A Little More of Liberty
seRfPPs-HowARD

Probably the fanatical dry and the professional
reformer will charge more that the Supreme
Court of this State is wet because it ruled that
there should be probable cause" before search war
rants can be issued in liquor cases.
The decision may be said to show little more re-
spect for the bill of rights than has been found in
some decisions since we embarked on volsteadisrn
u There time when men believed that their
homes their castles, not to be regulated by
shoppers and snifers and entered by the suspicious
asAdThey believed it firmly that they wrote into
HRpstitution provision which makes it impos-
Apact laws which take away the rights of
secure from official invasion except when
JASON to believe that laws have been violated
~ Constitution of this State provides that
warrants shall describe with some particu-
4 and dehniteness the place to be searched and
thing to be found.
Under the belief of the fanatical dry person this
right means nothing when balanced against the pos
sblity that some person might at time violate
this law and have in his possession contraband
liquors.
AS result warrants have been obtained
suspicion and no man can longer boast that his home
Cor his auto his store is his and free from OFF,
=cial espionage whenever any jealous enemy of mali
#cious neighbor is willing to suspect that he may
have harbored bottle of home brew.
1t is admitted that 1t is impossible to enforce the
Law strictly and show any respect for the ancient
#sacredness Of homes.
The logical method, and probably the one next
step that will be suggested. would be daily search
of every home by some Federal agent looking for
evidence.
Certainly no would suggest that homes be
searched without for evidence of other crimes
except those created by the dry statutes
There would be revolution against suggestion
q that search warrants could be obtained indiscrim
nately and upon gossip and suspicion in hunt for
stolen goods. No one would believe that any one
hould be subjected to humiliation Of this sort.
The people have not been particularly rebelious
because they recognized the whole theory of prohib
ION as denial of fundamental and established ideas
Il law and this government.
The Supreme Court says that no warrant
can be issued unless probable Of guilt be
shown.
That may save some people from humiliation. 1t
may preserve little Of the bill of rights.
It makes it little difficult to destroy the
rights for which the founders Of this Government
Sacrificed and which they believed they had secured
for all time.
The liberty loving citizen who has regard for
the real meaning of liberty will be glad that invasons
of homes on mere suspicion will not be tolerated

Guide Posts Necessary

Direction is essential to the EN-
cient use Of power. 1t does not good
to go fast if you can't tell where
you are going.
I am impressed with this thought
every time I ride through the coun-
try for any considerable distance in
an automobile.
We couldn't go from place to place
as quickly and comfortably as we
do if it were not for the route num-
bers and guide posts.
In this connection, Portland has
adopted a custom which is of great
assistance to autoists. The curbs are
painted yellow where one set of
parking rules prevail; black and
white where another set prevails,
and left implanted where there are
none.

LEBANON REPoRTER)

The motorist who drives at an excessive speed
has been the object of much abuse and attention
Without question, speeding is dangerous especially

crowded thoroughfares in some of
the cities the motorist who dallies along at fifteen
miles an hour is made to speed up to a moderate
rate get of to side street, where he will not be
obstruction to traffic. But such sensible regula-
ton, unfortunately has not been widely applied Per-
haps 1t need not be resorted to generally in the cities
where streets usually are wide enough to permit other
vehicles to get around without any particular danger
But heavily Travelled highway that is only
eighteen feet wide, with space for only two lines
of cars, coming, the other going the case
is different. On such thoroughfares it would seem
that regulation about slow well dangerously
fast drivers will become an imperative necessity
Hire is a case in point. Sunday afternoon the
Jackson Highway leading into Lebanon from the
south, was crowded. The lines of cars moving both
north and south almost continuous for stretch
Of pavement about mile in length.
Drivers of most of the vehicles were travelling or
desiring to travel at thirty to thrtyfive miles
hour, perfectly safe speed on good road, even
where there fairly large numbers of vehicles But
few drivers-there were only five or six out of hun
dreds-coming into the city, persisted IN moving at
snails pace of twelve to fifteen miles, thus slow
ing down other cars, which could not safely get
around at account OF the vehicles coming
from the opposite direction.
Some of these dangerously slow drivers novices
at the wheel who ought to have been getting their
practice at driving on some side road where there
were few vehicles. Occupants of the other in
this small group young couples more interested
In their spooning activities than in where they

drivers of these vehicles slowed down almost to
stop, absolutely without warning At times they turned
off the pavement a foot or more. then moved back

1t is condition that will have to be remedied
Fortunately in this instance the 95 9s per cent of
other drivers the highway played safe even at the
expense of inconvenience and prolonged irritation
arising from the behavior of the few But it may not
always be so and in any case. people who get out
on fine road have right to move along at a
reasonable pace without interference from the few
who either inexperienced and therefore unsafe
or are selhshly Indifferent and equally unsafe.

What Byrd Has Proved

The world today thrills with gratitude that they

Byrd's flight is the precision with
which he kept his course, in spite
of the fact that he was without

of the time.

WASHINGTON. Dec. Ex-senator
Walsh of Montana may get chance

His resolution calling for Senate
committee to investigate these sub
jects will be the subject of a public

which it was referred Monday by a

The committee voted to hold the

before the Senate vote Monday that
to send the resolution to this COM
mittee was to kill it or so delay it
that no action could be obtained at

However, committee conservatives
may not be strong enough to kill the

two, Senators Couzens and Howell,
