LIMIT OF PERSONAL LIBERTY
Person is Free Moral Agent Where
Exercise Of Privilege Does Not
Conflict With Laws.

tBy G. ". HASKELL, Former Governor
OF oklahoma)
The liquorites. in pleading for
right TO carry on the liquor business.
say that the person is a free moral
agent" and such privilege is guaran-
teed by the constitution OF our land.
Yes, ] grant II, when the exercise OF
that privilege is not in conflict with
the public welfare.
Two adult citizens possessed OF
money are not permitted to take a
deck OF cards. engage in a gambling
game with their own money. their own
cards and their own time. Why? Be
cause the law has decreed that II Is
destructive to the moral tone of the
community.
Two young men engage In a prize
fight. 1t is their own fists they are
using: they are both OF age, but the
law has decided that the welfare OF
the community cries out against brutal
sport.
We have gone farther. and have
said that open selling Of poisonous
drugs shall be prohibited by law. We
say that a citizen may not purchase
a bottle OF carbolic acid and drink 1t;
We deny him that privilege. Why?
II he ia bound to kill himself he might
carbolic acid as In Ave years with
whisky. in fact, ] favor the carbolic
acid route.
We have laws that say that certain
kinfolk shall not marry. Think Of In
vading this privilege Of the citizen!
For the welfare of the public the
law has gone farther. II has entered
your home. II has taken the control
of the minor child away from It's
father. and has said, You must edu-
cate him" II prescribes compulsory
education of the children that belong
to the father, are under his roof for
support. and under his control In their
infancy.
In nearly every state In the United
States the law takes from the father
and the mother the right to control
the labor of children and provides .
code of laws which shall regulate child
labor.
Do you people who are In doubt as
to whether prohibition Is an interior
ence with private rights realize how
extensively you have already invaded
the private rights in the interest Of
the public welfare? And yet, there Is
one great evif-the liquor traffic
which remains. In localities 1t Is in
subsection. But that is not enough;
It must be conquered.

MAMMOTH TRUST IN WHISKY
Principle Upon Which Saloon 10 Built
Is to Secure New Recruits
Levies Immense Toll.

The most dangerous principle upon
which the saloon is built is this. 1t
is not fashioned to supply the de-
mands OF men whose passion for
liquor has been developed. but, with
the cunning which only the lust for
money can inspire, 1t is fashioned to
teach a new generation to drink The
saloon system is the recruiting sta
ton of the whisky trust and brewery
combine. Under the law of life, the
men already enlisted in the army OF
drink will be dead within the limit of
twenty years. The slogan OF the sa-
loon is. New recruits! New re-
cruits!" AS a hundred thousand men
drop out of the ranks. a hundred
thousand new recruits are made.
Never a MANNED and bruised and dy-
ing man falls out OF the ranks, that
the saloon is not ready with a new
recruit. and from this vast ever-in-
creasing army. the masters OF the
liquor interests are yearly drawing a
thousand million dollars In toll.-Hon.
Seaborn Wright of Georgia.

Surgery and Crime

Surgical treatment to turn a con-
firmed criminal into a useful citizen
received bad setback In case where
great apparent change after such
an operation led to the pardon of the
remade man. His release was fol-
lowed by a series of burglaries which
necessitated his return to durance
vile. Perhaps one of the reforms to
come will be the better protection OF
society from theory and experiment
connected with the criminal classes.
So far. the experiments made to prove
that morality is merely a matter OF
physiology have not been brilliantly
American.

GARCIA SAYS |S
 SLEEP WALKER
Slayer of Policeman Charles Harris Has New Tale in Explaining His Presence at Scene of Das- tardly Murder

In the six days that Francisco Garcia has been prisoner in the county jail. accused of being the murderer of Charles Harris. Arizona Eastern specfa, policeman, the Mexican had told at least four different versions of his con- nection with the affair His latest is the most unique.
 Now Garcia is d sleep walker At least that is what he is now cIaimin;. and 1t was While he was walking in his sleep that he was attacked from behind by some person unknown to him, but probably Harris, he says and shot through the thigh
 Such story might go under some circumstances were it not for the fact that Ygnacia Martinez, arrested in Glendale the next day after the mur- der on suspician of being an accomplice of Garcia has already told enough to connect both men and another, not yet arrested with the actual killing
 According to Garcia he had been asleep somewhere near the tracks He did not remember of awakening until he felt the tWinge of a bullet in his leg and caught himself falling. His first thought was that he was being held up and then he attempted to drag himself away from his assailants. He does not attempt 10 explain the pres ence of his knife in the vicinity or the fact that it was bloody, denying that 1t belonged to him.
 The work of the sheriff's office is go- ing along quietly and with success. and it is freely predicted that when the case is finally brought to trial it will be pretty near possible to present such q
 
 affair that il will be quite as vivid and real IS though given by an actual eye witness. The next important develop ment il is expected will be the arrest of a third party said to have been i'm plicated in the holding up of William ConnolIey and the subsequent killing of Harris.

Famous Cup Contestant to Try Risky Experiment ill Using Amateur Skipper in the Coming Yacht Competitions
ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCH l

NEW YORK. July 13.-Sir Thoma. LiptOn's choice of the amateur yachts
 man, William P Burton. to command
 and pilot his fourth Shamrock in tho l 1914 races for the America's cup l probably will be regarded by many l |achtsmen as daring and risky in noVation. In all previous races for | the historic trophy, the competine yachts have been handled by pro fessional shippers, and it is generally assumed that q professional yachts
 man must know more about the game
 than an amateur
 It is not generally realized here.
 however, that far more opportunities are al the disposal of the English
 amateur yachtsman to obtain practice
 than exist for his American proto-
 type. however keen and enthusiastic he may be. Because of the great distances between important ports along the Atlantic coast yachtsnan has opportunities to participate in the races of but a few clubs
 In England, where distances be tween yachting centers are so much shorter, dates are 50 arranged that yacht. by visiting various ports in succession, may engage in as many as three score or more races in the course of season. That is probably thrice as many as d New York or Boston yacht has chance to take part in If not satisfied with the abundance of racing he gets in home waters, the British yachtsmen also can engage in some of the races or sanized by continental clubs.
 MT. Burton began his yacht racins career in 1888. He always elected to sail his own boat and for some years contented himself with small boats but for the last fifteen or sixteen years he has owned and raced larger craft. Altogether he has sailed in about thousand races It is safe to say that there are few if any professional American yachting skip pers who have had anything like So extended an experience in yacht rae ing.
 By the best English judges he is regarded as the cleverest helmsman. either amateur or professional. in English waters. He has repeate,lIv raced his yachts against those saiIed by the most famous English profes- 'lonals and has beaten them.
