when her horse slipped and fell,
causing Mrs. Druery's right arm

Can the Saloon be Licensed?
Aii Indiana Judge Decides that
all License Laws are :
Unconstitutional
Central Christian Advocate
One of the most far-reaching decis
ions of this generation and one in which
the friends of temperance have a most
vital concern, was rendered by Judge
Samuel B. Artman, of the district
court, at Lebanon, Ind., Feb. 115, 1907.
By this decision the issuance of any
license to sell liquor is pronounced to be
a violation of constitutional rights and
the common law. It is a decision of
tremendous importance.
The statutes of Indiana provide for
licensing saloons. But in his decision
Judge Artman cites the fact that the
supreme court of Indiana has cecided '
against the constitutionality of lotteries
and prize fighting, since no legislature
can bargain away the public health or
morals, nor can the people themselves
take such action. The United States
j supreme court has decided that there is
no inherent right in a citizen to sell liq
uor at retail. One of the decisions of
the Indiana supreme court is that even
"an orderly saloon in an orderly neigh
borhood may be a nuisance.
The occasion of this decision is inter
esting. Certain residents of Indian
apolis, convinced that a saloon could
not be legally licensed in Indiana, made
up the test case, and entered suit
against an applicant for license at the
hands of the board of county commis
sioners. Judge Artman said the ultimate
question involved was the validity or
invalidity of the license statute. Did
the legislature have authority to enact
.. .. , . . .. x, . .....
cue licence statute; oan mo icgisiu- ,
hire Authorize the licensing, for a con-'
sideration, of the sale of intoxicating ,
liquors, at retail, for beverage pur-
no3CSY it is a question, ne nam,
T . J 1 .1
of
power, and not one of formality.
The police power of a state, Judge
Artman said, is the power to enforce
the right and prohibit the wrong. It is
the power to enforce the chief end of
oryanized irovernment, which is the
nerservation and development of the
1 . , ,, I

morals and welfare of the people.
The supreme court of Indiana has de

order to promote tlio health, safety, !
comfort, morals and welfare of the .
public. The right to exercise this pow- i
er is said to be inherent in tho people
in every free government. It is not
a grant derived from or under any
written constitution."
Commenting on this, Judge Artman
said self-protection is the chief end of
organized government, and there is
inherent in every free gtvernment,
without regard to the letter of the
written constitution, tho power to pro
mote the health, safety, comfort, mor
als and welfare of the people. What
is wrong can not be lawful and what
ever is right is legitimate and lawful.
The quintessence of various holdings is
that, when measured by the common
law, the saloon business is unlawful,
and, therefore, without a legal exis
tence. In other words, in the absence
of a statute legalizing the saloon busi
ness, common-law prohibition prevails.
It i3 the settled law of the land that any
occupation that naturally and inherent
ly endangers the health, peace, safety,
morals and welfare of tho people is un
lawful and a public nuisance.
It is notable that there has boon no
appeal from Judge Aatman's decision.
The remonstrants themselves are plann
ing a case that can be carried up to
the state and national supreme courts.
This decision is logical. The state
has no right for a consideration to
legislate away the health Or the morals
or the safety of its citizens. Because
I this is eo, the state has no right to
! legislate in favor of
the saloon, no
1 matter on whtit consideration, when the
hicrhest authorities have iriven a final
decision that the saloon is a menace to
the health, the morals and the safety
of society.
The Methodist church declares that
thp liquor traflic cannot be licensed
without sin. A judge of the courts
hus decided that the liquor traffic cannot
constitutionally be licensed at till.
