A federal Judge made federal
enforcement officers turn back
$50 gallons of whiskey seized
by them from Joseph Haderlein
in st. Louis. They forced their
way into his storeroom and seiz-
ed the liquor without a war
rant. Haderlein had the right
to take the whiskey back to his
storehouse.
No federal officer nor any 9th,
er officer can search supposed
liquor caches without a warrant.
Merely suspecting that liquor is
in the possession of a party on
any premises does not constitute
authority an which an officer can
arrest or make search and seiz-
ure. Such is the ruling from
Washington and all enforcement
officers must get instructions
from Washington before proceed
ing without a duly prepared
wsrTant.

but he observed that conditions
had changed, perhaps for the
better, but changed. Judge
Lamb predicted what all believe
will come true. that is, that the
National and State Democratic
conventions would endorse the
national and state administra-
tions. He did not say that dele
gates should stop at that but it
was evident that those present

The scarcity of print paper is
reaching famine proportions.
The price four years ago was
under 2 cents a pound. Today
the contract price is 5 cents and
the market price between IL

has asked for a voluntary reduc-
tion in the size of newspapers.
If the reduction is not made
voluntarily. legislation will be
the next step.
For the last six months The

hold their space requirements

We are corrected in our re-
port that there were two women
proxies for township committee
men. While there were three
who voted instead of two, on
motions, we learn that their
votes were not counted and that
they were permitted to partici-
pate in form, not in fact, for
practice, perhaps. The women
should have been supplied with
proxies and counted provided
they do not have a meeting of

Democratic Committee Meeting

The Democratic County Gen.
traI Committee met Tuesday at
the county court room and was
called to order by chairman Nc
AlIister who stated the object of
the meeting to be for apportion-
ing the delegates for a county
convention, naming the date for
township mass meetings at
which delegates to the county
convention will be selected
and fixing the date
for the county convention War
ner White was named secretary
of the meeting and expressions
were had from township com.
mitteemen as to basis of appor-
tionment of delegates etc. There
were only twelve of the town
I
ship committeeman present in
person or by proxy, four town
ships not being represented and
two of them.
Saturday March 27 was named
for township mass meetings to
a county convention which was
set for Thursday April 8.
The committee fixed the ratio
of delegates from townships on
the basis of one delegate for each
80 votes and major fraction
thereof, cast at the presidential
election of 1916 provided no
township should be entitled to
less than two delegates: While
the contenders against this ar.
rangement were right, they
yielded because the variation
from the strictly fair apportion.
ment was to give each township
the opportunity to have a wo-
man delegate if it so desired.
Townships will be entitled to
the following number of dele
gates:
