Personal Liberty.

One Of the arguments discussed IN
opposition TO the prohibition Of the
liquor traffic. is that it interferes
with the personal liberty of the indlv-
idual. The opposition OF prohibition
say man has got right TO drink
what he wants to, just the same as he
has right TO eat what he wants 10
and this is true. The issue now is.
/ shall the manufacture and traffic in
Intoxicating liquors be prohibited.
Eaud it is not that the individual be
prohibited from eating or drinking
what he likes. The traffic in adulter-
ated foods is being regulated by legis-
laton. state and national, and it is no
more Inconsistent TO regulate the H..
quor traffic than it is the traffic in
adulterated foods.
The term personal liberty" is a
catch one. We, Americans. are jeal-
Gus of any legislative influence that
tends TO abridge our liberty; and
hence this sentiment is frequently APP
pealed 10 in the discussion OF public
issues, and friends of the liquor traffic
are making the most Of it in the trial
Of this issue.
One element of our constitutional
liberty Is entirely left out Of the dis
cusSion by them, and that is the mod
itication, that our liberties are limit
ed TO such liberty as does not inter
fere with the rights Of others TO life,
liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
1t is beyond cavil, that the traffic
in Intoxicating liquors does cot inter
ferc with the life, liberty and happi-
ness Of large per cent Of our inhabi-
tants, and when it does, the argu-
ment that the prohibition of the man

Alex Ferguson Kills Friend.

At the Traverse City Asylum last
Friday, Alexander Ferguson crept up
behind Isaac Fuller and struck him
three vicious blows with the limb of a
tree, killing him instantly. Ferguson
had been discharged from the institu-
tion as cured but had returned asking
for work. He and Fuller, another
inmate, were always friendly and
they were put to work trimming an
orchard. No motive for the crime is
known other than acute hallucination.
. Ferguson formerly lived in Echo
township. In july 1908, he was
bound over to the circuit court by
by Justice Boosinger for resisting an
officer on State-st. At CharlevoiX it
was found that he was suffering from
alcoholic insanity and Judge Mayne
committed him To the Traverse Asy-
lum. At home, Ferguson was agree
able socia Die and pleasant. but while
under the influence Of liquor was
quarrelsome.
He was a brother Of Duncan Fergu-
son who committed suicide some
twenty years ago following a drunken
riot on the streets Of East Jordan.
