They areputting children’s dress upon women and charging women’s pi ices for them. Some people deal with religion just as they would with any other business. They are in only for the -money that they can get out of it. Faith in God is all right, but it is vitally necessary that you have faith in yourself, if you wish to win in this world or if you desire to suc ceed in reaching the other. 4 ML If you will read history with your «yes wide open you will note that history is ~epeating itself. We are now reaching the peak of wrong doing, immorality, hyprocrisy and easy living. iu -— The “wets” and the “drys” are spending the people’s money at Washington in useless discussions. Both sideB are well provided with funds. The latter side has the United States Government to back them. They are saying now that the peo fple will not vote. When they did vote their wishes were nullified and they are now permitting the “flan nel-mouthed” politicians to wreck the country. HACK to tuk cconstitution. decision handed down by the United States District Court of Ap peals in the case of John Henderson, a well-known colored citizen of this city recently with Judge John J. Parker, would seen, to indicate that at last we are going “back to the Constitution.” Upon the first hear ing, the court ruled against Hen derson and sustained his conviction, but the Supreme Court of the United States had in the meantime handed down another opinion vitally affecting this case and a rehearing was granted John Henderson with the result that the decision of the lower court has been reversed. The statement is as follows: Two decisions of national signi ficance were handed down by the United States District Court of Ap peals here yesterday. One was a reversal of an anti narcotic net conviction of an ag'vl Hichmond negro, wherein Judge John J. Parker reaffirmed the an cient common law maxim that “every man's hou.se is his castle” in deciding that, because evidence was secured by unlawful search of defendant’s house without a search warrant, it was erroneously admit ted by the district court here, from which appeal was noted- The de cision is expected to have great ef fect in prohibition cases, as it is *iot believed that former opinion., by Federal judge.; have gone as fa in interpreting the fourth amend ment as a guarantee of individual liberty. And again: Whether an officer can search a house without warrant on the the ory that such search is incidental to a lawful arrest was the point at iaauc in the Henderson case. At torneys L. 0. Wendenburg, T. Gray Haddon and Alfred Kirscta, of Rich mond, represented plaintiff in er ror, and the case hinged on the legality of the search admittedly made without warrant by Federal Agents Woodslde and Rocchiccioli. Marked money for which cocaine was aaid to have been purchased was alleged to have been found in Henderson’s residence, in the build ing with his small grocery store. The fourth amendment quoted by the court as a basis for the opinion follows: “The rights of the people to be secure in their persons, houses papers and effects, against unrea sonable searches and seizures, 3hall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particular description of the place to be searched, and the per sona or .things to be seized,” Judge Parker said in the opinion: “The great bulwark of individual liberty incorporated in the fourth amendment would be but a mock ery if petty officers of the govern ment were at liberty to disregard its provisions whenever, to procure evi dence; they might see At to arrest without a warrant upon a belief that a felony had been committed. In the Henderson case, the court held, the evidence had been “procured by means of unreasonable and unlaw ful search in violation of constitu ional rights.” It is gratifying information that this scandalous violation of vested fundamental rights is to cease, that a freeman is not to see the bulwark of the republic destroyed and the great principles upon which this ideal country was founded to be wiped out forever. We have lived in an atmosphere of the whirlwind rule of the majority with no respect for the rights of the minority. Constitu tional law is founded for the specific purpose of protecting the inherent, fundamental rights of the minority. When this factis ignored and dis regarded then we are living in a despotic realm and need only a yrannical Czar to complete our uin. MAN STUMBLES OVER OVER COAT, SKULL FRACTURED. NEW ORLEANS, LA., April 1G.— A late spring and an overcoat are responsible for the fall of William O’Connor, 64 years old.
