THE IMPORTANT OFFICE.

In the coming election. there is no office to be
filed more important than that of the public pros
ecutOr.
The voters of both parties should scan closely
the who aspire to this position, for this
officer depends in no small degree the respect for
law. the safety of life and property the reputation
of the county for orderliness and lav-abiding
mosphere.
The proHc prosecutor should be a man who
a high regard for his duties and for the powers of
his office
1t certainly too much ask that the
who holds this Office so perform his duties that law
breakers and criminals will not pay tribute to those
who claim to influence his action-and keep on
paying and paying and paying under the belief that
their brides are directing his course action.
1t is not too much TO ask that the policy of the
office be such that criminals not be led to
believe that they buying protection
munity if OF their dollars ever reach
the pockets Of the prosecutor.
1t is not too much to ask that the candidate for
this office refrain from CITING the sanction, by his
presence. to lewd dancing exhibitions partici-
pating in wild and disgraceful orgies.
1t Is much to ask that laws be enforced
and that the criminals of this community know and
realize that if they break any law there is a GER
tainty that the prosecutor Will at least show more
than a passing interest in their activities.
Before the date of the primaries this newspaper
will have much 10 concerning the candidates for
this ofice-for It believes that in Importance is
