Wright county is now hone

II. Jackson of Hartville has issu
cd orders that no more deliveries
of intoxicants be made in the
county. and as a consequence
the shipment of liquor into
Mrnsfield and the other towns oI
the county from Springfield and
other cities has ceased, because
none that Is shipped could be
delivered, but would be return
ed tn the shipper,
The "bon" dry" law recently
passed by congress prohibits in
terstate shipping of intoxicants
to dry territory, and PrOsecut
ing Attorney Jackson holds that
the local option l.,w in Missouri
prohibits carrying, delivering or
storing liquor, even for person
al use. We hope that the Opin
ion is correct, and that never
again cap the wet cities ship
booze into dry territory. In
fact, we hope the time will speed
ily come when there will be no
wet cities. Booze is not needed,
and the material that goes into
the booze had better be conserv.
ed and used for some necessary
purpose. The handwriting on
the wall DEGREES that national
prohibition is cOming-and we
hope soon. Sheriff G. G San
ders and his deputies will do
their part in assisting Prosecut'
ing Attorney Jackson to enforce
the dry law in Wright county.
Prosecutor Jackson's action
is based upon Section 1928 OF
the Revised Statutes of Miss
ouri which makes it a violation
of the law for any person to de
liver Intoxicating liquor or store
or keep the same in their pOss-
ession for another person in any
county having heretofore adopt
ed local option.
Attempts to enforce the law
have resulted in the express and
railroad companies quoting the
next>section of the state law
which reads:
Section 722s-Nothing in the
two next preceding sections
shall he construed to prohibit
any person from ordering liquor
for his own or family use where
such liquor is sent direct to the
person using the same.
Prosecuting Attorney Will H.
d. Green, of Howell County, re-
Gently brought up the point that
any person might order for fam
ily use but that Section 1928 did
not provide that any one may de.
liver liquor for this purpose in
local option counties
The claim of the Prosecuting
Attorney was n strong one, and
resulted in the express com.
pany issuing an order that no
more deliveries of liquor be
made in Howell County until fur
ther notice.
w. j. Orr of Springfield, at
torney for the Frisco and the
express company, has written
Prosecuting Attorney Green
touching the position of the
transportation companies. His
letter is as follows:
