Invasion of Personal Liberty.

In the earlier, and, shall we say, bet ter. days of the republic. the first con- sideration that entered into every po- litical struggle, the goal of all effort and the battle cry of democratic as- pjration was personal liberty. To it everything else was to be subordinated and except for crime no invasion of it was to be tolerated The purpose of government was enforcement of laws for the security of life and property and for the general defence. and be- yond that it could not go.
 Under that system men grew up and the country was developed by in- dividual enterprise and capacity which always is found where governments do not undertake to do the work which belongs to the people. Little by little. however, we have drifted into rank paternslism. and there seems to be no one left to protest against it. The general government is practically, op- erating all the ble land in the coun- try as one big farm. It teaches the farmer what to do and shows him how to do it. It furnishes his seed, ana lyzes his soil and irrigates his land. It tells people what they can eat and drink, and by fixing the price deter mines wha. they shall wear. It looks after everr One's health and all parts of the country, no matter what the professed political views, if they want to get anything done, instead of do- ing 1t themselves. or trying to- come as suppliants to the general aoveru- ment. There does not seem to be left anywhere d strict constructionist of the constitution who is strict enough to resist proffered appropriation for any purpose whatever.
 lt is, however, personal liberty that we had in mind IS having suffered most recently and that in quarters where 1t should have been least pos sible. Liberty has always been the boast of democracy. and the home of democracy is the south. The right of a man to eat drink and wear what ever he chose. so long as he did not interfere with any one else's rights. nor disturb the peace, waS fundanoent- al Sumptuary laws were anathema. Now springins up since the fahatical wave Of prohibition which has lately swept over the south. We find laws in dsrogation of personal liberty, and ex- ercising degree of tyrannical gov ernment which can hardly be equalled under any autocracy. In Alabama the law forhids all citizens to have wines cr liduors in their own homes. and authorizes the invasion of the home

by search warrant to discover tsem. 'lna Mobile lately. five deputy sherlifs entered. the home of a Mir Nelson and ..> arched it from toy to bottom. Tn -tnc words of Mrs. Nelson: The dep- .uties turned our beds upside down. ransacked bureau drawers. writing desks sideboards. etc. Finally they went into the rooms of my daughters and demanded that the trunks be opened. I My husband told them they 1ualIy unlocked the trunks and the girls lad to take their clothing out of the trunks with the deputies stand ing over them. The only liquor found was half-p pint bottle in sideboard drawer The deputies carried that away With them" Elsewhere in the state man was refused permission to have any wine at the wedding of his daughter.
 Was there ever a grosser outrage If liberty is to be destroyed and tyran- ny to sit in the high places of the land, lwhat differ.nce does it make whether 1t is concentrated iff one man or IS many-headed?
 The single tyrant is the more likely to the two. to pay some little regard to reason and justice. What empha- sizes the folly of such legislation and makes it the more deplorable is that it is practically certain to be eVaded in a little while, and ultimately to bring 8 reaction to worse conditions than those that were made the excuse for tli- law-Cincinhati Enquirer, Sept. 24 1909

"The Volunteer orsanist."

"The Volunteer Opganist," which is offered at the Broadway theater this afternoon and evening is delightful sentimental play from the pen Of Will jam B. Gray.
 The story of the drama is simple, and is blended with genuine comedy and occasional pathos. There is not dull moment throughout the play and the plot is never permitted to drag. In the quaintness of the characters presented and in the realism of it's reproduction of phases of Vermont life it is truth itself It is without such tinne-worn melodrama&ic elements as a deep-dyed villain, a persecuted her oine, an old will and murder and, peculiar fact, it is constructed out of a popular song. The story it tells is of everyday people in a New Eng land hill town with the sentiment and homely humor sbounding in this com n1unity
