Tn-^? ^ ? _ ?.? cr,, ? ^w-,riT-r=??nr FRIDAY APRIL 13, 1923 Just what does "The Old Guard" guard? The great indoor sport of swatting the fly is in full swing. 1 Dr. Cook has found Oklahoma rather hot for an arctic explorer. : (' The president seems to think that the blocs are stumb ling blocks. m 1 ?

In the Army most officers are snobs. What is really needed in America is a charge of the polite brigade. The sugar refiners have been holding a clean-up week all their own. , The liquidation of the government fleet would remove it from dry dock. * Cleanliness is said to be next to Godliness. Let's start a community revival. Mr. Harding is trying to bring normalcy to pen on the iateimatioaAl courtship. , ? V, It is remarkable that rccruiting officers devote so little time to former soldiers. France is said to be weakening in the Ruhr, but she i? keeping a bold front. It looks as ifWilliam J. Burns makes it a regular bus- ! ihess to be hot on the trail. It appears that not even the Invisible Empire is im mum to revolution. \ Uniform dry laws might v.ork. better if the dry agents were foreed to wear the same. At that we'll bet that Doc. Cook found as many ol' wella as he did North Poles. The open shop is a closed issue so far as Mr, Harding ean make it in the next campaign. / Some prohibition enforcement officers consider the con stitution as "just a scrap of paper." The shade of the deceased league of nations is aj twin brother to that ghost of Bunquo's. 'A meiuiin' no harm; but we see where Dr. Moses Bui tea weiser, of Cincinnati, is a Bible authority. At the rate they have been going in Russia it will not be long before she can't even recognize herself ? ? ^ > ' We are afraid that if they go mush deeper into old King Tut 'a tomb they will find some of our latest puns.; It ia reported that a?ido a Tew r or;-, kidnapping, the city elect; n .ji Clwcag > "Hospital Shower" ?

When the world learns that a human being is the most valuable thing in the world most of our problems will solve themselves. ? i 1 i ? \ '? The dead ones seem to be live subjects. For instanoe 1 there's king Tut, and the league of nations is likely to be come a campaign issue. W? want it distinctly understood, so that no offense may ba taken, that Clean Up? Paint Up Campaings doj **t apply to flappers. c: ' A Pennsylvania man is alleged to have eighteen wives. It ia interesting to note that they began to poach on kim just about Easter time. It is announced that there are over 20,000 liquor cases ! pending in the United States courts. The number of cases J of liquor has not been announced. v ? f t ? , J Prince ss Yolandn being now married those of us who have to read the daily papers can take a breathing spell from the American brund of super-snobbery. 1 . ! Tho American government raise;', merry Ned about the execution of Catholics in Rnsssja, but lias nothing to say a bout a murderous attuek being made upon Y. Wi C.

When you atop re think of what has happened there from time to time you arc bound to admit that the guy who named it Hog Island certainly was a seventh son of a seventh son. The prohibition officers assert that they cannot catch transporters if they must have search warrants. In other words, they want to enforce the constitution by violat ing the constitution. i . ? ? Asheville needn't be so uppity about Attorney Gen eral Daugherty visiting that little ciey,We sec by the Bal sam correspondence in our favorite weekly where Mrs. Woodrow Wilson has been spending a few days at the highest railway station cast of the Rocky mountains. We see by a headline where an Ohio woman who has been talking continuously for 6 days was sent to a hos pital. If they are going to hospitalize all women affected with the same malady all materials and labor in the buildings trades will have*to be diverted to hos^al con struction. The Andrews News, under the editorial direction of Weimer Jones, has resumed publication, and is a credit to the weekly fraternity in Western North Carolina, and to the town of Andrews; being far and away tho best paper eyer published in that enterprising little city. The News desorves far bettor advertising patronago and moral sup port than Andrews, progressive in nearly every other re speot, has ever accorded an Androws newspaper. SHOOTING UP THE CONSTITUTION AND CITIZENS This nowspaper has continuously and consistently con demned tho practice of officers, condoned by some courts and by a largo section of public opinion, of pearching persons houses and vehicles without warrants, in attempts to enforce the prohibition laws, and some of our irien<! have gone so far as to\ question our consistency in bein< an exponent of temperance and prohibition and at the same time taking officers to" "task for exceeding their con stitutional rights iu enforcing these particular laws. An occurence, Saturday evening, when a murderous assault was committed upon two yonng women of Asheville, who by the way are Y. W. C. A. workers, by swaggering, pis tol-toting, prohibition officers, sets forth the position we !>avo always taken, better than any -language we might k write. T>:eso young ladies were motoring toward Greenville ?rhen '.hey saw five men ahead of them in tho road, tho road blocked with a car, and tho men, guns in hand at tempt ng to stop them. It looked like an ambuscade. Nat rally supposing the men in the road^to be highwaymen, g;:Ve their car the gas and dashed ahead, when the ?on opened fire upon them, shooting through the automc ' ? ? I o ?; number of times, deflating the tires, and plunging the speeding car into tho ditch, the two girls miraculously ? aping with thcii* lives r'.c apology that the officers made was almost as bad n the offense, a~i, in extenuation of their high-handed ssjuilt, they brazenly proclaim that they had violated the Fourth* amendment to the federal constitution twice bc t" re, in a sliart spaco of time, in stopping and searching y.itoiti biles oi honest travolors. T':e most dangerous enemies that prohibition has in America are not the liquor men, neither the anti-prohibi iionist.s,but over-zealous officers, who swagger about tho l'rnd, clothed with their little authority, and violate not only the constitution and laws of the land, but also the inalioanaijlc right of men, which Thomas Jefferson av erted to bo superior to all human laws and all constitu tions, in their attempts to catch rum-runners and boot leggors.

Can you guarantee protection for thorn through Greenville coun ty?" The newspapers reports ptato that it was said in the Govern -r's office that the telegram was considered an at tempt to be "finny". Funny 1 It may have been s tak<^ nd it have been so intended, but. in reality in 'the light of events of the past three years, it is on of tho most srrio'is and profouud questions that has been Once such an occurence in any state would have arout ed the nation, and if committed by federal officers, w;;uld our representatives plegdcd their faith in the now shat tered instrument that brought into being our gloriru.j Union.
