evil thing, why is it not right
to call halt?
This is not saying to a man you
shall no longer drink anything
Intoxicating: but saying to the
vender of strong drinks, you shall
not continue in that business
which does so much harm to your
fellow men. Surely, there is
nothing here inconsistent with
personal liberty worthy of the
name. A man may choose to
hurl a dynamite at his fellow
creatures in order to main and
kill: shall we grant him that sort
of personal liberty? We trow
not. For indulging in such dang
erous liberty we send men to the
penitentiary or to eternity.
A community has a right to
self-defense. The sort of per-
sonal liberty that the saloon
friends cry about has been under
restraint more Or less for many
years. The law has been saying
to the saloonist, Thou shalt not
sell to minors; Thou shalt not
sell to habitual drunkards; Thou
shalt not sell on election days;
and now, if the voters of the
county will it, law will say to
him, Thou shalt not sell at all
within the county. The principle
underlying all these legal enact
ments is the same, the welfare
of society.

Dislike Curly Haired Men.

1t is not generally known that there

curly haired men when it comes to
choosing jury When asked to ex-
plain the objection to curly haired men
a prominent lawyer said:
when | was just starting life my
legal mentor inculcated that idea very
forcibly into me. He said that curly
haired men almost invariably had been
the pampered darlings OF their parents
and in their youth had been so ac-
customed to having their own way

that everybody on earth was wrong
except themselves. In this way the
seeds of opposition were sown, and
as men they made it point to dis

Representative Jim" Watson,

Representative Jim" Watson,
of Indiana, the Republican
whip" of the House, is contin-
uing his efforts in behalf of an
early adjournment of Congress.
Mr.. Watson declares he has re-
ceived assurance on every hand
that the proposal to adjourn
about May 10th is feasible and
that the energies of the leaders
of both Houses of Congress will
be bent toward that end. Ap-
parently the chief question to be
considered is what President
Roosevelt will think of an ad-
journment withoutldefni action
on the matters he urged in his
recent message.
Darwin ]. Merrerole of the
Ethical-Social League of New
York called at the White House
this week to ask the President to
consider the advisability of man,
ing a commission at once to enter
upon the study of the question
of what may be done to help the
million or more unemployed men
Of the country. Mr.. Merrerole
believes that such a commission
should promptly visit Europe,
where the old countries have had
years of experience in caring for
the unemployed in times of
stress. It is believed that Presi-
dent Roosevelt will heartily CO.
operate in any practical plan that
may be evolved by Mr.. Merre-
roles organization or any other:
He has been much upset over the
enforced idleness of thousands of
men in the government navy
yards at Brooklyn, Philadelphia,
Washington and elsewhere, be-
cause of lack of appropriations
to pay them. So far no feasible
plan has been suggested.
It is the opinion of officials in
Washington, conversart with the
many problems involved in the
administration of the municipal
government at Harbin, that the
question can be worked out am
icably and to the satisfaction of
all parties concerned. At the
State Department the opinion has
been expressed that too great
Importance has been attached to
the negotiations which have been
under way recently, and that
nothing has grown out of these
negotiations that can in any way
becloud the relations between
this government and any of the
others involved.
