It is well that the public should know the causes back of this-mortality and the Daily Mail, which is itself a very live and vigorous publication but which knows what it is talking about, gives the right cue. It says: “The increased cost of publishing periences dodging official bullets from officers gone mad with authority and i The news columns \of the Daily News in recent months haVJTTepprted case after case where ununiformed of ficers have hailed automqbrle travel ers innocent ip every respect and when their hails have not been re garded, have blazed away with pistols ostensibly at tires,- actually at any thing in the general direction of the automobile.

The People-Sentinel is against the prohibition law* The Daily News has no idea that Jesse Wyatt deliberately aimed* his pistol af^Stephen S. Holt and fired W'ith intent tojvill him. It is entirely will ing to believe that the officer aimed or thought he aimed at the tires. That makes no real difference in point of exceeding authority. The man is dead and dead because an officer of the law, following the practice or other ofn- cers of the law, all running amuck,- perpetrated an act for which there is no defence in fundamental human right. The tragedy comes because the people of this' State~Have meekly~suI)-~ mitted to the growth of this hidjying. shooting spirit instead of attacking* neither its nor through law, its patent, development.

When it started again, the detective, who jumped to the conclusion that a li- - quor deal was in progress. The de tective was in plain clothes.
