There's a state-we1l call it Massa-
soit-that is dry-legally.
It's Enthusiastically all of
them notice it.
Massasoit actually, is wetter than
the drys think and whole lot dryer
than you'd believe to hear some folks
tell it.
Every time the wet and dry issue
comes up anywhere in the country
Massasoit orators go out and tell how
blistering dry Massasoit is, and prove
it.
And hot after them go some more
orators from the same state who don't
see it that way. They tell the popu-
lace that Massasoit is just one boot
leggers' paradise; they demonstrate it
dozen ways
Then another dry" squad takes up
the trail and rebuts all the base can
ards they say the vets have been cir
cuating You'll never know how
much pathos can be wrung from sea-
soned dry" orator until he gets real
hot up and begins to tell how the vets
have DETAINED, columniated and yilifed
the fair name of the sover-r-reign state
of Massasoit.
n,tf bN xuh live thnPa don
get very excited about it, Whether
there is much liquor bartered there
depends partly on whether you're
wet or a dry that's inquiring, and more
on whether it's wet or a dry you're
asking
But when it comes to the attitude
of the officials who are charged with
the enforcement of the law, it doesn't
take a Lincoln Steffens to epitomize
that There probably isn't law ON
the statute books of any state that is
more persistently and perfunctorilv
enforced.
There is a psychological problem in
the liquor traffic in that dry state
There's a good deal of money and ef-
fort spent to enforce the law, and, by
and large, it's pretty well enforced,
but there isn't one scintilla of enthu-
siasm in the transaction.
Apparently there isn't, in some
places, the stigma attaching to boot
Logging as a vocation that folks asso'
eiate with other forms of law brea&-
ing. OF course the strata of society
adorned by the bootlegger isn't an
altitudinous one, but people who
wouldn't speak to petty thief have
been known to become very syInpa-
thetic when a bootlegger has had to
go to Jail
There are women in it, too. One Was
arrested recently. charged with LIQUOR
selling. She had a nursing baby, so
they didn't lock her in Jail. Another
went to Jail for the same olfense n
few weeks ago, and because she had
no other place to stay. her 6year-old
child went with her. A mother was
convicted who kept whisky in the cup
board and sold it and fed her children
and kept them in school with the
money she got for it,
There you have a problem that chal.
lenges the deepest thought of the best
brains of today. What has been stat
ed is a condition not theory Ii it
is ever solved it will be solved by prac-
teal men with ideals-Joplin Globe,
