Evidence By Search

limit has4at last been placed upon the protec- ton that may be allowed alleged offenders against law. by deprving the state of the evidence obtained against them by summary search and seizure. That here should be some restriction of the activities of nficers acting without warrant. in searching the premises or belongings of accused persons is 1oubt proper. At any rate it has been numerously 4sd that that evidence obtained is inadmissibie. though often happened that such evidence point d directly at the guilt of he accused.
 If the evidence is taken with the accused. that s not necessarily on his person. but his premises we believe the rule Is allow be introduced The prohibition as we understand 1t goes only against 9lmmary seizure in his absence from his premises.
 There are apparently two good for this rule One is that the accused might but for it be made the victim of plant The other is the necessity of restraining too jealous officers
 But the limit seemed to have been fully ap- troached when demand was made in court for the return to defendant charged with unlawfully porting intoxicating lquor of pint of the contra band taken from his hip at the time of his arrest No search could have issued for that bit of evidence without warrant at the time for the adorned. That of course was not possible for when officers bent upon the of the prohibition nv set out they do not know whither their wander ihg steps may them.

4 SMALL VOCABULARY MAY
 HAVE A ZIG KICK

To the editor:
 The other night I was to party where they had argument in re- gards to how many wds. is in the average man or lady's vocabulary which they meant how many wds. does a person use in their regular every day conversation and one lady said or 5 thousand and one of the men give her the laugh and said 700 was nearer the mark, and of course l didn't take no part in tEe argument as they was all my elders but that didn't keep me from thinking over the question and maybe some of my readers would be interested in doing the same.
 Well, in the first place you would naturally suppose that a woman's vo- cabulary was whole lot bigger nan a mans on acct. of them talking so much more. but on second thoughts that don't prove nothing as you will notice that the most women says the same thing over and over and a woman might say 10000 wds. per day but only 10 different wds. like for inst
 T wished we had fire. The house is cold" which she is libel to say a 1000 times makeing a total of 10000 wds. that don't mean nothing.
 As a matter of fact. a man though he don't talk nowheres near as much, don'tGepeat himself nowheres near as often. a specially since they fixed if so he had to quit saying, Give us another" so vile man may talk 100 wds. day to woman's 10000, still they's libel to be 50 different wds amongst his 100 and sometimes even more than that, though if man does say 100 wds. the chances are that al lease 50 of them is "Well"
 Some men of course has more te say than others and they's been eve nings in my career when I only ;ai6 ? wds. the whole evening namely stay" and pass and a few after moons spent outdoors when my con, versation was just the numeral W Is seven" and eight"
 When all is said and done suppos. the number of wds. a person talk depends on what line of business the, are in, like for example a doctor tGllc practally all the time where as a en gineer on R.R. or fisherman don hardly say nothing. and even som people talks more than others in tn same business like for inst. a elevate man in a 22 story bldg. has twice al much to say as a elevator man in II story bldg. and a train man on subway local has to name maybe 8 or 35 stations while train man ol

About The State
Rain Helps Cattle

TUCSON-Water guages operated at the university showed Monday that a total of 1.2 inches of water fell in Tucson Sunday evening and night and that the first heavy showers of Sun day afternoon measured five six teenths of an inch. The downpour is considered exceptionally heavy for the time elapsed during the rain and is the heaviest which Tucson has. ex- perienced in many drouth stricken months.
 It is assumed by cattlemen that the rain will bring an immediate halt to the steady progress of death of cattle by starvation. Only a short time will be required for the heavy rainfall to revive ranges and start grass growing substantially. Refilling of extinct water holes will likewise be most ben- eficial to cattle.-Citizen.
