INSISTS THAT WAC"
LAW Be EMF ORCED
IN WEST VIRGINIA
ATTORNEY GENERAL ENGLAND
SAYS OFFICERS MUST MAKE
ARRESTS.
COMPLAINT NOT NECESSARY
WHEN OFFICERS KNOW ACT
Is BROKEN.
SAYS 1T is ALSO THE DUTY OF
CITIZENS TO REPORT
LOAFGRS.

1t is the duty of any justice OF the
peace or other officer charged with
the enforcement of the lyws of the
state, without the Formally of taking
the sworn complaint of another, to
apprehend and deal with violator of
the anti-vagrancy law when such of
ficer has first hand knowledge thNt
such person Is violator in fact.
Attorney General E. T. England has
so construed the law against loafers
and oilers in an opinion rendered to
the state council of defense on an in
curry from Jesse V. Sullivan, secre.
'tpry of that body. Mr.. England says:
81 have before me your letter in
which you refer to the vagrancy act
of the second extraordinary session
of the legislature Of 1917, which re.
quireS all bale4bodied citizens be
tween Is and 60 years of age to en-
gage in some useful, lawful and rec
ognized business, profession, occupa-
ton or employment for a cerSain
number of hours each week; and you
ask if it is the duty Of all peace Off
GERS to enforce this act without COM
plant being initiated by citizens, you
being under the impression that it
is part of their sworn duty as peace
officers so to act
prosecutions under the vagrancy
fact of 1917 are instituted and con-
Quoted as other criminal proseeu-
tions, and justices, mayors and police
judges are given jurisdiction to try
and punish under the act. 1t is clear
ly the duty of all peace officers and
all other officers, to see that this law
is enforced.
ANY Justice, mayor or police Judge,
or any policeman, constable or sheriff
or officer of like character, has the
right to arrest, or cause the arrest,
of any person violating any criminal
statute in his presence, and forthwith
have him tried, and punished if found
guilty.
"You will recall that at common law
a peace officer has no right 10 make
arrest of person charged with a
misdemeanor, except upon a warrant
issued by a court of competent juris-
diction, unless the offense is COM
mitted in his presence.
IF any peace officer be cognizant
in his own knowledge of a violation
of the vagrancy act, it is his duty to
enforce the act without the formality
of complaint by a citizen; and it
is equally the duty of jail persons
other than officers, knowing of a vio-
lation of the act, to make complaint
and thus uphold the law"

1t is especially important }at this

the effects of extreme war dieting
may prove a lesson as well as an inspi
ration.
Lord Rhondda, who was plain David
Thomas Welsh, mining magnate, made
good as food controller. Working hard,
he carried Hooverizing so far in his own
case as to become extremely thin where
he had been a portly figure capable of
posing for John Bull He boosted of
maintaining health on a food allowance
far smaller than he imposed on others.
But he boosted too soon, fell i'll from
privation and offered his resignation.
In war dieting as in other ways men
must do what they must do. If diet
ing even to extremes that injure the
health of civilians is absolutely un-
avOidable-and Germany long ago
reached that state-sincere men may
serve in that way by fairly observing
the rules, even at some loss of vigor
But there is no virtue in OVERRIDING the
matter by undertaking extreme and
quixOtic fasts. Food is saved for the
war not by few persons submitting
to hurtful privations but by reasonable
economies and moderate curtailment of
use by the entire community.

GERMANY,s NEW MAN POWER

Boston Post: 1t is only the expected
and the Characteristic, this determine
tion on the part of Germany to bring
Lithuania and the other states stolen
from Russia into the war as supplies of
money, stores and perhaps men for the
kaiser 5 fighting forces But what a
grotesque mockery of words is it for
Wilhelm to couple his recognition of
Lithuania as "a free and Independent
state with the savage hint that
Lithuania will participate in the war
burdens of Germany" Free and
yet ground beneath the heel of the
Teuton's war necessities. Could any
thing be more chastity
But, thank Providence there is a
future Lithuania and Belgium and
Serbia and Courland and Poland will
all have part in it. The brigands of
postdam must some day loosen their
hands from their loot. That is to be
the sure means of triumph of the
allies over Hunnish greed and theft.

POOL, ORDER STANDS

Wallace Press-Tmes: Governor NJ.
Alexander has refused to molly the
pool-room closing order as requested ~
the state council of defense, and IL
stands as originally issued.
There are conditions under which such
places seem to be almost a public neces-
sity; in places where there are many
men without families, where they have
no homes. where their work may be at
night leaving the days free and no
place to go.
But these are war times; no man s
time is absolutely his own, even his
leisure after his days toll. If he can
make garden, if he can help on a farm,
if he can drill and make of himself
potential soldier ready for the day ne
is called either to go abroad or TO
fight the Hun enemy if he should break
past the British guard and come to
America-spare time may be comman-
deered by the government for the pub
lie welfare.
The order is here, anyhow; it is to be
obeved. as war measure. Many man
could buy few dollars worth OF good
books. and make his own life Infinitely
richer than it is, with the time ana
money now spent in pool halls
Maybe the order will not increase
the gardens too greatly, OF. make the
sale of books really great industry;

dierIy drill do offer a substitute

PLOTTING TO BE PREVENTED

Memphis Commercial Appeal; The
sedition bill was possibly too far-reach-
ing in the minds of many conservative
members, but it is not the time to let
ultra conservatism stand in the way of
any measure looking to clearing the
atmosphere of all clouds of doubt. The
opposition to placing in the hands of
one man the power to say what is sedi-
tious literature and what is not, and to
prohibit the use of mails may be go
ing to extremes, but it is not time for
questioning the purpose of the bill.

SHOE BILL is SOME ITEM

Pocatello Tribune: At present prices
of shoes and leather, the footwear bill
has become one of the heaviest of the
family charges. The man who has four
or five children, all to be shOd at per
haps an average of So per pair, has
some burden in this item. 1t is hard
to get live children, particularly boys,
to take any care of their shoes. They
will wear their newest pair out into the
wet and dirt and mud, thereby drying
and cracking the leather.
There was a decided fall in price of
hides this spring, owing to the increas-
ed amounts of cattle being raised. This
may be a temporary fluctuatiOn. If it
continues, shoes can not be kept at their
present prices. Shoe manufacturing is
one branch of industry that has never
been controlled regularly by any trust.
There the so many different grades
of leather, and they shade into each
other so gradually, that you can t es-
tablish any uniform price lists. SO we
can feel sure that when a lower cost
of leather warrants lower prices, the
sharp competition prevailing in this
field will bring down the price Of shoes.
You can still buy a shoe for So or 81,
but it is a far different article from
what you formerly got. The leather Is
cut out from the loosest portions of the
animal s skin, and it will quickly crack
and go to pieces.
No kind of shoe will wear unless it is
cut from those portions of the back
and side of the hide that are firmly knit
together with a fine texture. 1t is so
easy to dress up the poorer materials by
blackings and gums that fill up the
coarse pores, that most people can not
safely trust their own judgment in buy
ing shoes The best way is to buy some
standard make from a reputable deal
or. Advertised goods can best be de-
pended upon, because no dealer aver

)AL WEEK PROCLAIMED
Gov. Alexander Gives Notice of Pur-
pose, June 3-8.

Gov. Alexander has issued the follow
ing proclamation for the observance
of coal week:
Whereas, the national fuel admin
istrator has asked that the week begin
ming June 3 and ending on June s, be
set aside as coal week, during which
week the citizens of our state shall
make arrangements for their winter coal
with the various dealers of their con-
munity; and
Whereas it will be impossible in the
fall during crop movement and when
other war activities become more inteu-
sified to deliver coal; and
Whereas, in some of the coal min
ing regions west of the Missouri river
the production of coal has decreased
on account of no orders; md
Whereas, in conformity with the re-
quest of the national fuel aministra-
tor and for the best interests of the
people of the state of Idaho and for the
winning of this war;
"Now, I, Moses Alexander, governor
of the state of Idaho do request that
the week beginning June and end
ing June be designated coal week
for Idaho, and l do hereby request the
state council of defense, the county
councils of defense and all civic and
patriotic societies throughout the state
to call the attention of the people of
their communities to this important
matter to provide fuel for the winter
and to urge the matter to such an ex-
tent that everyone shall make provisions
for their coal, and if not in whole TO
provide for a part of their next winter s
fuel so that the government may have
the full use of transportation facilities
for war activities and fof the movement

CHRONIC CONSTIPATION.

Perhaps you have never thought of it,
but this disorder is due to a lack of
moisture in the residual matter of the
food. If you will drink an abundance
of water, eat raw fruits and take lots
of outdoor exercise, you may be able
eventually to overcome it entirely. In
the meantime use the most mild and
gentle laxatives. Strong and harsh
cathartics take too much water out of
the system and make a bad matter
worse. Chamberlain Is Tablets are easy
and pleasant to take, and most agree
