Yet it is of vital importance. In substance the court holds that it is a violation fo law for ro official to search a home for evidence of a crime except as incident to an arrest made under a lawful warrant at the same time and place.This is one of the constitutional rights of the people. In Boyd against the United States, 118 U. S. Reports, the Supreme Court gave a lengthy decision upholding this same constitutional right. And yet how many, many times it has been violated by officials enforcing the prohibition and the narcotic drug laws. They have no right to enter a home with a warrant charging a crime. They have no right to search the home without that authority.This principle Is as old as the Ang-officer could enter if unless he held warrant charging' felony, crime violence, or concealment of stolen i goods. That teome might be the cot tage of the poorest peasant with its thatched roof open to the wind and ; rafta, yet. even the king could not step across Its threshold.For Brcrrtarr of U,.

ETES, of Nottoway.RICHARD EVELYN BIRD.Richmond Times-Dispatch.Too often it is perfunctorily said that the death of a prominent man constitutes a loss to bis community; so pften it is perfunctorily said that \lhe statement has almost lost its significance. In all its literal and original significance, the death of Richard Evelyn Byrd is a blow to all Virginia. For Richard Evelyn Byrd, of the long, long line of Byrds of Virginia, was one of his state’s most brilliant servitors.Mr. Byrd held office now and then daring hie distinguished career; but it was never the office or the holding of it that distinguished him. He distinguished every office, every post, he ever held. He would have been one of Virginia’s most noted men if he had never held office, for such was the quality of his mind, such was the steadfastness of his courage, such was the fineness of his spirit, that he could not have gone through life unnoted by his fellows._His standing at the bar was exalted; not only was he an incisive and often eloquent speaker; not only was he quick and sure of comprehension and expression in the course of actual trials; not only was he keen and penetrating in the examination of witnesses; not only was he powerful before a jury; but—and this is not frequently true of men possessed of those abilities—he was a profound lawyer and student of the law, a wise counsellor, an almost flawless draftsman, both of legislative bills and of pleas, petitions and declarations, and he was a historian and a scholia* of wide attainments.Ail these won for him public success and the admiration of the bench and bar. But, combined with certain characteristics of brain and heart, they eminently equipped him to lead In legislation for the welfare of his state and to point the way to true statesmanship. He was wholly without fear—personally or politically; therefore, opportunism or expediency played no part In his career. He was ardently devoted to Virginia; therefore, he bent his efforts to the service of Virginia. He was notably qualified to separate sound doctrinal grain from fluttering political chaff; therefore, his efforts accomplished much.Years ago, before prohibition was considered seriously by more than a few, this wise and far-seeing publicist demanded and obtained the enactment of legislation restricting, rig-quent young lawyer was pleading the cause of personal liberty. It was there. John Adams skid, the child, Independence, was born.But if that scene has not been painted by a great historian, ita spirit lives in our organic law. The fourth amendment to the constitution declares that H1®, J**11* °* th® People to be secure their Persons, houses, papers and effects against unreasonable searchers and seizures shall not be violated and no warrant shall issue but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, particularly describing the place to be searched and the persons or things to be seized.The Supreme Court of the -United states In the case of a man whom the Officers .arrested and afterward went to his house and serached for erl-,ncehis crJm®. has again upheld this vital right of the people.HP PL I NO RHYMES By WALT MASON.THE BEGGARm.°dj * bu»y city corner sat an old blind beggar man, and I placed a hard-earned quarter in his little rusty «aiL* *ben a glow of conscious virtue lighted up my careworn form, and mv head was proudly lifted, and my heart was god and warm.
