The inyariable reply was that Birmingham savings deposits had not only not been eaten into, but that they had grown month by month during the past two years and were growing now.

Law and Lawlessness.
(st. Louis Post-Dispatch., !,

tch' AodAo L Oot oAcPdtNhsJ
Posing as revenue agents, gang of
bandits broke into citizens home a
few nights ago, and with pointed
revolvers held the family at bay
while ransacking the house and blow
ing safe. Had resistance been
offered, there can be no doubt that
murder would have been committed
as we'll as burglary.
That liquor thefts will presently be
accompanied by murder is as certain
as anything in the future may be said
to be certain. Not to recognize that
fact is to shut your eyes to the record
of such burglaries and their steadily
ascending scale of boldness. The cir
cumstances shrek out that prophecy.
Consider the circumstances, The
law has made liquor the most profit
able contraband the burglar may
procure. Further, the law has be-
come accessory of the burglar before,
during and after the fact. The law
oompels the citizen to open his door
at any hour of day or night and sub
NIT to whatever humiliating search
and seizure the officers of the law
may decide. The consequences is
that the citizen, by law, is compelled
to expose himself and his family, not
only to the law, but to the marauding
lawlessness of dreadful possibilities
that secures admission, as in the case
under discussion, by representing it
self as the law. True, the citizen
may question the honesty of such
representation, yet he is restrained
from defending himself lest he be
guilty of the additional crime of resist
ing an officer of the law.
The smirking fanaticism of the hour
may rub its hands with sanctimonious
satisfaction at the triumph it has
achieveds but it has a triumph OF
terrorism that is fast speeding on to
tragedy. And it is fair question, al
ready pertinent, whether we shall
have to have home converted into
a slaughter house before public wrath
defies intolerance with the decision
that the law of self-preservation
transcends constitutional or statutory
law. Surely, it is folly to suppose
that lawlessness will respect the in
violability of the home when the law
itself no longer stops at the threshold
