whe ma minority attempts to or sue
ceeds in abridglng or denying the per-
sonal freedom of the majority. Such a
state of affairs is old world autocracy
and repudiates~ great American
principle of judicious majority rule.
Yet the agitation in the hall of Con-
gress for the repression of Personal
Freedom threatens to establish a pre-
cedent in that form of government.
Figures from the last national cleo
ton cast light upon some startling
facts. They revealed the amazing truth
that in the so-called Prohibition states,
that is, the Southern States, only 49,
900 votes are necessary to elect Con-
gresham, while $4,000 votes are re-
quired for similar representation
from the Northern, Western, or social
led wet" states. Thus a represents,
tive from licensed state, speaking for
a constituence of $4,000 voters has his
vote offset by a Prohibitionist repre-
senting only $4,000. >
The inequality of representation
paves the way for minority rule and
raises the question whether or not the
vote of one man is not as good as that
Of another.
The comparison between some Of
the states is pathetically grotesque.
DRY" Mississippi has a national rep
resentation for every 11,Oc0 voters;
wet" Ohio only one for evey $4,000;
dry" South Carolina one for every
10000 voters; and wet" Illinois has
only one representative for every U.s.
600 voters.
Every such measure passed by Con-
gress means another pace forward for
minority rule and intolerance!
