REV. WATSON ON
PUBLIC SENTIMENT
A Law to Be Enforced Must Have
Substantial Backing.
THE ODDS AGAINST SOME LAWS

Rev. w. A. WATSON in Pearson's
Magazine:--"Law enforcement is, in
the long run, dependant on public
sentiment. Moreover, public senti-
ment, in order to make itself felt
must be active, alert and persistent
A mere vague wish that the law be
enforced is not enough. The wish
must be followed up by we'll organ
lied effort. When you find a COM
nunity in which the government is
:ing-ridden and corrupt, it does not
mean that the public sentimsn: is IN
favor of such conditions. 1t means
that public sentiment is impotent be-
cause it is either inactive or uncrgan-
lied. Thus it occurs that small mi
nori,ies can defy, are today denying
the will of the majorities.
"Just how much Of this active and
determined public sentiment is re-
CURED to insure strict law enforce
ment depends largely on the charac-
ter of the law. A stringent, harsh.
sumptuary law, like prohibition, could
not be enforced unless it had on Its
side an almost unanimous public SEN
timent, vigiiant and we'll organized.
Such a law has all the odds against it.
1t has an uphill job from the outset.
Public officials are, as rule, far
more inclined to heed and yield to
the voice of protest against the en-
forcement of law in obedience to
the demand of the other side. Under
statewide prohibition there are many
communities where the majority SEN
timent is strongly opposed to enforce
ment, and even advocates OF prohlbl-
tory laws admit that, in such COM
munities, the law becomes a mere
farce"

The PEOPLE OUGHT TO RULE,

Exchange:-John NJ. Harlan, late
justice Of the United States supreme
court, who was a deep student of po-
litical economy, at gathering short
ly before his death made this terse
remark:
There is but one profound wisdom
upon earth and that is lodged in the
consensus of opinion of the whole
people when expressed by free and
secret ballot, and when applied to the
conduct Of public affairs it is wiser
than the judgment of any man or set
of men, however learned or expert
ensed."
The great jurist was an ardent ex-
ponent of the right of "the rule of
the people" and he was a firm be-
lever that the way to create a really
democratic form Of government was
by the ballot.
More and more is this method be-
ing looked upon as the only right and
permanent way in which to solve
questions of any public moment. Not
only are state questions or those of
wide import being solved by the voice
of the voter, but counties and munic-
qualities are leaving matters of minor
Importance to the voice of the people
as expressed in the voting booth. As
an evidence of this trend of public
feeling it might be noted that in sew
eral small towns in Iowa just recent
ly the question as to whether billiard
and pool halls should operate was
left to the people and they expressed
their choice by ballot. When ques-
tons of moral import like this arise
in any town the best way is to let
public sentiment rule. In this way
and in this way only can any stat
utes, ordinance or mandate be en-
forced.

Chicago Inter-O cean:-The domi-
nant trait of the typical present day
reformer is his sublime confidence in
what may be called mass effects" in
organization, agitation and legisla-
ton which assumes that great num-
bers of people may be rounded up,
as it were, and led or, driven along
the way wherein they should walk.
How much better this world would
below the averages of decency
would be increased and the planes of
social motion uplifted-if every man
who saw somewhere among his
neighbors an evil that demanded
reformation would, before denouncing
it and them, make entirely sure that
he had urged that evil completely
from his own heart and conduct. 4
There is only one place where the
reform of the various social evils
with which we are so much rightly
concerned can really begin. That il
at home in the most intimate sense
of the word. That is in the individual
human heart and soul and in individ-
ual conduct.

WOMAN SUFFRAGE AS AIN ISSUE

Exchange:-Woman suffrage owes
it's defeat to the Anti-Saloon League.
which made of it a "wet" and dry"
issue and thus alienated from it the
sympathy of the liberal forces of the
various states, which stands sternly
opposed to prohibition, no matter
what guise it may masquerade in.
In Wisconsin the opposition ap-
pears to have been due TO combina-
ton of racial, religious and other
prejudices.
Michigan, by the way, appears to
have defeated woman suffrage, but
an analysis of the vote shows that
nearly all the dry counties voted
against it, while most of the wet
counties voted in favor of it. Incl
dentally we may say that the large
vote cast by the women of Colorado
against prohibition and by the women
of San Francisco and Los Angeles in
favor of the continuance of the IL
cense policy indicates that the women
can be trusted to use good judgment
on such issues, when they are dis
cussed fairly upon their merits.

CONJUCAL !, L I i / Is; SELFiSHNESS?

Dubuque Telegraph Herald:-"A
Des Moines paper hearing that Polk
county woman is trying to obtain q
divorce on the ground that her hus.
band has tuberculosis, comments:
"Oh, the unfathomability of certain
types Of conjugal love"
Very likely if the husband were
victim of alcoholism there would be
no such comment, and it would be re-
marked that she did we'll to seek to
be rid Of him.
The difference is all in the point Of
view-tuberculosis is accepted to be
a disease by the laity, while alcohol
ism is not.
And while everybody holds it to be
the duty of wife who has taken a
husband "for better or for worse" to
attend him in his sickness, by no
means everybody considers this to be
her duty in the case of the drinking
man.
And yet, as everybody knows, the
unfortunate who drinks, abandoned
of his wife with nothing to live for.
has no rudder in wind-swept sea.
and goes on the rocks, whereas if his
wife chung to him one day her faith
and prayers and his strivings would
redeem him and the happiness which
should follow would be compensation
for the years of grief.
The world lends eager ear to the
sweet story Of loves unselfshness,
but too frequently in approaching So
luton of commonest problems selfish
ness stiles love and there is refusal
to make sacrifice.
