ALL SHOULD READ THE
FEDERAL CONSTITUTION
A leading member of the Los An
geles Bar association declares people
do not protect their constitutional
fights as they should, that they are
careless and indifferent to that which
protects them from unauthorized as
sults by the law enforcing officials.
He says some of the unlawful work
is due to a lack of knowledge of the
constitution on the part of the police
and other agents of the law. and
that this ignorance is matched by so
many of the people who are no better
informed. It is pointed out that if
people were better informed as to
their rights and would insist upon
them being respected there would be
less outrages on the part of the po
lice with more respect) for the laws
they are charged with guarding.
In a press comment is found a brief
account of the statement above re
ferred to, showing that one member
of the bar knows what he is talk
ing about, and he is not afraid to
speak out. This follows:
"From Hubert Morrow of the Los
Angeles Bar association, comes sharp
criticism of disregard for the rights i
nf nrivatp nersons. He savs it is

evident inai mot-i policemen uu nui
read the constitution. The same is
true of the public generally. Con
stitutional rights are violated be
cause few know their rights in spite
of the lack of a written constitution,
invaders of such rights, even though
they are magistrates, find actions at
law plastered on them. The result is
a profound respect for the rights of
individuals, which would prevail here
if people were ready to defend them.

read the accounts and know any-
thing about a protecting clause in i
a federal constitution. Raids with
out number have been made upon
citizens even in their homes without
a legal warrant and persons resist
ing the wrongful warrant are very
liable to be killed. This has been
fully shown in the enforcement of
prohibition with Senator Dill of
Washington, himself a dry, charg-
ing that nearly 300 citizens had been
killed by federal prohibition officials
for alleged resistance to their illegal
raids, whereas the only resistance
was, that in asking information about
the warrant. He said he knew of
one case where a citizen had been
killed on his own steps and nothing
was ever done about it, no courts
have been found who would take
cognizance, violating their sworn
duties, one of which is to obey the j
constitution of this country.
Everyone should read the federal
constitution, citizens and enforcing
officials alike.
ME. H00VEE MAEKING TIME
Almost daily the newspaper carry
some expression of dissatisfaction,
Jprotest or objection to the pending
tariff bill. Never before in the his-
tinues at its task of revising the
.Hawley schedules, but whether it is
revising them downward or upward
the public does not know.
Dots anybody outside of the com
mittee know? Does Mr. Hoover
know? We mention the President
for two reasons. First, no other in
dividual in the world can be so vital
ly interested in this bill as he. His
political fortune, his place in his
tory, is in the balance. Second, no
other individual has the power to
shape the character of this bill which
(
he possesses. With the public senti
ment which he can muster with a
word he can, we believe, compel the
committee to comply with his instruc
tions, carry out the party's pledge
and his personal wishes for a limit
ed revision as embodied in his mes
sage. So far as the public knows, Mr.
Hoover has spoken no word. He seems
to be neutrally marking time. In
our opinion that is a disappointing
and dangerous policy for him to pur
sue. In his brief presidential tenure
he has already had a costly exper
ience which might well convince him
as to the unwisdom of this course.
The Senate Committee on Agricul
ture, when drafting the farm re-
jlief, sought his views. He "declined
1 to interfere." The result was that
wnoie aimospiiere vi me suuauuii ul
Washington, strained, and. in some
instances broke important friendships
and created entanglements which
Ore likely to persist as liabilities
throughout Mr. Hoover's official life.
The President's reluctance, at the
very beginning of his term, to impose
his views on Congress, his desire
scrupulously to observe the tradition
al deadline between the Executive
nnd Legislative departments of the
Government, is understood and ap
preciated. But where Executive co
operation is sought by the Legisla
tors surely it may, with all propriety
be given, and, especially in an in
stance, where, if it is not given, a
great popular expectation may he dis
appointed and a great public service
defeated.
The conditions surrounding the
tariff bill may not be identical with
those of farm relief, but if ever
presidential interference was war
ranted while yet there is time to
make interference effective the
tariff bill is surely such an occasion.
As the Post-Dispatch sees it, Mr.
Hoover's capacity for leadership is
being tested. It may be argued that
the power of the veto is his, by
which he can void unwise legisla-
tion.
That is an important power.
Freouentlv it calls for courage. At
-
least one President made his reputa
tion leargely by exercising that pre
rogative. But the veto, after all, is
sort of a negative virtue. It does
not enlist either the vision or valor
of that constructive leadership which
charges into the battle, not to pre
vent blundering, but to accomplish
the thing desired.
It would be nothing less than a
,1 tragedy for the Hoover administra
tion to be scuttled at its launching
'of the grave economic consequences

the peace prospects which the Hoo

WHO SHALL GUAED THE GUARDS,
Some 10,000 barrels of good medi
cinal whisky and from 50,000 to C0,-
000 cases of the same stuff in pint
. bottles have mysteriously disanpear-
mitted good grain alcohol and water.
.half and half, for what was taken
from the barrels. That lowered the
profits to about 51,500,000 and baf
fled detection for a long time, since
the substituted liquid was 100 proof
and would stand the test of any Gov-
ernment guage.
The stolen whisky was under Gov
ernment bond and seal. It was on an
upper floor of the warehouse, which
was guarded from without by every
device which the wit of prohibition
enforcement could devise. It was
guarded from within by a swarm of
watchers and guagers and rectifiers.
Yet the elaborate work of getting the
good whisky out and the fake whisky
in its place went on undetected and
undisturbed.
And this is only one of the many
cases since prohibition where bond
ed warehouses have sprung a big
broad leak.
If the Government cannot enforce
prohibition in protection of its own
especially guarded medicinal sup
plies,, what are the chances of en
forcement as against an army of
bootleggers at large and the million
or more illicit stills and breweries
and fermenting stores of fruit Juices?
If it cannot trust its own carefully
selected warehouse guards, how
about the mass of its enforcement
agents in the field?

Who shall guard the guards them
selves? St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

HAPHAZARD METHODS
Are you a thoughtless man in
whatever you do?
Is your daily work mechanical,
stabbing here and there in your ef
forts? Your golf results should prove to
you what your efforts will bring
along other lines unless you alter
your natural method.
You know that rhythm and con
centration are necessary to best re
sults in golf, so why not try rhythm
and concentration in your daily
work?
Your bad habit of rushing and
stabbing at what you do is one that
can get you a lot of trouble.
You may turn out considerable
work by this process, but very likely
there is as much to offset the ad
vantage you think you have gained.
This run, rush, and stab-away or
doing things takes a heavy toll of
mental as well as physical vitality.
You'll accomplish more in your life
and be happier if you train yourself
to be rhythmic and positive in work
and play.
It may be a struggle to do this.
but you will find the result will be
worth the effort.

DE PRIEST MERELY LIED
And now it develops that Oscar De
Priest, Chicago Negro Congressman,
lied when be said that he witnessed
the lynching of three negroes in his
native town, Florence, Ala., "and the
Democrats of the South were bo bar
baric they drove my parents to the
North."
A rigid investigation made cover
ing the period of the De Priests lives
in Florence, Ala., shows that no such
lynchings as described occurred in
the community.
Investigation likewise shows that
the De Priests, yearning for social
equality, moved from Alabama to
Kansas, and there they were quickly
mulcted of all they had by their
new-found social equality white
friends, after which Oscar De
Priest drifted into Chicago and stead
ily climbed to his present position,
boss of the negro underworld of the
windy city. So says the Jackson
