DOMESTIC BUFFALO

Daniels county. A 2-year-old was

WET TALK. DRY VOTES

The liquor situation in this country at present is

lot of feel, and how lot of drys feel; but how
does the ma jority feel?
Still, there signs worth studying, which may
possibly suggest an Take, for example, re-
cent proceedings in Congress.
There has been a vast amount of wet talk in both
houses Senate committees have acted If they be-
lieved every citizen with dry sentiments traitor
to his country There lot Of talk IN the House
favoring liberalization of the present dry laws. Yet
when the matter to showdown the other day,
the vets only mustered 80 votes to the drys' 246.
Those laws will stay unliberalized far the
congressman are concerned And congressman always
have their ears to the ground.
1t is probable that many of them take their nips
on the sly the exposure of bootleggng at the nation
al capital indicates but they dry to get the votes
of the drys, who organized very thoroughly.
Probably open-minded person fails to realize
that drinking has been detriment to humanity. The
same -mindedness must bring realization that hon
est manufacture and sale of beer and light wine under
government supervision, rationed sugar during
time, would put the bootegger out of business by
cutting off his profit thereby promoting sobrety; but
there is little likelihood that such desirable condi
ton will come to pass with the extremists of both sides
unwilling to get together

SHOOTING TRAFFIC OFFENDERS

Visitors to Mexico City complain that the police
there shoot too slight provocation The Mexican
newspapers echo the complaint They insist especially
that the police quit shooting drivers for violating
the traffic laws. That seems to be common practice
Not that anybody down there objects especially
to motorists getting shot The trouble is that the po
lice are such bad shots Instead of hitting the drivers
who are running down pedestrians, they usually hit
the pedestrians. Several have been killed recently in
that way.
The situation seems to call for reform At the
same time it bespeaks notable improvement in Mex
ican conditions when the police have greater provo
cation for shooting than traffic otenses We seem TO
have most of the bandits up here now.
