Madison Man Invents.
Non-freezing Radiator

Sioux Falls Argus-Leader: A new
idea in radiators and for which is
claimed the prevention of freezing has
just been patented by its inventor Roy
Innes, a farmer near Madison. 1t Is
claimed that the new radiator will au-
tomatically thaw itself out. By the
construction of its core and the ar
rangement of the overflow pipe, which
has a series of outlets on the front
side and which is embedded in the
back side of the radiator parallel to
and against the ribbons, the instant
the water in the engine reaches the
steaming point, the heat and steam ra-
dating from the overflow pipe thaws
out the ribbons next to it. The circul-
alton starts and the radiator soon be-
comes normal.
With the new radiator the motorist
is assured of the elimination of the
trouble caused by the freezing of his
radiator. All danger of the blowing
off of the radiator hoses has been done
away with according to the claims
made. When the overflow becomes full
of ice the steam escaping from the
outlets thaws it quickly to the end.
The radiator has been tested a number
of times during the past winter n
has been found to work satisfactory.
The radiator will be manufactured
from all cars and buses by the ON
aha Radiator Company and the pro-
duct will be handled through dealers.
Old radiators will be recorded with
the new device making them almost
freeze proof.

Hendrickson tried to put up the plea
that the stuff was unfit for human

Conner remarked: $3.50"
Saturday officers arrested Nooner

Rates On Livestock
Lowered By Commission

Pierre, May 1.-The state railway
commission which secured an order
from the interstate commerce com
mission for a reduction ON rates on
live stock from South Dakota points
to eastern markets, have received In
formation that the interstate COM
mission has denied the application OF
the railroads for a %rehearing or for
an extension of time, and that the
new rate reduction will be published
not later than May 25th under the
orders of the commission. The roads
asked for a new hearing on the
ground that the reductions asked
were too drastic, but their plea was
denied. This order grants the live
stock shippers of the state a meter
ial reduction, which, on the average
shipments is estimated at over a
half million dollars a year. In fact
the figures based on past shipments
are placed at $560,000 for each year
This will be a material item to ship
pers of live stock especially under
existing prices, and the half miilioi
dollars will be distributed among
many shippers of the state.

Is instaIlments)

6 installmentS)
William Penn once said: THAT gov
eminent is free to the people under 1t,
where the laws rule and the people
are a party to those laws; and all
the rest is tyranny, oligarchy and CON
fusion"
1t is my present purpose to discuss
the moral psychology of the present
revolt against the spirit of authority.
Too little consideration has been paid
by the legal profession to questions Of
moral psychology.
Conceding that lawlessness is not a
novel phenomenon, Is not the present
time characterized by an exceptional
revolt against the authority of law?
The statistics of our criminal courts
show in recent years an unprecedent-
ed growth in crimes Thus, in the
federal courts, pending criminal in
dictments have increased from 9.5O3
in the year 1912 to yer 10000 in the
year 1921. While this abnormal in
crease is, in part, due to sumptuary
legislation--for approximately 10000
cases now pending arise under the
prohibition statutes--yet, eliminating
these, there yet remains an increase
in nine years of over 400 per cent in
the comparatively narrow sphere OF
the federal criminal jurisdiction. |
have been unable to get the data from
the state courts; but the growth OF
crimes can be measured by a few IL
Illustrative statitics. Thus, the losses
from burglaries which have been re-
paid by casualty companies have
grown in amount from $3.50 in 1914
to over $40, 600, 900 in 1929, and, in a
like period, embezzlements have in
creased fiyefoId. II Is notorious that
the thefts from the mails and express
companies and other carriers have
grown to enormous proportions. The
hold-up OF railroad trains is now OF
frequent occurance, and is not con-
fined to the unsettled parts of the
country. Not only in the United
States, but even in Europe, such
crimes of violence are Of increasing
frequency, and a recent dispatch from
Berne stated that the famous inter
national expresses of Europe were
now run under a military guard.
The streets of our cities, once rea-
scnably secure from crimes OF vio-
lence, have become the field OF oper-
atoms for thefootpad and highway
man. The days of Dick Turpin ant
Jack Sheppard have returned, with
this serious difference--that the Tur-
pins and Sheppards Of our day are
not dependent upon the horse, but
have the powerful automobile to facil'
itate their crimes and make sure
their escape.
In Chicago alone, 5000 automobiles
| were stolen in a single year. Once
| murder was an infrequent and abnor'
NAL crime. Today in u large cities
IL is of almost daily occurance. III
| New York, in 1917, there were 23s
murders and only 81 convictions: II
| 1918, 221, and II convictions. In Chi
cago, in 1919, there were 1886 and A.
convictions.

bers pointed out. In order to search
4 private residence. an affidavit must
be made to the justice or the peace
or to the district judge. alleging that
liquor is being manufactured for sale.
This affidavit must be sworn to by
two credible persons. 1t was failure
of the affidavit to allege sal, that
caused the quash.ng of complaints in
two cases filed in justice court by
state rangers.
Case Not Tested.
Although Mr.. Chambers said he had
not loOled w that exact feature OF
the law. others hold that state ranger
is not legally authorized to serve a
search warrant but must take a
countytpeace officer with him when
he makes the search. The law pro-
yides. it is pointed out. that the. war
rant may be served by ''the sheriff. or
any constable of che county, but does
not mention the state rangers. These
state forces. 1t is held. cannot be
classel as "shcriffs" or peace Of
ficcrs."
In the case of search warrant for
stolen goods. the law provides that
the search variant may be addressed
to any sheriff or peace officer of the
county and it is generally conceded
that ranger would be qualified TO
serve such a warrant. This question
has never been brought TO II test be-
fore the Bexar county courts. rs the
ranger complaints in two cases were
1uashed because the courts .eld that
the warrants had been obtained il
legally.
