IT 10 clearly evident, therefore, that
the manufacture and sale of intoxi-
cants in any part of the State liz n
matter of concern to every other part
of the State, and there liz nothing OPP
pressive or tyrannica1 in the passage
of a Statewide law abating forever
the greatest public nuisance the world
has ever known; namely, the licensed
saloon.
The statement that is il an infringe
mert upon the personal liberty OF the
individual to prohibit the sale OF In
toxicants is rapidly giving away before
the spread of the doctrine of the right
of the government to do anything that
will be for the upbuilding of the in
dividual, and to forbid anything which
is detrimental to the general welfare,
which means simply the welfare of a
multitude of individuals.
Perhaps there has been no more
striking illustration of this principle Of
the nter-reiationship of various COM
n,unities than the recent sweeping
orders issued by the United States
government forbidding the use of the
common drinking cup on all railroad
trains and in all railroad stations used
in Interstate commerce. 1t does not
matter what may be the opinion of the
majority of the people of Roanoke, or
OF Richmond, or indeed OF the State
