CONSTITUTION BAITERS EN-
EMIES TO AMERICA.

There are no greater enemies with
in our gates than those who assault
our Constitution and the laws of the
land. The more prominent and infiu-
entail the assailant, the more danger
Gus an enemy he is to the Republic.
The Constitution, if it ought to be
changed, can be done so drought pro-
cesses provided by the Constitution
itself and those who publicly encour-
age disrespect and violation of the
statutes put into effect by public opin-
ion are not loyal Americans.
The common lawbreaker is more en-
titled to respect than the official who
winks at law-breaking and all that
follows in it's train of broken homes,
broken hearts and sometimes servi-
tude in penal institutions. The official
has taken an oath to support the Con-
stitution and laws of the land, and if
an executive official he is charged
with responsibility for seeing to it
that they are neforced The public
official who is faithless to his oath or
to his trust is the most malign enemy
of the Republic.
Those who are ready to participate
in mob violence are enemies of the Re-
public. Within the last few weeks
state troops have had to be called out
-, Kapt,,o1y1, o,,d Do1ouyoYo
prisoners from mod violence. The gov
errors who ordered the troops out are
entitled to credit, but the necessity for
such action is a serious reflection upon
the Americanism of those whose
whose threats to take the law in their
own hands made this action necessary.
There is no crime for which the law
does not provide remedy. If a mob
may today take into its own hands the
administration of "justice" under
provocation for a crime committed
yesterday, tomorrow it may take the
law in its own hands to murder the
innocent. The only protection from
violence the citizen has is the reten-
ton of the power of the courts to adj
minister justice. The truly loyal citi-
zen of the Republic will not only re-
fuse to take part in mob violence, but
he will stand ready to protect even
the vilest criminal until he has had a
trial by rallying to the support of the
civil authorities.

Messrs. G. A. Fraley & Sons have

stock of manufactured tobacco, es-
timated at several thousand pounds, is
still held by the receiver and will be
disposed of to private parties. Othera
personal property belonging to tt
concern has been sold individuals.
A letter from Mr.. Gus A. Bolden,
formerly of Oakland, but who has
been in the Pacific Northwest during
the past winter, states that he is now
located at Portland, Oregon, where
Mrs. Bolden is recuperating from an

patients condition, according to Mr.
Bolden's letter is now satisfactory and
she is Receiving nicely.

SAFETY NOW UP TO THE
STATES.

Secretary Hoover INDUCED in no eX-
travagant rhetoric when he told the
national conference on street and
highway safety that the thousand del
egates sent there by forty-six states
to devise a model motor code repre-
scented the best thought of the nation
as we'll as a new conception of demo-
cratic government.
The problems which the conference
studied are serious and complex.
They cannot be solved by legislation
alone. They demand scientific and
constructive thinking, popular educa-
ton and the creation of facilities
adequate to modern cond;- IONS AZ
MI hoos =. pointed out, they demand
also IA far wider degree of co-opera
ton than exists today"-co-operation
of a voluntary character by the forty
eight states.
The model code adopted by the
conference is tentative, of course.
Doubtless investigation and expert
ence will suggest modification of
several of it's features-for example,
the proposed speed limits, the control
of what is called jay walking, the
causes for the revocation of drivers
licenses. But the Importance of uni
formity in sound traffic regulations
can hardly be exaggerated, and no
doubt the conference has given a
powerful stimulus to the movement in
that direction.
The next step must be taken local
ly. In every state enlightened citi-
zens, motor clubs and other civic
and commercial organizations inter-
ested in safety should undertake a
campaign of education in behalf of
the code recommended. Intelligent
action is now possible. 1t should be
made certain.

By the Associated Press.

BOISE, Idaho. August Ex-senator
Borah described the New York State
liquor referendum as the most orig
inal proposition ever submitted in the
history of politics" in an address
here yesterday, in which he defended
the eighteenth amendment at a mass
meeting sponsored by the Boise Minis
terial Association.
New York proposes to determine
what is intoxicating liquor, and in
this way we would have 4S different
standards and kinds of liquor ip the
United States" the Senator said.
"A few days ago l submitted an an
swer to a letter written by Clemenceau
and received telegram from New
York man asking me why did not
go to France to find out what the
French wanted. On the question of
the referendum, ! might ask the peo-
pie of New York to go to the United
States to find out what they want.
In discussing the New York refer
endum, Senator Borah said the ques-
ton is not that of wet or dry. but
that opponents of the eighteenth
amendment are advocating the old
principle of nullifiCation.'
