Using the Paddock Law

The so-called paddock" provision OF the Volstesd
law will be more generally utilized as a result Of the
recent decision Of the United States supreme court.
which upheld the law on a case appealed from Miehi-
gan. Prohibition Commissioner Doram has served no.
tice that paddock injunction procedure will h~encefortn
be used to the fullest possible extent throughout tie
United States.
Prior to the decision Of the supreme court there
was a disposition on the part Of numerous federal
judges and others concerned in the enforcement OF the
law to question the validity Of paddock injunctions.
This apprehension regarding the ability Of the .aw 20
stand the test Of the highest courts has been COM
pletely dissipated, with the result that the prohibition
enforcement officers propose to make more general
use Of il.
There can be no question that the paddock fea-
ture Of the Volstead law places in the hands Of the
prohibition forces a very c~ffective weapon, especially
IN the larger centers Of population where rental rates
are extremely high. 1t touches the self-interest Of the

II is a paradox, but a truth. that despite the over
w~helminE sentiment Of the people of the United States.
the government Of the United States has for some
time past been a chief obstacle 70 every movement to
make war unlikely and to advance the cause OF inter
national peace. Our public officials, and particularly
our senators, are greatly in love with formulas, but
when they come to close quarters with practical ac-
ton, they are so concerned with exceptions, reserva-
tion and provisos that their nominally good intentions
disappear in the smoke of unreality.
But literally enormous progress has just now been
made through the recent action Of the department or
state, taken after informal conferences with members
or the committee on foreign relations Of the senate.
What has happened in this respect since April 8. 1927,
when Mr.. BRAND first made his public appeal to the
people Of the United States to join France in the re-
nunciation Of war as an instrument Of public policy.
is one more illustration of the power Of public opinion.
There arc several other things which the govern-
ment OF the United States may do and should 10 IA
order to resume our traditional national policy and
10 satisfy enlightened and progressive public opinioa.
In the first place, We should bring to an end inc
preposterous agitation that has existed heretofore.

ornaments. by leading the way in a revision Of laws
Of neutrality as these affect sea-borne commerce.
In the second place, the congress should adopt Tire
joint resolution introduced by Senator Capper in De.
cember last which accepts a perfectly practicable def
tion Of aggressive war and indicates our attitude to-
wards such aggressive war.
In the third place, since all the nations or the earth.
except ourselves and Russia and Mexico, are banded .o-
gether in the League of Nations, which is the most
impressive development Of international cooperation
in all history. we should make il our steady policy "a
cooperate with the League Of Nations in its humane
and progressive acts.
Finally. We might easily remove the only possible
ground for unfriendly feeling toward u on The psr,

THOMAS 7 RIAL
CONTINUED TO
MONDAY MORNING

II. Bishen Singh, co-dcfendant and
one of the principal witnesses for
the state in the ease of the people
against l.. j. Thomas, c. b. Doolit-
tie and Singh, was on the witness
stand practically all of the time in
Yesterday afternoon s session of
superior court in Judge Finney 8
department.. Singh has pleaded
guilty to the charges Of conspiracy
to violate the alien land law of
this state, brought against the
thrcp defendants by the 1927 Grand
Jury by Indictment.
In his direct examination by Dis
trict Attorney Head yesterday
morning and in the early part Of
the afternoon, Singh entered tcsti-
'mony which implicated Thomas di,
rcrtiv in his, Singh s, possession of
the Doolittlc ranch.
The specific charge against the
men is to the effect that they con
spired to put Singh, a Hindu, in
eligible to become Il citizen Of the
United States in possession of the
property through lease. This is a
collation. Of the alien land law of
this state.
Singh $ testimony and that of
Issac Duarte was to the effect that
Duartc signed the leases involved
for Singh but that both Doolittlc
and Thomas were aware that Singh
would take possession, furnish the
money and labor for the raising of
rops on the ranch and that Duartc s
Hame was used on the leases merely
rs a blind.
Other testimony entered was to
the effect that the defendant
Thomas had shared the proceeds of
the money ON crops raised by Singh,
Thomas acting rs agent for Doolit-
tie.
The defense showed its hand for
chc first time in the cross-question-
ing of Singh. In the questioning
they sought to bring out the point
1kat after Duarte had left the
ranch, they had called at the ranch
on numerous occasions with other
men, prospective leasers of the pro-
perty.

believe that this is an intimation
that the defense will base it's de-
NAL on allegations that the land
came under Sinoh'S possession
