ODOR OF MASH SUFFICIENT

For some time there has been cir
culated throughout the state by persons
opposed to the enforcement of the pro-
hibition law information to the effect that
no search warrant could be obtained for
the search of building or other en-
closure unless the person signing the
complaint therefor could swear to a sale
of intoxicating liquor having been made
in the place. Apparently this interpre-
tation of the law was acquiesced in by
some officials who were not overly
anxious to proceed against law violators.
The Illinois Supreme Court has set this
matter at rest in a decision just handed
down in the case of People v Laven-
dowski, 329 ILL.,, P. 223 The court in this
case held that the odor of fermenting
mash used in the manufacture of in
toXicating liquor, emanating from
building may be a sufficient basis for the
issuance of a search warrant under the
Prohibition Act. The court said:
Plaintiff in error further contends
that the search warrant was issued with
out probable cause and was therefore
void. Section of article of the con-
Stitution provides: THE right of the
people to be secure in their persona
houses, papers and effects, against I'M
reasonable searches and seizures, shall
not be violated; and no warrant shall is

affidavit, particularly describing the place

to be seized" The complaint upon which
the search warrant was issued set forth
that the afiant was familiar with the
odor of fermenting grain mash used in
the manufacture of Intoxicating liquor
commonly called hootch or homemade
whisky; that he smelled that Odor and
knew that it emanated from the premises
occupied by the plaintiff in error. If
there is reasonable ground for suspicion,
supported by circumstances sufficiently
strong in themselves to warrant
cautious man IN the belief that the person
accused is guilty of the offense charged,
it is a sufficient basis for the issuance of
a search warrant. people V. Daugherty,

"HONOR FARM" NOT HONORABLE
Too Easy Treatment of Imprisoned
Crooks Makes for Increased En-
forcement Difficulty

No wonder there is wide complaint to
the effect that enforcement officers and
courts are dealing too leniently with GRIM
inals, and the criminals find it compare
lively easy TO evade punishment even
when convicted. Illinois furnishes an eX-
ample of too lenient punishment for the
criminal.
A Chicago dispatch says that it requires
thousands of dollars of the money of the
Taxpayers to convict the handful of
crooks out of many thousands, but that
conviction and even sentence frequently
means practically nothing. 1t cites condi-
lions at Statesyille where several months
ago the convicts on the "honor farm had
the custom of slipping out in the warden's
car, cracking safes in adjoining towns,
and getting back without being discov-
cred. In one case police and citizens pur-
sued the robbers to the gates of the hon
or farm" but we're denied admittance. 1t
was literally a haven of safety for the
crooks.
Now, according to the dispatch, they
are at it again. Three convicts under sem
fences of from three to twenty years for
robbery were arrested by highway police
after their car had collided with bus.
The convicts were drunk and the car in
which they were riding belonged to the
superintendent Of the honor farm" poul-
try yard.

Section "a provides:

The Volstead Act contains similar pro-
visions. Below will be found a form of
notice which may be used by owners who
desire to terminate tenancy when the
tenant is guilty of prohibition law viola
tions.

BORAH FIGHTS FOR DRY
PLANK
Senator Begins Campaign for Dry Plank
in Chicago Address Before Ham
ilton Club

A Washington dispatch of April 81 an
nounces that Senator Borah, of Idaho,
will begin his speaking campaign for
prohibition plank in the Republican plat
form to be adopted at the Kansas City
convention in June, before the Hamilton
Club, Chicago. Senator Borah thus will
open his fight in the home state Of the
one Republican candidate who has failed
to answer his prohibition QUESTIONABLE,
former Governor Frank O. LoWden.
While Senator Borah has made no
specific engagements, he plans to make
four or five more speeches in both the
east and west before the opening of the
Republican convention on June r.
This opening address is to be made at
the annual dinner of the Hamilton Club,
the foremost Republican organization in
Chicago, which counts in its membership
some of the outstanding party leaders of
the middle west and the country.

many such incidents and they always,wlll, as long
as laws are violated Manifestly, there is no good
reason to expect that prohibition enforcement
should be any exception to the general rule In the
difficult and dangerous work of enforcing the law
against liquor criminals, those charged with the
duty of enforcement too often find the vioator IN
ambush and heavily armed. Surely it would be too
much to expect, when the desperate character Of
bootleggers run-runners and high jackers is taken

What the facts in regard to deaths in prohi-
bition enforcement? There have been 128 deaths
in the enforcement of the National Prohibition Act
since the law went into effect over seven years ago.
while in Chicago alone, according to recent state
ment by Chief of Police Michael Hughes since 1925,
the police have killed 143 suspects in enforcing city
ordinances and state laws. In the same period not

hibitiOn enforcement

It is significant that in spite of the fact that
nearly 80 government officers have been killed in
raids to say nothing Of those who met death in other
ways in federal prohibition enforcement, the news
papers that bending every effort to diSeredt
prohibition, by celebrating upon deaths in its en-
forcement, have not uttered a single sentence of
regret that these government officials engaged in
the enforcement OF the Constitution of the United
States, should be shot down in cold blood by those
who were violating the laws and the constitution of
their country.

Inquiries as to what to do are often
made to the Legal Department of the
Anti-Saloon League by owners of property
who have leased or rented to persons
whom they suspect may be violating the
prohibition laws. Both the state and fed
eral laws contain provisions under which
owners are liable, if they are not duly
diligent to protect themselves when they
have knowledge that their premises are
being used in violation Of the prohibition
laws.
Section q of the state law provides:
IF person has knowledge OF. reason to
believe that his room, house. building,
boat, vehicle structure or place is oc-
cupied or used for the manufacture or sale
of liquor contrary to the provisions of this
act, and suffers the same to be so occupied

REVERENCE.

Psalm 1:1-Blessed is the man that
stitch not in the seat of the scorn-
full
AS we look about us, the most ar
resting characteristic of American life
today is the spirit of irreverene-ir-
reverence of children for parents; If
reverence of parents for children, who
indeed are no longer children but Gust
kids; irreverence of all for author
ity, for the church, for the law of the
land and the law of God.
Sacred things are treated with a
careless familiarity which breeds con-
tempt. The priceless racial heritage
of faith, of knowledge, of culture is
regarded with bold f1ippancy that
tramples pearls under foot and turns
to rend the Giver of them. Here is a
fact to ponder-a portion of the con-
stitutional law of the land furnishes
the butt for ninety per cent of the
jokes of minstrel end men, vaudeville
comedians, Main Street smart Alexis
and Mr.. Average Citizen.
1t is an ominous mood which prom
Uses no good for the future of our
country 1t is the lack of reverence
for authority which turns masses of
men into lawless mobs which disgrace
the name of America, and put us on
a level with the lowest savages. 1t Is
the lack of reverence for the deep
things of God, if it continues I'M
checked, will cancel all the spiritual
gains of the Christian centuries and
eliminate in a reversion to barbar-
ism and chaos.
Without reverence there can be no
true friendship either with man or
God. Without reverence, life is a
shallow thing. Without reverence, we
shall remain forever strangers to all
that is finest and best in this world
and, the world to come.

.USTICE-SILENCE-
DARKNESS.

The recent kidnapping and murder
case in Michigan has elements of I'M
usual interest.
All the other murders of note in re-
cent months have been dealt with in
a spectacular and dilatory way. They
have been exploited by cheap lawyers,
cheap office-holders and cheap news
papers to the point of nausea. They
have been fought out according to a
professional code that takes more ac-
count of the technical rules of the
game than of justice. Sentimental
ism has been carried to sickening eX
tremes. In the end, the offenders
have usually gone free, or gone to
prison under conditions that prom
ised early freedom. The victims have
been forgotten. Judicial dignity has
been founted. Criminals and attor
neys and tabloid newspapers have
made our courts laughing stock at
home and objects of scorn abroad.
This Michigan case was handled
differently. A sort of Jekyll-Hyde,
church elder and carpenter, pietist
and pervert, kidnapped and horribly
murdered a little girl and was caught
after a quick, effective man-hunt.
Here were all the elements for jul
dicial farce-tragedy of more than US
ual dimensions. And behold what
happened.
In three days from the time of his
arrest, that criminal had been ar
raigned, tried, cnovicted, sentenced
and deposited in prison for life at
hard labor. And that really seems to
be the end of him. 1t was done so
quickly as to take the public's breath
away: First a blaze of excitment
and horror, and then silence and dark
ness.
Perhaps the offender should have
been hanged or electrocuted. But
there need be no quarrel over that.
vengeance is mine, l will repay,
Sd1un CTe LOEu. MlCillSdu IOluluo
capital punishment. Perhaps Michi-
gan doesn't need it. The essential
thing is to get such human beings
out of the way. That has been done
with admirable dispatch. 1t is not
conceivable that the state which put
him away so neatly will ever let him
loose again for other crimes to COM
nit.
This is something like the way to
deal with such monsters. No fake
heroics. No sentimentalism. No jury
monkeying. No browbeating of the
judges. Ne delay. No feeding the
self-esteem of half-crazy criminal.
Nothing to move other weak heads
and rotten hearts to similar crimes.
Nothing but swift justice, silence and
darkness.
America has been seeking a rene
dy for violent crime. Perhaps this is
it. The formula is recommended to
every State and community in the
land.
