ONEGOOD RESULT

When DR.. E. E. Shumaker head of the Anti
Saloon League, criticised of the Supreme Court
judges and told gathering of preachers that he
should not be reelected, he accomplished one good
result.
For he at last brought out from cover the par
tisans of that judge who denounce, when they reply
to Shumaker, the whole system of Indiana prohi-
bition with it's purpose and intent destroy all Of
the constitution except the Eighteenth Amendment
This particular Judge is now lauded because he
has, on occasion rendered decisions which protect
the individual in his right from unlawful and AFRO
CANT search and violation of his home
The defense of the Judge is that the constitu
ton guarantees to every citizen of the State the
freedom of his person and his home from the snoop-
ing and inquisitive officers Of the law who may sus
pect that he has "a little liquor hidden there
1t is unfortunate that the jealous defenders
OF candidate did not rise in their wrath when their
members of the Legislature were voting without
reading, the law that tries to take away this right
1t is an open secret that the law in Indiana the
most arrogant of any sumptuary law upon the books
of any State. dictated by the dry leader and
passed al the orders of gentleman who is now
permanent guest of the State in its penitentiary
1t is an open secret that the dry law was used
as cloak of virtue by this who dictated laws
and senatorial appointments in order to distract at
tention from other laws quite as vicious but less pop
ular, which he desired
Now, perhaps, the people will have a chance to
ask themselves whether they wished so drastic law
whether they wished to toss the traditional rights
OF security of home and person overheard in order
to enforce their will in the matter of Iiouor npon ali
others.
For the defense of the Judge in question by such
an argument is an attack on the Wright law itself
is charge that the law violates the rights Of

vasionI
Perhaps those who now find the words of the
dry leader Objectionable will be really logical and
demand that the next Legislature repeal the law
which tries to do the very things which they declare
this judge has resented
If we really want our homes and persons to be
free from these attacks and invasions we ought to
wipe out the law that very plainly tries to take away
those rights.
The dry leader is logical His reasoning
is that any one who violates the liquor laws has no
rights and that any one who does not ought not to
object to official search at any time and any place.
If judges still remember some other parts of the
constitution and recollect some ancient rights as
serted by the founders that is their misfortune.
They simply do not understand that we repealed
most of the constitution in order to get volsteadism

While the fellow with poker face may get along
there times when Of us think it needs pokng
Most of the things you think are necessary
wouldn't be missed at all If you didn't think they were
necessary
The fellow who really is boss in his own home
needs one thing and that is to get married.
