Overruling Court Custom

There will be wide interest in recent
decision of the Illinois Supreme Court deal
ing with the discretionary power so generally
exercised by prosecuting officers. Some
months ago nearly 500 Chicago saloonkeep-.
ers. charged with violation of the Sunday
closing law, were called before Judge New
conner. The States attorney moved to nol-
pros the cases and the judge refused to al
low this unless the evidence were first heard,
holding that the prosecuting officer had no
authority to dispose of cases without the
courts consent. The States attorney tock
the matter TO the Supreme Court In the form
of a writ to compel Judge Newcomer to entsr
the order to nOl-prOs. The judge prepared an,
answer to this appeal and the Supreme Court
upheld him. Courts have power over prose-.
cutting officers, and the layman wonders how
the official involved could have looked for
any other ruling than the one that was given.
Surely II must he by consent OF the court
that cases brought before it are disposed Of
Custom has permitted prosecutors to exercise
a degree of judicial authority but this does
not in the least constitute rlght-Spring-
field Republican.

THE SWEETS OF PUNISHMENT"

FTHE various penalties imposed on ever
loyal Iiege for having celebrated the
second victory of the Marine are doubtless
being paid in a spirit of both pride and low
Four years ago this week the heroic
Flemish city thrilled all civilization with
its brilliant though vain resistance of the
first Hun onslaughts. Since Won Emmich
and his great Krupp guns smashed the
ring Of forts and valiant General Leman
was captured Liege has been ruled as
German territory, its role that of a
shackled spectator.
Through the fine now exacted of il by
barbarous conquerors the city in a sense
again takes part in the conflict. Foch
wins a great battle. Iiege rejoices and
helps pay for it, Surely there are I.iegeois
who believe it worth the price and the
sting Of Hun punishment must thereby
be greatly alleviated.
Curfew at is the other angry German
order arising from the victory fete and
conceivably it should scarcely embody a
shadow of offense. Bed can be a pleasant
place with the new sweet dreams now as
sured through the Allies return TO tri-
umph Even Teuton punishments are
losing their force.

THERE can be little doubt that the agi-
= tation for an increased trolley fare in
this city will be stimulated indirectly by
the disposition of the War Labor Board to
recommend increases in street railway
fares with a view to making wage in
creases practicable.
The street railways in this city have
sufficient income for proper adminstra
ton, upkeep and wages. They are in con-
fusion because the underlying companies
Systematically bleed the p. r. II. The
public cannot forget that the profits of
these subsidiaries are outrageously eNor-
bitant. This is a complication which the
