the action of the Senate on the North
ern bill in relation to bar rooms, says
that Captain Bob Falligant deserves
commendation for getting cities and
corporate towns exempt from the oper
ation of Mr. Northen's bill to enable a
half dozen people in any community to
prevent a man's utilizing his property
as a liqnor establishment if he chooses.
All snch legislation is wrong, because it
teres with and is an infringement
private rights. One of tne first
principles of our government is that
every man shall enjdy equal and im
partial protection in the enjoyment of
his property, provided always of course
that he behaves himself and does not
annoy his neighbors. If a saloon or
grocery becomes - * '* *~

is entitled to carry it on just as legiti
mately as any other business, and if
“ies and corporate towns are not able
w» protect themselves in this matter,
their charters ought to be declared
forfeited. Captain Falligant, in op
posing the provisions of the proposed
law from extending to corporate cities
and towns, placed himself upon hard
constitutional ground, and the Legis
lature did right in recognizing the jus
tice of his position.
