Muma and his co- defendants were found guilty and each assessed a fin e ., Appeal Was taken to a higher court but the newspaper man lost his case and he was thrown back on the mercy of the trial court. The interesting part of the case js in the fact that the judge in im posing the fines gave no alter­ nate jail sentenoe and did not order confinement of the defendants ‘•‘u n til” the fines are settled; there­ fore, when Muma appealed, the higher tribunal did not pass on these points but threw his case out on, the ground that he did not fnake application for a writ of mandamus to compel the granting of a w rit of habeas oorpus within the required three months. On these tecljhicalities it now seems that Muma may have to spend the rest of his life in jail. The writ of habeas corpus was his lgst hope -and 'it has been denied him because he did not apply w ithiq the statutory time. Muma is a poor man, working for a small salary which will stop when he enters the federal prison. He has not been accustomed to hard labor and probably could not earn much while behind the bars. He has no money and could apt hope to earn much while in jail. So, how can he ever hope to pay tha fine, whiph is $7,000! Christmas Mail Delivery - Uael« 8pm ’s m ail carriers m ost work on Christ­ mas day. T h e postmaster general decided that it would not he practical to have no deliveries for twq days, Saturday and Sunday, sq he has ordered a morning delivery on Christmas. The public should remember that a morning delivery on Christrcas will run well into the after­ noon because of the heaviness o f the mail. If the public would like to M p the m ail carrier have A tittle time a t home 03 Christmas, it can maU its packages early. Not the day before Christmas, but several days before, in time to have them delivered before I)eeeml»er 25. If this*is done,*the mail w ill be no h e a v ie r than normal on that morning.

I n * -»» •-* Clarence Darrow, nuted Chicago criminal law-, yer thinks it is our civic d,uty to violate the pro­ hibition law. The way to get rid of a bad law, Mr. Darrow contends, is for everyone to violate it. But we doubt the logic of the gentleman’s argument. W ouldn’t it be better to turn to the other extreme and enforce the law to the letter! Arrest every violator, impose the maximum sentence. Then if the people did nut want the law, they could move to have it repealed. O pen violation of the law would bring no good to the country. y It would make of us a uatiou of gaarebjsts. .
