terrible influence Reports have IL
that recently innocent people were
stopped on the Berlin turnpike and
forced 10 submit 10 having their auto
mobiles searched for liquor There
IL no hint that there was the faintest
ground to suspect any OF these per-
sons OF carrying liquor. There were
no search warrants. There was abso-
1utely no ground for such procedure.
The stopping OF possibly hundreds OF
people and INJECTING this humiliation
upon them differed not one whit from
taking every person In city to Jail
because. possibly, some one of those
persons had committed the murder
which had taken place In that city.
The authorities had no more right to
do this thing than the officials OF
city would have the right to stop
everyone passing up Main street and
compel him or her to submit to
search In the vague hope of finding
an article which had been stolen from
one of the stores. No matter upon
what technicality the authorities rely
to justify themselves. there is no
ground for such technically either In
reason or in justice. II is against
every precept of this country: against
the basic theory of the constitution
OF the United States and of this state.
That no one protested to such
search to the extent of refusing to
permit it shows the state of cowardice
to which the methods of the enforce
ment agents have reduced the peo-
pie. But this condition can not be
allowed to exist for any length of
time. The law should be obeyed.
Admitted, willingly. But the surest
way to establish lawlessness In this
country. the surest way to bring about
non observance of all laws. is to al I
low enforcement agents to repeat acts
similar to that Of the Berlin turnpike
a few nights ago.

ARCTIC MAIL SERVICE
Tor Two Years Airplane Has Been
Carrying Letters, supplies and Even
Doctors Far North.

London, May 7.--Within the Arctic
circle under the most adverse weather
conditions, a regular mail and pas
senger airplanc service has been car
ried on for two years, says the Daily
News.
This service links the little COM
munity of Suorva in the extreme north
of Sweden, with the great waterpower
center of Porjus, a distance of 20
miles. The trip now made In about
an hour took several days before the
airplane was introduced. Last year
more than 81 per cent of the flights
with mails were completed within
schedule time with the thermometer
as low as 40 degrees below zero. Of
ten the plane has carried doctors to
Patients, and during the winter, when
there are only three or four hours OF
daylight the pilot has flown in dark
ness.

HOUSING AND MARRIAGE.

Those interested in general social
conditions have been watching the
lists of building permits granted in
the hope that there would come evil
to be used as homes whether sepa-
rate, one-family houses, or tene-
ments. Unfortunately the building
locally that has been arranged for
has been more in the form of garages
and business places. repairs and the
like. OF course this is good, show
ing increasing prosperity, but it has
left much to be desired from the
housing point of view. Just recently,
however, the building permit figures
have shown some slight indication
that prospective builders are about to
provide homes for a few families at
least which. from the angle Of the
present comment. is better.
