(Published by Arrangement.) SEARCH WITHOUT A WARRANT.
SHALL.IT BE ALLOWED IN NEW ZEALAND? The following is a true incident which can be confirmed from official records.. The incident took place under. a law identical with the one for which the professional Prohibitionists/are now soliciting votes,. Read it, and then decide for yourself whether ■you desire ,to see a similar state of .things operating in this country : — “Dr. E.' T. Johnson, of the M.KsT. Hospital, in Parsons, Kansas, was sentenced..to six months, in gaol for. ‘possessing and transporting a- bottle of liquor which he had in his travelling bag.’ He . appealed, to the Supreme Court of -the-State on the ground that his constitutional right to protection against search and seizure had been violated when police officers searched his baggage without a. warrant. The of the lower court in convicting him. was upheld.” Under Prohiibtion it is the easiest thing in the world to‘become a criminal. You will never be free from fear of molestation and interference. Your home can be searched at any hour of the day or night. Spies will earn a living bringing • about “convictions.’”* 5.
