EXCEEDING AUTHORITY.

Under date of January l the &c Us
Is sent out from Rex, Oklahoma, that
enforcement" officers seized the
trunk of Superior Judge Farrar Nc
{ ain. at that place, and searched 1t
ior whiskey, scattering the contents,
Including the clothing of the judge,
end his wife over the depot platform,
st. The officers were disappointed
IN not finding whiskey."
II seems from the story sent out to
tie press that Judge Mccain ana
his wife, had been visiting in Little
Rock, Ark, and had checked their
trunk from that point to Rex. Upon
their arrival at their home the judge
rad sent his negro yard man to the
depot for the trunk. Because he vas
a negro the enforcement" officers
sized him up as bootlegger and
when he presented the check and
identified the trunk the seizure and
search was made. The news item
SAYS that Judge Mccain, who Is FUR
icusly angry. has demanded the re-
moval of the enforcement officers
and will sue the railroad company for
damages"
And it is to be hoped that he re-
covers damages in a good, round sum.
For while it is true that Oklahoma,
as whole, is a prohibition state, and
while that part of Oklahoma which
is composed of the old Indian Terri
tory. is directly under and amenable
to the federal laws, so far as the sale
Introduction and transporting" of in
tox,catng liquors are concerned, it Is
nevertheless also true that there IS
duty which the railway companies
owe their patrons for the safe deliv-
cry. as well as the safe transporta-
tcn of their baggage. Also, while IT
may be necessary, and doubtless is
necessary for the federal goyornmcnt
TO appoint and employ officers to see
that the Indian r rritory" liquor
laws are enforced and that liquor Is
not transported" there can be no
doubt of the we'll established fact that
there is not a day passes but that

GALL STONES REMOVED
WITHOUT AN OPERATION

After suffering for one year with
gall stones, was told by a friend to
try Swamp Root. | began with the
fifty-cent size and after using four
bottles found that was much better.
Then began using the larger size
bottles and after taking three bottles
was cured. That has been seven
years ago this summer and l have
never been sick since that time from
this disease.
| can cheerfully recommend DR..
Kilmer's Swamp Root to any one for
kidney and bladder troubles hoping
it may do as much good for many
people as it did for me.

re do not exceed their authority and,
Italtin gadvantage of the 'p, Ner IN
them vested outrage the personal
privileges Of passengers who are be-
ing transported through the state, or
into the state on the cars of the diff
felent railway companies trains.
The laws of the nation say that in
toxicating liquors shall not be trans
rorted in that portion of the state OF
Oklahoma composed of the old Indian
Territory. At the same time the laws
of the nation, and the laws of the
stute. SAYS that every traveller into,
or through the state Is entitled 10
safe transportation of himself ana
his effects. The laws of the nation
sanctions the appointment OF EN-
fore ement" officers to see that the
liouor laws are not violated but these
laws do not convey the power to ev-
cry pussy foot to break open the
personal baggage Of anyone unless
there be almost a certainty that the
contents of that baggage is illegiti-
mate. or contraband.
Oklahoma, as "A whole, is one of the
gre atest states-so far as opportuhi
ties offered are concerned-in this
country. We have soil that can not
BE- SURPASSED by it's fertility, we have
p people who, morally, socially, IL
tel!ectually and every Way-rank with /
the very best, but Oklahoma is being /
gwen some of the most adverse OF /
adverse advertising among the pee !
ple of other states. What man Is |
[, ere who cares to come to a state, |
who cares to even travel through q |
state where his baggage is subject |
to search by every reinforcement
officer who strains, if he does not eX-
coed his authority, in the name OF en-
forcing the law? Who is it that VII |
care to become citizen of the state |
where, in the name of the law, ms |
trunks may be broken into at will and
his and his wife's personal belong
irgs scattered over the depot plat
form" so that the officers may be
disappointed in not finding whis-
key"
We have laws which call for the |
of officers. We have laws |
defining the duties of these officers !
ard when an officer, be he state or
federal, exceeds his authority he be-
comes at once amenable to the laws
Of the land just the same as anyone
else.
Even in a trial OF a culprit charged
with the laws violation, charged with
perhaps, the most heinous crime, he
is supposed by the law which he is
accused of violating, to be considered
Innocent until he is proven guilty,
anG. beyond a reasonable doubt in
al. cases the court so instructs the
jury. Failure upon the part of a
trial court to give this instruction,
when asked, or failure of jury %
consider it, when given. constitutes
grounds for a reversal by a superior
court. This being the case - If a
Judge exceeds his authority in pre-
juGging the guilt of the prisoner in
the dock, if a jury exceeds its author
i,v in eliminating the reasonable
doubt" in its finding-then does not
eren federal enforcement officer
exceed his authority when he takes It
for granted that piece of baggage
rlay contain contraband goods and
searches the same before he has sat
iN.ied all concerned beyond reas'
o. able doubt?"
