The organization of the reform forces was effected with admirable patience, and in due time the people approved of the constitutional prir:ciple that the manufacture and sale of intoxicating liquor for beverage purposes should be, prohibited. “Tg the Constitution is to effect the pirpose of the people by establishing justice, insuring domestic tran- quility, promoting the general welfare and securing the blessings of liberty, it must be both enforced and obeyed. The enforcement of one part of the Consti- 4ution by the violation of another part may consti- tute such a breach of the whole as to destroy justic disturb domestic tranquillity, obstruct the general wel- fare, and abolish liberty. One part of the Constitu- tion is as sacred as another purt, and the guarantee of a right cannot be ignored for the-sake of punishing a wrong. “The abuse of the personal rights of citizens is be- eoming so common throughout the United States: as} to promote crimes of a peculiarly dangerous and sin-) ister kind. Criminals are being made by the sugges- tion and example of officers who are supposed to be obeying as well as enforcing the law. _ The use of the automobile by criminals has so vastly extended the scupe of their operations and facilitated their escape that dreadful crimes are now becoming common, with- out punishment of the perpertators. When law offi- cers themselves violate the law by searching persons, automobiles and houses without warrant they encour- age crime and suggest new methods of crime which criminals are quick to adopt. Law officers resort to speeding, borrowing of automobiles without leave, gummary search and seizure of innocent goods, and other outrages which are nothing other than crimes. Is is little wonder that distorted brains are quick to imitate these tactics for purposes of robbery and murder. “A pill relating to prohibition is before congress, and the two houses are not in agreement. The sub- stance of the controversy is the question whether the prohibition laws shall be favored by evading and vio- pit APS RUT StS TE KIWANIANS 10 BANQUET THURSDAY EVENING, NOON LUCHEON NOT SCHEDULED |e ccessas ste sc eat aoa ‘The regular weekly meeting of the Kiwanis club will be held in the form of an evening dinner at the Henning and} James Henthorne of th of Winter and He: lating that part of the Constitution which gives every Weveral Gaye at the encamp- spending citizen the right to be secure in his person, house, pa-| ment of state troops in Douglas. . pers and effects against unreasonable and unwarrant- ed searches and seizures. The argument is made’ by certain partisans of the probibition law that it cannot be entirely enforced without violating the Constitu- tion. They conscientiously believe that ft is worth while to violate the Congtitution if prohibition can be made effective by such violation, They are opposed by other partisans of prohibition, who hold that there will be a violent reaction by the public against the prohibition law itself if it is not enforced with due regard for other laws and for the Constitution. They insist that prohibition can be enforced without resorting to unreasonable search or search without warrant; and they point out that many prohibition partisans make the mistake of thinking that the law prohibits the manufacture and sale-of intoxicating liquor for any purpose whatever, when in fact it does net and cannot do so under the Constitution. The only prohibition applies to liquor for beverage pur- poses. Yet law officers are continually violating the law by seizing liquors that are lawfully made and sold. In these seizures there is often an element of brutality that incites the victims to retaliatory acts that grow into shocking cries. Thus one violation of law breeds another, so thst the spread of crime in the United States has reached appalling proportions. “Ts it not high time that all citizens should take stock of the situation and insist upon the enforcement of all laws under the Constitution, with impartiality and without passion? If it is once admitted that the ution and laws can be violated for the sake of ing other laws, the road to universal crime and anarchy is opened. Reason tells us that the constitu- tional provision relating to intoxicating liquors used for beverage purposes can and should be enforced in harmony with the Constitution, and not in violation of it. Common sense admonishes congress that it would be futile to enact a provisiors which would con- done er compel violation of the Constitution, for such a law would be set aside. “The manufacture and sale of intoxicants for bev- erages is prohibited. Let the law make this prohibi- tion effective. Public sentiment stands behind this kind of prohibition. But it is rapidly ranning in the direction of a reaction, which may do infinite harm, because it is bound to protest against any method of enforcing laws, which is in {tself a crime.” SSE RE SNE ae ae, OLD FRIENDS FROM HOME, It may be Main Street stuff, but it is all right at that. And when a fellow reaches a point when he hightones old friends and neighbors he will suddenly wake up to discover he hasn’t got them when he needs them. A Marion citizen in Washington attended a White House reception. When he finally reached the presi- dent he found himself dragged out of the line, repri- manded for not obtaining an appointment to call, taken into the private apartments of the mansion for an old fashioned visit and regaled with a slab of Mrs. Harding’s pumpkin pie and a doughnut or two just like they have in Marion. Old friends and neighbors are still old friends and neighbors to the Hardings. They have been so from boyhood and girlhood and exalted position is not go- ing to make things any different. Small town stuff! Done purely for effect! Sneer if you please. We'll say it’s genuine, and makes for more real happiness than cheers frym thousands. When you get to despising old friends from home there is something wrong with you. You can trust a man who loves his friends, and when he loves them hard enough to give them pumpkin pie you cam bet he’s glad to see them.

The secret service of the United States is having some grief in tracing down counterfeit money and in invesigating a number of the cases it has come to light that the bad bills were paid in the first instance for bootleg liquor. The persons engaged in traffick- ing in the #licit liquor, of course was too wise to make the complaint personally, but had it done through friends after the bad bills had passed through sev- eral hands in legitimate transactions. The discovery, however, was made in going far enough back that the counterfeits were paid originally for liquor, the other fellow had no iegal right to sell. It has created a situation in which the passing of counterfeit bills has been attempted with the ‘knowl- edge that those who are victims hardly would dare to reveal the fact for fear of prosecution under the pro- hibition laws. It is said that counterfeiters have managed in this way to get rid of their production -of bad bills of va- rious denominations. They sell the bills to bootleg- gers, who pass them along to liquor dealers. | position with -the Stockmants Na- CITY BRIEFS fj" "= Mr. and Mrs. J. 8S, Mechiiag are ving Saturday for the east. and will visit in Pennsylvania, Ohio and New York.
