Excmpting tho District of Columbia

7 EGAL officers OF the District of Columbia
l. have concluded that the celebrated Reed
amendment barring the shipment of liquor
into State which by It's own enactment pro-
hibits the manufacture or sale Of intoxicating
spirits. does not apply to the District. and
that the dry law, which became effective In
the national capital on November l. will not
operate to keep wet goods from crossing the
District line. This conclusion is based upon
the fact that the Reed amendment applies
only to Estates and Territories" The Dis
trict Of Columbia is neither State nor q
Territory. and in all interstate laws intended
to include it. the District is specifically men
toned. Whether the Missouri Senator in
advertently omitted the capital from the
scope Of his measure or whether he designedly
exempted the District. has never been ex-
planned by him. At ell events. the amend
ment appears TO have no force with respect
to this one dry area. and Neutrality-suspicious.
who like little toddy upon occasion may
place their orders for liquor Of any sort or
quantity in any wet market with the assur-
ance that the prosecuting officers will not
interfere. There are certain definite forms
to be followed, of course, in efecting de-
livcries, but they are merely annoying and
not prohibitory in any sense.
If Congress to apply the Reed
amendment to all dry States and Territories,
it is difficult to understand why that measure
should exclude the District of Columbia
! This State for instance. is hinged about with
Gordon Of Federal officers and searchers en-
gagged daily in holding up passengers on
! trains or steamboats, and even motorists, for
| the purpose Of relieving them Of any liquor
! found in their possession and OF laying fines
| or Jail sentences upon vootors of the law
/! All transportation companies arc barred from
| accepting shipments OF spirits for delivery
! in dry territory, and the mails are
| guarded against such use. Just why one
| political unit legislated dry, should be
! exempted is question to which ell other
| similar areas Will demand answer. We
would not put any undue hardship upon our
neighbors in Washington In this matter but
| the same Congress which passed the Reed
| amendment likewise passed the law making
! the District OF Columbia dry. There Is
fragrant inconsistency in the two measures.
and If the courts sustain the contention that
Washington is not affected by the Reed
amendment. we may expect Congress- at an
early date to amend It's own amendment, deal
Ing cut the same dose to Washington that
has been administered TO other dry un!ts
