Pizitz Residence Is
 Entered by Burglars
Robberies at Dwelling Houses Re- ported to Police-Burglars
 Escape

The home of Mrs Louis Pizitz, 342s Highland avenue, was entered by burg lars last night about o'clock and two rocketbooks containing $36 was stolen from the living room. The burglars en- tered through a side window in the sec ond story by means of ladder. Hear ing noises in the room which she knew to be unoccupied, Mrs. Pizitz called the po- lice department. City detectives Malone and Heflin answered the call, but when they arrived the burglars had escaped. Although there was valuable jewelry near the money the jewelry was urmo- tested. The detectives as yet, have no clue to the robbers.
 The house occupied by J. c. Lee,i Eighth avenue. south, was also reported to have been burglarized about the same time. A ladies hat and some more valuable clothing was stolen. This time the burg lars entered through screen in the back of the building.

TRUSS GIVES HIS VIEWS ON CRIME
 WAVE OVER CITY
Police Officers Chase Boot leggers Rather Than Burg lars, Because It's More
 Profitable, He Says

James D. Truss, former city com missioner of public improvements and now a member of the state legislature, just returned from Montgomery, is very much of the opinion that The Age-Herald hit the keynote in a re- cent editorial upon the curtailment of crimes in this city under the caption, s"Crimes Worse Than Bootlegging 3Traffic."
 We should make study of the Hrapidly multiplying homicides due to an effort to enforce the bone-dry y law said Mir. Truss yesterday f The Age-Herald published under \ the caption, Crime Worse Than Boot \ iegging Traffic very interesting ed- ltorial, and after complimenting the personnel of the police department, !, closed the editorial with this para graph: If our s1euths would have a hobby let it be that of driving thugs and burglars out of town rather than working overtime for the suppression of bootlegging. important and praise worthy as that activity may be-
 POLICE OFFICERS HUMAN
 Our police officers are limited, but if we had 1000, being only human be- ings, they would employ their whole time or as much of their time as pos sible. in catching bootleggers and blind tigers. There is more money in 1t. What officer can devote his energy and time in chasing burglars, thugs, murderers and rapists, or the fiends who burn schoolhouses and homes. when for such service he can only hope to get as compensation his daily bread? Why should an officer notice these minor offenses against society while the damned rumseller is running at large? Why should an officer run in a highwayman for nothing when he can get $50 for catching a booze dealer? We have ample proof that this is greater offense--in the eyes of our wise legislators-than rape, murder or arson.
 "A man can be placed in jeopardy only once for the offense of rape, mur- der or arson, but if he has violated the prohibition laws he is subjected to as many trials as his prosecutors may de- sire, or until they get a satisfactory verdict. In the case of rape, murder or arson the trial judge can set aside a verdict when error is discovered, but not so if the man being tried is accused of violating the prohibition

laws. The insane good people appear unconscious of the outrageous condi- tions which they have imposed. They have made a mountain out of a mole hill. and society must endure burglary, rape. murder and arson while our of- ffcers are more profitably employed in arresting bootleggers. The unwise good people have said they were will ing to make any sacrifice to suppress the whisky traffic. They are mad. and civilization must mark time while they are vested with power.
 MEMBERS DIDN'T KNOW
 'T think I am safe in saying there were not more than six members of the house of representatives who knew what they were voting for when the Weakley bone-dry law was passed by that body. It was passed by an un- thinking majority who were willing to make any sort of sacrifice. Vain pleas were made to have the bill printed so that the members could read it and vote intelligently, but no; prohibition ists vested with kingly power could do no wrong. Why vote intelligently?
 "The house reminded me of vast herd of elephants passing in a street parade. The largest. guided by the third house. being placed in front. and the next largest with his snout wrapped around the tail of the big elephant following in order of size. and so on down to the smallest of the herd. Watch the procession Hats off to the elephant directing the parade. While our shouts are wrapped around his tail wave of crime sweeps over our state. Highwavmen and burglars are multiplying. Murder is more common and will multiply. The leader of the herd says if we had the referendum in this country that the same conditions would obtain as now exist in Russia. Our free schools. which we had sup posed to be great boon. have utterly failed in their objects, if the enlignt- ened mind mistakes liberty for H. cense. as is the case in Russia The big leading elephant is real autocrat and to be admired--but what can we say for the minimizing herd which follows. chanting the song: 'Whither- soever Thou Lead Will Follow2"
 WOULDN'T KNOW DEMOCRAT
 "The man with his snout wrapped around the tail of the autocrat, breath ing the gases eminating therefrom, will never know how a democrat smells. They claim to be democrats, but are unwilling for the people to have direct vote in amending a fundamental law Their ideas are very much at variance with my conception of democracy, and I believe they not only seek to destroy our form of gov ernment, but by their methods they unknowingly are undermining the very foundation on which Christianity rests.
 These good people. and mean what say when I call them good, exhort us to come over on the side of the Lord, but would send us to jail for do- ing the same things which the Savior did. A religion depending upon the law for it's enforcement has no foundation on which it can stand"
