HYDER, ALASKA, Aug. 2. 1922
A FINE KETTLE OF FISH
When it is considered that the!
government is spending millions of j
dollars in its attempts to enforce j
the Federal liquor law on land and |
is itself engaging in its sale on its
own ships, the business of th« ord
inary bootlegger does not appear so
reprehensible to the average citizen
after all. On the contrary, they
are justified in contending that the
government is not superior to the
people and should not delegate to
itself privileges that are denied the
people. Another thing; If liquor is
a bad thing on land.it is equally de-1
leterious on the water. If it is a
good thing on the water, its benefits
cannot wholly be lost when it is
brought ashore. On the whole, for
the government to enforce a law on
land and violale the same law on
the sea is| to say the least, some
what incongruous. It is a condit
ion that will lose America the resp
ect of other nations and the Amer
ican government much of the
respect of its own people.
Albert D. Lasker, chairman of
the American shipping board, con
tends that booze must be sold on
American ships in order that they
may be able to compete with ships
of other nations. Attorney Gener
al Daugherty at first opposed Las
ker's plan but is now silent on the
subject, preferring to await the
oecision of the Supreme Court which
wiil not be given yet tor six months
or more and, pending that decision,
the government will continue to
engage in the traffic of liquor on
the sea and prosecute its traffic on
land.
In the meantime President Hard
j ing is keeping in the middle of the
road, attendiog cenltmal celebrat
ions and getting off nice little plat
itudes concerning coining prsperity
that were old when Noah tied up
his scow to a snubbing post on
Mount Ararat. The President has
for company other leaders of the
administration who are silently
watching the situation, afraid to
hazard a gu -ss as to what the out
come will be.
At the same time the drys are
tearing their hair and their shirts
and threatening defeat of the present
administration unless it retires from
the booze business instanter, and
on the whole the situation presents
the most grave and complicated
tangle that has existed since the
dawn of the dry era.
And while all this is going on, the
,cold and clammy fact remains that
Uncle Sam is himself selling booze
on the sea and arresting, fining and
sending men to jail for selling it on
land.
While Americans may get a drink
by going to sea, they don't have to
go on to Denmark to find something
rotten.—Strollers Weekly.
