THE GREENE COUNTY GRAND JURY
A Greene County Grand Jury fails to indict the six
Federal and County officers for the killing of two men
in an automobile said to be carrying whiskey, iht
facts in the case seem to be that the off'eors lfiul in
ambush, that the automobile when ordered to halt,
declined to stop and that the finng began. The of-
. “contend they were fired upon and returned
* ■■ ti, e fjre The rcatives of the slam men contend they
were shot in the back while attepting to flee.
Attorneys in the case declare the issue was de
rided not on the law and the facts, but after a gen
eral debate an argument on prohibition, which
vtstempiit however, has been denied by the Brand
jury And so an opportunity has been lost to clarify
the law and to define more clearly what are the right
md duties of officers, of the innocent public, and
even of violator, of the prohibition law itself.
There must come one of these days, a clearly s
definition of what are the rights “'« e * 0 °^ r e ?r'
'"There'ehould*be°an* equally*clear^atcmcnt of the
safety and what rights they have, if any. when they

’ Of the prohibition law brings only a fine though in
some cases' 1 short terms of imprisonment have be n

the* risk of murder on the highways at the hands of
•'."7 officers should not be allowed or permitted, un.ess
the crime suspected or being attempted is o*e of mur-

L fronted with the LaGrange case, in which no whis-
* - key was found in the fleeing car, with the tables
turned in that in the fleeing buttle, one of the prohi-

. this reckless shooting to kill in .either case was justi-
! liable? - -
f ' - IS BRYAN A “HAS BEEN”?
I The Honorable William toning* Bryan seems to
have gotten himself in the class of has been. It i.
reported that the church people dropped him on ac
count of his extreme vipws on scientific questions
•_> " and that the prohibitionists want to throw him over-
. board because he is hurting their cause by his in
temperate ideas about it. Mr. Bryan is a combina
tion hard to follow. His policies are not consistent,
' neither are they safe and sound. He is a trouble
maker and a dictator and unless everyone sees as he
does, then the .“bull in the china shop” tactics are em
ployed by him regardless of consequences.”
After President Wilson had placed him in the most
r"'Important office of the government, It was only a few
* months until he had disagreed with the president and
* his policies and undertook to set up a government of
- his own. In this he failed and his resignation was
s invited./ It was handed in, so to speak, by Mr. Bryan
5 but his enmity was arrayed against the administra-
= .tion and the democratic party and the following pres-
. ^ idential election, when he could have been of service
I » to the party, he eliminated himself and retired to
* a private life in Florida.
■ * Mr.pryan is, an able man and, no doubt, honest,
i-r but he is Born of radicalism and his likes and dislikes
t arc so strong that his better judgment is controlled by
^ ~ narrow and congested views of his personal making.
His attacks on the church and its leaders and his
extreme views on the prohibition measure will not aid
in the coming presidential election in choosing a dem
ocrat for that office.
Before the meeting of the democratic convention
it is to be hoped that Mr. Bryan will either change or
modify his views on these important matters or else
remain away from the convention. Next year is no
time for dissention and strife in the democratic party.
We need perfect harmony nnd co-operation and with
a solid line of the democrats throughout the nation,
a democratic-president can be elected.

largely to the fact that most
