1t Is undoubtedly true that 1t Is the
right of every citizen of the United
States to pursue any lawful trade or
business. under such restrictions as
are imposed upon all persons OF the
same age. sex or condition.
2. In the case of the state of Kan

Reports 623-662: I'VE cannot shut
out of view the fact within the knowE
edge of all that the public health. the

there is no gold in the mine, because
the United States must protect its cit
