PLAN DRASTIC DRY LAW
Licensed Saloons Are to Be Made
Fit for Children.
Prohibition Commissioner Smith of
Wisconsin Announces Intention to
Strictly Enforce New Act.

Madison, Wis.,, Aug. 16.-The sa-
looms of Wisconsin are to be made
places fit for children to visit, W.
Stanley Smith, prohibition commits
sioner, declares, in announcing his in
tention to strictly enforce provisions
of the new state enforcement measure
which calls for cleaning out Of former
liquor establishments.
Standing bars, as such, are to be
done away with under dictum of the
prohibition commissioner and the at
torney general. Evidence of legal
battle over this order of the enforce
ment officer based on the new statute,
sprang up shortly after it went into
effect.
Sheboygan and Manitowoc counties,
and have raised funds to fight the new
law to the supreme court before dis
turbing their bars. Their attitude is
not to be taken seriously in the opin-
ion of Commissioner Smith, who
of the state to provide definite regu-
lations in return for license is well
established
Some sections of the state are CON-
plying with the new regulations with
out objection, saloonkeepers removing
all screens and either removing their
bars completely or placing them in
compliance with the law as inter-
preted by the attorney general.
This recent Interpretation declares
that bars, if maintained, cannot be
used, and in addition must be so To-
Gated as to have the space behind
them completely open to view from
the street.
"We believe that by opening sa-
looms in this manner, the temptation
to engage in Illicit sale of liquor will
be completely done away with,' Com
missioner Smith said. SALOONS are
the greatest violators of the pro-
hibition laws, and when properly IL
censed and open to public view they
will not be in a position to continue
their Illicit trade without easily being
detected"
The commissioner reports a general
cooperation of district attorneys of
the state which he says is doing much
TO help enforce the new measure.

cost being a few scratches and a
