Excerpt from The Argonaut, Vol. 66: January to June, 1910 It is quite likely that the bill will pass. There is no depth of idiocy to which the aver age State legislature will not go, no act of brutal oppression to which it will not cheer fully accede. It is to a democracy that we must always go for sheer unadulterated tyr anny, as witness the laws requiring that physical examination shall precede marriage, the laws against cigarettes. Sabbath and blue laws of all kinds, and even prohibition laws. Nowadays we are absolutely at the mercy of every pestilent crank who can get the ear of a legislature for his insane and malignant theories, and no doubt we shall continue to be stamped into the-mud under the heel of the reformer until we are goaded into turning on our backs and biting it.
