IN HOTEL LOBBIES
 AND ELSEWHERE
On Government Property.

T have noticed through the columns of the press recently where the city of ficers have boarded trains and searched for liquor" said George S. Tyler, special agent of the Birmingham Belt railroad, and in my opinion they should look up the law on the subject before doing such a thing. They are on government prop erty when on the trains and only a gov ernment officer can let ally make an ar rest on government property.
 "Of course if the officers would get on the train and wait until the people got off and then make the search it would be all right I was formerly identified with the city detective department for several years and I have watched this practice with great deal of interest In my opinion city officers cannot legally make an arrest on government property and I believe the United States district attorney will bear me out in this we do not operate passenger trains and l am not personally interested in this ques- tion.''

Conservation of Food
 Important Matter

TT HE excessive rainfall is bad on
 O the food crops and unless sea- sonable weather is soon in evidence this years harvests will be cut short.
 Last years food production was so abundant as to create large sur plus for export. As result there has been little appeal by the government for increased acreage or little urging of conservation. But with continued "wet spell' in the corn belt conserva- tion will again become imperative.
 Waste, that was formerly serious American habit, has been greatly minimized, and in certain directions has virtually been eliminated.
 With the ending of the war there has been less urgency for super abundance of food in this land of plenty, but it is not too soon for the agricultural department to turn it's attention again to the question of con- |servation.
 With a poor food yield there will be need of every bushel of grain and every pound of meat for supplying domestic as well as foreign demand.

JUDGE KNEESHAW'S VIEW
OF JUDICIARY MEASURE

A large number of tile voters of
the Seventh Judicial District have
written me asking my opinion of
House Bill l24, known as the Judi
ciary Bill, and in order to avoid the
necessity of answering each one by
mail, adopt this method of replying
to such inquiries.
At the present time the State is
divided into twelve Judicial Districts,
with one District Judge for each
district. The new bill increases the
judges from twelve to fifteen and
enlarges the districts and reduces
the number of districts from twelve
to six. In my opinion the increase
in judges is absolutely unnecessary.
Instead of increasing the number of
judges, we could very easily attend
to the business with less judges; in
fact, in my opinion ten District
Judges could easily handle the busi-
ness in the State, and therefore tbs
new law would entail a useless ex.
pendlture of about $40. 900. 90 year
by the taxpayers OF the State. I an
therefore in favor referend of this
law.
Respectfully Submitted,
w. j. Kneeshaw,
Judge Seventh Judicial District
