FAITH IN THE DOLLAR.

TN a recent contract for privilege, the City of
j Berlin stipulated that it should have the option
OF calling for payment in German marks or in
u. S. A. dollars.
Few recent news items have been more significant
AMI interesting
In small countries it has been the custom TO quote
prices in both the local currency and pounds ster-
ling though usually at "pegged" rate of exchange,
the payer exercising the option as TO which medium
he prefers.
This incident from Berlin indicates how far the
mighty Germans have fallen, when even German

TO NEW LEE.

n fOWER greater even IMAM tne power OF flo-
hibition has compelled the Mayor of New York
to call halt on the shocking invasion of private
rights resulting from pressure put upon the police TO
enforce the Prohibition laws.
Mayor Hylan yesterday formally notified Police
Commissioner Ennght that police engaged in en-
forcing the Muilan-Gage law must not search
premises or persons or their bags or effects or au-
tomobies without search warrant"
Judges have repeatedly warned police officers
that they were going dangerously far in their high
handed methods of search and seizure.
As The Evening World pointed out when these
methods first became manifest the Bill of Rights of
the Federal Constitution specially affirmed 'the
right of the people to be secure in their persons,
houses, papers and effects against unreasonable
searches and seizures" and declared that "this right
shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue but
upon probable cause, supported by oath or affrms-
ton, and particularly describing the place to be
searched, and the persons or things to be seized"
This part of the Bill of Rights has been incor-
pcldtCu III ulC VI HiduC
principle of the civil and criminal codes of most
of the States. Corporation Counsel O'Bren ad-
vises the Mayor that this right of the people still
obtains in the State of New York and that the
Mulan-Gage law in no wise annuls it.
The increasing frequency with which the courts
have had to score the police for treating the Mullan
Gage law as if it superseded all Constitutions and
statutes has become serious matter.
The Mayor could not ignore it.
We hope the forces whose pressure is mainly re-
sponsibe for goadng the police on to these extremes
will not be allowed to ignore it either.
The insolence with which the Prohibition move
ment attempts to shoulder aside rights, laws con-
stitutona gnrantees-anything however deeply
rooted or respected, that stands in its way-is one of
the most astounding developments that has ever I'M
settled American confidence and menaced American
| ideals
| But principles the average American has hardly
been conscious of-so deeply and safely imbeddei
have they seemed TO him in the national lfe-are

First: Congress should adopt rule that no de-
