Survivors Stories Not
Strictly Dependable

"A newsman seeking for accurate In
formation invariably d~istrusts what he
terms "the survivors, story" of an
accident. Without delving into the
psychology Of the matter, he knows
by experience that much OF what is
remembered. happened mostly only
in the mind of the narrator. In the
stories that have been told of the
wreck of the Empress Of Ireland, as
In similar stories of other tremendous
catalltrophes, there have been con-
hicting statements, and while the
events were stated with more or less
accuracy in the order Of their occur
renee, no two stories were exactly
alike They ranged all the way from
the account of n man who knew to
the minute when each event of the
wreck occurred to the queer and yet
striking story of one poor individual
who was discovered wandering about,
still dazed, in a Quebec hotel, the day
after the occurrence. This survivors
account is anything but accurate. but
in its very indifference serves, per.
haps, to give the reader d true feeling
of what it is really like to be in a
marine disaster. The interview is tax

any business as to injure others.
This is the basis of all antitrust
laws, all railroad legislation, pure
food laws ect.
In the contention Of the liquor
interest and it's exponents, per-
sonal liberty is made TO do duty
in the interest Of the brewery and
saloon. The Supreme Court has
specifically ruled that to sell IL
Quor is not a personal right.
No doubt there are many things
which wise commonwealth will
delegate to local communities for
regulation, but there is a wide
demarcation between the things
which may and the things which
may not be so delegated. The
State may wisely delegate to To-
cal communities all matters
which are purely local in fact,
and which are right in morals.
The State has no right to del
egate to a county, or a town the
authority to do things which will
injuriously effect other commun-
tiles. One city may not empty
it's sewers into a stream which
must supply another city. Again
the government can not, in sound
principle, delegate to any COM
munity, city, town or county the
right to foster immortality, or to
injure even the smallest minority
in the crmmunity. The Supreme
Court Of the United States de-
clared long ago that govern
ment is founded on morals.
The State has a right to take
charge Of all matters that per
tain to the health or morals of
her citizens. The liquor traffic
is one of these things and it's sup
preston is a legitimate exercise
of the police power of the State.
When the liquor interests use the
expression local self govern
ment" they mean that every man
is a law unto himself on the IL
quor question, and not amendabIe
to the will of the majority of his
fellow citizens. The cry ct
won't prohibit means that the
saloon business is by nature and
practice so laWless that it is both
willing and able to defy the will
of the majority.
We insist upon the good old
doctrine of State sovereignty.
The harmony and strength of
the commonwealth are impaired
by this un-American and uncon-
8titutiOnal contention of local
self-government against the un-
ity and sovereignty of the State.
1t is time for all the people to do
plain duty, and insist that the
sovereignty of the common
wealth be exercised over the
whole State for the common well
fare. 1t is time for US to revert
to the original principle on which
| this government was founded,
and apply them in the interest Of
all the people.
