NOT ALLOWED TO DRINK ON
TRAINS

DTlQKlOR even OuG VI OAC "" -
flask on railroad passenger trains
in Louisiana will become a mis-
demeaor punishable by fine or
Imprisonment after the Goth of the
present month, says the New Or
leans States. The railroad lines
are preparing to give their as
sistance in enforcing the law
which is along the lines OF the
Texas statute.
At one time drinking on Louis
lana trains was general and every
sleeper carried buffet well stock
ed with beer and liquors. The
extension Of the dry area, how
ever, gradually put the Pullman
company out Of the saloon bust
ness and for some time it has been
difficult to buy stimulants on any
train in the state.
Heretofore, however, there has
been no law to prevent a man
from stocking his grip in wet
town and imbibing to his hearts
content whether the train happen
ed to be running in dry or damp
territory. The evil resulting there
from has not been seriously felt
in south Louisiana where until
quite recently prohibition had
obtained but feeble foothold,
but in north Louisiana, where
strict prohibition laws seem to
have increased the whiskey thirst,
it has become q source OF great
danger and annoyance.
Liquor is still sold in Lake
Charles, Shreveport, Monroe and
Alexandria, though the tratf1c is
to be wiped out in the two first
named on the first of the year,
and men and boys have been
accustomed for years to go to
these towns from the dry country,
drink to their hearts content and
then start back to their homes
with TASKS and bottles in their
clothes, continuing their debauch
on the trains. The evil has been
particularly acute along the w., 5.
& P. and the T. & p, and much
disorder has frequently resulted,
peaceable passengers, including
women and children, being sub
iected to annoyance and in some
Instances to danger.
Act No. 70 which was introduce
ed by Mr.. Smart Of De Soto, and
will become q law on the goth, is
sweeping in it's character. It
makes it unlawful for any person
to drink intoxicating liquors Of
any kind in or upon any railway
passenger train or coach or closet
| or vestibule or platform, except in
cases Of actual sickness, and
makes the punishment fine not
to exceed S25 and imprisonment
not to exceed thirty days. Alter
a hard fight q section was added
which makes the law inapplicable
to stimulants taken with meals in
a regular dining car.
Trainmen are vested with au-
thority as police officers and the
various companies will see that
their employees are given instruc-
tons not to permit any violations
Of the law.
When the law was first put into
effect in Texas a citizen of that
state ventured to take swig out
Of his own flask. He was prompt
w arrested and fined the limit,
and though Texans have always
been reputed to be, steady drinkers
it is said that since that incident
no infractions of the law have
reached the notice of the law Of
