Now those who talk •this way are

erception owilfully and wickedly

Those who oppose the Scott Act
s much detest drunkenness as those
Ito favor the Act.

'But even were liquor sellers ad-

only a very small 'minority. Of the
opponents of the Scat Act. .
The large majority of those who.
%oppose the Scott Act have no pos-

the sale of liquors: . The majority of them do not even

islatien can do it, reducing kiin t�
an irresponsible 'piece of mechauism.
It is held that•other huntan laws
take away man's free will and that
anti Scott people do -not object;
That all concede the right to
punish those guilty of murder,. theft,
bigamy, rape, et., and .that (Blink%
enness, besides causing these,. is of

also. •
This is wheresthe dullness of per-
ception we premised in the second
paragrapli of this article comes in..
We would like to make it. plain
that the genius of our civil.. laWt•;
as well as of the higher law,. is net
to interfere with the fre.e will of
man, but to make laws forthe pro-
tection of life and property and that
sentient aggregation 'called society.
Bet it is not the genius. ef our
law or legislation ter :interfere with
our freedom of will, te break these
laws. •
• We may commit tnurder, ifwe
we will, butthe law is such that if
we do so we shall almost certainly
swing for it.
We may steal, if 'we will, but if
our guilt is proven, seclusion hi

We may,"if we Will, have half a

good looks, personal atidgcnetism or
a "winning way" *with thellfdiee,
but such culpable idiosyncracies will,
if proven, place the offender behlud
iron bars for a term of years. •
• Now mark the difference-betweee
laws•against these crimes' and a law
against the sale of liquors,
The Seott • Act aims to prevent
drunkenness by depriving ..the in!
dividual of the means of getting
drunk; „.
To make the Scott Act analeteus
to a law against murder, We 'ohould
have to defirfVe the
any possible means of committing
We should•have to prohibit the
sale of pistols, knives, axes, rope, ie
fact of nearly everything; the' Scott
Act prohibits the Uke of liquorlest
men may get drunk. , On an an
-
Magnus principle we should prohibit
the sale of all weapons, no matter
how useful or necessary le:st the
buyer commit murder.
To prevent theft there Omuta 128
no rights .c,f ownership in any kind
of movable property, the temptatien
to steal, nay the mere possibility of
stealing should be 'removed kit
those who want and do not own
should steal -become thieves..
Then to continue carrying .out the
principle involved in tht Scott Act -
to make the breaking of the laws or
the committing of crime impossible
by depriving Us of the option Or
epportuninty of doing so -the desire
to multiply our species should be
eradicated, or iv° should but Herod

was asked by one Of WS pupils
whether statements in a text book
about Roman Catholic corruption in
Luther's time Were not false. The
profeosor read from numerous autho-
rities to show that all thestatements
were true. The pupil, who was a
lientan Catholic, reported the mat-
ter to a pada, and the latter tried
to secure the professor's dismissal;
