OUR NOBLE
EXPERIMENT
Gan Editorial from the Sutton, Neb., News,
August ~, 1o44)

7 In November Nebraska citizens will be called
spon to voice their opinion with the liquor question
i AN attempt by the dry forces headed by Three
gun" Wilson to saddle the state with a new era OF
homebrew, bathtub gin, an army Of state agents,
bootleggers and lawlessness.
To say the present liquor laws or the manner
in which much Of the liquor is dispensed is salts
factory would be a statement OF untruth. To say
that prohibition with all its evils was the answer -
much more of an illusion.
Nebraska boasts one of the best liquor control
commissions in the nation aided by a set of laws
with teeth in them. but their greatest handicap has
been the lack of cooperation among the residents
of Nebraska in aiding the commission to enforce
the laws on fhe statutes. Too much time has been
spent by too many people harping "the old saloon
days were better than what we have now" That
may be true, we never had our foot on the rail in a
saloon. SO wouldn't know. But we do know that a
mere law on the books doesn't prohibit. Laws won't
keep the chicken house stills from distilling.
Education to temperance and a more strict en-
forcement of our laws is the answer and with the
drys devoting their efforts to these two fundamen-
tails. ferreting out the violators. a more rigid
character investigation of tavern applicants, and =
wholesale enforcement of our good laws will bring
the liquor question under control in short order.
This writer's greatest beef is the "double-cross"
being handed our boys fighting overseas. While the
boys are away. the folks at home are attempting to
decide" the liquor question. Sure, these boys are
allowed to vote, but you can't keep a bayohet out
Of your CUTS with one hand and scratch a ballot
with the other.
Wait until the fellows are back-then we will
vote on the prohibition amendment and decide the
question for all time.

FOOTNOTES TO THE LAW OF
MISREPRESENTATION

denim him to life at hard labor, he is
normally without redress. Is this ad.
mitted?
8. Say that man has been denied
education, not by mere lack of oppor-
tunity but by deliberate exercise of
authority Nevertheless he teaches
himself, among other things, apprecia-
tion of literature and command of ex-
preston in several languages. Is it
admitted that he does not thereby
prove himself fool or lazy?
4. If a laborer has written books
and elaborated in even the smallest
way with an acknowledged master in
a field as wide as the English-speak-
ing world, he may have done little
enough. But, for an unschooled lab
orer, he has not done altogether badly.
Is this admitted? Is it not admitted
that many a highly cultured" civic
and social leader" has boosted of
less?
5. Laborers who have written
books may not be so much, but neither
are they numerous. Any community
which knows the meaning of civilized
standards might reasonably feel that
it could do itself no discredit by grant
ing such men decent courtesy, decent
privacy, a decent measure of oppor-
tunity. Is this too much to ask?
6. Community leaders who consent
to go on record as seeking to deny
such men even the right to earn a
Iaborer's living - fortunate men who
stoop to gratuitous bounding of those
whom they somewhat presumptuously
regard as their inferiors-do so at
their peril Would any man of whole
heart and whole mind have it other
wise?
7. Not even the commonest laborer
IS morally bound, merely because he
IS a laborer and some other man is a
High Worthy Whizbang on Main
Street, to cultivate some silly and I'M
'ealistic Nirvana of self-negation while
he other devotes lot of high-priced
attention to insuring that whatever
happens to him shall be disastrous. Or
sn't this the United States any more?
