These Dry States Lacked
Michigan's Opportunity
They Are To Seize 1t Now

They Are To Seize 1t Now
Down in the state of Mississippi the
same As was the case in Michigan. dry
workers had to meet the argument of
the brewers and dstillers and saloon
keepers, that prohibition does not pro-
hibit.
These dry workers represented 10 the
people who wanted dry state that il
does prohibit. and they have been quick
TO seize the weapon with which they Will
be able to prove that it does.
The governor of Mississippi announces
that he viii call an extra session Of the
state legislature. in view of the supreme
court decision UNFOLDING the Webb-Ken-
yon law, TO pass for Mississippi an ABB
SOLUTE prohibition law
Under the present dry law in Colo
RADIO. alcoholic liquors in unlimited guam
titles may be imported into the state.
There are at present, in Colorado, five
proposed amendments to the prohibition
act, regulating the amount Of booze that
may be imported and the manner Of i'm
porting it.
But the dry leaders of the state are
now abandoning their bills and are unit
ing to put thru a bone-dry law SINCE
THE UNFOLDING BY THE UNITED
STATES COURT OF THE WEBB-KEN-
YON LAW
Both Colorado and Mississippi hesi-
tated to pass laws making them abso-
lutely dry for the same reason expressed
by our Anti-Saloon league in Michigan
in explaining its timidity-fear that a
bone-dry law would not stand up under
q constitutional test.
Rather than grasp the opportunity af
forded by the Webb-Kenyon law, as
Mississippi and Colorado were quick to
do and as other dry states will undoubt-
edly do. our Anti-Saloon league leaders (
have taken it upon themselves TO inter- I
pref the 10000 dry majority in Michi-
gan to mean something which the
amendment on the ballot very plainly
did not mean.
They propose law that will be both
dry and damp
1t was not the intention of the voters
they asserted, to vote the state bone dry. I
This is an opinion and not fact estab- /
lished by anything like referendum We
feel quite certain.
Colorado and Mississippi are now do
ing what they could not do before the su-
preme court had upheld the Webb-Ken- I
yon law, prohibiting the importation Of
intoxicating liquor for personal use, and
propose to act quickly to prohibit it.
Michigan SHES at doing what these
states would have done quickly with
Michigans established authority TO do
The quite ridiculous position Of one Of
our dry leaders, quoted in a Detroit pa
per, is that the Webb-Kenyon law would
not apply to Michigan as to West Vir-
GINA, for the reason that the West Vir-
ginia law prohibits the Importation Of
liquor for personal use while the Mich
igan law does not.
The Webb Kenyon law means that the I
importation of liquor for personal use
can be prohibited bWany state whose
dry leaders mean business.
That is exactly what it means and tn 4
view of It's plainness and clearness on (
the point. the position of our Anti-Sa-i
loon league, especially in view Of TO-
600 dry majority, becomes, instead Of ab-
soIutely dry, absolutely impossible Of un-

Stage Employees
Gathered by "Ham".)

Two of them, nearly; one of them
quite. That one is Jim Stuart, now
the ranking grandfather of No. Z.
Sam Hutchins hoped to bear that hon.
orable burden, but hustling Jimmy
beat him to it, giving Sam a friendly
pang of jealousy and causing him to
register a silent vow to beat him yet.
Says Sam, "I'll have two grandchil-
dren to get even" Then Brother
Whistle had to break into the weekly
news by hitting the pipe. Up at the
Broadway he hit the brass pipe bell
to notify the audience that the grue-
some hour of eleven had arrived. OF
course he only struck nine and ex-
planned that the next cue was for 2
o'clock SO he could miss them alto
gether as long as two bells do not
matter in an amateur show.
Talking of shows, the two fymen
at the Orpheum are giving a separ-
ate performance to the one on the
main deck. Gricourt is not feeling
his best and Tom Hannen has more
trouble than usual keeping him from
dropping a sand bag on Steve in the
vexing mixups when Husband fails
to speak US as he should. None of
these little worries bother Tim a bit,
providing Harkins keeps his pianos
far enough apart to let him thru with
the main garden hiders. Then Brinker
has kind of settled down to his vari-
Gus new jobs, of which he is not sure
whether the props at the Denham or
the T. NJ. A. is the most important
of his daily troubles.
Missner is fairly well satisfied with
his spacious five acres, his chief worry
being to keep Lizzie in one piece until
he gets home to supper and back to
work on time.
Outside of these few troubles the
fact that Harry Graham and Ed.
Dethlof are still on the sick list, which
all regret, we are otherwise doing
very well.
