One fine thing about this immiga-

many Of us that there are two ms"

emigration.

from interfering with what their
fellow men have declared by legal
processes of the law. Years ago
many believed in high license as the
means of handling the liquor ques-
ton We ridiculed those who called
for prohibition because we believed
it was impractical. AS we were con-
fronted with this question at every
turn in the political world, and were
not able to treat with it, or trust it
with a compromise and were unable
to restrain it, we finally arrived at
the conclusion that the only way
to handle it was to wipe it out en-
tirely and so we put the prohibition
law on the statute books. Those who
now oppose this law cry out against
it because their personal liberty has
been restrained, just as if personal
liberty isn't restrained every hour of
the day.

whether there is restriction of per-

to meet an impelling necessity thrust
upon us by civilization.
