How "Dry" Law

(By Frederick Steiwer, District
Attorney.)
The public will be interested In the
effect .,f the prohibition status upon
IpttgMa and other organizations main
taining bars which distribute Intoxi
cating liquor. Sections la and II of
the prohibition law makes such bars
I impossible. All lodges w ill be re
I quired to discontinue their bars and
to keep Intoxicating liquors entirely

tion la prohibits any person from

jt seems plain from the oonttdera-
tion of these two sections that there
J Is no way by which liquor may hi- kept
!ln lodge rooms or distributed among
; lodge members or used for any pur
POM In connection with the Paige.
'Section II declares that the place
'where "persons are permitted to re
Kort, for the drinking of intoxicating
liquors as a beverage" is a common
'nuisance. It follows that a lodge
'member may lawfully carry liquor on
(his person to a lodge hall or clun
room, but If anybody is permitted to
; resort to such club room for the pur
pose ot drinking such liquor, then the
lolub room becomes a nuisance, and all
I parties interested are guilty of viola
tion of the law. This statute Is so
broad that It seems a restauratd
Keeper cannot lawfully permit liquor
to be brought to the restaurant lit
customers and (here used us a bev
erage. Under the authorities, one act
probably would not bo unlawful, but
as soon as the practice became gen
eral the law would be violated. The
safe course for the restaurant man is
ir prohibit the consumption of liquor
on his premises. The nuisance re
ferred to In these paragraphs can bo
enjoined by a proceeding set forth la
the prohibition statute.
A very important part of the nui
sance feature of the prohibition law
is Its effect upon the person owning
or having under control any budding.
The law provides that an) such per
son who knowingly permits a bund
ling lo be used as a nuisance, or who.
i after being notified by the offi. ci s. or
by any citizen of such nuisance, ami
then falls to take proper measures to
stop the nuisance, or to evict the ten-

ling in the maintaining of the nuis-
liince. This provision of the law re
I quires every owner, or person having
a building under control to assist In
the enforcement of the prohibition
law regardless of his own preferences
or sentiments. Ordinarily, the prose,
cutlng officers will find It easier, ami
probably more satisfactory to notify
the owner of property and then pro
ceed against him If he falls to do his
duty, than to proceed against the
bootlegger whose acts are making

exercises took a Utile differenf tnrr
than the ordinary Christmas observ
ance. Besides a program of song9
and recitations and the distribution of
candy from two Christmas trees by
Santa Clan, there was a gift pro
gram which consisted of each cla,-is

tribution to some charity, such as the

At the Baptist church, the
large
room
pro-
gram consisted of the Christmas can- j
tata, "Down the Chimney with San-j

parts. Part 1 showed a cheery room
in a home with the mother (Mrs.
Baldwin) and her children on Christ-1
mas eve. The children in prepara-1
tion for the visit of Santa came out
in their nighties to hang up their
stockings before the fireplace Parti

followed by rthe sandman and dream
man and then came the messenger
of Santa followed by the old gentle
man himself. All came down tho
chimney. The action was carried on
in song and proved very enjoyable.
On of the features of the second
part was a whistling solo by the(
north wind (Rev. Clevenger). At thei
close of the cantata Santa Claus1
(Claire Myers) and his helpers db-
tributed candy amond the children, j
At the Methodist church there was
the usual tree laden with candy and
decorated with candles and tinsel. A j
program of songs, recitations and
pantomime preceded the distribution:
of gifts among the little folks.

with the Sunday school pupils, dis-,
tributing candy and other gifts to
all. A big Christmas tree, aglow
with candles, proved the central part
of the decorations hut other ever-'
