This number reépr killed in direct connection with enfc forts, he and not include died in bootlegging feuds and general criminal activities. On one point My. Lowman dnd Senator wards are in. substantial agreement. Tl the majority of cases where deaths have resulted, Prohibition exonerated and there have been few convictions of the agents in court Of more than passing interest, also, is Mr. Low man's assertion that Treasury regulations recently’ have emphasized that agents must not use fire arms except in self-defense. He said he would be in favor of disarming agents entirely hut such action was impossible, because of the criminal with whom they had to deal, it was sary for the agents to be armed for self-profec- tion. Officers of the law, whether they be Prolibi tion agents, or officers of any other branch . law enforcement, entitled to protect selves in the performance of their duty. No just criticism can be laid against them if, in defep: of their own lives, they kill their assailants. Also, if they see a felony about to be committed in their presence, or if onme who has committed a felony is about to escape, there is legal jus-| tification for them to shoot. No such latitude is| granted them, however, in crimes involving only misdemeanors. And where they depart from this rule, where they shoot at -citizens, lawbreakers though they may be, without such cause, when they deliberately shoot where there is no pro- wvoeation, possibly on the theory that a poten- tial lawbreaker be escaping them for the moment, there no excuse for them, and in such instances, as they may occur, the law should deal with them severely and adequately For two reasons this is the proper course to pursue, The paramount reason, of course, isi that all citizens are entitled to the protection| of the law against those using deadly weapons without justification, whether the u be an; officer or a private citizen. And the that the officer who seeks to take advantage of his position, who without the justification of self- defense, etc., deliberately shoots in such manner as to endanger the lives of others, is hurting the offi- cers, largely in the majori who are going about the execution of their duties in the manner prescribed and intended by the law. The prin- ciples embodied in these reasons are not new They are fundamental to this country. When- ever, for any cause, they abe set aside or ignored, we ghall approach a deniination by force instead of the rule of reasonable and equitable law. wceuracy his The of ew Jersey in rticle, * the ince In killing of « Prohibition into four the Treasury there ine & Shot asserted that “rung figi De- were 49 Lowman of total of which 175 kliled of the whom those ef- who nts ment those were said, does Bd- in agents were and naces- of are may is second, s, THIRD DIVISION COURT HEADQUARTERS. The Anchorage Chamber of Commerce recently announced its intention of geing after head- quarters of the Federal District Court for the| Third Division which is now located at Valdez| It successful this would mean the removal from| the latter town of the official residence of Judge B. Coke Hill, his offices, the offices of Clerk of Court, United States Attorney and United States| Marshal and their personnel. There is nothing concealed about the movement at Anchorage. It/ is open and above board. While this may lead to a free for all fight, it {8 & matter, of course, about which the residents ' of the Third Division only are deeply concerned ‘and for the Department of Justice to decide.! "The question of which location is of more con-| ‘venience to the general public, which lends itsel| more readily to the greater mumber of people with business to tramsact is of some importance.

In 1926 the Republican candidate for Congress in Den- ver had won by 7,000 votes at an election which included the defeat of a proposal to provide for the manufacture and sale of liguor “whenever it does not conflict with the Federal laws.” As back as 1914, Colorado, by a vote of 125,58 118,017, adopted Sta prohibition amendment and in 1818 had on initiative prohibited the pos- jon of liquor for personal use.

He is a man in his own right. Jut there is surely a lesson in his victory for those “strate- gists” who are urging upon Governor mith that he pretend timidly to views on the prohibition question which his entire record and recent American experience crushingly controvert. The plain tputh is-that when this issue i presented intelligently, ably and broadly there is a grow- ing public to respond. An Opportunity for Local Mining Associations. (Emgineering and Minjng Journal.) Requests for information about mining securi- ties continue to he a feature of the morning mail. For instance, a letter from an Arkansas subscriber asks if, in our opinion, the current dividend of a Utah lead-silver company rea- sonably safe at the present low price of lead and gilver,” and adds, ‘is the company managed by experienced and honest officials” As to the con- tinuance of dividénds it is unwise, of course, to venture an opinion without an intimate knowledge of the company's affairs. Questions like these again bring up the need of some kind of financial service available to those who have small sums to invest. General advice is freely given mnot to put momey in a company without keeping in close touch with its affairs; yet usually the only sources of information are in- complete company reports, published at infrequent intervals, and the propaganda of interested brok- ers, who always advise buying, but never recom- mend selling. The technical press permits one to keep in touch with the news of what a company is doing from an operating standpoint, but this is of little help in judging the value of the company’s securities. Local Chambers of Com- merce, mining. associations, ~State bureaus of mines, and other similar organizations might de- velop facilities that would be of great value to the small investor, in giving unprejudiced information concerning compamies in their terri- tories. Such information need mot be in the ma- ture of a definite recommendation to buy or sell: certain securities, but would rather be confined to detailed statements of curremt operations and earnings, and ore reserves, with the business records .of the managemnt lu%obsrkvrs of the enterprise. In other words, 1 rmation should be available that would give & prospective in- vestor sufficient material on Which to bage an intelligent opinion as to the value of the stock at the prevailing price and dividend rate, if any. It an unprejudiced organization is prepared to extend such a service, the B. & M. J. will be only too glad to make the fact known. Such a local chamber, if not of the logal ‘‘booster” ‘type,|gs might easily attain a natiomal reputation and thus attract a considerable amount of money. for mining investments in the territory it represegts. ———e ’ It would save a trememdous lot of space byl listing those who are mot eritics of Mayor ‘Thompson,— (Indianapolis Star.)
