GROVER CLEVELAND
ON PERSONAL LIBERTY.

New York Herald, March %, 19O8)
You ask me what l think is the
true relationship between reforma-
tory movements based upon public
policy, by which l suppose is meant
regard for the interests of our peo-
pie in aggregation and care for per
sonal liberty or the rights that at
tach to individuals or private asso-
Citations of individuals lawfully or
ganized.
In ordinary conditions there must
be no fear that the line limiting
each of these within proper bounds
will be dangerously obscured.
OF course there is always need of
reform-a need to the body polite OF
something better than we have, by
way of correcting evils, restraining
hurtful tendencies, preventing un-
lawful conduct, and in other direc'
tions protecting the public good
but in doing all this there should at
the same time be kept steadily in
sight the protection of that personal
or private liberty of action which
lies at the foundations of our insti'
tutions.
1t is when personal liberty has
been misinterpreted or has had fla
| grant abuses, and when a sudden
and impatient uprising for the cor
rection of such abuses breaks out
that the things which should be ex
acted under the name of reform and
the methods by which reform should
be reached are apt to make US heed
less of personal liberty and private
| right At times these movements
are characterized by sort of fren
zied misjudgment so intense that
one has only to suggest that pos
sibly there may be such a thing as
a good cause run mad to subject
himself to accusation of favoring, ol
at least excusing, wrong conditions
All good citizens should be enlisted
in the reform of abuses. But theil
work need be none the less effective
because they are soberly conscious
that when the blare of trumpets Is
heard no more the glory of reform
accomplished and of safe and bene
heent public policy made strong and
lasting, will be a hundredfold bright
er and more satisfactory if the yigol
of wholesome and sound persona
liberty shall still remain unimpaired

THE ILLEGAL TRAFFIC
OR THE REGULATED SALE

(Mansfeld, O., News EditOrial)
Friendships of a lifetime are be-
ing sacrificed in many communities.
Neighbors who have lived in peace
and harmony and close friendship,
giving and receiving kindly offices in
times of social festivities as well as
in days of illness, death and mourn
ing, neither giving any special
thought as to whether the other is a
teetotaler, patron of the saloon or
consumer from the pantry bottle or
the cellar cask, have become estrang-
ed and absolute enemies, all because
of the agitation of the question-not
whether the teetotaler shall be
obliged to drink, not whether the
manufacture or sale of liquor shall
be abolished, not whether there shall
be any real and genuine reform as
to increase of temperance in the
matter of drink, but rather as TO
whether the traffic, made legal by
taxation and regulation, shall give
way to the illegal, contraband and
non-revenue producing sale and con.
sumption of liquor, and the attend,
ant train of evils which exist and
always has existed in so-called dry
territory and even in that pioneer
section of country in the prohibition
movement, Maine, where statewide
prohibition is supposed to prohibit
and doesn't.

PERSONAL RIGHT.
lCincinnati Enquirer.)

May an individual strive to outdo
his fellows in virtue and well doing
with the ultimate end in view of re-
ward in heaven? The question is
neither frivolous nor facetious. A
recent Interpretation of the law is to
the effect that there may not be re-
ward in contest without infraction of
anti-gambling laws. For example,
contestants at billiards may not
leave settlement of the costs of the
game to the loser without implicat-
ing the proprietor of the game in a
violation of law.
If it is good law, and no one per-
sumes to detract from the majesty
of the law, why not extend it's opera
tion to cover all athletic, musical,
literary and mental contests, where
in prizes or rewards are offered for
| skill and accomplishment? 1t is
| automatic that the loser loses. In
evitably, whether the contest be that
of brains or Drawn, he pays tribute
of value or loss of prestige. Plain
| ly the safety of government and the
perpetuation of morality demand the
| discontinuance of all contests of
whatsoever nature that dangle before
| the eyes of the avaricious contest
ants hope of reward or preferment.
| Manifestly, then, that individual who
seeks to outstrip his brother in the
checked in his mad and unreasoning
course and be compelled to conform
his steps to that of his fellow con-
| testant.
This is the era of law. For every
| human impulse, for every instinct
| for every course of conduct, method
| of procedure is now indicated by
well-de1ined and ably devised legal
enactment. AS rapidly as trait or
desire of humanity is discovered
which has not hitherto been covered
by law one is enacted to fit it. The
subject of what and when the indi
vidual may drink is just now receiv
ing the attention of the lawmakers
after which they are expected tC
give earnest consideration to the
subject of what may be eaten ant
when. Thereafter undivided atten
ton will be given to enactment O.
legislation looking to the regulation
of wearing apparel. Much disappro
val having been expressed in many
quarters Of the custom of wearing
tan shoes and ecru cravats, both may
be expected to pass into the limbo
of forbidden things. Feminine appare
will be considered from the stand
point of its effect upon race perpetu
alton, which bodies Ill for the thing!
that are now considered modish.
In the great plan for the ameliora
tion and elevation of the human race
it is thoroughly agreed and under
stood that there shall be no inva
sion of personal right. The idea is
rather, to define once and for al
time the methods, styles, manners
and customs which will make for thu
highest and greatest good for all
after which everybody is expected t
conform willingly and gladly. Every
body is not supposed to know jus
what is best for him, so the law vii
determine everything and lift a grea
load of responsibility and care. 1t i
fortunate that all children ar,
brought UP to have great respect TO
the majesty of the law, thereby reno
ering easy the task of regulating tn
universe by this comprehensive sys
TEN of legislation.
