Candler, city Alderman and ex-judge of the Supreme Court, on Thursday gave a lucid Interview to The Georgian on the rights of the State as opposed to the rights of In dividuals. It was given as a result of the out cry against infringement on personal liberties in the police anti-kissing crusade. Alderman Candler explained that the very basis of our State and Fed eral Constitutions was individual lights. He said that a lack of per sonal liberties and rights brought on the Revolutionary War, and that our colonial forebears believed In those principles of government as intensely as they believed in God. “But times have changed since those days," he said. “We confront conditions our forefathers never dreamed of. And in this great change individual privileges have perished in the interest of the rights of the ma jority. Revenue Laws an Examnle. "What would the gentlemen of the old school have thought if they had been prevented from taking their ap ples and peaches to the neighborhood distillery and having them made into brandy? “When Toombs and the other dis tinguished Georgians drafted our present Constitution in 1877 they never dreamed of the State giving children anything more than a com mon school education. "We have many laws to-day which if enforced 100 years ago would have caused a second revolution. Think of our great railroad systems. To-day they are run by the labor unions and the Government. The individuals who own them have little to say in their management. "Individuals’ rights as to morals has changed from a basic national princi ple of government to a local Issue. Issue Up to the People. ‘While 50 years ago the Interfer ence of the police with a woman for wearing a hoop skirt would have caused a riot, to-day it is not unusual for the police to arrest a woman on account of extreme dress. “Different sections differ in their regulation of morals. We don’t have the same attitude to many things in Atlanta that the people in New York have. We enforce certain laws in Atlanta that are not enforced in Sa vannah. Yet the same general prin cipal holds true—the rights of the Individual are curbed in the interest of the whole community. "The police have now decreed that there shall be no public kissing or spooning in Atlanta. I rather think they are right. But all such issues as that, I think, finally are up to the people to decide. In the end the will of the majority will prevail. “Undoubtedly there are abuses of the laws affecting individual rights. Officers sometimes go too far. You rarely hear complaints against sheriffs; they are directly responsible to the people, and are more con siderate. "But officers of the general gov ernment and city police have no di rect responsibility to the people, and, therefore, sometimes go to extremes in enforcing the law. “I have no doubt that the enforce ment of the Mann act in the Diggs- Camlnettl case is not accomplishing what Mr. Mann intended it to. "The sacrifice of individual rights at the demand of the majority has been for the public good. We never could have made the progress we have ob the old principle that the individual was the biggest thing in the Government. We take the view- to-day that the Government owns all, controls all. “It a man went into a foreign country years ago he took his chances on his own responsibility. But wher ever one may wander on the earth to-day the strong arm of the United States is there to protect him. We all know we have the greatest coun try on earth.” What do you think of a wom an who forgot her wedding day, forgot her husband, forgot she was getting a divorce, then met her husband in the street and rushett up and kissed him?
