Excerpt from The Federal Government and the Liquor Traffic In jungle times - in the Stone Age - might was the only law of conduct. The wolf ate the dog, the dog ate the rabbit, and the bear ate all three. Bear and the man attacked each other as advantage presented itself. The right to assault and subjugate woman was among the most treasured prerogatives of the personal liberty code. Wives were secured by conquest and capture, only to be killed to make meat for the hyenas when they had served the purpose of their master. The doctrine that that government is best which govern least was in the flower of its development - there was no government. This must have been the par excellence of all rule, granting the correctness of the maxim stated. Breech clouts, a cave and a club constituted man's equipment for the duties and responsibilities of life. Stealing from one another made up the commerce of the age. The elements of science and religion had not yet been born. If two plus two equalled four, nobody knew it.
