SMALL AND FUTILE
TYRANNY

The following dispatch from
Washington offers good ex-
ample of a SYSTEM which pro-
duces reaction against the pro
hibition law;
I'm an effort to 'curtail prom
iscuouS drinking of intoxicating
! liquors on railway trains through
out the country orders have
been issued by Prohibition Com
missioner Haynes for the arrest
of all persons travelling on trains
who are caught drinking by Fed
eral agents. Chief Yellowley of
the enforcement staff has been in
structed to pass the word to ali
agents"
Liquor is not sold on railroad
trains. 1t it is seen in a train
ii comes from the passengers
flask. He drinks it because he
still believes that his person,
which includes his nip pocket, IS
inviolate. He was led to believe
that by the very terms Of the
Volstead Act, which, drastic as
it is, permits homes TO retain
what liquor they held before pro-
hibition became effective. If your
house is your castle, isn't Your
person as immune from infru-
sion?
The Eighteenth Amendment,
which is the base and the only
base of all Federal prohibition
legislation, forbids the manufac-
ture. sale, transportation, impor-
tation and expectation of intoXi-
eating liquors. It does rot for
bid the possession or drinking OF
them. Commi 'sioner Haynes
might plead that his new order
derives its power from the Con-
stitutional ban on the transporta-
ton of liquor. In that case, if h
is proceeding. under Section 81
of the Internal Revenue regula-
tons. his agents would have to
90 further than the arrest O.
the drinker. They would have
to seize the railroad train and ar
rest the conductor.

RAILWAY EXPANSION

Local news stories, telling of
large orders for new locomotives.
cars and other equipment, reflect
the effort now general among
American railroads to prepare
themselves for their vital part in
an era OF business and industrial
growth. 1t is, or should be, we'll
known that the railroads have
been operating at great disad-
vantage as result Of depletion
and deterioration Of equipment.
Various reasons have been as
signed for the slackening which
left many roads in Il comparative

period Of unsettlemcnt and de-

them three children were born. One

held. Funeral services were held at
