“ THE FOUNT OF LAW.”
“ The State, as the fount of Law, inevitably has the legal right to do anything. But legal right is not the same thing as effective power; and our own experience is full of instances of the total incompetence of the State. The -oal industry is at the moment the most prominent example. Whatever 'lie legal rights of the State, it has 'bund itself unable to control that great enterprise. Statesmen are familiar with this kind of problem, and know vliat are the actual limits of the State’s ■noosed omnicompetenre. So, too, the State on the whole keeps clear o' artistic or scientific/ controversy.”—The Rishop of Manchester, in the “Con 'emporary Review.”
