The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 18 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““In a recent work on the Limitations of Police Power, it is, in effect, asserted that there can be no lawful punishment of mere drunkenness, so long as it is concealed in strict privacy, without any exposure to or interference with the public or any individual. Tied. Lim. Police Power, 302. In other words, that strictly private and concealed vice of the individual cannot be lawfully made a public offense. The language of the act in question would-certainly admit of -such conviction without such exposure or publicity. But we are not called upon to determine whether the act is invalid for that reason, unless we should conclude that the act must be regarded as a penal statute, — a question which will presently be determined. If to be ‘an inebriate, habitual or common drunkard’ was intended to be made a criminal offense by the act, then it should have provided for or recognized the right of a ‘public trial by an impartial jury of the county or district wherein the offense’ should be ‘committed; which county or district’ should ‘have been previously ascertained by law.’ ””
