SEARCHING OF HOMES
On December 15, 1791, the ten ori
ginal amendments to the Constitution
of the United States, commonly known
as the Bill of Rights, were declared
to be in force. The Fourth Amend
ment provides as follows:
“The right of the people to be se
cure in their person, house, papers and
effects, against unreasonable search
es and seizures, shall not be violated
and no warrants shall issue but upon
probable cause, supported by oath to
the affirmative, and particularly des
cribing the place to be searched and
the person and things to be seized.”
In spite of this provision, it is as
serted that in Ohio alone more than
a thousand homes in which no liquor
was found were raided by prohibition
officers within the last year. Other
thousands of homes were similarly
searched without authority in other
states.
This wholesale invasion of the most
fundamental right of American citi
zens has done more to cause revolt
against the prohibition law than any
thing that has happened in connection
with its attempted enforcement.
At last the United States Supreme
Cour has rendered a decision in which
the rights vouchsafed by the Fourth
Amendment have been upheld. Jus
tice Butler, in delivering his opinion,
said:
“Belief however well founded, that
an article sought is concealed in a
dwelling house furnishes no justifi
cation for a search of that house with
out a warrant. And such searchers
are held unlawful, notwithstanding
facts showing probable cause.”
“NO BETTER WILL BE MADE”
Looking back only a comparatively
few years, we may remember or have
called to mind many things which
were taken seriously then, but which
cause a smile today.
Such a smile may be evoked by an
advertisement appearing in the Review
of Reviews in 1899 and reproduced in
a current issue of the magazine.
Properly displayed and accompan
ied with an illustration that looks like
an ordinary rubber-tired runabout
buggy, without a tongue, the advertise
ment said in part:
“The latest and best Horseless Car
riage Combines all requirements
for an ideal and practical pleasure or
business vehicle. No better will be
made. Time cannot improve it. $600.
Delivery in sixty days. Send for il
lustrated catalogue and interesting
reading matter about self-propelled ve
hicles.”
The fellow who wrote that adver
tisement took in quite a lot of terri
tory. “No better will be made. Time
cannot improve it.” Think of that—
26 years ago.
FARMING A BUSINESS
In the past it has been the custom
to consider farming as something not
connected with what is commonly
known as business and industrial ac
tivity.
Fortunately not only the farmer but
for everyone else, this idea is passing
and the farmer is being recognized
as a component part of the business
community.
This new conception of the farmer’s
place in the national economy is re
flected in the ever-increasing atten
tion being paid to agriculture by com
mercial and civic organizations.
Not long ago a survey was made by
the Chamber of Commerce of the U.
S. to determine the extent of agricul
tural activities being engaged in by
scrupulous vcleanliness
is keynote at Frye Plant
Your own good taste quickly proves the unusual
quality of Frye’s “Delicious” Hams and* Bacon—
and did you know the scrupulous cleanliness that
is the first consideration at every stage of the
preparation of Frye’s “Delicious” Products,
under Government supervision, satisfying assur
ance would be added to grateful appetite.
THE FRYE
LABEL
gives real assur
ance of unusual
quality and per
fect purity, uook
for it on wrappers
and rind of Frye's
"Delicious" Hams
and Bacon.
Hams and Bacon bearing the Frye’s
“Delicious” label also bear the U. S.
Government inspection stamp, so that you
have double assurance in the all impor
tant matters of cleanliness and quality.
b
local chambers of commerce, to which
questionnaires were sent.
Of the 300 chambers responding with
information 175 maintain agricultural
bureaus, or have farmers represented
on their boards of directors. In some
cases the agricultural committees are
composed ntirely of farmers, in others
farmers and businessmen both take
part in planning for the advancement
of agricultural interets. Often farm
ers, bankers, merchants and profes
sional men all sit down together to
discuss business problems of farming
This is a splendid recognition of the
fact that modern farming is not only
a real business, but that it is one in
which the highest qualities of mind
and character have an opportunity
for expression.
MARKET GUESSES
In the face of many conflicting fac
tors the cotton market has been
somewhat erratic this fall and farm
ers, buyers and speculators have been
pretty much at sea.
Reports of the probable yield as is
sued from various sources have cover
ed a wide range, due to an apparent
inability to judge the effects of the
severe drouth which has been unusual
over large sections of the cotton belt
As a result, the state of mind in
which many interested persons find
themselves is similar to that related
of one Fuller Calloway, of Georgia,
several years ago, who wired his pur
chasing agent in New oYrk as follows:
“Some think cotton is goin up; some
think it is coming down. So do I.
Whatever you do will be wrong. Do
it quick!’’
CITY PICKUPS
“It seems to be that your son is full
of iidsoyncrasies since he returned
from the city.”
“I don’t see how you can say that.
He wras supposed to get rid of ’em
before he came home, and I’ve look
ed through his clothes carefully with
out finding a sign of one.”
