It reversed a conviction of C. V. Sorrels, a North Carolina war veteran, of violating the Volstead Act where the evidence was that he was induced to com- mit the crime by officers of the law. ‘ Under the heading, “Dirty Business,” the New | York Herald Tribune commented upon the subject | as follows: ! The Supreme Court, in the case of C. V. | : Sorrels, a North Carolina war veteran, has | 3 decided that the “entrapment” of a person I to violate the Volstead Act is “dirty busi- ‘ ness.” This is not the expression used in ¥ the court’s majority opinion nor in the indi- : vidual opinions of any of the justices, but it ! will serve as a convenient paraphrase of 1 their remarks. Let us quote Justice Roberts on the subject: “There is common agreement that | where a law officer envisages a crime, { plans it and activates its commission by | one not theretofore intending its per- petration, for the sole purpose of obtain- ing a victim through indictment, con- viction and sentence, the consummation of so revolting a plan ought not to be permitted by any self- ecting tribunal. Fqually true is this whether the offense | is one at common law or merely a crea- | ture of statute. Public glory forbids such sacrifice of decency.” Though the two anz not altogether analogous, this case, in which the court has reversed the decisions of the lower tri- bunals and ordered a new trial, reminds one . rather forcibly of that other case decided in | June, 1928, in which the Supreme Court, by a vote of 5 to 4, upheld the right of Pro- hibition agents to tap a person's telephone wires in obtaining evidence against him. The venerable Justice Holmes, it will be remem- bered, joined Justice Brandeis in violent dissent, allluding to wire-tapping as “dirty business.” “It is desirable,” he wrote at the time, “that criminals should'be detected, and to that end that all available evidence should be used. It also is desirable that the Government should not itself foster and pay 1 for other crimes when they are the means by which the evidence is to be obtained. . . . We have to choose, and for my part I think : it a less evil that some criminals should g escape than that the Government should g play an ignoble part.” : Well, that was four years and a half ago, { and immense changes in public sentiment have taken place in the interim. For one thing, Justice Holmes's pungent epithet has ef had a chance to sink deep in to the con- sciousness of public and judiciary alike. Is it too much to belfeve that if the question of wire-tapping by Prohibition agents were to come before the court today the latter would decide, as it has in the case of “entrapment that “public policy forbids such sacrifice of decency”? GOOD MAY COME FROM DEPRESSION. In the light of the inaugural address of Gov. Lehman of New York, the New York Herald Tribune, stanch tribune of Republicanism, sees the probabil- ity of great good coming out of the depression. It thinks we may get nearer scientific organization and greater interest in the common welfare with closer co-operation between State and Nation. Closing very laudatory editorial comment upon : Gov. Lehman's address, the Herald Tribune said: From another angle a bright side of the widespread financial pressure has been that it might force much-needed- and long-over- due governmental reorganizations and gen- eral economies which could never be brought about except under the lash of necessity. : Many of them may never be achieved if the et 2 & States, and through them the local govern- mental units, can turn to a “Great White Father” in Washington for relief. The State is on a sound business basis, the Governor declares; but even there we think he can find room for improvement. He is right in laying stress upon the im- portance of modernizing local governments— village, city and county—by consolidation of agencies and functions, the setting up of proper budgeétary control and the “precise and complete fixation of administrative and exzcutive responsibility.” This is true not only of New York City but throughout the State. The Governor enters upon his difficult task with sincerity and courage. He is singularly free from hampering political ob- R P |tentiary but they prevented him from making as| otherwise would have made. he is dead and with him should be buried in war, and will co-operate will through” in a way that State for years to come. | Ths turbulent career of Charles W.

And he was still repeating his formula when he reached South- the-Water and was accosted by its owner, Sir James Cane. i “Well, Armitage, how’s the Vi-, var?” “All smiles, sir.” “Surprised to see you, doubt.” Sir James Cane smirked and sat back in his chair. Tt was the smirk, together with something ingratiating in his manner, that had made him “Sugar” Cane to Kings Mallard. He could be ex- traordinarily mnaive sometimes, as now, when he was showing trans- 1 don’t iparent triumph . of Armitage’s so-' journ at South-the-Water instead of at the vicarage. Farrell, not for the first time, wished that he had dodged this invitation. It had been given on the Fin- esse, England-bound from New York, where the Canes had been pleasure-seeking and Farrell, al- most unwillingly, had gone to make yet more money. In a mo- ment of boredom, he had persuad- ed himself that he would like to re-explore Kings Mallard and that the vicar's frugally run house would not be equipped for a guest So he had come to South-the- izcough, Farrs “Very sad case, Accident Been looked at said Leils She made him a little bow and chirped up again, but one moon,” “We met at a given on .a very hot day by Mrs—Mrs.—no, the You were dressed | as hot with jiggeries all |lover it and a hat with a sort of | And I Iregret to say, that you fell down |twice and howled each time and at the ch a brat, mother?” dear,” said Lady Cane.
