COLUMBUS. Ohio, Dec. 2l.---"The
fundamental secret OF democracy is
that no one liz above the law" dc
Clared Rev. Charles A. Alden, pastor
OF the First Universalist church
here. recently In sermon marked
by an attack upon the Anti-Saioon
league and the assailing of the Ku-
kluX klan, striking miners and 9TH
er organizations for trying to take
the law into their own hands"
The quotation, AN men are Crea-
ted equal means that no man is al
lowed to take the law into his own
hands" continued the Reverend
Doctor Alden.
Even the Antl-Saloon league
has no such authority" he asserted
commending the supreme court for
refusing to recognize the right of
officers to warranted searching OF
homes in the attempt to enforce the
eighteenth amendment to the United
States constitution
1T is idle to talk about enforcing
the eighteenth amendment TO the
constitution by breaking the fourth
amendment. II the eighteenth
amendment cannot he enforced
without breaking personal and prop
erty rights already guaranteed then
there Is conflict between the amend
ment and the constitution.
AS II stood the supreme court
declined to recognize it. Most OF
US are glad of this decision. 1t Is
unwise leadership that reopens the
debate"
