LazU and Justice
BY Dexter M. Keezer

man and his wife found it impossible to live
together agreeaby and drew up contract provid-
ing for separate maintenance. The man agreed to
turn half of his property to his wife and to pro-
vide an allowance of $40 month for their child the
wife agreed that if this done she would abandon
any claim upon her husband for support The terms
of the contract carried out but subsequently the
wife sought to obtain share of her husbands income
Her argument was that her agreement to give up
all claims to future support by her husband not
binding because she had no right to make such an
arrangement without the sanction OF the State. The
husband claimed that his wife, mature woman of
good judgment, had right to make such contract
and it should be binding
HOW WOULD YOU DECIDE THIS CASE?
The actual decision: The Supreme Court of Illinois
decided that the woman's agreement to give up her
claims to future support by her husband was not
binding. The court said that husband cannot by
contract relieve himself of the obligation imposed
upon him by law to support his WIFE" Such coon
tract decided is contrary to public policy unless
sanctioned by the State

THE RESOURCES OF THE
ATMOSPHERE

Our forefathers knew only a few
uses for air. Today we look upon
the atmosphere as field for ex-
ploitation quite as important as the
ground beneath our feet. The mod
ern industrial chemist mines the
air on vast scale for nitrogen and
oxygen, and to some extent for its
rarer gases. Argon, extracted from
the air, is used for filing electric
light bulbs. Neon, from the same
source, is used in kind of electric
lamp that gives an ge-colored
light adapted for electrical advertis-
ing signs and other purposes.
The "fixation" of atmospheric nit
rogen in the form of ammonia and
other compounds has relieved the
once critical shortage of these prod
ucts. Most of the oxygen used in
the industries for cutting and weld
ing metals and other purposes is OBJ
tanned by the process of liquefying
air at low temperatures. Compressed
air is wonderfully efficient means
Of transmitting and applying power,
almost vieing with electricity in the
number of it's applications. On &C
count of it's elasticity air is the best
of shock abosorbers, and hence is
used as cushion in pneumatic
tires, door checks and elevator
shafts.

Those who have read and even
studied with pleasure the works of
Sir Walter Scott will relish meeting
John Buchan and his new story of
Scotland around 1864, called witch
Wood"
To my way OF thinking, witch
Wood is the nearest approach to
true Scotch that we have had in
printed form in many years.
When Houghton Mifflin Company
sent me witch Wood" recalled
with pleasure Buchan's 1.-THE Three
Hostages" Buchan is a master OF
Scotch dialect of the other days,
especially during the period of the
Covenanters, the days OF the
struggle of the Kirk.
The central figure in witch
Wood" is David Sempill, the young
minister of the Scotch Kirk at
Woodille, a town overshadowed by
mysterious and evil forest or
woods.
In my study of tolerance the world
over, I have never found more
striking example of narrow-minded
criminality on the part of some peo-
pie who profess to have real religion.
The fear and horror of witchcraft,
of course, at that time in Scotland
played an importan. part In
Woodille, If the author has given
us facts as well as fiction.
1t is this hidden and serious secret
building up of cult that froliced
in the moonlight in a forest which
gives the touch Of mystery to witch
Wood"
The reader actually works with
the new pastor of the Kirk in try
ing to find the leader of this strange
band of men and women who put
on artificial dogs heads and Of 9Th
er animals as they froliced In a
most wild and indecent manner in
the woods.
We suffer with the pastor when he
first discovers these strange goings
on in the forest or woods as the
"dog headed man turns on him.
We climb trees with him when he
attempts to see the strange rites
acted all over again in the woods.
| The village folks feared the woods
and its darkness and pretended that
they never entered. One Of the
leaders of the kirk, who thought he
was chosen by God, was the loudest
and the most dangerous enemy of
OF the pastor. But this leader in the
final passages Of the story, actually
becomes the dog" of his mad
passion.
And yet as strange as my idea OF
witch Wood" is, am sure that YOU
will relish pure Scotch of its many
characters whose dialect breathes OF
the old Scotland of years ago.
There is lot of humor expressed by

The Press and the Public

The international press conference which
called to order yesterday at Geneva Switzerland may
prove Of extraordinary Importance to the people OF
the United States and the world
In this day of enlightenment, international rela-
tons largely depend upon public opinion, And pub
lie opinion is mostly matter of what the public
reads in the news columns of its daily newspaper.
That is the way current information is distributed.
1t is of vital Importance, therefore, that our news
should be news and not propaganda. Given control
over the news and through it, over public opinion
tiny minority might easily bring about any sitla-
ton it cared to, including war itself
This applies particularly when it comes to of
cial" or government, news. Control such news
is the main question before the Geneva conference
Two groups of press representatives present
One group represents the official" subsidized or
otherwise controlled press. The other is composed
Of the representatives of the independent assoc
atoms such as the United Press.
The subsidized or controlled press associations with
their allies, seek monopoly official news. The
independents are insisting upon absolute equality Of
treatment with the Official agencies both as to
and to the distribution of news via WIRE cable
or radio.
Here. then, is battle in the public interest if
there was one.
Is the public to be spoon-fed by subsidized con-
troled purveyors is 1t to get the unvarnished
news through independent agencies and form its own
conclusions?
In words Of simple syllables, that's the problem
before the worlds press representatives at Geneva.
Nor is it difficult for the public to see which is the
wholesome and which the unwholesome SIDE

Business Man? Hardly.

There is one real weakness in Agriculture Secre-
tary Jardines new farm relief plan.
Like the secretarys previous proposals. it attempts
to flatter the farmer into thinking himself bust
ness man.
Despite the fact that he borrows from three to
four billion dollars year from private bankers and
from to three billions in credit from merchants
it may actually be that what the farmer now needs
is more money.
And, If the Government provides $500 100000
revolving fund for price Stabiization 1t may be that
the Government has the right expect due interest
But protest becomes necessary when Secretary
Jardine cheerfully announces: This advance would
not be a gift 1t would be loan to be repaid with
interest. The principle is that of farmers as
business men helping themselves"
II the farmer is business man. why doesn't he
prosper naturally by his constantly increasing
efficiency?
Seventy-fve years ago farm hand was able to
for average of only twelve acres. Today the
average is thirty-four acres and in some States 100
acres. American farm efficiency increased 225 per
cent from 1910 to 1920 the number of workers falling
Off per cent but production leaping IL per cent
The net benefit to the farmer has been surplus
production and economic collapse. He produced
around 100000 bales of cotton in 1926 greatest crop
in history and the selling price below the grow
ing cost. This year, however, because weevils and
weather promise devastation the cotton grower can
expect fair price. In other words to be successful
business man, thefarmer must grow only one cotton
shirt where he might grow two.
II the farmer is business man. expected to pay
interest why can't he manage to collect interest on
his own Investment?

Soft Hearts and Heads

Not only was Europe bound to
re-enter production in every posi-
BILE line, but it was a foregone con-
clusion that debt would force her
to compete with us for every pos
sible outlet more fiercely than be-
fore.
We entered the war with sc1t
hearts and came out of 1t with
soft heads.
We seemed to take it for granted
that once the arinistice was signed,
Europe would buy all we had to sell
her at any price we might charge
out of sheer gratitude.
Instead of assuming that she
would put her mills and factories
to work just as soon as she could,
we Rugged the comfortable notion
that they had been closed perma-
nently. :.
We also Rugged the comfortable
notion that we had sewed up
Asiatic and Latin American mar
kets for good.

Enforcing Liquor Laws

That It is impossible to enforce the prohibition laws
without throwing away some Of the safeguards OF the
bill of rights becomes evident the professional
dry leaders attempt to make of search warrants
The more frank of these leaders admit that until
there is vrile public opinion in favor OF pro-
hibition, system of espionage and of search of
suspected places Of sale and manufacture is necessary
To the fanatcal dry, the right of every person
to be secure in his home is not important the
stopping Of the sale manufacture OF bootleg whisky
Not SO very long ago there was little protest when
the dry forces demanded laws that would permit
shoppers and smellers to prosecute as they wished
The turn of the tide OF public opinion has come
and brought with it danger that is as bad as was
the ntolerant attitude Of the dry bosses when they
dictated laws and the policies of public officials.
Some Of the lower courts to take the attitude
that the booegger is entitled to protection under the
Constitution which never intended by those who
framed the bill of rights.
The Constitution was never drawn a protection
for criminals or shield for law violators.
It was intended to prevent official entry into the
homes of sef-respecting citizens who have right t.
privacy and to security from invasion.
The law is the same for the DO logger as it is for
every other citizen, and the same rules of search
should apply to him as would apply to suspect
ed of having stolen goods or committed any other
crime.
The Supreme Court Of this State has interpreted
the law in a sane and reasonable manner SO that
these lower courts should have little trouble in fol-
lowing it.
That lower courts, at the behest Of lawyers for
those who manifestly guilty listen to pleas which
turn the bill of rights from protective weapon
against tyrany to refuge for the lawbreaker is as
bad as the intoerant spirit which Put every citizen
under suspicion and left his home open to unlawful
search whenever envy, hatred gossip desired to en-
barrass the innocent
The liquor laws are difficult to enforce and will al
ways be difficult to enforce until public opinion rec
ognizes drinking as crime and lists it with murder,
theft and arson in disfayor.
But that is no reason for running wild in trying
to protect those who violate this law by tricky in
terpretatons Of other laws
