GRAND JURY PROBE

As might have been expected, the
grand jury charged with investiga-
ting the advent of a carnival COM
pany into Alexandria has reported
"that they find MO direct evidence
upon which they could bring in any
indictments n connection with the
matter"
The carnival has been the main
theme of conversat ion in Alexandria
during the present week. A large
percentage of the community has
enjoyed the different features of the
exhitition, while the younger gene
ration has been e1lthused as they
only are upon the appearance of a
circus or anything upon the line OF
such performances.
The object of bringing carnival
to Alexandria in connection with
other numbers on the program OF
Welcome Home Week was conceived
in honesty by certain representative
citizens who acted upon the best mo-
tives. If they made mistake it
was of the head, not the heart, and
the many good people who entered
their protests acted upon their I'M
questioned rights.
BUT the week the carnival will be
among US is nearly spent. Like the
Arabs, the company win fold its
tents and depart ere the church bells
sound next Sunday mo71'ing
If it was mistake to nlingle
the carnival with cM Welcome
Home festivities. it is not the first
act of thoughtleSsness which had
been committed in Alexandria. The
Gazette has never had much faith
in brass band blowouts designed to
aid in increasing the cIty's CONNER
cial Importance. but all have their
opinions, and upon bhe present occa-
sion a weeks festivities without a
carnival was regarded by many as
Hamlet minus Hamlet.
Others, however, equally as pract-
icable, fail to realize that such a
feature is the sine qua non of such
an occasion. In the language Of
scripture, Let each be fully persuad-
ed in his own mind.
1t is unfortunate that Our Wei
come Home movement has had any
questionable attachment to the tail
of the kite. but the affair was con-
ccived in good faith by some of our
best citizens and if they erred in
any particular it was in their enthu-
siasm for what they believed to be
pro bono pubiico.

When John c. Sr2orcr. now dead

limited States Senate in ISA7 he
was weary of politics and longed 10

that the practice of his profession
promised him. So long as he held
public office he was unSparing of
himself and at great self-sacr;lice
applied to his duties in Washington
all his energies and talents. The
obligations imposed upon him were
the heavier because of his pre-emi-

Senate at that time outrankcd him
as a debater. as constitutional

that he exercised in shaping the.

stand in the way of progress in the
negotiations. 1t is understood that
men like Senator Lodge, for example,
are now more concerned about the
time being lost in vague generali-
ties" tha nabout any other phase Of
the preliminary work in Paris.
They regard it as evident that the
situation in Europe is hourly growing
from bad to worse and that the con-
tinued general discussion Of the
league of nations proposal is similar
to protraoted debate among firemen
as to the best means of preventing
fire while the building unedr which
