13.  What principle did Richmond Pearson Hobson employ in the following?

    What is the police power of the States?  The police power of the
    Federal Government or the State—­any sovereign State—­has been
    defined.  Take the definition given by Blackstone, which is: 

The due regulation and domestic order of the Kingdom, whereby the inhabitants of a State, like members of a well-governed family, are bound to conform their general behavior to the rules of propriety, of neighborhood and good manners, and to be decent, industrious, and inoffensive in their respective stations.

    Would this amendment interfere with any State carrying on the
    promotion of its domestic order?

    Or you can take the definition in another form, in which it is
    given by Mr. Tiedeman, when he says: 

The object of government is to impose that degree of restraint upon human actions which is necessary to a uniform, reasonable enjoyment of private rights.  The power of the government to impose this restraint is called the police power.

    Judge Cooley says of the liquor traffic: 

The business of manufacturing and selling liquor is one that affects the public interests in many ways and leads to many disorders.  It has a tendency to increase pauperism and crime.  It renders a large force of peace officers essential, and it adds to the expense of the courts and of nearly all branches of civil administration.

    Justice Bradley, of the United States Supreme Court, says: 

Licenses may be properly required in the pursuit of many professions and avocations, which require peculiar skill and training or supervision for the public welfare.  The profession or avocation is open to all alike who will prepare themselves with the requisite qualifications or give the requisite security for preserving public order.  This is in harmony with the general proposition that the ordinary pursuits of life, forming the greater per cent of the industrial pursuits, are and ought to be free and open to all, subject only to such general regulations, applying equally to all, as the general good may demand.

All such regulations are entirely competent for the legislature to make and are in no sense an abridgment of the equal rights of citizens.  But a license to do that which is odious and against common right is necessarily an outrage upon the equal rights of citizens.

14.  What method did Jesus employ in the following: 

    Ye are the salt of the earth; but if the salt have lost his
    savour, wherewith shall it be salted?  It is thenceforth good for
    nothing but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men.

    Behold the fowls of the air; for they sow not, neither do they
    reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth
    them.  Are ye not much better than they?
