Down With Mince Pie!

The hand of the reformer has reach
ed out and desecrated the mince pie.
Excise officials of Colorado view with
horror the danger of intoxication
which, they claim, rests within the
mince pie, and have decreed that in
future all traces of brandy shall be
omitted from the delectable dessert.
We have no quarrel with the excise
officials of Colorado, but we ask if this
is not carrying the enforcement of a
prohibitory law too far? Making a
martyr of the mince pie is striking
pretty close to home. 1t would give
the civil authorities power, for in
stance, to enter the home, sample the
mince pie before the family had a
chance at it, and, if they found it es-
pecially delightful, to condemn it and
carry it away with them to eat it
quietly and happily when they reach
ed a secluded spot. The authorities
could not be blamed for this, exactly,
because we all have seen mince pies
which no human could resist. It's the
family which has the kick coming.
The wise housewife knows that it is
not necessary to put brandy into
mince pie to make it appealing to
palate. Others believe that brandy
gives it a tang which it could never
attain without the use of alcohol. One
famous cook explained the difference
between mince pie with brandy and
that without brandy was that the lat
ter was "hash.n Be that as it may,
anybody will tell you-if he happens
to know-that the alcohol which gets
into the mince pie, gets out again in
the process of cooking. Immediately
the legal question will arise in Colo
RADIO, "When is a pie a pie?" In all
probability the courts will be called
upon to determine whether a pie is a
pie before it is cooked. II the latter
is the case, the pie maker can only be
charged with a violation of the pro-
hibition law when the pie inspector
calls before the pie goes into the oven,
This, of course, makes it extremely
difficult for the inspector. Aside from
the satire, however, the question re-
mains "How long will the American
public stand such absurdities of law
making and neutrality-suspicious."
