Editor Bismarck Tribune:
Allow ME to call your attention to
two sentences in todays issue which
show really gross ignorance OF Cath
olic matters. ..-r':
In your article Nursing Sister you
give very nice write UP to Sister
Rolanda, but in the second paragraph
you say: Before taking holy orders
etc. Holy Orders is sacrament
! which only men can receive and by
which men enter the priesthood. Wom'
en- may take the Vows in religious
Order and thereby become members
OF religious order. but they can nev-
er take holy orders"
The second instance which shows
much ignorance Of things Catholic IS
found in the editorial on Judge Robin
son and the Flu. There you say In
this instance we may agree with the
Jesuitical maxim that the end justl-
flies the MEANS
Have you any proofs that this max
i'm is Jesuitical? | remember years
ago when some German Protes tants
made the assertion that such Is
Jesuitical maxim. one of the Jesuits.
Father Rob, offered a thousand marks
10 the first person who. would prlng
stringent proofs that ever jesuit
had taught Or defended said MAXIM.
He left it free to choose any state
university in Germany as judges
whether the proofs offered were prov
ing the assertion that the Jesults or
any of them had ever taught or de-
Tended said maxim. No one has ever
brought the proofs and you can bring
them neither. You may have heard
such expression so often as to believe
there must be some truth in 1t: but
there is not more foundation for such
assertion than there is for the asser-
ton of a fanatical preacher that we
keep in our churches arms for the
purpose of butchering Protestants::
We should expect that the writer OF
editorials for The Bismarck Tribune
be free from ignorance based upon
bigotry. -.',' '''s'''' -
