How Muck Freedom?

Always the perpetual problem—
how much freaB^iT
All. every bit of It, Ual modern
life will stand, la th* snowier of the
liberal.
But between freedom and mod-
ern life there ts an essential con-
flict. The term needs constant re-
definition For Instance, automo-
biles are a part of modern life.
Every man ought to have the right
to drive one if he can get it. Yet—
It la certainly unwise to aHow him
to drive It while drunk, or when
physically unfit, or when the car
itself lacks brakes or a proper
steering gear.
Seventeen states now require
motor vehicle Inspection, the inter-
national Association of Pblloe
Chiefs reoprta. The freedom $o
drive a car is subordinated to the
freedom of other* to he reqeon
ably safe on the roads. Almost
every Instance of freedom today
must be subjected to the came
toot: so much freedom as does not
conflict with a like
