This case is different in the wayj that death was inflicted, and though it may not have been, in- tentional, the fact that Seibold was a dry agent does not excuse him from obeying the laws of the State of Wisconsin or any other state., But there is a precedent in the fact that enforcement officers who have murdered in cold blood have! been allowed to go free as though murder were a part of their duty. It certainly does not speak very well for the type of men employed to enforce the, Eighteenth Amend- ment, when news reports show that the first thought during an arrest is to shoot. Even a criminal thinks before he shoots, it is said. Nor is the objection merely to shooting. The American people should object] to any breach of conduct on the] part of government officials which would tend to endanger the lives and property of innocent people, regardless of what they might be doing.

Schemm George Spater Sherwood Upton Marie Wellstead Night Editor-PIERCE ROSENBERG FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 15,, 1929 HISTORY IN THE MAKING Attention may well be called in these columns to the holding today of the New York Times Current Events contest in which Michigan students are annual participants. Aside from offering valuable cash awards without demanding a great deal of conscious preparation, the contest seems a desirable thing and is assuredly designed to serve a worthy purpose. It is a fact often deplored by members of the University faculty sponsoring the competition that there seems tq be little active in- terest among the student body in the following of current events and even less interest in the current events contest. Seemingly even the liberal cash prizes offered to the winners by the Times are not sufficient to induce even a small portion of the total enrollment to take the axamination.- No surer proof of the need which the contest seeks to meet can be offered than to point to the fact that the highest grade ever made by a Michigan contestant is 80. Whether, under any circumstances, such competition will ever succeed in stimulating a great deal of r- terest in the news of the day i at best problematical. There can be little doubt, how- ever, that the contest has a number of desirable features. More than that, it may be said with certainty that the annual competition is proving and will continue to prove a thing of definite value d~~ ing encouragement from ouiden and increased participation on the part of members of the student body here as well as in other col- leges and universities. The cum- ulative news of the day is history in the making, and a knowledge of history is essential in intelligent living. LEGAL MURDER After a long record of murder of one kind or another by prohibition enforcement agents who have gone free from penalty, a Circuit court jury in Juneau, Wis., has convicted a dry sleuth, George C. Seibold, by name, under the state "hit and run" law of Wisconsin.

Raleigh Nelson. The young men who will present their miniature dramas, principally designed for the amuse- ment of the adolescent, less scrupu- lously realistic mind, but invariably fascinating to sophisticates who find a charming element of phan- tasy in puppetry, are Forman Brown and Harry Burnett. Harry Burnett, Michigan, '23, was subsequently at Yale with Prof. George Pierce Baker whence he achieved a scholarship for foreign study of marionettes and pupettry. One of the outstanding results of his foreign research was a produc- tion of marionette shows, with cos- tumes and scenery designed by Norman Bel Gedes which secured wide attention when presented and will be offered again when a per- manent theater has been estab- lished for the art. Forman Brown, Michigan '22, as a student was responsible for one of the Michigan Union Opera books (in those dear, dead days-Ed,) and later was Instructor in the Rhretoric1k department. He broke into pub- lication with "Walls" in 1926, a book in verse. Other poeus have appeared in "Dial" and other magazines, while a second colle- tion of verse is to appear this spring from the publishing house of Robert Packard, Clicago. The interest which attaches it- self to these mncii for their Ui- versity connection and for the wide success of their miniature dramas guarantees considerable pleas re in the shows they are offering in the Ann Arbor HIgh &hool au dit ori'm * Y * Sunday, Feb. 17, begins the final week of the engagement of the musical comedy hit, "Good News, at the Cass theater in Detroit.
