Against State Intervention

A werter in the Westminster Review

for N oveuiber remarks that Acts of Parlia- ment often produce results wholly different m those anticipated, the actions and re-

fro ylicated to be foretold,

actions being too com} He argues that that life is best which is best adjusted to environment. ‘Perfect life is,

perfect environment, while a sufticiently serivus failure in adjustment to environment constitutes death.” ‘‘State action,” he continues, * takes away, 48 re- gards the affairs it regulates, the choice of a suitable environment; it imposes an en- yironment from which there is no escape, and some sort of an adjustment has to be made bya change in the individuality. Thus does State action, by preventing the choice of environment, limit the means of ad just- ment, csuse imperfect correspondence and consequently imperfect life, a life of fric- tion, aud the suppression of that individual- ity which is characteristic of progress. Vol- untary action, on the other hand, has the opposite effect; here is no coercion, Bo sup- preasion of individuality, and the choice of environment being freer, the adjustment is more complete, the life is smother and better. And, after all, perfect adjustment to enviroment is the one thing needful—is perfect life—for the community as for the individual, for the life of a community is good precisely as the lives of its members are good. How then would voluntary ac- tion work / One or more members find something wrong, out of adjustment, and forthwith endeavor to adjust it; only those who feel the wrong take part in the effort to set it right, no one’s individuality is forced, and life is unconsciously incomplete till the adjustment to environment is mace, A developed individuality is far more de- sirous of improving life in this way than one that is, so to speak, stereotyped; vol- untary social activities are far greater among the civilizsd than among the sav- ages; and for this reason they are far more flexible, far easier in making adjustments. But State action stiffens, stereotypes indi- viduality, treats all individualities alike, and by graudmotherly legislativn fossil- ises, atrophies whole organs of social activ- ity, tells peuple their poor are looked after, their children educated, all sorts of things regulated, and all they have to do—some of them—is to pay; and so healthy exercise is stopped, stiffness sets in, flexibility is not encouraged, power of adjustment is lessen- ed, and life rendered more costly at the same ‘ime that it is rendered less complete. Thus does it seem clear that extensive re- gulation of affairs by the State is detri- mental to a cowplex community. Not only are the effects produced by State ac- tion upon people of marked individuality so various and so far-reaching that it is im- possible to foretell the effect any act of the State will produce, but it stifles that indi- vidvality which; is both cause and conse- quence of progress, it deprives the individ- ual of the choice of his environment, and consequently increases both the cost and the imperfection of that adjustment to en- vironment which constitutes lifs, and thur, hindering the development of the individ. ual, it hinders the development of the com- munity. ‘The development of individual- ity, on the other hand, would vastly ex-

he says,

tend the range of social activities in thoce |

directions where the adjustment to envir- onment was felt to be least complete. The flexibility of the individual being greater, and the choice of environment being freer, the adjustment to environment would be less costly and more complete; and as life is complete in proportion to the closeness of its correspondence to its environment, we arrive at the conclusion that progress will be best made, life will most nearly ap- proach to completeness, by the cessation of State coercion and the free play of the vol untary activities appropriste to a develop- ed individuality.”

This conclusion is supported by consider- ations of many different kinds. ‘* Whether we consider the individual or the commun- ity,—whether we look for physical well- being or mental and moral progress, we ean assert with an emphasis in which it is seldom wise to indulge that all lines of argument combine to prove that for a complex society progress is greatest where State action has given way to the largest extent to the voluntary activity of individ- uals. But such confident assertion is not made in reference to any given community at any given time. It is all a question of relation and degree. But what does secm clear is that the range of State action should be lessened rather than increased in a civilized nation that desires healthy de- velopment.”

Kiyesrox, Nov. 22.—While service was in progress in one of the churches at Post Jast Sunday, a young woman walked to the pulpit and requested the astonished

reacher to marry her, Several timss she loudly reiterated her demand that the nup- tial kaot be tied at once. It then dawned upon the congregaticn thet her intellect was unbalanced. ————

The Chappelle-Warren Case.

INVESTIGATION BEFORE THE STIPENDIARY MAGISTRATE—THE EVIDENCE.

Tue investigation into the charge pre- ferred against police officer Joseph Warren, rethe arrest of the colored man Clarke on the 14th Sept. last, was begun before His Honor the Stipendiary Magistrate this forenoon. J.T. Mellish appeared for the prosecution and Arthur Peters for the de- fence.

Mr. Cuarrecce was the first witness ex- amined, He testified that he was an eye witness to the arrest of Clarke by Warren, and saw what occurred. C arke was some- what under the influence of liquor, but he did not consider him a fit subject for arrest Warren treated him cruelly, tripping him and causing him to fall heavily to the store pavement, causing the blood to flow free- ly. F De. Kexty said that Clarke called at his office on the evening of the I4th Sopt. He was sufferirg frm & 1upture and swollen shoulder, which he said were the reeu!ts of injuries received at the hands of officer Warren. The injuries to Clarke's shoulder might hive been caused by a fall ora blow. Don’tknow whether the rup- ture wasrecent or not. Have heard since that it was an old one.

Isaac Murtey was next called. Had been told that Clarke was iilused while be- iny arrested by officer Warren on the 14th September, §ind called him the follow- ing day to see to what extent he was in- jured. All the injuries he noticed about Clark was a slight abrasion over the right eye. Clarke told witness h> was not feeling too bad.

Joun Giitrs saw Warren arrest Clarke. Clarke was not for going with the officer, and was swinging his hands. Warren pushed him along for sometime and then threw him down in order to handcuff him. He did not think from what he saw that the officer could have arrested Clarke with- out ironing him or receiving assistance,

Perer Dove was at J. B. Macdonald's when he first saw the man. He was qu te drunk. In front of Beer Brea. his hat fell off and when he went to pick it up he fell dowr. After Warren arrested him he saw Clark stop, turn round and say something but could not hear what it was. Then Warren threw him down; thought it was a pretty heavy fall, He appeared to witness to have made reeistance to the officer.

Wa Epmunps said he saw Clarke and he was under the influence of liquor. He saw Officer Warren take hold ot him and he started along with him some few paces. The cfficer was shoving the man along partly behind him. Then Clarke began to resist and turn round. Warren went to put him down to handcuff him, and he ap- peared to slip out of Warren's hands and fell quickly tothe platform. The cfficer put his kaee on the prisoner's back, put the handcuffs on and took him up to the sta- tion. Clarke was struggling. He saw no cut on the man’s tace.

Fixtuay McDonatp saw Clarke in front of Baer Bros.’, sitting down drunk. He got up and walked up the street. He saw Warren take hold of him. He thought he knocked him down backwards and put the handcuffs on. Clarke was acisy before his arrest.

Wa. Harver said he saw Ciarke in front of Beer Bros. He was singing. Witness went up to Dodd’s corner and saw cflicer Warren going down. Shortly after the of- ficer returned with Clark, who appeared to nave alot of blood on his face. When witness saw hin: he was not resisting, but he did not see the arrest made,

Jas Ornmanp saw Clarke coming up near Beer & Gvcff's. He was drunk. Near Dodd & Rogers’ he saw Warren arrest him. The geflicer caught and threw him down, put one knee on his neck and the other on his loin. He bled freely from the mouth and nose.

Gro. J. Rogers said he saw Warren coming up the street with Clarke. ——— Carter's he was walking beside him. Witness looked in the store for a moment and when he looked back Clarke was on the pavement. He after. wards saw him going away with the officer. His face was all over blood, but he did not see acut. There was blood on the pavement, about the quantity that would come from a man’s nose bleeding freely.

James Mason was in front of McLeod's boot store and saw Clarke coming up the street cursing, svea*ing and taking up the whole sidewa k. He saw Warren taking him by the arm and Clarke turned round and didn’t want to go. Then Warres took him by the back of the neck and they both fell down. Then the officer put his knee oa his back and put the cuffs on him. There was blood on his face apparently coming ftom his nose, but there was no cut on his face. Warren took him off as easily as he could because he was resisting.

T. C. James, je., was in Dodd's store and came out in time to see Warren with the map down. He was partly on his right side, with his hands under him. He got the handcuffs, put them on and took the prisoner away. Could see no cut, but his face was covered with blood.

Danret McLeop said he saw Clark on the morning of the arrest, end he appeared pretty jolly. He dropped some cents, and in picking them up fell down. He was annoying us in Beer Bros shop and Mr. Sentner tele phoned for the police. Warren came down, arrested him and walked up the street apace with him; then trippedjhim, Witness cou!d not say whether or not there was any cause for throwing down the prisioner.

Adjourned until 2.30.

General Telegraphic News.

Seattte, Nov. 22.—There ia no im-

provement iu the flood situation in Puget sound Basin. Heavy rains continue and it is feared the worst is yet to coms. There is still an almost complete blockade of rail- road communication. The damage to rail- roacs and farms thus aggregates $300,000. The rivers to the southward of Snohomish are vast lakes. The Stuck Valley, as far as the eye can see, is a sheet of water, on which logs, wrecked buildings, railruad ties, uprooted trees, and other debris are jammed in inJiscribable confusion. Sev- eral more land slides are reported. Lonpon, Nov. 22.—The marked success of the address delivered before the Shef- field Chamber of Commerce by Alexander McNeill, M. P., Canada, in favor of pref- erential trade between the mother country and the Dominion, has led to urgent re- uests being made to Mr. McNeill by Col. oward Vincent and other friends, to de- liver further addresses before returning to Canada. Mr. McNeill responded to one of hese invitations and addressed an import- ant meeting of ‘he Lancashire and Cheshire conservative delegates in Manchester. The subject was ‘* The Commercial Union of the Empire.’ Mr. McNeill spoke elo- quently in favor of the policy and his views wers warmly and unanimously en- dorsed by those present. The gathering WAS a great success.

Gururir, O. T., Nov. 22.—A number of Christian scientists have been holding meetings near Hennessy for some time. A few nights ago one of the leaders told those present that if they had faith they could go vut and pick up a rattlesnake and the rep- tile could not bite them.

The next day a recent convert named Southers saw a rattlesnake, and, thinking to test the matter, picked it up. The ani- mal fastened its fangs in his arm, but he refused to have medical altendance and has aince died, despite the many long prayers ot his fellow belivers in faith.

Iir’es A FACT.

“The Half Was Never Told.” The half that was told was

——(x)--_-_ | NE HALF WAS, BUT THE OTHER WASN’?, about the repairs you bring to the shop, The half that wasn’t told is about the | repairing of things you cannot bring. Use your common eense to your own advantage, i get all the happiness out of life you can. Don't every day go stumbling over a dozen jobs that need repsirs, hunting for something that you think will baflls my in- genui:y. Pause a moment and consider :—That shade roller doesn't run properly (never was put up right) ; there’s a piece of moulding «ff the piano and a bit of veneer off the sideboard : there's a knob off that dvor, and the catch doeen't work right’; the door bell needs adjusting, or, better still, replacing with an electric bell ; there's a cas‘er off the sofa ; a leg loose on the dining table ; the back comes off that chair every time you go to lift it ; the lock on the cupboard door is out of order, and another ia a similar con- dition on the bureau drawer, and a couple of pulls eff it too. Yes, and seventeen other little things bothering you every day, many of them scarcely worth sending to a shop for repairs. S ome of them you really cannot send. Get them fixed all the same. Send for WALTER to do them where they are. That's the half that wasn’t told. It’s the little things that cause the worry and unhappiness of life. Why be sad and sorrowful when a dollar spent in repairs will cure your cares and make you happy. REMEMBER! It’s not only the things that others cannot do I'm doing. Uf your repairs come in any§regular line, l'm working in that line too; if they are not in ony particular line, that’s just my line —in fac’, my specialty.
