Will of Majority

MIR. ait says:
Liberty guaranteed by the consti-
tuition is liberty regulated by law. The
law which regulates liberty is that
which is adopted upon the will of the
majority for the general public bene-
fit. In no community where there is
any neighborhood relation between
one person or another or between one
family and another can there be COM
plete freedom of action. The cave
man is really the only man that ever
enjoyed that kind of liberty, and his
liberty was subject to complete re-
straint by death from a stronger cave
man with large and heavier club.
Liberty regulated by law is that meas
ure of freedom of action which can be
accorded to each person without in
jury to the enjoyment of similar lib
erty by others or to the general well
fare of ALL"
Courts on Liberty .
Speaking of the attitude of the
courts on the question of how far
personal liberty may be reasonably
restrained for the common welfare of
the people, Mr.. Taft says
"They hold that it is not forbid
den restriction of personal liberty, but
it is only the curtailment of complete
freedom of action that is necessary in
the interest of society,""
Ex-President Taft explains that
public sentiment has been crystallized
into constitutional amendment
which is in effect declaration by the
people that the evils of alcoholism are
sufficient to justify limitation of the
individuals right to drink. Speaking
of these evils, he says:
"The political machine Of saloon
keepers and liquor dealers wields,
through the ubiquitous saloon, Vi
cious and pernicious influence upon
voters.
True Principles of Liberty
"This array of the immoral and Vi
cious effects of the free manufacture
and sale of liquor upon the commu-
nifty can leave no doubt that the cur
tailment of personal freedom in ef-
fective Prohibition is small as COM
pared with it's benefit to society. This
settles its conformity to true princi-
Piles of personal liberty"
Mr.. Taft gives no comfort to citi-
zens who feel justified in disobeying
the law because they do not favor it
and even less to law-making officials,
who feel justified in opposing ade-
quatc law enforcement measures on
the ground that they did not favor
the adoption of Prohibition. For such
Mr.. Taft sets forth the following prin-
ciples:
Enforcement Laws Favored
This is democracy. The amend
ment has been adopted, and with all
good citizens l am strongly in favor
of the enactment of the most practi-
cal laws to secure the rigid enforce
ment of the declaration of the amend
ment. This is the duty of every citi-
zen in democracy. A citizen who is
in favor of the enforcement of only
the laws for which he has voted and
in the principle and wisdom of which
he agrees, is not a law-abiding citizen
of a democracy. He has something
of the autocratic spirit. He is willing
to govern, but not to be governed.
He is not willing to play the game
according to the rules of the game"

While they were gone Ozma's fol-
