No democratic state has ever
been destroyed by the police of
that state. On the contrary, the
laxness of the police of democratic
states has helped make it possible
for conspirators to bring down the
democratic state and erect ty-
rannous one in its place. The Ges-
tapos have followed the collapse of
the democratic state, not pre-
ceded it.
ONE thing that creates pre-
" objection toward fascism
among the people is the break
down of law and order. Where
crime is rampant and goes I'M
punished the people incline toward
even a tyranny if it promises them
relief from those who prey upon
the social body.
The German and the Spanish
republics were so libertarian that
they could not protect the people
from wild strikes. from constant
street fights and from the organi-
cation and open operation of gangs
falsely calling themselves parties
and patriots and appealing to lib
erty for the right to create social
chaos. No state that cannot main
tain order will continue to live.
THIS democracy has a crime
l. record which is ominous. The
immense area of the country, the
millions of automobiles, the net
work of motor highways, the lack
OF any border police between
states. the absence of any univer-
sal system Of registration, all put
the officers Of the law under grave
handicaps.
The telephone is a public instru-
ment constantly used by criminals
and TO say that il cannot be policed
Is TO offer an open invitation TO
criminals 10 use il freely for their
purposes. II privileged information
obtained by such policing is used
against innocent persons, there are
legal means of dealing with such
abuses. If there are not, they
should be created.

DUT it is impossible TO police
- anything without becoming
party to extraneous and sometimes
intimate information.
If murder is committed in an
apartment house. and the evidence
indicates that il was committed
by some one resident in the build
ing, every tenant of that house
will be watched by detectives.
II can be very unpleasant. The
detectives may find out intimate
details about the lives of people
wholly innocent of the crime. And
If such discoveries are known to
the persons involved. they. will no
doubt feel that their freedom of
action has been infringed upon.
The highways are policed. If a
suspected kidnaper has been de-
scribed to the police as travelling
in a maroon-colored automobile
with New York license plate, il
is bad luck for all the innocent
people who are also travelling the
highways in maroon-colored auto
mobiels with any sort of license
plates.
The innocent individuals, how
ever. put up with the incon-
Veniences and humiliations because
II is in their larger social interest
that kidnapers should be appre-
hended.

By DOROTHY THOMPSON

I LISTENED last Sunday night
to a debate on the Hobbs bill on
the forum of the air conducted
from Washington by Theodore
Graniek. The purpose of the Hobbs
bill is to repeal the court decision
that prohibits law enforcement
authorities TO tap telephone wires.
The bill was defended by Con-
gresham Hobbs, who is responsible
for it, and by Assistant Attorney
General Holtzoff. 1t was attacked
by Arthur Garfield Hays, the
well-known liberal lawyer. and by
Lee FRESHMAN, counsel for the
Go.

IT SEEMED TO me that in the
L entire debate the issue was
never once simply stated. II is
simply whether the law-enforce-
ment authorities of this country
have the right and the duty TO
exercise police control over the
waves and wires of the air in the
pursuit of lawbreakers.
They do police the railroads, the
highways, and the mails. May they
police the telephone, or is it alone
10 be free territory and a happy
hunting ground for criminals?
Mr.. Hays argument was that
the policing of the wires consti-
tutes an infringement on civil
liberties. Why? Why is it any
more of an infringement on civil
liberties than the policing of a
street, or highway? Or of an
apartment house?
One of the speakers said that
the difficulty IS that II Is Impossible
TO tap the wire of suspect with
out listening in to and recording
many perfectly innocent converse
tons. perhaps intimate ones. and
so enable the police TO become
party to private information which
is none of their business.

Bonners Ferry
Sponks Libby Nine

In meeting Boomers Ferry for its
first league game of the season the
Libby baseball team encountered
two foes, Boomers and its own
nerves. After a shaky start it looked
as though the young, inexperienced
club could rally behind Brown, Lib
by's veteran southpaW, only to col
lapse entirely in the eighth inning
and allow the Boosters of Boomers
six runs and the game, Is to 8.
In spite of the score, however,
Libby showed definite promise of
developing into winner. The team
as whole showed fine spirit at all
times and most important of all,
the ability to hit, trait lacking in
recent Libby teams.
Libby fans will get a chance to
see their home team in action this
Sunday when they open at Recrea-
ton Park against Sagle, Idaho, who
have one of the finest pitchers in
the northwest in Turnbold, young
right handler who struck out % men
in Sagle's opening game against
Boomers Ferry two weeks ago.

of the engineers on the matter. In
event there is too much opposition

government would agree to return

state from which it was collected.
He stated it was not his belief

administration of federal affairs.
