ARE YOU A CANDIDATE?

Have you filed a petition or have
you started circulating one for can
didacy as member of council under
the new city charter? If not, get
busy. it seems to be the rage these
-everybody's doin' it. With all
the candidates already in the field
and the many others who have so de-
clared their intention of becoming
one, there sure won't be dearth of
material from which to select a good
city council the coming fall-that is,
if the voters use their brains.

AGRICULTURAL DEPRESSION

Government agencies continue tt
issue reports that show in cold, un.
escapable figures the results of the
present agricultural depression.
The other day government reports
told of increasing farm tenancy and
decreasing prices for farm products

ment of agriculture with a report
showing that the farm population OF
the country decreased $4,000 persons
last year. The department estimates
that 2,155,000 persons moved from
farms to cities, towns and villages
last year, and that 1,135,000 persons
moved to farms, making net move
ment of 100000 persons away from
farms.
These government reports reveal a
situation that is likely before many
months have passed to jolt even big
Eastern financial interests out of their
complacency over agricultural condi-
tions. Agricultural depression, with
it's lessened purchasing power affect
ing millions of farming families, is
bound to affect general business more
and more. 1t is no wonder that ad-
ministration leaders are reported
planning a farm relief bill which it
is hoped will satisfy both conserva-
tives and supporters of the McNary-
Haugen bill, passed by congress but
vetoed by President Coolidge.

CHINA SPEAKS FAIRLY

The American government joins

upon which the demands are based
are not true and asks an inquiry,
promising the fulfllment of the de-
inands if the charges can be estab-

" Where with our
roo Little Hatchet
OO we tell the truth
about many things, sometimes pro-
foundly, sometimes flippantl-.
sometimes recklessly. ;.

American Federation of Labor off,
cials-and members, too-will be in
terested in certain portions of ELMER
Gantry," latest product of the pen of
Sinclair Lewis, who, in Main Street,
Babbitt and Martin Arrowsmith, has
produced a great many completeness
and committed a great many foolish
ments as well.
Elmer Gantry, as most people al
ready know, is a preacher whose re-
ligious office merely paves his road to
many pleasant sins. He is preacher
whose dalliance with things taboo is
in nowise hindered by his clerical obli-
cations.
Hot controversy RACES about Elmer
Gantry. He is attacked and defended.
That the book is true novel in no
way conceals what Mr.. Lewis does
not want concealed, which is the fact
that the book is more than novel
it is intended to be picture, and that,
dear Knights of the Round Table,
makes it quite another matter.
But why should American Fedora
ton of Labor officials be interested :?
There is a point that seems to have
been missed, and perhaps revealing
it will bring on more controversy.
But, be that as it may.
There are many characters in the
book, and one of them, one Frank
Shallard, clings to the final pages.
Of him it is said in the book:
"It occurred to him that he had
never known how large race of in
telligent and Independent workmen
there were in between the masters
and the human truck-horses. He had
never known how casually these man
ual aristocrats despised the church
how they jeered at their leaders, Off
GERS of the A. F. of L., who played
safe by adhering to voluble Christi
anity."

CILLIOM PLAN
MAY NULLIFY
LIQUOR RULING
Prosecutors Told by~Attor-
ney-GeneraI How to Dodge
Search Warrant Decision.

Attempt to nullify the far-reach-
ing effects OF the Supreme Court
decision regarding the issuance of
search warrants in liquor cases was
made today by Attorney General
Arthur l.. Gilliom in a letter to all
county prosecutors.
The decision was handed down
Thursday in the case Of James
Wallace of Henry County and under
the majority ruling belief" cannot
be held as probable cause" in the
issuing of search warrants. ALI such
warrants must be at the magis-
trate's opinion.
Judges willard B. Gemnill and
Clarence r. Martin gave dissent
ing opinion upholding the conten-
tons of Gilliom in arguing the case
before the court.
Advice to Attorneys
Here is how the attorney general
advises the prosecutors to get
around the decision:
ITO all prosecuting attorneys:
1.-THE Supreme Court Of Indiana
in Wallace VS.. State has held void
a search warrant issued only on an
affidavit provided in Section 81 of
the probation statute. suggest
that you have the issuing officer
swear the affidavit and, ex parte,
hear his evidence touching probable
cause and have the issuing officers
record show that evidence was
heard and probable cause shown.
ALSO insert in the search war
rant itself, following the recital OF
the affidavit and preceding the
commanding part, in substance this:
land whereas, from oral evidence
heard by me after said affidavit was
filed, found that probable cause
exists for believing that the things
described in said affidavit are being
concealed in or about the premises
therein described and are being
there kept unlawfully and in rela-
ton to the offense named in said
affidavit"
Copy Descriptions
IT suggest also that the descrip-
lions In the affidavit be copied in
the commanding part of the war
rant"
This method will leave much of
the burden on the magistrate and
its ultimate effect will depend
greatly on whether the judge in the
case will stick closely to the Su-
preme Court opinion.
Under the opinion, actual knowl-
edge of liquor on the premises must
be testified to before the warrant
| is valid.
