The President and the Potomac.

The President made a Saturday
Sunday trip on the Potomac, the lat
est of a number of such Cruises on
the river. This was the longest Mr..
Coolidge has taken on the Mayfiower
since he became President, and it is
stated to be the forerunner of nu.
merous week end trips aboard the
yacht during the coming months, as
it is his present plan to spend the en-
tire summer in Washington. It is
clear that the President has developed
a sympathy and fondness for the Po-
tomac. The great river has put its
lure upon the President and he feels
the power Of its beauty and solemnity.
There is magic in the Potomac and
1t works a charm on many men. 1t
weaves spell about us in our youth
which holds us till we are old. By the
shores of the Potomac many of the
great Americans have lived and died,
and it is said that their souls dwell
by the river still. No doubt the Po-
tomac has said to the President,
"Come to me for quiet and reflection
and on my quiet, sometimes shining,
sometimes frowning water and be-
tween my green and Towering shores
you will find rest and inspiration"

amendment. 1t is distinctly understood
as one Of the penalties. similar to the
provision Of the seizure and confisca-
ton Of any vehicle or ship engaged in
the smuggling Of liquor in violation Of
the law. This philadelphia lawyer"
believes that the forfeiture Of an auto.
mobile or motor boat, unless Of
trifling value" is contrary to the
eighth amendment. So 1t would seem
to be a mere matter Of the cost of the
vehicle. In other words, according to
this view, a $1,000 motor ca. would be
immune from seizure il taken as q
rum-runner. while a flivver would be
properly confiscated. Just so, a busi-
ness establishment with a large trade
would be immune from padlocking,
while a small place might be subject
to closure.
The eighth amendment to the Con.
stitution has been cited in a case quot.
ed by this philadelphia lawyer" A
Michigan law imposed severe penalties
for illegal liquor selling. A druggist
was convicted for second offense, for
which the penalty was prohibition for
five years from doing any business in
the state. The court ruled that such
q penalty was excessive. No record of
an appeal for a decision by a higher
court appears.
All persons who violate the prohibi-
ton law are supposed to be aware Of
the possible penalties in case of detec-
ton and conviction. The proprietor of
a business establishment. drug store,
cabaret. hotel. who permits the sale
of liquor on his premises does 80 know
ing that the penalty may be the clos
ing of his doors for a year. Sufficient
warning has been given. To contend
that he may escape because the pen
atty is too severe is to open the doors
to wholesale violations and to nullify
the law. AS long as this point has
been raised, however, it should be car
ried to a final test to determine
whether a statute enacted to carry
into effect one provision of the Consti-
tuition is defeated by another.

Padlocking and Constitution.

y One who signs himself "a Philadel.
phia Lawyer" which Is term regard.
ed as synonymous with great astute.
ness and sagacity. writes q. letter to
one OF the New York newspapers pro-
testing against the imposition Of the
paddock" punishment upon the own.
ers OF nine Broadway cabarets recent
ly raided for infractions of the eight.
eenth amendment. He cites the eighth
amendment, to the Constitution, which
provides that excessive bail shall not
be required. nor excessive fines i'm
posed nor cruel and unusual punish.
ments inflicted" He contends that the
closing Of these establishments for
year VIII, it is estimated, cost their
owners $500. 900 or more. This, he ar.
cues. is an excessive fne'' in the Ian
guage OF the Constitution, and he ex-
presses his astonishment that the
counsel for the proprietors are not
fighting on this ground.

stead act Is one Of the penalties Of the
