CURRENT COMMENT
Prosecution vs.. Persecution.

The fundamental idea of personal
privilege originally was unquestioned-
Then restrictions Of civilization were
evolved, one by one, until to-day we
have the term constitutional rights.
Every freeman, every citizen techni-
ally has constitutional rights, but
frequently these rights are violated in
the over-zealous operation Of the con-
stitutional written law. Especially in
those days of seizure and search in the
enforcement of the Volstead act, are
the constitutional rights OF citizens
threatened.
But not SO the other day in Boston
federal court. when Judge Morton, a
capable iurist of the old school, ex-
pressed keen interest more In the APP
parent violation of the defendants
constitutional rights than In the spects
of the case as cited in the written
indictment. A Lowell man was being
arraigned for possessing liquor. He
testified that dry agents engaged in
raiding nearby saloon, searched him
against his win while he was standing
at the bar. The court interrupted,
asking for details. 1t developed that
the raiders had no warrant to search
the defendant although they based
their charge against him on the find
ing of liquor on his person. Judge
Morton delved into every angle OF the
witnesses testimony, then remarked:
IF what you say is true. ct is gross
outrage, and direct violation OF your
constitutional rights"
Although the defendant had pleaded
guilty. the court took into considera-
ton the fact that apparently he was
not conscious OF his rights under the
law. A continuance was granted for
further inquiry, with view of bring
ing proceedings against the prohibit
ton agents.
Conscientious judges are accustomed
to weigh evidence on the basis OF the
written law, exactly as grocer comes
to the conclusion as TO how much
customer owes him after con-
sulting the notches on his scales. II is
safe to saw that the scale of Justice"
will not err in Judge Morton's court,
despite the prevailing frenzy of to-day
evidenced by some jurists with a
warped sense of persecution rather
than Observation-Disclosures Re-
former.

tional institutions, the Sunday dinner.
The Yorkshire pudding which, like the
roast beef, stands high in popular
esteem, is also doing its part to cause
suffering and shorten the span of
human life. These gre the conclusions
of the medical correspondent of the
London Times lie makes the Sunday
dinner as served in millions Of Eng
lish homes the subject of long article.
If his advice is taken men of sedcntary
life will make of Sunday day of
limited indulgence in the pleasures of
the table instead of one Of hearty eat
ing and heavy-lidded idleness.
The warning is addressed especially
to the tired business man. He is told
that changing the hours Of his meals
and overeating on every seventh day
are likely to be injurious, especially in
the numerous cases in which there is
overeating on the other six DAYS OF the
week II there is to be variation on
Sunday from the ordinary programme
for the refreshment of the inner man,
better less food than more. Then, as
the English authority sees it. the
black Monday OF the business man win
cease TO make the beginning of the
business week time of trial for him
and his employees. More than that. If
Sundays made day Of rest for the
stomach, its posscssor's sojourn in the
land may be sensibly heightened.
On this side of the Atlantic. there is
reason for paying heed TO the admoni-
tions of the correspondent Of the Lon
don paper. Here, as in England. the
Sunday dinner in many households is
meal much more elaborate than
those ordinarily served. Here, also.
the business man and others engaged
in sedentary occupations make Sun
day day in which the only exercise
they take is that required in masti-
eating rich and stimulating foods. But
there is reason TO hope for better
things. II is found especially in the
increased attention giren TO the cues
ton Of right living. II IL is true that,
in the long run the newspapers give the
the public what il wants. il is not
without significance that the London
Times devotes column Of its space
to a warning against the dangers that
lurk in the Sunday dinners of Old
England Boston Transcript.

United States vs.. Germany.

Many persons do not understand
why business is active In Germany but
slow in the United States. One Of the
reasons is that money in Germanw
is depreciating in value and everyone
hastens to convert his funds into prop
erty. but in the United States money
is at premium while property is de-
preciating in value so that we want to
convert our merchandise into cash.
Manufacturers and merchants are
anxious to sell what they have on
hand. but buy new merchandise spar
inrlv or not at all. A little thought
will result in inducing the belief that
the present situation both as to
Germany and the United States IL
certain to change. Then orr goods
will sell freely while Germany win
have collapsed inancially.-Shoe and

AS indicating how adept the people
of Germany are in matters of spread
ing propaganda, notice that various
German cities have followed the lead
Of the government in telling the world
how close they are to bankruptcy.
There may be an element OF truth in
the reports but it is also morally Ger.
tain that the reports are being sent
broadcast over the world, particularly
over the allied world, in order to gain
delay, or lenieney, in the matter Of
Preparations. just now, with the allies
gathering at Cannes for conference on
that very matter, the reports from
Germany may be called very timely.
