Editor and Publlaher A Timely Decision Decision of the Oregon supreme court yesterday in the McDaniel case, holding that a search warrant is necessary to search a person, is merely a reaffirmation of individual rights conferred by the constitutional "Bill of Rights." It is timely, nevertheless, to check the growing lawlessness of irrespons ible officialdom, which has construed the Volstead act as an abrogation of all other laws, which assumption has led to all manner of infringement of personal rights. We have had numerous raids upon suspicion, both with illegal warrants and without warrants at all, both upon person and upon property and the statute abuses have multi plied, principally because the victims have not sought the aid of the courts to maintain their rights. Few of these outrages have been perpetrated by the constitutional peace officers, who are under bond and understand the law, but principally by the special prohibition officers, whose fanatical zeal knows but one law, and their course has gone far to dis credit prohibition enforcement. A year ago, the state prohibition commissioner, upon an Illegal warrant, invaded a private home in Portland, and was upheld by the governor, who ordered everyone to set his house in order and welcome the visitation of his official snoopers. The courts, however, declared the raid illegal, and reestablished the ancient doctrine that a man's home was his castle and could not be violated at will. Last month the same commissioner raided a British ship, in violation of the treaty enacted between Great Britain and the United States, and seized liquor under seal, was arrested by the federal government and forced to return the liquor and sign an abject aixilogy, confessing his error. Now comes the McDaniel case, where the defendant was Beized on suspicion and illegally .searched without warrant and the supreme court declares: An officer has tlio authority to scurch the iicrsun of a man when he holda a Bcarch warrant lmtut-d to him by a iiiaKHtruto Dr ho may search a man who Is In his custmly by virtus of a IckiU amut to answer aomo criminal charge pending or In contemplation. It Is admitted here that the officers had no Fearrh warrant. If the search was legal, it must come within the authority of the officers to search the priHouer In their legal custody to answer for some crime. If It dues not come within that rule, then It comes Within the prohibition of the constitution against illegal searches. The foundation of Anglo-Saxon liberty is the Bill of Rights, which represents the long struggle against oppression by crown and official tyranny beginning under King John with the barons at Runnymede and becoming established in the revolution of 1G!J8 with the final expulsion of the Stuarts. I Personal liberty was assured in America in the first amendments to the Constitution, without assurance of which the instrument could not have been ratified. It was embodied as the fundamental of the constitutions of Oregon and othor states. Its maintenance is therefore far more important to the nation than any statute that may be adopted as a result of popular hysteria or political pressure. The search, seizure and warrant articles of the Constitu tion are not the only ones infringed in the enforcement of the dry law. We have the right of trial by jury denied in certain instances: we have double and. triple jeopardy for the same offense: and we have deprivation of liberty and property without due process of law : we have excessive bail, excessive imprisonments and excessive fines; we padlock and destroy in violation of the bill of attainer clause, and we deny recompense for illegally seized property and for many of these constitutional violations, we have sanction of cowardly courts. U is the established aim of the Anti-Saloon League, to abolish the Bill of Rights insofar as it conflicts with prohibi tion enforcement, and in this effort they have by coersion, secured the support of what Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler styles our "paste-board heroes" and our "papier-mache" statesmen. Persistence in the policy will eventually exasper ate the people into mollification or repeal of the Volstead act as they are already ignoring it. Prohibition is an experiment but the Bill of Rights is the fundamental of freedom and must be preserved or our liberty perishes. TODAY'S CROSS WORD PUZZLE VERTICAL 1. IV-tlf 4. i'oiiltaeiit H.

Silently she allow ed her maid to take her wrap and outdoor sown from her and bring her a negligee. "I don't think I shall need you tonight, Stizan," he laid, "Has Mr. Ritlston had his din ner yet?" "He U dining now In his room." "Then J aha 11 not disturb him Ask Mason to bring mine here. Af terward I shall go to Mr. Kulttton's room and we shall watt there fr Miss Marta who -has gone out to dinner, and who, I expect, will not be home very early " Mason brought the tray almost Immediately, but Mrs. Ralaton ate very little. After the butler and the maid had both left the room she sat mo t Ion leas for a long time. Finally she got op slowly and going to her writing desk drew a cheet of paper toward her. With her pen poised, she still hesitated while her eyes grew pitying and then with sudden resolution she wrote: "I have been trying to decide, Kent, dear, for at least a half- hour whether It would be better to telephone or write you and because I am a coward, because I could not bear to hear your voice with something gone out of it, I am writ ing this letter. "I am sure that you understood this afternoon when X asked you to telephone my attorney and tell him that I had put off that con ference with him Indefinitely, that I had determined to make an ef fort at reconciliation with Harold. "Later, when I visited the hospi tal and saw Norrle and Itafe to gether I wondered that I had ol-1 lowed tilings to come between' Harold and me that should need reconciliation. Although those two were both suffering, I found in their eyes the glory and radiance of that great love that I remem bered as Harold's and mine twenty five years ago. "With the stent of their happi ness and the knowledge of their hones for the future a light broke in upon me. Who was I, that after twenty-five years I should tear down the home that Harold and 1 had raised, a ho.iid that had be.n built on the pnsuion and fire of young lovd, whose rooms had been pleased with great Joy and uanc :'fied with bitter tears. "I could not now t the ground that beautiful edifice and let my daughter think it was all ( only an illusion. I ciuld not let her for one moment believe that her love and Itafc's must too come to an inevitable end. "Something surged into my soul, Kent I knew our love Harold's and mine had not ended. It had only changed its mold and we poor mortals had turned away from It even though It was more In keep ing with our lengthening years. "First, Harold wtnt straying Into primrose paths, eearching, search ing for the same glowing ardent youth that he had forever left be hind. And I. left In the shadow. turned to you for sympathy and yon gavo It to me, Kent. You brought back to me my aelf-rw-!ect. Your kindness told me that if my husband neglected me there were others that thought me fair. You even braved Harold's anger and disdain to tell him that you loved me. "Kent, I Bhnll be ever grateful to you for I think that in the first flush of my disappointment and grief at Harold's neglect I would have died had you not come to cunttort me. "As I look back upon this inter lude I know that you never thought nor dreamed that there would be any other end than that I should return to Harold. "r'or your loyalty, your kindness, your respect, your admiration, my friend, I shall be in your debt for over, and I am writing this letter to ask you that when you think of me In the future, you will not re member my eeli'Lliness in taking all that you gave so generously and will remember that down deep in my heart, although sometimes I have tried to forget It because I wanted to forget It, there at way rested the feeling that I was Har old Kulatou's, for better or for worse. "Friend of mine, I shall never be able to show you tn Just what grateful esteem I hold you. I can only ak that in the future you will nut let me color your life with nything but the happiness which cne must have who knows that he has made life worth while to some other person, for this is what you have done fur me. "1 am going now to Harold, my husband, to see if we can straight en the tangled skein of our Uvea 1 do not know yet if he has grown out of his love for me. I do not know yet if he wants to be forgiv en and to forgive. I know only that these are the things I shall ank of him and that thee are the things that you have made putwible for Jean Ralston."
