Is and SIS, one Mr. Justice Perkins, with the con-
currence of Mr. Justice DAWSON IN Beebe versus
State 18th Ind. SOD, held that the state had no
right to prohibit the manufacture and sale of Ii
quors by private individuals, in contemplation of
its creating and maintaining a monopoly in such
business for itself, but the present law does not
contemplate the state entering the liquor business.
That is one difference.
Moreover, the learned jurist who seems to
have had very noticeable sense of humor, In ad-
dition to being considerably saturated with the
democracy of Plato, limited pretty strongly
against the power of the legislature prohibit the
manufacture and sale of liquor at ALL presuming
it to be an "unalienable right inherent IN the in
dividual, IN his ''pursuit of happness" and,
doubt, the happiness" of his consuming patrons
as well.
He holds that everything is inherent in the in
dividual-the right to rape, murder, steal com
NIT burglary, though he does not say it,-Until
that right is expressly taken from him by law, and
then he proceeds to defy the right of the peoples
law-making power to take it from them.
The reasoning of Mr.. Justice Perkins was of
the same unbalanced, and badly strained type, in
