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 ??nd the highways barricaded, when they decline to ' ■ halt at ambushes and when they are fired upon on the Th ■ P We feeU^fthat the Greene County Grand Jury would have reached a different conclusion in regard • To indictment if no liquor had been found ir. the shun men’s car.

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. Oh. mother knits And smokes hi cigar.
