Tho trial of Waters ct Opelou-
sas for the Kidnapping of tho lit
tie Bobbis Dunbar, reached a
point this week when tho evidence
given by the defense was as strong
as the prosecution. The prosecution
established by strong, direct evil
denoe that Walters was seen near
tho place where the child was ia
ken, and tho child fully identified
as Bobble Dunbar. and tho de-
Tense proved by direct evidence
that Walters was in Mississippi at
the time tho crime was committed
and that the child claimed by the
Dunbars as Bobbie 10 Bruce An.
derson. To reach . verdict the
Jury will have to disbelieve the
witnesses of one side, or the other
which evidence, on both sides, is
corroborated by many responsible
Witnesses.

PAPER BY UDDEN !
ON CYCLONE RAIN
College Professor to Present
His Data Before Scientific
Meeting at Evanston.

Professor Anton Udden, head of the
geology and biology department at
Augustana college, left the city today
to attend the annual meeting of the
state academy of sciences held at
Northwestern university, Evanston.
The meeting is called for today and
will continue all day tomorrow.
AT the session tomorrow Professor
Udden will read a paper on the cy
clonic distribution of rainfall in the
vicinity of the tri-cities. 1t will be re-
called that announcement appeared In
the tri-city press some time ago of the
Investigations which Professor Udden
had been carrying on for several
months cooperating with the weather
departments of Davenport and Chi
cago. The investigations have not as
yet been completed, but upon the earn
est invitation of the state academy of
science Professor Udden consented to
prepare a few preliminary notes on his
work and read them at the meeting to-
morrow. This came as quite a COM
pliment to Professor Udden and was
no doubt brought about by the inter
esting paper which he read at the last
meeting. The subject of this paper
was the earthquake of Jan. 2, 1912, in
the upper Mississippi valley. =

he cannot escape the fact"
Whether the question is q national
one or not, in my judgment there is
q question of far greater moment. That
is whether individual liberty is still
to obtain in America
II may seem remarkable that less
than one hundred and forty years aft
er the Declaration OF Independence and
twelve years less than that time after
the adoption OF the Constitution of the
United States the question / have pro-
pounded should be still open for dis
cussion. Neverth eless. unless / am ut
terly mistaken. there il now strong
tendency in courts. in legislatures and,
worst OF all, in the people themselves
10 disregard the most fundamental
principles of personal rights. Judicial
decisions are made. statutes are enact
cd and doctrines are publicly advCCct-
ed which, when | was young. would
have shocked our people TO the last
degree. In those days liberty was DEEM
ed TO be the right of the citizen to act
and live as he thought best, so long
as his conduct did not invade a like
right on the part of others.
Today. according to the notion OF
many IL not most people. liberty is the
right of part of the people to compel

the other part to do what the first
part thinks the latter ought to do for
It, own benefit. 1t has been said that
the great misfortune of the day is the
mania for regulating all human con-
duct by statute, from responsibility for
which few are exempt. For those who
resent paternalism or socialism legisla-
tive interference with their own af-
fairs is often most persistent in the
attempt to regulate the conduct of
oilers. That there has been of late
years reaction from the faith in in
dividualism, which was almost uni
versal in free countries in the middle
OF the last century, is certain.
The consideration, however. of the
respective merits of individualism or
coliectivism or an inquiry into the
proper limits for the application of the
doctrines of either faith would raise
entirely too many and too broad ques-
lions TO be the subject of discussion in
an address like this, and that discus
sion l shall not essay. though I am
frank TO admit that having been
brought up in the substantially univer-
sally accepted faith in the maxim that

Ing your attention to certain things
which l think might well excite alarm
even in the minds of those whose faith
in the righteousness and efficiency of
state action is the greatest If they
still have some regard for private
rights.
As to the laws which prohibit the
sale of Intoxicating beverages little
need be said, because that subject has
been discussed for years, and all are
familiar with the arguments on each
side of the question, to which cannot
hope to add anything of force. l
shall merely say that great as are the
evils caused by the improper OF excess
sive use of stimulants people who take
wine or liquor in moderation, without
injury, at least, to others, cannot be
expected to surrender their rights so
to do. At any rate, they will not, de-
spite any laws to the contrary that
may be made. The history of such
Legislation in the states where it has
been enacted shows that it has failed
to accomplish its object. The result
is that law habitually disregarded
breeds contempt for law.

cases in which, in my judgment, clear
violations of personal liberty have
been either accomplished or attempt
