There In foolish, old fashioned
clause in the Constitution Of the United
States which says:
1.-THE right OF the people to be secure
In their persons, houses, papers and ef-
fects, against unreasonable searches and
seizures. shall not DO violated and no war
rants shall issue but upon probable cause,
supported by oath or affirmation. and
particularly describing the place to be
searched and the persons or things to be
seized"
One cannot help wondering to-day
what the sturdy New York freemen
who insisted on the incorporation OF
the bill Of rights, containing this pro-
vision, as n condition Of ratifying the
Constitution, would have said II they
could have foreseen Mr.. WILLIAM G..
McADoo's proposed amendment TO the
income tax law. Even those inspired
OF the new freedom can hardly fail to
perceive a contrast OF spirit between
the organic mandate quoted above and
the following requirement Of the new
statute setting up general inquisition
as part of our governmental system:
"Eve, company or association as above
described and every Individual subject to
the income tax law shall also permit free
access to all books. papers. records and
securities OF every kind, no matter where
or how kept. whether for itself. himself
or for another, by any revenue agent or
inspector employed for the purpose of In.
vestlgatlng income tax returns or In as.
certaining whether such returns should
have been made where no returns were
flled."
Perhaps 1t may be said that the
whole issue turns on the definition OF
the word reasonable in the constitu
tional clause. SO 1t does and the ques
ton now Is whether the suspicion OF
Mr. McADoo or OF any one OF his thou
sands OF employees or Of any informer
moved by recklessness or malice. makes

Nicholson and the Navy

Alcohol as a beverage has been
barred ont of the United States navy.
t-ottUwrr1g tine recommendation or SUR
geon-Genera1 Braisted, Secretary OF the
Navy Josephus Daniels has issued an
executive order abolishing all alco-
hohc liquors from every ship and sta.
ton of the navy. The order reads:
The use or introduction, for drinking
purposes, OF alcoholic liquors on board
any naval vessel, or within any naval
yard or station, is strictly prohibited.
and commanding officers will be held
directly responsible for the enforce
ment of this order" The significance
and extent of the change which has
taken place in popular views regard.
ing alcohol, as indicated by this
sweeping order OF the secretary, can
be appreciated only when one recalls
, the stories OF naval experiences or
past generations, when rum, brandy
and whisky formed a part OF the regu-
lar official rations, when liquor or
some kind was served, as a routine
procedure, 10 officers and men before
going into action, and when one or
the chief characteristics of sailors,
whether officers or seamen, was their
ability TO dispose of an amazing guam
tity of intoXicants. The development
of scientific methods and the use or
instruments OF precision in warfare
have made alcohol absolutely detri-
mental 10 the modern naval man.
| Sea fights in the past were won by
brute hardihood and physical endur.
ance which could perhaps be stimulat-
ed, temporarily at least, by large doses
OF alcohol. The modern warship is a
floating laboratory OF delicate and ac-
curate machines. The gun-pointer
who directs a 14-inch rifle on the mod
ern man-of-war needs not only personal
courage, but also absolute steadiness
| or nerve, clearness OF vision and fine
! muscular coordination. All these
things modern physiology has shown
to be impaired by even small amounts
! OF alcohol. The engineer who super
intends the machinery at the heart or
the modern battleship, the man at the
wheel who directs its course and the
! captain or the executive officer on the
| bridge, as well as the most humble
member of the crew, need at all times
! 10 be IN condition OF maximum phys
zeal and mental efficiency. Intoxica-
! ton in the naval officer today might
! easily be as disastrous as cowardice
and treason. The Journal OF the Amer
lean Medical association thinks that
Surgeon-General Braisted's recommen-
dations and Secretary Daniels order
are simply in line with our growing
| knowledge. The nation needs on it's
battleships today the most capable,
clear-headed. cool-brained and steady
handed men, and these men are not
found among the habitual or occasion
al users Of alcohol in any form. En-
tirely aside from moral or sentimental
reasons, and considered simply as
scientific regulation in the interest~of
efficiency, this order will recommend
itself TO the vast majority or the
American people - Journal Of the
American Medical association.
