Teeth of State
Dry Act Drawn
Supreme Court Knocks Out the
Search and Seizure Law.

Lansing.-Michiga is now without
a search and seizure provision in its
state prohibition law as a result of
! the decision of the state supreme
court last week, which declares the
seizure section of the law in conflict
with the state constitution and there.
fore void.
Until such time as the Legislature
can amend the prohibition act to con.
form with the constitution the courts
and state officials are stripped Of this
necessary power In liquor law en-
forcement.
The ruling came In Grand Rapids
case, the defendant, Edgar d. De
Lamater, druggist Of that city, being
released by the superior court of
Grand Rapids by suashing of the in
formation against him. 1t was charged
that he unlawfully had whiskey in his
store.
The state permit to De Lamater ex-
pired May /, 1919, and he was re-
fused another by the state food and
drug department.
In the interim, while he was yet
making efforts to obtain new per-
NIT to handle liquor, Dec. 80, 1919.
George M. Bradley, state food and
drug inspector, obtained search war
rant on his own affidavit and raided
the store, getting four and one-half
pints of Kentucky Maiden whiskey.
When the case come before the SUI
perior court, De Lamater contended
that Section 25 of the Wiley prohibi-
tion law of 1917, as amended by the
1919 acts, and which provides for
search and seizure in liquor cases,
was in conflict with the state consti-
tuition and therefore void.
The superior court so held, which
released the defendant and quashed
the charges. This action Of the lower
court is upheld by the state supreme
court.
The constitution provides that a
search and seizure act may be" is
sued by justice upon oath or az
frmation and a showing that con-
vinces the Judge that there is prob
able cause" to believe that the claims
set forth are true.
The Wiley act says that a Judge
shall" issue a warrant upon oath or
affirmation, and, therefore, is at vari.
ance with the constitution, which
gives the Judge discretionary power,
shall being mandatory.
All the legislature has to do is
amend the Wiley act so as to give the
Judge discretionary power as provided
by the constitution.
According to State Food and Drug
Commissioner Woodwork, there will
be no cessation of the activities Of the
department in enforcing the liquor
act. It's officers will simply drop the
,ouestion of search warrants until the
) legislature amends the Wiley act.

IT'S PRETTY PUNK

Mr.. Lisk, how's this for spring fever
in your paper?
"Joy of Living in the Spring"
Songs of birds and drone of bees
Bursting buds on all the trees
Rushing streams and quiet pools
Woodland echoes, and this thing,
Joy Of living in the spring.
Ger our heads the arch OF blue
Beneath our feet velvet green
Springing blossoms, growing things
Rolling hill and naked wood
Will know, and stir, and come to life,
And JOY Of living in the spring.
Spring was coming, but now is here
We feel its breath, its cheer, and
know
Within our heart there dawns new
hope
And Joy of Living in the Spring.

The Executive Committee of the
County Farm Bureau were in session
all day Saturday, April End. Among
their important business transactions
was the decision to push the work in
Bovine tuberculosis Eradication DUR
ing the next two months. Already
there are some thirty-five herds in the
county properly signed up and waiting
to be tested. Meetings will be held in
each township where the proposition
will be thoroughly explained so that
every owner of cattle in the county
can see the advantages offered by this
free testing in cooperation with the
State and Federal Agencies. The Ex-
ecutive Committee also decided to give
its support to the Certified Seed Potato
work. Our county can produce as good
seed potatoes as are produced any
where in Michigan and it was thought
it should take the place second to none
in this work. This will also be explain
ed at the various spring meetings.

City. Several of our farmers are going
to try small acreage of this new plant
this year. Great claims are being
made for the Annual Sweet clover for
pasture and forage crop and we are
glad to see it be given a thorough tryout
throughout the county. The seed sup
ply we have is for seed production
only, and is obtainable for $I.OO per
pound. Seed Companies are selling
the Hubam Clover seed as high as $50
per pound this spring. The Farm
Crops Department of the Michigan
Agricultural College are furnishing
Charlevoix County with enough seed to
plant two acres to try out its value as a
forage plant. This seed will be sown
at the rate of eight pounds to the acre
and one acre will be seeded alone and
another with oats. We are sure this
new plant will be watched with great
amount ofinterest throughout the Coun-
ty this year.

Beveridge might have gone into the history of the

The agricultural bloc was formed because of the
long continued refusal of congress recognize the
necessities Of the farmer or to give such legislation
as necessary the preservation this industry.
The formation of labor group in congress
came from the constant denial by congress of the
demands and petitions labor for just recognition
of some fundamental rights
The real truth Is that these so-caned groups"
in reality represent public welfare while the entire
legislative machine has been controlled by a small,
well defined and well known group that repre-
sents some very greedy interests.
II all the legislation planned for the general
and common good there would have been no neces-
sty for any Of the blocs.
It is the only practical answer to the rule by rarty
caucus which in turn IS controlled by a little inner
circle who dispense party favors offices and appro-
Citations and hold control Of the majority through
this sinister power.
The real masters of legislation have been limited

have whipped their colleagues into line by the
