| A Cedar Rapids newspaper reporting
alleged illegal sales of liquor details
the testimony of the witnesses sum-
moned. 1t was very like the evidence
brought out before grand jury
in similar Investigations Witnesses
swore they did not know what beer
tasted like, tho they had often called
for and drank 1t. The evidence elected
from thirty witnesses was OF about
equal value.
One unfamiliar with the elastic moral
code that governs in matters pertaining
to attractions of the liquor laws might
infer from the evidence corkscrewed
out of these witnesses that the little
village of PaIo is better supplied with
periurers than the neither regions are,
proverbially, with ffddlers. Such an in
ference would be wrong. Probabilities
are that the inhabitants of Palo simply
strike the average in mendacity, and no
more. 1t is a marked popularity of
trials of this kind that the consciences
of fairly good men get crosseyed. Men
whose word in any business transaction
is as good as their bond are affected by
moral strabismus and will lie like
Turks when under examination by the
county attorney. A memory usually
tenacious and to be depended upon be-
comes a total wreck and he forgets
times. places and faces with marvellous
facility His judgment, strong on
bunch of steers or business matter OF
any kind, goes glimmering and leaves
poor paretic on the witness stand who
doesn't know beer from soapsuds or
whisky from fair water.
The Linn county case is in no way
UNIQUE Any county attorney who has
had occasion to prosecute liquor cases
has met the same conditions and failed
utterly to make his case when the wires
became crossed In good citizens con-
science and tangled the CONNECTIONS
with truth and its opposite.
Just where men who would scorn
perjury as means to avoid the pay
ment of AN obligation find the point of
honor that impels them to shield a
bootlegger at the expense of veracity
1t is hard to see. Why an otherwise
honest citizen. whose name is synony-
nous in his own neighborhood with
and integrity should at the
door of the grand jury room cast aside
the habit and principles that ordinarily
guide his actions is problem for
psychologists. The cold fact is that in
many instances he does it and that
hop ale joints" and blind pigs" flour
ish for years in communities where this
sense of honor obtains.

girl of Is, living at No. 120 Portage

the many who were afflicted with grip
