Excerpt from Bench Vs, Bar: Or Judicial Answers to Saloon Arguments Lean in the License cases, 5 How. 589, where 'he says the police power is a power essential to self-preservation, and exists, necessarily, in every organized community. It is, indeed, the law of nature, and is possessed by man in his individual capac ity. In State v. Aiken, 26 L. R. A. 352, the South Carolina Su preme Court says of the police power: The origin of this pow er must be sought in the very purpose and frame work of organized society. It is fundamental and essential to govern ment. It is a necessary and inherent attribute of sovereignty. It antedates all laws, and may be described as the assumption on which constitutions rest, for the state, whether we regard it as an association of individuals or as a moral organism, must have the right of self -protection, and the power to preserve its own existence in safety and prosperity, else it could neither fulfill the law of its being nor discharge its duties to the indi vidual. And to this end it is necessarily invested with power to enact such measures as are adapted to secure its own author ity and peace, and preserve its constituent members safety, health and morality.
