Before the great corporations and trusts had corrupted the land, it was common belief that the National Constitution was an irrevocable guarantee of the right of each citizen of this country to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, in any State he chose as a residence. In our day we are told, in so many words, by a State Supreme Court and a Federal Circuit Court, that neither the Constitution nor the Flag follow a citizen of the United States into Colorado, and that if he wishes to reside in this State he must know that he holds his rights to life, liberty and happiness at the sole discretion of the governor and his military underlings, and that the latter may cancel these privileges at any moment.
This, in all its repulsive deformity and ghastly nakedness, is the infamous Moyer decision, as we understand it, and as we believe every intelligent and patriotic American citizen understands it.
