JUNE 30, 1920.

BEHOLDI ASST. CHIEF CASSIDY HAS CAUGHT A CROOK. It Is turning out quite a usual. Every timo an attempt is made to enfor-. th law against the booze ring, thy have plenty of friend, usually headed by n eorp of pollre court lawyers ready to spread most any sort of discrediting scandal. Th federal authorities engaged in the locl raid against bootleggers. ar.il home talent distillers, etc., and the Morles that have ben made current regarding- them, are no exception. And behold the police! In thl3 eae they appear to have been disposed to join forces with the nrand.il mon-rs. the federal men having overtopped their prerogatives, and shown up their lack of efficiency. Consequently behold Asst. Chief Cassidy ushering forth to bring down tho.-e federal ofTlclala reported to have been conducting kangaroo courtF, and collecting various neat fln.-n, apnuring the bootlgpr r Fhooit down of protection. The assistant chief proved that he can catch a man If he wants to. and certainly did want to get those federal rdflclal an-1 .'how them up in an Ignoble light to the. popular view. And he got them; at least one of them only It proved not to b a federal official but a pretender. It was a gang of mok3 impersonating these federal officers, under the euph onious titl of "special police." po??i.ly distasteful to the a.istant chief, but 5till a faet. The mon y that had been taken runn up into the hundreds of dollars. Perhaps the assistant chief would have let the offender go had he learned poon enough that he was not a federal ofTlCPr before It got out that he had been captured. Anyhow, the story rif whil true to the extent that men wie literally being held up by thl3 kangaroo j . roeep was not true because of any work of federal employee. Men who Indulge in such work should bo dealt with to the full extent of the law. We are glad to know that Prohibition Commissioner Orbison declines to have his men slandered and misrepresented wherever they go, and that Uncle Sam Is standing behind htm and his helpers. In their proper sphere they should have the support of every lawabidlmr citizen and greater care should be taken than has been In the repetition of rumors and weird tales. Still it is perhaps best that thus far they have been gien publicity. It has forced the issue. This pretender might have been plying hu trade yet had not the publicity given it started an investigation, and suggested to the police that here was a good opportunity to get even, seeing as, due to the superior court order, retraining the unloading of that Zhnmer-Dambachrr li-juor upon tho federal officials, that relief had fallen flat. "We guess too. that anxiety was more on tho part of the police than on the part of the government. As we understand it nmv, the prohibition officer? were goirg to be more, accommodating than any thing else and ns is usually the case in anything that comes up from Indianapolis, whether by inspiration from the attorney general's ofnee. or the Anti-Paloon league, as this case is being reputed; of course, accommodating to the city hall gang. They went a little too far when, with an unnecessary chestiness, they undertook to lnterftro with something within the jurisdiction of a tate court, though, under a proper mode of operation, it is probably a matter that can be amicably adjusted. Aside from tho demands of th superior court for real evidence for use at the Zimmer and Pambacher trials with reference to this liquor. Pouth Bend wants to know whether or not it is there, and also whether it is liquor or colored water to which end no number of receipts from federal officials, unsupported by an inspection to prove whether or not the liquor receipted for Is liquor, will answer. Wo would be more thin pleased to give the police credit for holding that 10.". cases of American Pride .'nt ict. when it is known that they have done so. We would like to see them deserve credit for something.

SOME ERRONEOUS IMPLICATIONS IN MR. BURLESON'S WET PLANK. "Whatever the outeem- of the wot and dry fight At the Part Franci-oo convention and tinlike hypocritical republican, r.o democrat will deny that there is dissension on the point, Postmaster Gen. Hurlc sop.'? so-called "net plank, as he proposed it. l-i highly lnterr stir c- and deserving of comnunt. It 1 fo rpa:li'!ir.esQue in misrepresentation and disregard for truth, following the ghost of g. o. p. methods in tlchtlng I-e-.gie of Nations, that one might almost accuse leaders of that opposition party of the invention. However, it is only a wet plank, product of wet sentiment, and for a t purpose one of the most splendid examples of the U-nuths to which the socalled "liberals" personal liberty apostles. and state rlghtn demagogues. are willing to go when necessary in order to make a j cint. (Jet this: "The Vo'sttad act, vetoed by a democratic arident. and pHs?ed over his veto by a repub

lican congress. Is an extreme exercise of the power granted by the ISth amendment, etc." That is slop for the wets and sand-paper for the drys It is also false, it is false as a whole, but the question of Its bfing an "extreme exercise of the powers granted" by the amendment, being a matter of opinion, t it pas3. The Insinuation, however, that the president vetoed it on that account, 13 absolutely misleading, and if the president's veto m.iy be used In rebuttal, euch insinuation savors of downright prevarication. Understand us. We do not claim that Pre.s't Wilson Is any such a pronounced dry as Ls Col. W. J. Pryan. He did not, nevertheless, veto the Volstead act on account of the enforcement of tho ISth amendment at all, and explicitly said ro. He raised r.o question as to the proper applicability of the law for enforcement of the constitution, but distinctly stated that his objection to It lay In Its application to war prohibition, which in his judgment, as he expressed it to congrers should have been repealed. The president left every reason to assume that but lor the applicability to war prohibition he would have approved of the bill. Does Mr. Burleson presum to tell us the president milled us? Wo do not say that the president was right In his veto even on such basis. It was our comment at the time that the measure was passed over his veto, that for once consrress had been rli?ht. and the president wrong Just that once, incident to which we also challenge Mr. Burleson's further Insinuation that the republicans in congress alone did It. You could easily draw that conclusion from his reference to the overriding of the veto "by a republican cor.trress." Fact of the matter Is that while the republicans are In tho majority In both houses you can count that majority on the fingers of your two hands, and it takes a two-thirds vote to pass a bill over tho president's veto. Accordingly It would have taken every republican and nearly half the democratic vote to pass a bill over tho president's veto but even that was not the case. The figures have been temporarily mislaid, but a fairly good memory, upon which we are willing to bank, shows a very little difference In both the republican and democratic votes, whether for or against the repassage of the Volstead bill. The republicans and democrats, while determined to repass the bill, and get rid of the squabble, were still so scared at the wet and dry votes back home, that they came out nearly evenboth In their race to repass the measure and in not to repass It. Therefore it was repassed and the credit belongs to both parties with but a slight shade of difference. The president has enough to answer for with reference to his veto of the Volstead act, because of his antipnthy to the extension of war prohibition, without seeking to make it appear that he was opposed to efficient enforcement of the constitution. Mr. Burleson misrepresents the president, unwarrantedly and decisively. Imposing upon him an undue, discredit, no less represenslble than tho undue credit he would give to the "republican congress." This latter Is as asinine as the republican claim that the president prevented ratification of the Paris treaty by the senate. Fact of the matter is the senate could not ratify the Paris treaty with Its mueh mooted Iodge reservations, even after W. J. Bryan had lined up with the republicans more democrats than was necessary to ratify The record shows that only 20 democrats voted against tho treaty In the senate, after slightly modified Lodge reservations had been passed. The republicans with that aid should have had 76 votes for Its nullification program, but their irreconcilable 16 were quite as obdurate against any ratification, as were the 20 democrats who stood firm against nullification. Mr. Burleson should not condescend to that low level of the republican leaders in their efforts to perpetrate fraud upon the public, by such misrepresentation even in a cause that seems to him no dear. But then, such is Burleson.

FOOD SPECULATOR ON JOB. There aro Indications that the ever-watchful food speculator has his eye on the alarming reports of farm labor shortage sent out from many state;?. It id true that the farmer is sorely In need of help. His problem, however, is not only of the Immediate present, but even more of the future. He will manage to get through this season In tome way, and there will bo no actual shortage of foodstuffs next winter. So the speculators may as well cease their efforts to make high price propaganda for themselves out of the misfortune of the man who grows the crops. The fear of an actual food shortage Is in the future, with inor'i and more men and women leaving the farms. We gh'.i still have food for next 'winter, with an ever-d windlingr surplus in the years to come.

rRnr.KAij and statt: laws. ( India naiHil is NVas.) There seems to be some official misunderstanding in Indiana as to the relative Importance of ttatetf and federal laws. A federal law is something that must be enforced anil for violation of which punishment Is pretty certain to follow. A state law, it seems to be the feeling in some places, is a law that need bo enforced only occasionally and for violition of which only the unfortunate are punished. On the heels of revelations as to conditions in Kvansville and Muncio comes the statement of the Fnited States prohibition commissioner that th liquor laws in South Bend have been "almost entirely disregarded." Federal agents operating there: have been able to uncover many violations. Making or dca'ine- in intoxicants is a violation of state as we'l as federal laws. Iocal authorities are as directly concerned in the enforcement of the prohibition laws as the federal government. If the federal asents are aide to discover violations, the local authorities, with equal or greater facilities and a more intimate acquaintanceship with home conditions, must know that the laws are being tilsregarvled. As far as the obligation to enforce is concerned, the state law Is as Important as the federal law. and the duty of local authorities to prevent violations is as clear. It is common talk that the liquor laws are bein? flagrantly and generally violated in a number of Indiana cities. Such laxness seems to be due in part, on the one hand, to an official misapprehension of the Importan . f the state laws and the duty of enforcement. ;ir 1. on the other, to the feeling naturally following s-rh an attitude that the law can lv? violated without much fear of punishment. It is only v. he n the federal law is imoked and when federal officials act that it seems to be understood th"U law Is law and that violators are likely to be punished.

More Truth Than Poetry

! . By JAMES J. MONTAGUE

A CHAPTER OF NATURAL IIIS TORY. The tu-tlo has no nerves; In Ktatutesque repose, He solemnly observes The way the river flows. A pleasant life forsooth Yet in a year or two. He's cut off In his youth For stew. The cow is cool and calm. She never has the blues; Without a fear or qualm Her placid cud she chews. No wound from pen or tongue. Her placid heart can break, But she will perish young For steak. The lordly crocodile Is a phlegmotlc beast: No raging on the Nile Disturbs him in the least; Yet many years before His life is at full tide They shoot and skin him for His hide. If I were born a brute (As man may be, some An) And had. unarmed and mute To make my worldly way, A tiger I would he, For every' one observes. Who's seen the beast, that he Has nerves.

Good For Tlu Campaign, Anyway. Most political platforms ought to be strong, considering the mount of concrete that enters into their manufacture.

WHAT'S IN A NAME

ANNABELLE. Etymologists are authority for the contention that Annabelle is by no means a combination of the names Anna and Belle and therefore, does not mean "i-alr Anna" as is generally supposed. On the contrary, Annabelle Is one of the Icelandic "eagle" names and is translated to mean "eagle heroine." In her very earliest origin she i closely associated with Arabella, the name which was first borne by the granddaughter of William the Lion of Scotland who married Robert tie Qulnci.' But etyomolglsts believe that Annabelle was originally Arnhilda and was cut down by the Normans und their Latin secretary into Annabelle. It was later amplified according to English fancy, and in our present day has been contracted once more to Belle. There are various spellings for Annahelle, some prefer Anabel: otherx choose Annibel and still others Annabel. Edgar Allan Poe chose Annabelle as the name for the heroine of his poem of Love Eternal. Everyone is familiar with the exquisite lines. "Neither the angels in Heaven above Nor the demons under the sea. Can eve dissever my soul from the soul Of the beautiful Annabeüe Lee." The sapphire is Annabelle's talismanlc gem. It promises for its wearer happiness In love and constancy from those who love her. Saturday is her lucky day and 7 her fuckv number. (Copyright. 1920.)

The. forces and faculties will be found keyed to a high pitch of energy and enterprise, and under such impetus all lagging matters should be pushed to a conclusion.

along serenely and happily under a j

narmonlous sway. The tendency to small worries should be curbed. Those whose birthday It is are assured a lively and prosperous year, provided they avoid specula
