many places the covering has no sup

through the trial Attorney Cole
scored insurance companies in a gen
eral way, but particularly one that ap-
pears to be quite popular in this COM
munity. They We're all sharks in his
estimation and this one the biggest
shark of all. He went SO far as to
say that the policy in question was is
sued without any application An.
application had been made and. it was
rejected. but soon afterward the pol
icy was issued and request accom-
panied it that another application be
made. And one was made. So that,
according to Attorney Cole. all the
rules of the company We're ignored in
this instance. the policy having been
issued before the application was
made. However, the motion was
overruled. This morning the argu-
ments began and they took up the

caa Gen. Mccullough Deny It?

The statutes against liquor selling
allow search without warrent, which
is unconstitutional. They force a
man to give evidence against him
self-which is unrighteous.
They make the court prosecut-
ing officer as we'll as a judge-which
is the French justice shown IN the
Dreyfus case.
They allow judge to issue an
injunction and to imprison without
trial by jury-which is unconstitn-
tional.
The present liquor laws are un-
constitutional, violate the principles
of human liberty, and are tyrannical,
unrighteous and inc effective.
Let us hear if any prohibition
organ can deny single one of these
indictments.
