search they discovered liquor "in plain sight" This
quor was seized and later used as evidence against

man claimed that this evidence was ;lega,1 oh+iaa

My reasons in support of these
declarations are:
No. 13.-Exactly one quick trick
but no more; a following bid guaran-
tees more strength than one trick.
TO approve following bids with any
less trength than original bids opens
the door as widely as wisdom per.

The Silent Governors

Silence the part of the present Governor
and former one at this time is rather to be de-
plored.
The attorney general of this State has declared
that the present Indiana law prohibiting the use of
whisky a medicine is murderous fanaticism and
demands that the law be changed so that physicians
may use it, legally and openly, to save human life
He states frankly that he broke the law in order
to the lives of his little sons and declares that
no should be driven to crime for such purpose.
True, Rev. John Roach Straton nationally known
minister says that Giom should have either let
his boys die or resigned his place attorney gen,
eraL But not even the head Of the Anti-Saloon
League in this State has gone that far.
Instead he announces that whisky is never need.
ed by doctors and brings forward as his proof the
case of James P. Goodrich former Governor who
recovered so he says, without it's use.
That might suggest that the best witness on that
subject is former Governor Goodrich and his ply
1t would be interesting to have statement from
leading citizens to whether the facts are as stated
by the professional dry leader
In his letter to Governor Jackson the attorney
general stated in plain terms that the Governor did
obtain whisky for his wife under advice of his
doctors and that her life was saved by it's USE
The people are beginning to wonder at the
silence of Governor Jackson on a question which
is being universally discussed
If the Governor was driven to the illegal use
of whisky to save the life of his wife, the people e
pect him to state the facts with the same frank
ness and courage shown by Mr.. Giom and to like
wise tell them whether he believes law which
forces a Governor to become criminal to save a
life deserves place in an enlightened community
It is just because men have been afraid to dis
cuss questions openly and freely that public officials
have felt that hypocrisy is one of the qualities of
success, that Indiana has permitted some deplor-
able results at the polls.
Statements from the silent governors at this
time might help the people to reach very definite
conclusion the question raised by Attorney Cen
eral Glonl.

F okker to Search

\ Fokker monoplane is about to
leave New York to search for Nun
gesser and Coli, with F. Sydney Cot.
ton as pilot and Daniel Guggenheim
financing the expedition.
This is the right spirit. While pay
ing homage to Lindbergh the world
should not forget that it owes a duty
to these two men.
1t was not through lack of ability
or courage that they failed, and their
heroic though unsuccessful attempt
merits sufficient interest to discover
what happened to them, to find their
remains and give them an honorable
burial, if that is possible.

Superior Courage

Sheriff HERS had no larger force
Of deputies, no stronger Jail and no
better equipment at his disposal than
had scores Of others who yielded to
mobs on the ground that there was
nothing else for them to do.
The one thing he did have. how
ever. was superior courage.
He has demonstrated to the coun-
try how to prevent lynchings. The
problem requires no special bills by
Congress and no additional laws by
the States.
All that is needed is officers with
courage and intelligence.

" Says:
Most of the LynchingS That
Disgrace This Country
Are Due to Weak-Kneed
Officers.
BY NJ. E. Tracy

Like hundreds of Others, Sheriff
Hers could have saved himself lot
of trouble by deciding it was hope
less to resist the mob and letting a
prisoner be lynched.
Most of the lynchings that dis
grace this country are due to weak
kneed officers.
Sometimes a mob really catches
the sheriff off guard and overpowers
him, but in nine cases out of ten it
succeeds simply and solely because
he lacks the courage to do his duty.
Once in a while sheriff is hurt
in the defense of his prisoner, and
once in a very great while a sheriff
is killed, but generally speaking, Of
ficers of the law escape uninjured.

The only confession I have to
make about the Wright law. I made
the other day to a reporter for the
indianapolis Times, in which when
he asked me as to what I thought
the future was in that respect, par
ticularly after he had told me about
his success with Mr.. Gilliom, l said
that as far as l was concerned, 1
was just as willing the doctor should
lave the right to prescribe brandy
or whisky or any other alleged medi-
cine, particularly in view of his right
to prescribe morphine. laudanum,
heroin, etc, and that 1 though the
provision in our law which prohibits
this was probably a mistake. This
is no death bed confession or last
minute conversion; it is a conviction
to which l have given expression
many times and for several years.
JlOWGNIAt II any OHC Aillllho lOA a
moment that the State of Indiana, or
any other considerable section of the
United States, is going to make any
changes in the Wright law or any
other dray law, looking towards
weakening, they certainly do not
know the sentiment of our people.
There isn't anything pious about this
conviction at all; it just grows out of
wide contact with all walks of life,
wide enough to give me a good deal
of confidence in the soundness of my
own judgment.
There has been some foolishness
on the part of some drys and that
condition will gradually right itself
without any yielding on the main
issue; however, that foolishness is
very mild compared to the ridiculous
