of enforcement officers?
And why hasn't Mr.. Rover summoned Policeman
William R. Ellery, of the First precinct who was fined
SIS by the Police Trial Board for taking few high
balls while on duty and who presumably would be able
to tell the Grand Jury where he got the drinks?
Here some golden opportunities for Mr.. Rover to
get valuable information regarding law violations.
Certainly he should extend to these gentlemen the
same privilege he gave The Washington Times.
The fact that Mr. Rover summoned the city editor
of The Times and ignored the other gentlemen would
seem to add weight to The Times suspicion that
the District Attorney nettled by newspaper attacks
upon his office, believed that he might embarrass The
Times and discredit it in the public eye by catching it
unprepared to back up with facts it's statement that

IN calling upon the city editor of The Washington
Times to appear before the Grand Jury and present
- whatever evidence he had regarding violations of
the prohibition law in Washington, District Attorney
Leo A. Rover was acting clearly within his duty.
The city editor SO construed the serving of the sum-
mons and willingly complied by presenting to the
Grand Jury complete report of the Investigations
conducted by three of his reporters.
1 But il Mr.. Rover is so eager to bring before the
Grand Jury all information concerning alleged law
violations in the District why has he failed SO strangely
to accept the challenge of Senator Smith W. BrOOkhart
of Iowa who recently dared the District Attorney to-
call him as witness to testify regarding wild liquor

To Avoid Tumbles.

One mother says:
I used to waste so much of my val
liable time in the early morning sitting
beside baby while she was on her
nursery chair. I had left her sitting
alone several times, but she always
squirmed around So that she invariably
upset herself and the chair and had re-
ceived several bad bumps. So daddy
solved the problem by putting an or
binary screen door hook on the back of
the chair and screwing an eye into the
wall at the proper height. 1t is simple
enough to remove the chair with this
arrangement and now I can go about
my work without worrying constantly
about the baby, and she will stay put"
happy with the few toys that I provide
for her. until it is time for her to get up.
