A SPLENDID DECISION
It is too true, but too sudden. It hits judicial prero
gatives below the belt. It is just like putting a swarm of
angry bees undenearth the judicial ermine. It is enough
to make blind Justitia throw a fit.
The United States circuit of appeals at San Francisco
emphatically and unanimously decides that the prohibi
tion law does not permit seizure and destruction of liquor
without seach warrant.
This ought to make your eyes bulge; for it upholds
the United States constitution. But hold your breath un
til you get the second part of the decision, to-wit: “The
remedy,” adds the court, “lies with congress and not in
usurpation on the part of courts.”
Glory hallelujah! It is decided that an ex-ward heel
er wearing a badge cannot enter one’s house and destroy
one’s property, constitution or no constitution, and that
there is something that the courts cannot usurp. Indeed,
the bill of rights may still have a kick in it
Verily, this decision of the United State court of
appeals is pregnant with wisdom and justice. A framed
copy of it should be hung up in every courtroom of the
country and, by all means, in the headquarters of the
American Bar association, which is fierce for exact,
speedy justice and legal reforms—when in its annual j
meetings.
The recent campaign of slander and scandal launch
ed against Hon. Thomas A. Marquam, through the mails,
is just a continuation of the plan followed by the present
Delegate to Congress in Washington, and is apt to prove
a great boomerang at the November election. The voters
of Alaska have long since tired of a campaign of villifica
tion and personal abuse.—Cordova Times.
THE AFRICAN KLONDIKE
In all previously recorded stampedes' of humanity for
gold or gem fields the tough, even the roughneck adven
turer has been the lucky one. The new diamond rush for
an isolated farm in the Transvaal has one element of nov
elty. We are told that “one syndicate employed 30 uni
versity athletes as runners.” Apparently automobiles,
even flivvers, were unasable. There were 120 women
among the 15,000 eager persons who hotfooted it to that
farm after prospectors had already taken out $180,000
worth of diamonds, and some 25,000 claims have now been
staked out.
Medical Note; The difference between a specialist
and a general practitioner is that the specialist uses long
er words. \
One reason why there are more corrupt people in
America now than in 1890 is because the population is
greater.
PARAGRAPHER’S TICKET
If President Coolidge should conclude to withdraw in
1928 we .might have a Longworth and Shortridge presi
dential ticket. That, at least, is something for the para
graphers to look forward to.
No Inducements Necessary
If laws keep on increasing in number, the time may
come when courts will offer a special rate for the violation
of several in one day.
Conceited guests are best. You need only sit and
listen.
There’s one thing about the reformer’s job—when he
gets it done, there’s always a new stock of raw material.
Republicans are queer. They forgive one another for
the sake of the party.
