Constitutional SnObbery

Some Communists were in by the Los Angeles
police as a result of their activities Red Thursday
Clinton j. Taft, director Of the California branch
Of the American Civil Liberties Union, appeared be-
fore the board of police commissioners Of Los Angeles
to protest against what he alleged to be police brutality
and violation of the constitutional rights OF persons
dwelling in the United States.
At first the commissioners objected to hearing Taft
at ALL But he was determined and patient, so they
finally listened to his He was CURLY informed
by Police Commissioner Pierce that Communists
have no constitutional rights in America" This ap-
parently was part parcel of the theory which
Magistrate MacAdoo in New York City refused to
admit Foster and his associates to bail.
Commissioner Pierce and Judge MacAdoo appear
to have overlooked part of sentence tucked away
in an obscure document called the Constitution of
the United States of America. In Article XIV is a
clause which directs that state shall deprive any
person of lfe liberty property without due process
of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction
the equal protection of its laws"
In two other sections of this venerable framework
of our government essentials of due process Of
law" in criminal procedure thus described:
I'm all criminal prosecutions the accused shall
enjoy the right to speedy and public trial, by
impartial jury of the state and district wherein the
crime shall have been committed. Excessive bail
shall not be required excessive fines imposed nor
cruel and unusual punshments inflicted"
Perhaps the commissioner and the judge would
defend their views the ground that Communist
is not person AT any rate, those who most abhor
Communists should be the most hesitant to help them
prove their case against capitalist justice.

Mind Own Business

IRON time immemorial, prophets,
l. quacks and reformers have used
long life as an argument for their
wares.
Multitudes have followed them, in
the hope Of attaining it.
But when you find centenarians
you usually find men or women with
sense enough to do their own think
ing.
AS a general proposition, they
mind their own business, which
means that they are not worn out
by being bossed, or by trying to boss
others.
AS the old sage puts it, ''Dr. Quiet,
DR.. Diet, and DR.. Merryman are the
best physicians"
We have made considerable prog
resS in saving babies, but we have
made little or none in prolonging
the years of old people.
Not only that, but death seems
to be gaining on the middle aged.
1t is surprising how many are
dropping out at As or so or are be-
ing killed by some mechanical de-
vice.
DR.. Merryman may have some
chance in spite of all the comno-
ton, but Doctors Quiet and Die
have very little.

you recall that eighteen were

York was a town of only 1000
people.
New York always has been a
cosmopolitan community.
In that respect, it has been diff
ferent.
Boston was Puritan for a long
time; Philadelphia was Quaker, and
New Orleans was French, but New
York always has been blessed with

Adrift on the Che apeake of James
Point in a disabled open motor boat,
with high seas whipped up by so to
so mile gale threatening every minute
to swamp them, two Washington fish
ermen were picked up late last night
by the Old Bay Line steamer State OF
Maryland and set ashore today at Nor
folk, Va.
The two men, Charles w. CAN'T and
D. j. Donahue, had put out In their
launch from Plum Point about o'clock
last evening when the bay was calm
and clear. Later in the evening the
engine in their boat went dead and
until they were rescued they dr1fted
about helplessly.
Meanwhile, strong northwest wind
had come up and by o'clock the seas
were running dangerously high for an
open boat. The two men kept their
craft headed into the waves as best
they could.
They took turns tinkering with the
dead engine and trusted to fortune that
if they did not succeed in getting it
started, another boat would pass within
hailing distance. They were cold, wet
and beginning to grow alarmed when,
about 1890, the lights of the State of
Maryland, bound from Baltimore to
Norfolk, came into view. They signaled
the steamer with an electric hashlight.
The lookout aboard the bay boat saw
the light and Capt. Sidney r. Foster
Of the State OF Maryland turned on his
course to investigate the light.

Mature Reaction to DepreS-

FARMERS OF MIDWEST

Protest Against Hard Times Rather
Than at President Expected to

BY G. GOULD LINCOLN.
Staff Correspondent of The star


COLUMBUS, Ohio, October is.---
THAT do the voters think of President
. Aoover and his administration? Both
are the subjects of conversation today
in all parts Of the country. An election
for Senate and House is almost here,
AS general thing, Republican candi-
dates are basing their campaigns for
election on the record made by the
Hoover administration. This is not
true, however, In some Of the States
where the insurgent, anti-administra-
ton Republicans are seeking re-elec-
ton to the Senate-in Nebraska and
South Dakota, for example,
In survey Of the political situation
which has extended from Nebraska on
the west to South Dakota and Mime
sofa on the north and across the great
Midwest States of Illinois, Indiana and
Ohio have asked, what are the peo-
pie saying about the President?" Sum-
ming up the answers given, it is found
that there is much less personal criti-
cism Of President Hoover out through
the country than has been the impress
sion given in the East, and particularly
in Washington. Theis is no attempt
to belittle the President. He is given
credit for what he has undertaken to
do since he came into Office. Men who
after the first break in the stock mar
ket and the f1caa of business vouched
angry protests ard spoke sarcastically
of Hoover prosperity" are getting a
second wind, apparently. Their more
mature reaction has been that no man
in the White House could have stalled
off the stock market crash or the de-
preston in BUSINESS which have been
due to economic conditions Further
more, the Presidents attempts to stem
the tide Of depression and unemploy-
ment are commented upon favorably.
Democrats Pounding President.
That is not true, however, in Demo-
cratic circles. The Democrats are
pounding the President, declaring his
administration a failure. 1t is true,
however, that in Missouri and Nebraska
and in Minnesota and South Dakota
farmers have been none too satisfied
with farm legislation. Those who have
been hard hit by the drought or who
have felt the effect of the decline in
the price of wheat are clamoring for
something different in the way of Fed
eral aid-the old equalization fee sys-
tenn of the McNary- Haugen bill or the
"debenture." But many Of the farmers,
as well as the business men in the
towns, it appears, are not blaming the
President for their conditions, and some
of them are inclined to give him credit
for what he has sought to do
Some of the voters out through the
Middle West are inclined to be critical
of the efforts made by the anti-admin-
istration Republicans in the Senate and
the Democrats in that body to ham
string the Presidents program of legis-
lation and administration. The tariff
law has been the subject of wide attack
in many of the newspapers. But the

WOODCOCK REPORTS
DRY FORCE DEARTH
Director Says Prohibition Bu-
reau Is FunCtioning Bet
ter, However.

Amos w. Woodcock, director Of pro-
hibition, said today upon his return
from visit to Chicago and nearby
points that he had found the prohi-
bition forces pitifully inadequate to
cope with conditions.
II was impressed with the smallness
of our force" he said. This army of
ours is pitifully small"
Chicago Police Praised.
Woodcock recently announced he
would ask Congress to increase the
prohibition enforcement force by 500.
The director praised police of Chi
cago and throughout Wisconsin for CO.
operation with the prohibition agents.
He said the police cooperation in
Chicago ranked with the best anywhere.
81 am very well pleased with Wiscon-
sin, where found conditions unusually
good" he went on, saying Milwaukee
police helped the prohibition agents in
every possible way.
The director said the Prohibition
Bureau was functioning better than ever
before.
Says Chicago Is Quiet.
Chicago is just as good as any other
CITY," he also remarked. 1T Is just as
quiet city as Baltimore.
Giving a perfectly unbiased opinion,
I found Chicago as quiet and as law
abiding as any city.
81 walked down the streets of Chi
cago and wasn't shot att
Smiling as he talked, Woodcock said
there were racketeers and
gangsters operating in Chicago, as in
other large cities, but emphasized again
that he found conditions there were no
worse than elsewhere.
viii Announce Poll Results.
Contrary to previous announcement
at the Justice Department., Mr.. Wood
cock said the results Of the poll being
taken among 5000 newspapers on their
attitude toward the dry laws never
would be made public.
Last Tuesday the research division
of the Prohibition Bureau revealed the
canvass had been undertaken. The
QUESTIONABLE asked whether the news
papers favored the eighteenth amend
ment and the national prohibitory laws,
whether they were opposed to the same
or were neutral.
The announcement said the replies
would be made the basis for a mono
graph for public circulation.
viii Issue Monographs.
Mr.. Woodcock, on his return from a
visit to enforcement agencies in the
Midwest, said today this was an error.
This statement was followed with the
assertion that the results would be kept
secret.
The bureau will continue to issue
on prohibition, however.
Woodcock said these would give the
facts unfavorable to the dry laws as
well as those favorable.

Paul G. E1nbrey, Carl B. Davis and
Morris G. Beck, each 20 years old, were
sentenced today by Justice Peyton Cor
don for the hold-up of messenger Of

gust last. Embrey was given IL years,

sentence of Beck was suspended and he
was placed on probation, the court re-
marking that Beck did not know the
robbery was to be perpetrated.
Eanbrey was already on probation for
a HOUSEKEEPING charge last Spring, for
which he had been sentenced for three
years and six months. He also pleaded
guilty today to two other housebreak-
ing charges, for which the court i'm
posed sentences of four years each. All

the new sentence of IL years.
Gilbert E. Hyatt, jr., the bank run
ner, said he was approached on NJ street
near Fifteenth by Embrey, who ordered
him into an automobile and drove him
into Rock Greek Park, where his Satchel
was taken from him and he was thrown
out Of the car. The satchel is said
to have contained $3,971.71, a bond
and two checks.
Policeman Dennis j. Murphy ar

robbery and learned that Embrey and
Beck were in the car Beck was taken
into custody the next morning and
on August Murphy saw Embrey in
an automobile talking to woman, and
when Embrey saw the officer he at
tempted to draw q gun, but the officer
was too quick for him. Embrey admitted
to him, Murphy said, that he had
taken part in a number OF robberies
early this Spring.
Attorney H. L. Mccormick appeared
for Embrey and Davis and advised both
men to plead guilty. Attorney Milton
