intoning their evening prayer to Al

rebuke to us, a weird mystery to the
shenzi, whose voices were always low

and who sat contemplating them in
wild-eyed wonder to the end of each
prayer, awed, almost silent as were

CLARENCE DARROW ON
PERSONAL LIBERTY
v Hon. Clarence Darrow of Chicago,
spoke at the Auditorium last Sunday
afternoon, speaking largely on "person
al liberty" and endeavoring to advance
logical arguments why Lincoln should
not longer continue the policy of no
saloons. The Auditorium was filled,
for the fame of Clarence Darrow has
gone abroad through the land. His
ability as a lawyer, his strong ad
vocacy of organization of labor, his so
cialistic views, and his masterly de
fense of Moyer and Haywood in the
Stenunenberg case all served to adver
tise him, and the people were eager
to greet him some for the purpose of
listening and being convinced if he
could do it; others for another rea
son neither complimentary to them or
courteous to a visitor within the
gates. . .

slon to denounce with all Its power the
discourteous even disgraceful treat
ment accorded to this learned gentle
men by men and women who either
should know better, or not knowing
better should be carefully guarded.
The Wageworker Is not in sympathy
with Mr. Darrow's views on personal
liberty, nor with his views on religion
or materialism, but in its humble
judgment Mr. Darrow cut a much bet
ter figure than did those who showed
not only their disapproval but their
lack of good breeding and sense of
American fair play by constant inter
ruptions, hisses and interrogations. It
1 a Ufirif aqbv trk Imnvtna what oomn rtf
our prohibition friends would have
aid had some of the pro-ponents of
license treated Rev. Mr. Stelzle as
some of the prohibitionists treated Mr.
Darrow.
The Wageworker is free to say that
if it were possible to muzzle about a
hundred fanatical prohibitionists and
an equal number of drunken shouters
for "personal liberty," It would be
easier to reach a rational solution of
a' very vexing problem.
Mr. Darrow frankly confessed that
he did not know whether Lincoln
would prosper best under a "wet" or
a "dry" policy, and furthermore ad
mitted that he didn't care. He did be
lieve, however, that personal liberty
was to be considered above dollars
ana cents, ana declared mat he had
a perfect right to drink a glass of beer
if he so desired, smilingly adding that
it "tasted good all the way down." He
was not at all complimentary to the
women, but this may have been due to
the "nagging" that was persisted in
by some over-zealous women in the
audience. He feared that if liquor
were prohibited the prohibitionists
would follow up the lead until they
had prohibited about everything that
goes to make life pleasant. Material
pleasure seemed to be the chief source
of Mr. Darrow's concern, and his
frankly admitted materialistic utter
ances shocked hundreds, even thou
sands, in the audience.
"Human liberty is not safe In the
hands of such people," declared Mr.
Darrow, meaning, of course, those who
would prohibit the sale of intoxicants.
He favored giving them an island all
to themselves where they 'could have
just such a government as they want
ed, without infringing upon the rights
of others. .
"I don't care anything about taxa
tion any more than I do about the ef
fect on business in Lincoln, whether
or not the . city has saloons," an
nounced Darrow. "These things don't
appeal to me. Statistics are not
worth anything. Each side could get
barrels of them. I will bring no fig
ures to prove what I say. The ques
tion is whether or not prohibition is
right.. I wouldn't pass a law to make
these people drink a pint of whisky
every day, nor will I let them pass
one to keep me from drinking a pint
of beer every day, if I can help it It
may be you want such a law here and
you may have . it if you want it. ; I
don't live here."
The reason why prohibition talk
strikes-the average audience, said the
Chicago man, is that it appeals to sen
timent and passion, not to reason or
judgment. He wouldn't know how to
get up any enthusiasm over beer un
less it should happen to be a hot day.
At this point, Darrow let slip a state
ment which drew hisses from a large
section of the audience. It was that
"women are long on passion, prejudice
and feeling and mighty short on rea
son, judgment and common sense."
This statemet brought a storm of
hisses from a number of the women,
and Mr. Darrow neatly emphasized the
point by cooling remarking:
4 "I submit that you yourselves are
proving the truth of my statement."
In the opinion of many this was
really the neatest point Mr. Darrow
made during the afternoon.
"Nobody has the right to tell me
what I shall eat or drink," Darrow
continued, after this interruption.
"How would you iprohibitionists like
it if you were compelled to drink a
pint of beer? Why, you would not
only lose your life, but also your im
mortal soul. I think man. should look
after his body and in the next world
his soul will take care of itself. The
prohibitionist believes that there
should be laws compelling a man to
live in this world so that his soul
would be safe in the next. Phillip of
Spain was a good king who knew what
the Lord wanted. He fixed up the
people's religion for them, and then,
if they dldn believe it, he killed
them. We're getting into the soul
business. I supposed we were out of
that in this country, but it seems we're
coming back to the middle ages and
such things as witchcraft in New Eng
land and the wars between protestants
and Catholics, Christians and Moham
medans. In Lincoln, after awhile,, you
won't have any bodies. You'll have
nothing but souls." . . ,
Mr. Darrow undertook to prove that
the people who were fighting the
whisky traffic did not have any time
to spend in securing safety appliance
laws, sanitary laws, ' laws preventing
child labor, etc. "If a switchman
leaves his work and r.uns across to
get a glass of beer, and on his way
back stumbles and falls to his death
under the car wheels, immediately the
prohibitionists hail it as another death
due to the traffic," said Mr. Darrow.
"But they pay no attention to the
death of hundreds of other switchmen,
trainmen, and building mechanics who
are annually slaughtered on the altar
of the modern Mooch of' industrial
ism." Perhaps Mr. Darrow meant to
refer solely to the Tabid and too often
fanatical prohibitionists.; If he meant
to refer to the whole body of those
who oppose his definition of personal
liberty it would seem high time that
he studied to' ascertain the real facts.
Without doubt Mr. Dai-row made as
forceful a presentation of the "person
al liberty" side of the case as could
have been made. He had no interest
in the moral phase of the question,
didn't care a rap about the financial
aspect thereof he spoke only is a
defender of "personal liberty" as de
fined by himself and those whom he
represented as advocate.
Sunday evening Mr. Darrow spoke
at Havelock, addressing an audience
that filled Union Hall. His Havelock
speech was a repetition of the Lincoln
address, and the meeting was free
from many of the discourteous acts
that marred the Lincoln meeting.

Virtue of the Playground.
Children are better in playgrounds
than in prison. It Is better' for the
community to have children exercis
ing on ladders and horizontal bars and
swingB than to have , them haunting
the doors of poolrooms or smoking
cigarettes in the hidden shadows. Chil
dren with plenty of playground have
a better chance with life than chil
dren without And most children are
without unless the community pro
vides them. It is cheaper to amuse
them than, to arrest It is cheaper
to develop than tp dwarf: It is cheap
er to save than to sink them. Salt
