Circumstantial Evidence

Although courts cleared him of a charge of
forgery eight years ago. the stain of felon
chung to the president of Chicago theatre until
this week when his convict double was identified
as the man who swindled Boston broker out of
$4,000.
1t was case of mistaken identity, detectives
and police offered as extenuation It was years
of hell on earth for the man who lost position
after position as soon as his employers learned
that he had stood trial for forgery. The verdict
of not guilty kept him out of the penitentiary,
but did not reinstate him in the estimation of
the business world.
Even after he had established successful
business, his associates asked him to resign
when they learned of the old charge He did
but they paid him 100000 for his interest in the
enterprise. He entered other business lines and
prospered, but the brand of criminal could not
be erased
With the convict double behind the prison
bars, the Chicago man for the first time in
years can face the world unafraid. His ntagri-
ty has been indicated. Circumstantial evidence
might have sent him to the prison. He was
spared that disgrace, but not the ignominy of
being Stunned by his former associates and
friends. Circumstantial evidence is too flinsy
Ito be used as basis for depriving man of his
freedom or his life.

Enforcing the Prohibition Law

The state of Washington became dry terri
tory on January !. Drug stores in Seattle have
been conducting blind tigers since the saloons
were closed. The mayor and the chief of police,
determined that illegal sales of liquor shall
cease, have instituted crusade that for effect
iveness rivals the work of Cary Nation. In one
drug store, store fixtures and liquors estimated
to be worth $4,000 were destroyed by the police
Officers swung axes against plate glass mirrors,
oak shelves and fixtures and furnishings. Only
the drugs were spared. This action may seem
drastic, but if people vote community dry, the
will of the majority must be enforced Blind
tigers cannot be condoned and the police are only
doing their duty when they go the limit to break
up illegal sales of liquor

A Disgraceful Situation


The New York World says It is disgrace
that the President should be obliged to call out
the national guard of three states because the
regular army is not large enough to pursue one
bandit. Editorially it comments.
It is disgraceful that this should happen be-
cause Congress is deadlocked over the Army Bill
and the House should refuse by overwhelming
majorities to accept the adequate and necessary
measure passed by the Senate.
The National Guard even if all of it were mo-
biized in Texas New Mexico and Arizona, is not
fitted for the work that must be done. Under
the present law not a single guardsman can be
sent across the Mexican border, no matter what
the provocation may be. A bandit raidng party
that succeeded in recrossing the line would be
safe from pursuit, no matter what crimes it had
committed. If regular troops were attacked by
overwhelming numbers on Mexican soil, the
militiamen could not be sent to reinforce them.
So far as the Mexican situation is concerned
the National Guard is a broken rifle which can
be used only as club at short range. And this
is the one weapon the President has at hand, now
that the country has been practically stripped
of regular troops for the Villa expedition.
Conditions in respect to Mexico are becom-
ing steadily more threatening. Nobody can
foresee what day may bring forth, and still
Congress plays local politics with the Army Bill
Unless the House or the Senate gives way,
there will be no Army Bill at ALL Each has re-
jected the bill of the other Each has instructed
it's members of the conference committee to stand
by it's own measure. In such circumstances no
compromise is possible, and compromise that
substituted the House bill for the Senate bill
would be an indefensible surrender.
The Senate bill is not an extravagant meas
ure. It merely provides for regular army that
would the country from such humiliation
as it is now experiencing along the Mexican from
tier in being too weak to protect its own citizens
and its own territory from hired bandits. AS
President Wilson told the committee of the
American Union Against Militarism, there is
nothing extravagant in army of 100000
men" for a Nation of 100,O00,O00 inhabitants. If
that is nilitarisn1, then the New York police
force is militarism.
There ought to be some power or influence
in self-governing country by which the House
OF Representatives could be brought to it's
senses and made to serve the national welfare.
1t is intolerable that Congress should be so
blind and so stupid soddenly Indifferent to it's
grave responsibilities and duties. The case is IN
finitely worse when we consider that the army
created by the Senate bill is at most only tenn
porary, and that by the terms of the Constitu-
ton the next Congress will have full authority
to diminish it if 100000 men are no longer
needed.

Introducing the New Series
Paige Fairfield "Six-46"

In the New Series Paige Fairfield "Six-46,"
we introduce the most completely
equipped motor car that can be pur-
chased on the American n1ar<et-Gbso-
LuteIy irrespective of price.
This is a broad clainn-a sweeping claim.
But like every other statement made in
the announcements of this company, it
is the actual, literal Truth. Any COM
parative investigation will establish the
fact convincingly.
And, when we speak of complete equip
ment, please understand that we refer
to every luxury and convenience that can
contribute to the comfort of motoring.
The New Series Fairfield is complete car
a finished car. From every standpoint it
represents the last word in elegance
and luxury.
Right now we might attempt to describe
for you the many features that have
been added to this greatest of all light
Skies. Even partial list of accessories
would startle the man who believes that
extreme motoring comfort is necessarily
matter of prohibitive cost.
But we do not purpose to corfne ourselves
to descriptions, for this is one instance
where mere words fail completely.
To appreciate this car you must see il,
ride in it, driUe it. Then, and then only
can you understand what thoroughly
great achievement it represents. Then,
and then only, will you realize that
