TEXAS DAILY PRESS LEAGUE
The Hard Path Of the Dry Agent

a MANUAL OF Instructions, recently issued by
Prohibition Commissioner Doran, setting forth a "code
OF ethics" for the dry agents, is causing many filters
Of appreciation among that element supplying thirsty
America" with alcoholic refreshments.
Under the new manual the activities Of the dry
agent are 50 strictly circumscribed that the capture Of
a b~ootlerger Of average shrewdness and cleverness
could be accomplished only by accident.
The manual informs the prohibition officer that a
recent decision OF the supreme court in respect to
searching Of automobiles declared that it would be
unreasonable and intolerable" if any agent we're
authorized TO stop every automobile on the chances OF
finding liquor. The court further held that lin eases
where the securing Of a warrant is reasonably prac-
ticable It must be used. In cases where seizure is i'm
possible without a warrant the selling officer acts I'M
lawfully and at his peril unless he can show the court
probable cause"
There is not much encouragement in that para
graph for the dry official who really desires to sup
press the liquor traffic. The language Of the court is
plain, and the manual sets it plainly before the pro-
hibition officer. Unless the officer has actual knowl-
edge, which ho is probably expected to secure through
some occult channel, he will carefully rafrain from
interfering with the activities OF the liquor vendor,
unless the said vendor who is under suspicion is suf-
ficiently accommodating to wait while the officer Sc
cures the necessary warrant before starting search.
Entrapment, which has caused such vigorous pro-
test from the rum runners on the Canadian border, is
also considered "uuethical" in dealing with the liquor
runners, according o the new manual. Successful
prosecution" the manual says, "has sometimes failed
because there was evidence that the accused was en-
trapped. It is contrary to public policy and to the
views Of the leading courts to punish a man for the
commission Of an offense which he would not have
committed If officers Of the law had not inspired, per-
suaded and lured him to do So"
That feature Of the manual will arouse no criticism
Brownsville herald. [volume] (Brownsville, Tex.) 1910-current, 1928-01-14

from those who desire to see the liquor laws enforc-
ed. but the fact that in q number Of Eastern courts
the evidence Of ehtrapment submitted by the liquor
vendors is often given greater consideration than the
evidence Of officers, has caused the public to form the
opinion that the "ethics" laid down for the officers
might be made more expansive and include the pro-
vision that the testimony Of q prohibition agent should
bave at least equal weight with that Of the party ac-
cused. No honorable officer would use such methods
to secure an arrest, but the court records would indi-
cate that numerous honorable officers have been
falsely accused Of such practices and notorious rum
runners giveH their liberty upon the basis Of such
accusations.
With the restrictions placed upon prohibition Of
fieers and the light fines given booteggers and liquor
vendors, it is not strange that the people Of foreign
countriesgrin with amusement whenever the prohibi-
tion law Of The United States is mentioned.

THE PUBLIC DEBT IN 1927
New York Times)

The Treasury's statement Of public debt outstand-
ing at the end Of 1927, as compared with that Of a
year before, adds another imposing picture to the
years numerous achievements in large finance. OF
the Governments interest-bearing obligations, s1,1ss,-
10000 were redeemed in 1927, nearly the same amount
as in 1926 and $4O7 100000 more than in 1925. So i'm
mense a reduction in the debt has a double implica-
ton; first, in progressively relieving the Treasury
from the burden Of interest payments, which in the
last fiscal year were s247yOOO.OOO less than they had
been four years before, and next in setting free a
very great sun Of capital for investment elsewhere. The
effect on the general investment market Of the Gov
ernments repurchase annually Of a billion dollars
worth Of its own securities, previously held by Ameri-
can investors, must necessarily have been great. 1t
partly explains last years increase Of around 81, OO0,-
10000 in new securities offered to raise fresh capital
in the United States.
Last years public debt reduction conferred in the
retirement Of the Second Liberty war loan. That trans
purchases. Compared with the debt statement for the
end Of 1926, the present recapitulation shows that the
past years reduction Of S3,174,00O,O00 in actual war
loan issues was offset by increase Of slightly over
$1,000 100000 in new short-term notes and Treasury
certificates, mostly offered in exchange for the Sec
ond Liberty bonds, Of which IS, 1O4,52O,0OO were out
standing a year ago. 1t would appear from the figures
that almost exactly one-third OF that large obligation
was paid off in cash, the reminder being converted into
short loans at a lower rate. The present statement
shows that Of the s147,4lS,O Second Liberty bonds
which remained unredeemed at the end Of November,
though interest had ceased to be paid on them after
Nov. Is, S60,353,000 were presented last month for
redemption, leaving sS7,060,0OO still unaccounted for.
The Treasury's operations with the debt this year
will be concerned almost exclusively with the Third
Liberty loan, Of which S2,147,653,0OO is now held by
investors and which must be paid off by the middle
of next september. The impression Of the moment, in
banking and investment circles, is that the program
whereby the Second Liberties were extinguished in
1927 will be substantially repeated.

Bob found Kathleen in her room

from an old wicker chair and faced
