HISTORY OF CASE

Ole BerkneSS Of Fa1rbanks, charged with violation of the prohibition laws, through counsel demurred to the complaint on the ground that his residence had been searched under warrant not properly issued. It was ar gued by Berkness that no allega- tion of sale had been made. in procuring the warrant. Judge Cecil H. Clegg, of the Federal Court in the Fourth Division, sustained the demurrer and dis missed the charge against Berk- ness.
 The Government then took the case to the District Court of Ap- peals at San Francisco. Judge Clegg's ruling was upheld ther9 the Court taking virtually the same line of reasoning as that followed in the decision of the Supreme Court today. Where the Alaska Bone Dry Law is in- consistent with provisions of the National Prohibition Act, it held the latter must prevail.
 The Government, under direc ton from the Department of Jus tice, took out a writ of certiorafi and carried the case to the Su- preme Court. Its decision. pub- lished today, affirms that of the trial court.

But Gruen also makes watches $S5 to $50 each that are stylish and more accurate than any other watch in the same price class. Your next watch should be a Gruen.

CONTRACTS GALORE

PARIS. May 31. (P)-Honors and theatre contracts were heaped on modest Lindbersh during his stay in France. He received the Cross of the Legion of Honor from the Presi- dent of France, drank a toast to his dear mother, and received offers from theatrical producers totalling to over $1,OOOOOO.
 Captain Charles Lindbergh stagger- ed thru many hours of continuous joy making when every person sought to shake his hand, Presidents and Kings showered honors upon him. Headers in the theatrical world and representative of various tonic and drug concerns sought to secure his name on the dotted line of many contracts. The greatest of all hon. ors was that received at the hands of the President of France, who placed the Cross of the Legion of Honor upon his lapel. after which he praised the French flyers, Nunges- ser and Coli, who lost their lives in quest of the honor he is receiving. The French went wild and cheered Lindbergh repeatedly wherever he went Everybody in the world seem- ed to be engaged in praising the American flyer Theatrical produc- CTS of note were affected by his skill and they worded their praise in telegrams which offered him to appear on the stage The contracts offered Lindbergh would make him millionaire twice over. Backers of patent medicines want to use ms name; motion picture producers want him to play the hero in their film plays and countless others in vari- ous lines of business are flashing contracts beforei him. After a long day of hearing continuous cheers Lindbergh said he would be glad to get back to flying again. He re- garded his trip as merely a pioneer trip. He said he suffered little on his voyage from his cramped posi- tion in the plane, and not at all from hunger, although he ate only three sandwiches. During the round of events yesterday he wore bor- rowed suit of clothes while tailors rushed to complete enough to tide him over until his clothing could ar rive from New York The date of his departure from Paris for America is not yet known.

HOW SACRED is
THE LAW?
BY Mrs. Walter Ferguson

Whenever lawyer wants to clinch
an argument, he needs only one
word TO floor his opponent-"Uncon-
stitutional." And let a poor layman
suggest any sort of change or i'm
provement in our legal code and the
dissenting howls of attorneys and
judges set the echoes flying.
Now nobody wants to pick flaws
in the Constitution. Nobody is par
ticularly eager to upset any of the
State or national programs. But it
does look as if, with all of the mil
lions of laws we are forever passing,
we might alter or totally destroy
some of our ancient left-overs, if we
saw fit. And what is so terrible
about us actually changing the ma
tional Constitution if need arises?
For, after all, this code was Gre
ated by men who had only the past
and their present to consider. They
could not see far into the future.
Had this been possible probably
many of the problems which now
confront us would not exist.
We all know that it is ten times
as easy to make laws as it is to re-
peal them. And we also know that
what we need most desperately right
now is a lot of repeating.
In view of the fact that the last
half-century has seen more progress
and change than such a short pc
riod has ever shown before, it seems
ludicrous the way in which we hang
on to so many old legal measures.
We do not bother to obey them, we
do not take the trouble to enforce
them, we do not even know what a
lot of them are, but when it comes
to repeating anything, the idea seems
to stun us.
To static minds the ancient will
always be sacred and the new bad
And to many ardent souls a law
passed is as eternal as the rock of
Gibraltar.
For instance, the Honorable Nor
ris Sheppard of the Lone Star State
writes: 1.-THE Eighteenth Amend
ment and the Volstead Act are, in
my judgment, as permanent as the
Constitution itself"
If he means to imply that Just be-
cause a thing is in the Constitution
it is infallibly good, he is making
an unreasonable statement. For no
document is more sacred than the
principles that originated it. 1t is
puerile to contend that what man
has made cannot be in turn changed
by him. q
Tampering with the Constitution
may be as dangerous a thing as
some people think, but surely taking
something out of it is no more sac
religious than putting something in
to it.
