The Deputy Prosecuting AttOr'
ney Law

To Justices of the Peace and Citizens
Of Randolph County:
a brief explanation Of the provisions
of the above named law would not be
amiss, l trust, at this time.
The law permits the deputy prosecut-
ing attorney to file his information be-
fore any justice of the peace of the
county, and thereupon the justice is
authorized to issue warrant of arrest
for the party named in the infOrma-
tion, and the sheriff or constable to
whom the warrant is directed, Will
serve without requiring bond for the
cost. Now this does not mean that
any citizen can so before any justice
OF the peace and make his affidavit ac-
cusing a party of crime, and upon that
affidavit have warrant of arrest with
out a bond for cost No not at all.
That would be unfair to the justice
and sheriff and other parties acting
- hAiNs tliul VI lllt cause.
The law puts the burden upon the
deputy prosecuting attorney of being
careful to not bring case which is
not supported by at least sufficient
evidence to reasonably expect convic.
tion. SO in order to avail anyone Of
the assistance of the deputy and the
relief from giving bond, they must
make affidavit before the deputy and
advise him of the evidence in the case
before the justices and executive off
GERS will be required to proceed with
out bond for cost
Another provision of the law is
that after the party has been arrested
and the charge made and day set fol
trial, the deputy may be called int
the case by the justice upon proper
notice. Also in a preliminary or ex
aminating trial of felony charge
the deputy, if called by the court, mus
attend and aid the court. In this man
ner, where the accused is held to awai
the action of the grand jury-the wit
nesses for the state are recognized
and the accused placed under bail ant
the testimony prepared to 60 befor
the grand jury, without any furthe
trouble or expense to the county O
grand jury, thereby saving at the yer,
least in each case, $25.O0 circuit cour
expenses, and expediting the work o
our grand jury.
Let's try out and dispose of all tri
vial cases, such as misdemeanors, whicl
would otherwise come through tn,
grand jury at heavy expense to tn,
county, or to the defendant if con
victed. Let's have all felony charges
so prepared and witnesses ready be
fore our grand jury as a body withou
delaying them to issue subpoenas anC
the sheriff to serve them, and by $,
doing we will reduce our circuit cour
expenses considerably.
Faithfully,
E. Newton Ellis,
Deputy Prosecuting Attorney

Father and Son Week, February y
to 2S, was instituted by the y. NJ. G.
A. Mt Providence, Il. J., in 1907 for the
purpose Of bringing fathers and sons
together for mutual understanding and
for the development of right character
in the sons But the Father and Son
movement has extended beyond the
bounds of the Y. NJ. G. a. and in many
cities and towns 1t is sponsored by
civic organizations, boy scouts coun-
ellis, churches. and Sunday schools.
Whatever may be said about the
fine enduring influence of mother in
the life Of boy--and surely TOD much
cannot be said--it is an indisputable
fact that If the father is not on the job,
or rather hasn't been on the job in
the case Of the growing lad. there is
danger ahead.

speaks, will walk as the father walks
and notice all that dad is doing or has
done. Yet while the lad viii glory in

spiritual life, that is the part that in
fluences and counts most.
1t is possible for any father to have
the confidence and trust of his boy un-
less there is something to justify 1t.
No boy will have faith and trust in his
parents unless they have faith and
trust in him. Let the boy know that
his father really loves him and the boy
will love the father in return.

business man who sent his boy to bed

to wink seven winks he had climbed
out Of the book and was standing on
the table.
He took a little Chinese ivory fan
from his pocket and began to fan him
self. He was all out Of breath and
his shoes were dusty. Ruth saw these
things and waited for him to speak.
Presently he said: I've been in

work in the rice fields there were very
lonesome and 1 wanted to help them.
One of them gave me this fan. wish
you could go back with me down that
road beside the rice field and see
what it's really like and then perhaps
you wouldn't find history so dry and
uninteresting."
The Crockeyjoy looked down at the
history book again ard Ruth let her
eyes follow his. Both of them saw
that the pages had turned of their
own accord and instead of looking at
at a diagram of a battlefield. There
were many names and dates given and
the page was smudged and worn-look
ing because Ruth had spent hours at
different times trying to learn the
names and dates, and to find out what
it all meant. "It is about Indian
fights" said the Crockeyjoy. 'Your
brother would enjoy it. and I'm going
to see If 1 can't help you to like, or
at least, to understand it."
He jumped down from the table,
took Ruth by the hand, walked with
her to the corner where some of her
younger brothers toys were kept All
the time they were growing smaller.

~that soldier Is an old dragoon who.
helped the settlers fight the Indians
when grandfather's grandfather was a
little boy He is like the soldier in
your history book. When you read
your history from now on try to think
of the people in it who did things as
real people and Of the things they did
as real things. If you do that, then
you will find that history is easy to
learn and you'll have lot of fun
learning It."
Then Ruth heard her mothers foot
steps In the hall. The toy soldier
sprang from the horses back and onto
his pedestal. The Crockeyjoy waved
good-by and vanished into the shadows
behind a chair in the corner. The next
moment Ruth's mother came in. 'Tis
glad you've finished your lesson" she
said. "and after you get further along
in your history you may like 1t better"
Ruth thought of what the Crockey-
JOY had told her and so she nodded

had said. She felt sure she was going !
