SEARCH OF AUTOMOBILES
WITHOUT A WARRANT

eral, III in an opinion written by Judg
Waddill, construed See. 20 OF the Ma
tional Prohibition Act relating to tn
search sof automobiles illegally transport
Ing liquor, the court said:
The facts are comparatively few
and simple, and depend on the testi-
mony of two government witnesses;
no evidence being introduced in be-
half of the plaintiff in error. John
Callahan testified that he was a fed
eral prohibition agent, and knew the
plaintiff in error, Fred Ash, and
that he had information that he was
going to bring a load of liquor to
Huntingdon; that witness went to
Ceredo in company with Harry Bull
TO look for it, and upon reaching
that place, between 1880 and II
o'clock at night, found the road
blocked by freight train; that he
left HIS vehicle, went across the
tracks, where he found several cars
waiting to cross the railroad, and
among them a Cadillac roadster
bearing Michigan license, in which
plaintiff in error was seated; that
witness jumped onto the running
board as the car began to back, and
directed that it be stopped, and he
did what he could to stop the car,
which appeared to be heavily load
ed. Upon its being stopped, the
car was searched, to which plain
tiff in error made no objection, and
in the back of the car, which was
unlocked, several sacks were found
containing $50 quarts of whisky in
bottles. This testimony was sub
stantially corroborated by the other
witness, Bull, who had been request
ed to accompany the prohibition of
fcer.. The prohibition officer had
no search warrant. The whisky
was seized By the prohibition agent
and the plaintiff in error arrested
Two questions appear necessary
to be determined by this court on
the record, viz: Cd Whether the
officer was warrapted in searching
the car for and Selling the liquor;
and ~ the sufIiciency of the evil
dence, If admitted, to sustain the
verdict and judgment of the court.
On the first question, having in view
the language of Sec. 20 of title of
the National Prohibition Act Comp.
Ann. Supp. 1928, Sec. 10l38H mm),
viz:
''When the commissioner, his as
sistants, inspectors, or any officer of
the law shall discover any person in
the act of Transporting in violation
of the law, Intoxicating liquors in
any wagon, buggy, automobile, wa
ter or air craft, or other vehicle, it
shall be his duty to seize any and
all Intoxicating liquors found there
in being transported contrary to
law"
lit is manifest that the words
SHALL discover" we're intended to
be given effect to, having regard to
the purposes of the act to prevent
the transportation Of liquors in We
hicles, which makes it ordinarily
impracticable certainly where auto
mobiles are used in the commission

It's return unlaWfully has produced 1n-
creasing disorder and chaos in the social
body. Legalizing that which produces
evil will not transform it into an instru-
mentality for good 1t only multipies
its capacity for viciousness.
THE remedy for such ills as we have
lies in the direction of greater suppress
sion and not of greater 1iberalty and
permission. The time has not yet come
to put the stamp of approval upon the
law-breaker by giving him permission to
do that which he deliberately does as
matter of lawlessness.
Unfortunately, we have fallen upon a
time when there are men who refused to
be interested in law because it is the
law, and to whom a patriotic appeal to
observe the common responsibilities of
citizenship falls upon unheedng ears.
Beer Above Law
at may we'll be questioned, therefore,
whether or not the case of prohibition
will be won by an exclusive appeal to
observe and enforce the law because it is
the law. So poluting is the blight of
rum that its advocates have come to hold
their quest for beer above the claims of
the nation and its statutes. These are
the real anarchists VI this hour, who
put themselves outside the law, and in
spite of statute and constitution, claim
the right to carry on before the world
veritable debauch of Our national char
acter without any shame for their mis-
deeds More's the Pity that there are
men and women who call themselves
respectable who lead their support to
such defiance of the moral government
of God, no less than to the laws that
center in the public opinion of man.
Without any dminution of the appeal
to observe and enforce the prohibition
law because it is the law, it is increas-
ingly clear that the public needs to be
educated to obey and enforce the law
because it is right. Respect for this law
above all others must adhere in the moral
conviction of the people, who will be
swayed by no matters of expediency or
turned aside by no clamor for that
which is inherently evil.
THE church and every right-thinking
mOTdl group must re-enl1St TO enforce
this issue and to establish in mems
minds the unrighteousness as we'll as
the inexpediency of any form of the
beverage traffic in Intoxicating liquors.
The church cannot so to sleep on the
liquor question-yet. First establishing
i'll the minds of its own members the
fundamental righteousness of prohibi-
ton and the inevitable unrighteousness
of the liquor system in any form, the
church must furnish tie moral leadership
of the nation in this cause, until the law
will find itself buttressed by moral con-
viction that will prove itself to be ada
mant against any and every onslaught.
"The danger is too great and the OPP
position too insistent to make it safe to
ignore the claims of prohibition in the
election this year. Other issues are
pressing and it is because of this that the
foes of prohibition hope to profit.

better structure fer our having re-

able to pay to those best able to pay.
In 1919 the f1lihuster Of few OF
us--called purely destructive by
our opponents-resulted in deferring
appropriation bills until they could
be fairly considered in an extra ses-
sion and until they had been re-
duced 5000 100000. Almost a billion
dollars saved to the taxpayers. Is
that not constructive?
In 1921 we saved $500, 900 900 by
defeating an outrageous bill that
would have exempted corporations
engaged in foreign trade from the
provisions Of the income tax
In 1921, again, we stopped a
scheme to pay $500, 100000 over to
the railroads. half billion dollars
to Which the railroads had no
shadow OF a title.
In 1924 we saved many hun.
dreds of millions OF dollars by ex-
posing the Teapot Dome oil scandal
and compelling the bringing of ac-
tions to return TO the people the
naval oil lands.
Can these things be called any
thing but constructive? Surely not.
Anything that strengthens the
foundations Of Government, protects
and improves its service to the peo-
pie so that 1t shall promote their
prosperity and insure their happi-
ness must be called constructive.

must build and see his structure
destroyed before completed and then
build again, repeating this process
until he is worn out himself or has
worn down the opposition. IN our
democracy he must fight until pub.
lie sentiment is aroused until public
opinion is formed-and then must
fight to prevent spurious counter
feits being palmed off on the public.
That Is what | conveive construc-
tive craftsmanship to be. 1t IS the
building OF laws or Government poll
cies on sure ground. in the light of
proved facts. The welfare OF the
people is not thing on which to
experiment with idle. theories.
And I assert that il you seek a
record OF constructive effort in our
national affairs, you will find it in
the work Of the public servants who
have come to be known as the Pro.

THE END.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1924-09-29

This is the last of series of ten articles
dealing with the outstanding events in the
life of Senator La Toilette in the last
twelve years.
Progressives in Congress have per-
formed one service in the past dozen
years which few of them have fully
realized themselves. They have re-
stored to it's original, dictionary
f, meaning the word constructive"
For long it had been the habit of
reactionaries to speak of their own
efforts as constructive and the efforts
of all others as destructive. Up
thinking citizens picked up their
language and sometimes accepted it.
That the progressive is a builder
not a destroyer-is abundantly
proved by records of the Republican
national conventions.
In 1908 the Wisconsin delegation
proposed thirteen planks to the Re-
publican national convention in
Chicago The planks We're rejected
amid jeers. The delegation was
called sociaIstic. But eleven of
those thirteen planks had become
law before 1920.
In 1912 the Wisconsin delegation
offered eighteen planks and they met
exactly the same reception. But tif-
teen of those eighteen planks had
become the law of the land before
1920.
So those proposals must have been
constructive. The men who offered
them must have had constructive
ability.
Consider the thirteen planks Of
fered and rejected in 1908.

REAL CONSTRUCTIVE WORK
DONE BY PROGRESSIVES

Government work. This is now the
law.
10. A general employers liability
act, in so far as Federal jurisdiction
extends. This is now the law.
OF the planks offered by the Wis
consin delegation in 1912, in addition
to some of the above, which since
have become law, the following
could be cited:
Creation of the Federal Trade
Commission, with effective powers.
Correction OF the antitrust laws to
prevent their use to suppress CO.
operative organizations.
Building, owning and operating of
the Alaska railroad.
Extension of the postal service to
include a parcel post.
Adoption of the income tax amend
ment.
Extension of suffrage to women.
Adoption of a Federal income tax.
Creation of a legislative refer
ence department in the Library of
Congress.
True, progressives in Congress
have had to devote altogether too
much OF their time in resisting vi
cious legislation. They have had to
make the fight, sometimes unsuc-
cessfully, but it had to be made, to
prevent unconstitutional encroach-
ments on the rights of the people.
They have had to make the fight to
protect the Constitution itself. But
