COL. J. M. GALLOWAY WRITES.
Is It Unconstitutional to Cut Up a
Blockade Still Without Trial Be
fore a Court.
Editor Reporter:
The Fifth Amendment to Ihe I
Constitution of the Tinted States:
contains these words: "Nor shall
any person bo deprived of life,
liberty or property without 'duel
process of law.' " It is said that'
North Carolina presented this,
amendment as a condition prece-j
dent to her entering the Union. If
so it reflects credit on her states-;
men of that day, for the essential
principles of Magna Charta are all
embodied in this amendment.
Judge Story and Judge Coolev
our two most able commentators
on the Constitution, both agreed
that "due process of law" means;
trial before a competent court.
Judge Story intimates that a trial
by jury is necessary ns being more j
in conformance with the princi
ples of Magna Charta. If so the
sentence might read "Nor shall
any person be deprived of life,
liberty or property without a trial
by a competent court." There is
a clause in the Internal Revenue
Laws of the United States which
authorizes a revenue officer to cut
a still caught in the act of distill
ation. Governor Scales, who was
a member of Congress at the time
this clause was enacted, told me
its unconstitutionality was freely
discussed and generally admitted
at the time of enactment, but it
was thought impossible to enforce
the revenue law without it. The
legal adviser of the New York
World wrote me there could be no
question about it. Senator Ed
munds, in his day the highest
Constitutional authority in the
Senate, expressed a similar opin
ion.
The revenue law itself admits
t»e principle, for it forbids the
cutting of big stills until con
damned by a ctturt. The little
still can be cut -its owner has no
money and no friends to test the
question before a court.
The papers tell us that the
recent session of the Legislature
passed an act authorizing sheriffs
to cut stills caught in the act of
illicit distillation. If so where
were the lawyer members of
that, body? Were they like the
disciples at the garden of Gethse
inane —all asleep? Can a Legisla
t ire constitutionally authorize a
sheriff to cut down a man's orchard
without a trial? A still isoertain
ly property. To destroy it with
out a trial violates the fundament
al principles of Anglo-Saxon
liberty. The matter has not here
t >fore been tested because the idea
prevails that United States officers
acting officially are beyond the
roach of State process. A sheriff
is not, and those who cut stills
may have them to pay for.
(iovernor Glenn, Senator Sim
mons and Senator Overman oc
cupy the three highest positions
in point of honor in the gift of the
people f North Carolina. I make
n personal appeal to theru to throw
the weight of their influence in
favor of a better observance of the
Constitution. If Constitutional
liberty is to survive in America
salvation must come from the
S )uth.
Our Northern bretheren in their
eager race for wealth and their too
rapid importation of foreigners
an already face to face with
the grave problem of Concentrated
W'ealth vs. Socialism. Take
Rockefeller as a type of Concen
trated Wealth, and the assassin
of McKinley as a type of Social
ism. What chance for Constitu
tional principles in the success of
either? Take the Equitable Life
at one end and the Chicago strik
ers at the other and where could
Constitutional principles get in?
