It is interesting, and amusing as well, to read ed
United States supreme court that evidence obtained
By wire tapping is legal. It is not surprising that the
severest criticism Of the coerts decision is made by
newspapers whose sympathies are wet.
It is dreadful to think Of "snoopers" being able to
tap the wir Of q bootlegger and listen to his CONVEX
sation with an accomplish in the profitable business Of
violating the prohibition law. What are we coming to
Is it possible that the last stronghold Of the citizen is
to be invaded and set at naught, with the sanction 81
the United States supreme court, merely that the pro-
hibition law may be enforcedf
Grave fears are expressed by editors who tremble
at the possibilities of espionage opened by the supreme
court and who even profess to think that the decision
may do the cause of prohibition more harm than good
But, the citizen who behaves himself and obeys the
laws Of his county has nothing to worry about.
Even if overlapping were p~raeticed by federal
agents far more than il is or ever will be, the law
abiding citizen would not be molested. Federal agents
do not subject every person they see to scrutiny and
investigation. They can rot afford to waste their time
in harassing innocent people. They have all they can
do to keep up with the violators of federal laws.
Federal agents usually know who they want to in
~yestigate and why. Often there is no doubt in their
minds Of the suspects guilt. It is merely a question
Of obtaining enough evidence to convict.
q great deal Of real or feigned apprehension has
been exhibited as a result of the supreme courts ruling
on evidence obtained by overlapping, but there is nc
public cutlery against it and there is no reason to Be.
lieve that the situation is "tragic and dangerous" as
one newspaper declares it to be.
