Strong for the Letter "E"
	Editor Daily News:  As exchange says that someone has advanced the 
opinion that the letter "E" is the most unfortunate letter in the English 
alphabet because it is always out of cash, forever in debt, never out of 
danger and in hell all the time.  For some reason he overlooked the good 
fortune of the little letter "e,"  so attention is called to the fact that 
"e" is never in war and always in peace.  It is the beginning of existence, 
the commencement of case and the ending of trouble.  Without it there would 
be no bread, no lawyer, no success or no life and no heaven.  It is the 
center of honesty, makes love perfect, and without it there would be no 
editors, devil or Never.--Old Faithful.

			Hits Beatings by Dry Agents
	Editor Daily News:  The high-handed methods employed by some of 
these prohibition agents should be stopped.
	This beating people up in raids is un-American and is entitled to 
the severest censure.
	G. H. Wheeler, Rutier chief aide, has figured in more than one 
episode of this kind.  If I remember correctly, he was in some jam down 
in Los Angeles on a charge of striking a woman during a raid.
	Now it appears his agents beat and kicked a man when he was down.  
What kind of a law is this that we are asked to uphold?
	The police would not be able to get away with half of the rough 
stuff that this Wheeler and his men employ.  As for Rutier, he is a kindly 
old sole who probably does not know what is going on.
