Responsibility Of Communities.

A damage suit in the Douglas county district
court has directed attention 10 an overlooked
section OF the Nebraska law that was passed to
give effect to the prohibitory amendmen, adopted
by the state, and which became effective
FIVE years ago. A grea, deal OF water has run
under the bridge since then, but the law still
stands as il was enacted by the legislature OF
1917. Section So OF chapter 1877 OF the Session
Laws OF 1917 provides:
Every person, married woman. minor or
other person under legal disability. who shall
be injured In his, her, or their property, per-
son or support. In consequences. In whole or
in part. OF the intoxication OF any person, ana
shsll be able TO prove that the mayor OF the
city, or chairman and board OF trustees OF the
village. or the county attorney or the county
board OF the county, or In metropolitan cities
and In cities OF the first class. that the city
commissioners were not endeavoring in good
faith to enforce the liquor laws of this state
and tho provisions OF this act. ana the city
ordinances or village ordinances. or rules or
orders of the commissioners, IL any, In refer
cnce thereto; and that such officials had actual
notice or knowledge that intoxicating liquors
were being unlawfuy sold Kept for sale. bar.
tered, furnished or given away In the county,
city or village in question. or In the absence
Of such notice or actual knowledge. that such
officials could by the use OF reasonable dill.
xence have obtained such notice knowl-
edge; shall have right OF action, ct sea-
The section is very comprehensive, and the
judge before whom the case is presented has held
II good to the extent that he has permitted the
implication Of the City Of Omaha as party to
the defense. The saving clause for the commun-
ity rests in the proof that must be submitted by
the plaintiff. 1t must be shown that the authori-
ties are negligent lacking in good faith, and fail
ing to exercise due diligence in the pursuit OF the
illegal traffic. This will be for the jury to decide.
The purpose of the law is obvious, that Of
keeping the authorities keenly alive to the busi-
ness Of enforcing the prohbitory amendment TO
the state constitution It has nothing whatever
to do with the national law, or the efforts to en-
force prohibition under that. Some question
may arise, as already some have come up, as to
where state or national control shall be applied.
Confusion exists as to this, and. until courts have
formulated definite rules governing the mooted
points, enforcing officers will be at a loss as to
how to proceed.
That the communities are at the peril OF
being required to defend damage suits, with the
consequent liability Of being called on to make
settlement with damaged litigant, may serve
to stimulate public sentiment in support of the
quest for bootleggers.
