Search and Seizure Prohibited Except on Warrants he } ttl | Duly Authorized eattie VERY NOW AND THEN it is well to recur to fun- |4~ damental principles, and one of these, under the |common law and our own constitutional law, is that a |man’s home is his castle, whose privacy must not be «|| attacked except by due process of law. Too often has this been either forgotten or willfully mored by officers of the law. An officer has no more right to break into a man’s home than has a private individual, without a war- rant. He has the right to break into a home to stop | the commission of a felony, to stop a murder, or a rob- bery, or a burglary, or such. So has any man or | woman. | But he has no right to break into a house in order to search it, whether it is for hidden boage or for any- | thing else— | Unless he is armed with a warrant duly issued by the court. | And so Judge Neterer’s decision, the other day, to} this effect, while apparently presenting new aspects | in the enforcement of the prohibition law, really re- curs to fundamentals. It is eminently the thing a judge should do. | It may possibly make it harder to enforce the booze laws under this decision, but it is far better that prohi- || bition should be impaired than the fundamental right | of the people. This is true not only of prohibition, but of many || other things. It is far better, for instance, that non- | partisans should prevail at the ballot box than to for- get the fundamental law to such an extent that free- dom of speech and the right of the ballot be denied to a lawfully constituted political party. Americans, who understand the spirit that truly an- imated the founders of the nation, are perfectly con- tent with Judge Neterer’s decision. | Tears Before Smiles | HE AVERAGE BABY learns to cry before it can laugh. | Tears may be shed as early as the 22nd day, according to Dr. John S.

I look ed foolish swinging at it.” And the same batter knocked a home run on his next trip to the plate, and .after spiking home plats, he returned to the bench and quoth as follows “He threw that last one right down the middie, It was as dig as a balloon and a grammar school hid could have knocked it out of the park.” } | | | | 1 eee ‘They're walking slow Behind John Beek; He tried to solve Our damstte leak. ‘They're wearing crepe For Lucas Lark; He fed the tiger In Woodland J ae Tears come easier than smiles.
