"Without or with offense to friends or foes I sketch your world exactly as it goes." The. Lawyer's Revolt The first effect of the drastic Jones bill, providing five years imprisonment and ?10,000 fines or both for first of fense violators of the Volstead act, is the formation of a voluntary committee of lawyers in New York to nullify it by defending those accused free of charge. These lawyers include able men, among them seven former Assistant United States Attorneys, whose sense of justice has been outraged by providing major penalties for what a decade- ago was a legalized act. These lawyers speak ominously 'of the "rumble of a legal drum" and of "fighting this measure with the same vigor as the New. York bar displayed in the case of the enforce ment act known as the Fugitive Slave Law," which was nassed to protect slave owners, and therefor equally as sac- rosanct as the Prohibition law. Like the latter, it diverted the whole machinery of the Federal Government from courts to army, to the sole task of enforcing this one law which in its ferocity and inclusiveness surpassed any measure ever passed by Congress except the Jones' law. It laid drastic penalties upon persons, who violated it and the courts went so far as to rule that bystanders who refused to assist fed eral agents retake slaves were guilty of treason. . The anti-slave states, aided by groups of lawyers, actu ated by the same principles that actuate the New York group today, proceeded to fight the law, and to nullify it by defend ing violators. It was another instance where a drastic law defeated itself because not sustained by public opinion in the states affected. Even the power and might of the fed eral government could not enforce , an unjust law, even though supported by the Constitution. Frederick R. Condert, Jr., who heads the movement against the Jones bill in New York states that the lawyers will offer their services as counsel to persons indicted under this law and fight their cases in court. They propose to interest themselves especially in the cases of small and poor oilendera and will endeavor to see that juries understand the wide divergence between this "crime" and the penalty it may entail. The revolt of the lawyers has been a long time coming, but it seems at last underway. And it means that the en forcement of prohibition .will be thrown into the courts themselves. This has not been the case heretofore. Hither to prohibition cases have been handled by having the offend ers plead guilty in batches through arrangement with district attorneys. Out of 8731 convictions last year, 7841 were so obtained in federal courts, and that is the only way the calendars have been kept -reasonably clear. Faced with the heavy penalties provided by the Jones law, a jury trial will be demanded now in nearly every case, The consequent congestion of the courts will delay trials for years. As the New York World says: The present court machinery could not possibly be equal to such a demand, wnen Emory K. Buckner was District Attorney, it will be re called, he estimated that if Jury trials were demanded In aU cases eighty. live more courts would bo needed in New York alone. Under present conditions, according to H. L. McBaln, professor of public law at Co lumbia University, "violators of the law would live and die before their cases would do Drought to trial." Pendleton Howard, lecturer on crim inal law In the some university, says that to grant jury trials the present court machinery must be Increased "a hundredfold," and reminds us mac - is lutue to pass a law designating drastic penalties without providing court machinery to carry out the law." But given the additional hundreds of millions of dollars to establish additional courts, convictions will not be forth coming because the penalties provided outrage the sense of justice of jurors.. Few will send a youth to prison for five years because some snooper induced him to sell a pint of booze. So the fanatic will next demand abolition of the jury system and a remaking of the Constitution to fit the Prohi bition law, an effort partially successful already. The Jones law itself is a plain violation of the Constitution, which ex pressly forbids "excessive fines, cruel and unusual punishments." Chief Justice Called The fact that Chief Justice Taft misquoted the oath of office when administering it to President Hoover was dis covered by 13 year old Helen Terwilliger of Walden, N. Y., who heard it over the radio broadcasting the inaugural to her eighth grado history classmates. She wrote the Chief Justice telling him that he had wrongly said "preserve, maintain and defend" the Constitution, instead of "preserve, protect and defend" as defined in Helen's history text. The Chief Justice replied that he quoted from memory, admitting that "my memory is not always accurate, and one sometimes becomes a little uncertain," but insisting that what he really had wrongly said was 'preserve, maintain and protect," and not Helen's version of his mistake at all. Helen's insistance that she was right and the Chief Justice wrong, caused three movietone concerns to dig deep into their inaugural news sound films to decide the point, and they proved that the girl was right and Mr. Taft wrong, that his second recollection of what he said was as faulty as his first. r.rtl!5,nf Wl '!!m howfd lrcMmt Hover and 'chief Justice Taft In his traditional skull cap.

NORWAY UNITED WITH SWEDEN THRU MARRIAGE Oslo, Norway, (JPi A firm link was forged between the royal families and peoples of Norway and Sweden and two young hearts were made glad Thursday as the solemn words were pronounced in the old church of Our Holy Savior which made crown Price Olaf of Norway and rrincess Manna or Sweden man and wife. The Norwegian capital has not been given an opportunity in a long time or such festivity and rejoicing. It rose to the occasion with a vast outpouring of the populace which thronged the lavishly-decorated streets and squares in the vicinity and along the route of the wedding procession. Volleys of cheers greeted tne bride and bridegroom and their entourage as they drove to the church and then emerged after the wedding. The wedding ceremony itself was a comparatively simple service and because of the limited accommoda tions of the modest edifice was wit nessed by a few hundred persons only. The most enthusiastic demonstra tion was outside where the Norwe gian people, who have taken their BETTER THAN SODA FOR SOUR, GASSY STOMACH "For some time I used soda for gas and sourness.
