Bailey it is said, is a very polite gentleman, and
paid particular attention 10 q who sat next to

soon as the meal the Constable followed
Martin out and kept his eye him until late in the
afternoon, when Bailey and Martin had an under

FREE.THINKER SPEAKS.

Mr.. EprroR:-In your trenchant reply to Mrs. DE
Geer Call. there is an episode. TO which. as free
thinker am impelled to offer a rejoinder. refer
to your comment the resolution adopted by the
convention Bismarck Grove. in favor of the pro-
hbitory amendment to the Constitution. | am free
To admit that the resolution uncalled for. not
being within the purview of purposes which the
vention called TO consider. The grand distinct
i've aim of the Liberals throughout the country is to
secure equal rights under the law, for all opinions
and beliefs and they depart from that aim when they
allow their assemblages to become mouth-pece for
promulgating the isns of tue day, or the 'hobbies
of socalied reformers. But when you assert that
there is an Inconsistency between advocating the
broadcast federation in individual sentiment and sup
porting measure for the suppression OF the liquor
traffic, must Join issue.
In assuming that the prohibition either Of the man
ufacture sale of Intoxicating beverages is an inter
ference with private rights yon lose sight OF the
fact that the very essence OF human laws is
infringement of lberty-that for the common good
of the race mankind have tacitly agreed to surren
der a portion of their natural rights. Certainly,
free-tiinker would be willing to impute to laws
divine origin, and the foregoing statement is believed
be in accordance with the deductions Of those who
have made Jurisprudence study. The question: then
simply resolves itself into of public policy, and
the question of the abstract right has nothing to do
with it. beyond that OF other proposed measures.
Among philosophers and thinkers the Limits of Leg
islation has been a theme of speculation John Stu
Mill. in of mis- essays, discusses the subject
but, believe. does not attempt to draw the strict
line of demarkatiOn between those matters which
come within he scope of statutory enactments and
those which do little reflection will recall the
tact that almost great question of public policy
has been wrangIed from this same standpoint. Such
find to have been the with regard to protec-
ton and free-trade marriage and divorce usury and
liquorselling; one party conisndng for absolute
srictive prohibitory nature but the ever-recur-
ring problem being just at what point legislation
would be transcendng its legitimate functions. by
interfering with affairs Of Individual or private con-
