Why Not Broadcast Booze Trials ?

The Chicago Tribune suggested the broadcasting of
notorious murder trial. Their proposal voted
down about eight to FIVE The American Issue suggests
that the Tribune its station to broadcast important
cases involving violations of the Eighteenth Amendment
AT the time the action of the and jures in
liquor the important factor in the fight for
prohibition enforcement 1t is we'll known fact that
court usually jammed by friends of the boot
leggers Often the prosecuting attorney must face
large battery of high priced liquor lawyers and court
room full of liquor sympathizers If the proceedings
were broadcast it would be encouragement prose-
cuors and would doubtless prevent the ridcuously light
punishments given by many judges Broadcastng
booze trials would also interest the
of the people in general in the actual enforcement of the
law. ---------

Nevertheless states attorneys and others get
ting away with it. IT, for example notorious and
prosperous local bootegger is fined few hundred dol
lars for selling moonshine in brazen disregard of the
Eighteenth Amendment and various other laws he is
declared immune by the local attorney from fur
Their prosecution. That would be double jeopardy he
explains in tones suggesting great horror at the very
idea And the bootlegger continues his business pro-
tected by light fines and the double jeopardy bogy
But under the law the booegger be punished by the
village city, by the state and by the federal govern
ment because he has violated the laws of all three The
following statement giving u. S. Supreme Court de-
cison this point is printed herewith for the benefit
OF American Issue readers in places where local prose-
cutors have set up the double jeopardy
keep friends of prohibition from insisting adequate
punishment for local bootleggers.
United States Supreme Court decision came on
appeal by Arthur Magrini ct al who we're charged
in United States District Court of Washington state
with making, transporting and possessing liquors
and operating a still Contention was the same
charges had been made against them in Superior
Court of Whatcome county, Wash state tribunal,
and that they had been fined $3.50 each on three
counts. Argued to Supreme Court that two punish
ments for the same act-one under national proh
bItion and another under state prohibition laws
meant double jeopardy. Diminishing this argument
and reversing the decision Chief Justice Taft said:
I'VE have two sovereignties deriving power from
different capable of dealing with the same
subject matter within the same territory. Each may,
without interference with the other, enact laws to
prohibition with the limitation that no egs-
lation can give validity to acts prohibited by the
amendment Each government, in determining
what shall be ofense against its peace and dig
nity is exercising its sovereignty not that of
the other. 1t follows that an act denounced as
crime by both national and state soveregnties is
offense against the peace and dignity of both and
may be punished by EACH"

Another Warning From Canada

Another Canadian province by of its people has
temporarily turned against prohibition Many. reasons
given for this change The naturally use t.-
latest dry defeat argument against prohibition 1t
is in reality the strongest possible argument for prohbi-
ton enforcement.
The two chief factors that influenced the result of the
election in Saskatchewan the lack of law
forcemen and the propaganda campaign carried by
the brewers. 1t is not disputed that the law was not
well enforced in Saskatchewan The people there OBJ
ected to the absence of liquor but the presence of
lawless liquor Their vote in part a surrender to
lawlessness With discomfort the results of law
less drinking the brewers claims for government
troll and their arguments supporting moderation
pared with prohibition eagerly accepted These
guments and claims all the effective because
the drys neither we'll enough organized nor we'll
enough financed to counterfeit the work of the Ca
madam drys relaxed their efforts and the not
slow to take advantage of this situation Liquor law
lessness gave the vets opportunity to point
satisfactory conditions and attribute these to prohibition
Their shrewd propaganda then held the hope of bet
ter conditions through change in the law. This ex-
plains the result Both and experience give as
Surance that the swing back to liquor in Canada
will be but temporary. In the United States there are
countless examples of prohibition opinions temporarily
reversed by wet promises of better regulation and control
But prohibition permanently adopted when the peo-
pie learned that regulation and control never be
The evils of drink in direct proportion to
the ease with which drink be procured This funda-
mental fact made America bone dry after generation of
experiment with liquor promises. This same funda-
mental fact will eventually Canada back to strict
prohibition if the people themselves are permitted to
make the final decision.

WOCO FORD OIL IS GUARANTEED Famous 'Chatterless' Oil Said To Stop
 Chatter

woco Chatterless Ford oil, the special oil for Ford cars developed by the Wolf ford Oil company to eleminate the so- called chatter" or "shimmy" that often shakes a Ford on starting or stopping. bears the full guarantee of the Wolf ford company that it will stop the s.chatter'' after fifteen minutes of op- eration, according to D. H. Armstrong, sales manager of the company. This oil has been marketed in great quanti- ties throughout the south by the Wolf ford company since its introduction in Birmingham two years ago and has won, a merited reputation among motorists.
 Woco Chatterless Ford oil, accord ing to Mir. Armstrong, was developed Co meet the need for an oil that would lubricate a Ford motor and at the same time keep the transmission bands soft and p1iable, which would eliminate the "shimrny'' or chatter. When these bands get glazed and hard, they grab and let go spasmodically when the brake is applied or when the car first starts off, resulting in the "chatter" that shakes up the passengers and puts undue wear and tear on the operating parts.
 Woco Chatterless Ford oil has as its base the regular high-grade Wocc mo- tor oils, according to Mir. Armstrong. and the mixture used to eliminate the chatter will in no wise decrease the lubricating qualities of the oil. The spe- cial oil is sold at all Woco-Pep sta tions throughout the south.

 The automobile owner always gets the benefit of engineering development, for that is what the development is for. We may therefore expect easy riding cars and cars that cost less to run, for these are two subjects that engineers have taken up in 2 very seri- ous way. The reduction in maintenance will come about through better accessi- bility of parts, simplified design and better fabrication and fitting of parts.

HE recent completion of the caril-

 town, N. J., emphasizes the par manence of a movement apparent in the United States to adopt and develop the great Flemish musical instrument writes Frederick Rocke in the New York Herald Tribune.
 The carillon at Morristown consists of thirty-five bells, the lowest weighing 4,700 pounds. This bell is c; D and D follow, and remaining bells proceed up- ward automatically for three octaves, every half tone being represented. Each bell is in perfect tune with itself in it's own harmOnics and in equally exact tune with every other bell.
 Not even the most famous Belgian and Dutch carillons possess such per fectly attuned bells; heavier and larger though the greater European carillons are (they are not uncommOnly run to four Octaves, going down to eight tons for their lowest bell) they do not excel the bells of the famous English foundry of John Taylor and company, Lough- borough, for the Taylor bell after many years of scientific experiment is now tuned to the accuracy of a single vibra tion. Carillons built by this English firm are now to be found in Gloucester, Mass, with thirty bells; Andover, Mass, with thirty; Birmingham, Ala, twenty-five, and the latest and so far the largest on the continent, Morris town, thirty-five.
 Yale Has A Peal
 In addition to these there are also the carillon at Plainfield, N. J., built by Gillett and Johnson of Croydon, Eng, with twenty-five bells and a peal of bells by John Taylor at the Hardness Tower, Yale universitry. In Canada the best known carillon is that of the Metro politan Methodist church, Toronto, with twenty-three bells, the lowest being almost four and a'quarter tons, built by Gillett and Johnson.

 The British museum is now holding a temporary exhibition of objects dis covered last winter by the joint ex- petition of the British Museum and the University Museum, Philadelphia. :
 No one visiting the gallery could fail to be impressed by the technical and artistic. excellence of these works in metal, shell and stone, which revolu- tionize our ideas of the civilization at- tained by man in the Euphrates Valley at period that until last year seemed almost mythical in its antiquity; but few W illrealize the labor which it cost to show these things in their pres ent state.
 Most people would imagine that when thing is once found it is just lifted. from the ground, put into glass case, and there is an end of 1t. The descriptions of the work of experts on the tomb of Tut-ankh-Amen have done something to promote this idea-but then the thrones and boxes stood free in an empty chamber hewn out of the rock, and at least one could see what one was doing. The problem is a diff ferent one when the objects are shrouded in clinging coil.
 And at Tell el Obeid most of the antiquities lay beneath some 15 feet of mud brick, 80 hard that heavy rail way pickaxes had to be employed to cut into it at all; no one knew when or where something would come to light; we only knew that when it did it would be so delicate that a single blow would destroy it beyond all hope. l.. .AI- soon as a green stain in the earth be- trayed the presence of metal word was to be passed along, pickaxes dropped and knives used in their stead; and then, when we had traced round the outlines of the fragment, the soil was cut away from above and all round and the object was left isolated on a pillar of brick clay to receive such treatment as might be required.

PROSPECTS
 IN ELMORE BRIGHT
Very Little Complaint Of Boil
 Weevil Damage Is Made

WETUMPT1A, Ala, Aug. 7.-(Spc- cial Leased Wire. )-The prospect of the cotton crop in Elmore county on the eve of the commencement of picking is the best for several years. It is es- timated that the increase is slight but that the increase in number of bales produced will be several thousand. Very little complaint of damage by weevils has been heard and the showers that have begun to touch practically every section in the county will prevent the cotton from throwing off it's fruit With the continued dry weathre of q week or ten days ago this phase was declared a great deal more than the damage by boil weevils.
 The corn crop, however, is not with out damage especially in the dry streak sections. There are sections in the. county that have had MO rain for more than six weeks and in these secetins, the corn crop is irreparably damaged. Though taking the county as whole it is estimated that the corn crop is good with some fortunate sections re- porting yields of 50 to 75 bushels per acre.
