The plea of personal liberty" as an
excuse for violation Of the prohlbi-
ton act was assailed by Attorney Gen
eral Sargent today before the Missouri

Mr. Sargent declared that country is
safe where and when the law is OBJ
served, rather than when and because
it is enforced"

"This proposition that one is iusti-
fed in violating the law because 1t
conflicts with his conveniences. choice,
desire or profit" he said, lis not to be
listened to without instant protest
from every citizen who has the safety
of society at heart"
The Attorney General also argued
that the man who pays a bOOtlegger
to obtain liquor for him sis doing as
great or greater wrong than the one
who receives the money and does
the act"
IF it is morally justifiable," he con-
tinued, lin order to satisfy one desire

SOME POLITICS.
WHAT WILL FARMERS DO:
MAKING UP A'STORY.
DIR. WORM-MUELLER'S BOOK.
By Arthur Brisbane
(COnvri~hA r0QRN


Congressman are going home TO
rest and learn what their constitu-
tents think,
Like husbands going home late,
they arc thinking up convincing
story.
They have cut more than $780,
100000 off the national tax load.
That's good.
They tried their best to make this
country join the world court. and
become subject to its decisions.
That's bad, and more senator's will
know it soon and stay home.
Congress collected some Of the
money that Europe owes US. That's
good. 1t is, as we'll we did not try
to collect all: We might not have got
anything.
Congress appropriated $l50.OOO. 900
to be spent In five years on aviation.
That sounds all right, but there isn't
any American aviation worth speak
ing Of, and that's bad.
What will the honest farmer do
to the Republicans This years elec-
tion will find no answer to the qucs-
tion, "What is to be done for the
farmer?"
