There are a good many people in Highland Park who, not having yet reached the position of alderman. nevertheless know perfectly well that the statement circulated by this par- ticular alderman ia not only on the face of it false, but is absolutely ri- diculous. In other words, that the police magistrate is powerless to dis rnias such a case if the city attorney persistsâ€"in prosecuting it.
