Theae F)ry States Lacked
Michigan's Opportunity
They Are To Seize It Now
Down In th* state of Mississippi, the
sattv* s.s was the east’ in Michigan, 'iry
workers hatl to meet the argument ol
the brewers ami distiller.- and saloon
keepers, that prohibition does not pro
hibit.
Those dry workers represented to the
people who wanted a dry state that i ?
does prohibit, and they have i>een quid
to seize the weapon with which they w .
bo nh!e to prove that it does.
The governor of Mississippi announces
that he will call an extra session of th.
state legislature in view of the supreme
court decision upholding thi W id-K n
yon law, ,to pass for Mississippi an A:‘ -
SOLUTE prohibition lav.
Under the present dry law in ('< ’•>
rado. alcoholic liquors in unlimited uan
tities may in* imported into the state.
There are at present, in Uolorarl >, five
proposed amendments to the prohibition
act, regulating the amount of booze that
may be imported and the manner of im
porting it.
But. the dry leaders of the state are
now abandoning their bills and are unit
ing to put thru a bone-dry law, SINCT
the upholding by the united
STATES COURT OF THE WEBB-KEN
YON LAW.
Both Colorado and Mississippi he> -
tated to pass laws making them abso
lutely dry for the same reason expr. s>*xi
by our Anti-Saloon league in Michigan
in explaining its timidity—fear that a
bone-dry law would not stand up under
a constitutional test.
Rather than grasp the opportunity af
forded by the Webb-Kenyon law, as
Mississippi and Colorado were quick to
do and as other dry states will undoubt
edly do, our Anti-Saloon league leader*
have taken it upon themselves to inter
pret the 70,000 dry majority in Michi
gan to mean something which the
amendment on the ballot very plainly
did not mean.
They propose a law that will be both
dry and damp.
It was not the intention of the voters
they asserted, to vote the state lx>ne dry.
This is an opinion and not a fact estab
lished by anything like a referendum we
feel quite certain.
Colorado and Mississippi are now do
ing what they could not do before the su
preme court had upheld the Webb-Ken
yon law, prohibiting the importation of
intoxicating liquor for personal u-e, and
propose to act quickly to prohibit it.
Michigan shies at doing what the-'
states would have done quickly with
Michigan's established authority to <i .
The quite ridiculous position of one of
our dry leaders, quoted in a Detroit pa
per, is that the Webb-Kenyon law would
not apply to Michigan as to West Vir
ginia, for the reason that the West Vir
ginia law prohibits the importation ’
liquor for personal use while the Mich
igan law does not.
The Webb-Kenyon law mean- that the
importation of liquor for persona! u e
can bt prohibited l.vyam state
dry leaders mean busine--.
That is exactly wTTat it mean* and in
view of its plainness and clearne- :i
the point, the po ition of our Ant. - -
loon league; especially in view of To,.
000 dry majority, becomes, inste; i o -
folutely dry. absolutely impossible of un
derstanding.

Midden Happiness
BV Ok. t HANK CHAN*
(ropvright, tHtft. b» Franb ('rwoat
I . i
Happiness is rarely visible to the mul
-it tuie, say a shrewd observer; it lies
t bidden m odd corners and quiet places.
Happiness is a shy thing. Cirief is
blatant and advertising. It' a boy cuts
his linyrcr be bowls, proclaiming his woe.
II he is eating pie he sit.s still and says
j nothing.
If you ask a man how he is, lie
searches himself to find a pain tt* report.
If be has nothing but happiness be bates
to mention it, and says, “Oh, not half
bad.”
We conceal happiness, as a vice.
We are rather sifspicious of it, and if
we feel particularly well, or have excep
tional good luck, we knock on wood.
Ihe fact is that happiness does not
• eume from the big events of life, but is
, made up of innumerable little things.
Ordinary everyday happiness is com
posed of shoes that fit, stomach that di
’-tests, purse that does not flatten, a little
appreciation, and a bit of this, that, and
.tile other. 1 1 h> trilling to mention.
The lu-j; things, such as someone giv
ing \ i a million dollars, are not only
rare, but they do not satisfy when you
have the neuritis.
We an oi i itankerous by nature that
we are usually able to spell happiness
only by bolding it before the mirror and
n adivg backwards. Leonardo da Vinci
I used to write that way; that may be
why be could paint “The Joyous One”
with so enigmatical a smile.
For if you *’ok to analyze contentment
vou go at it negatively. To feel well
means you do not have head-ache, tooth
ache not* toe-ache, you have no dyspep
sia. i tarrh gout, sciatica, hives, nausea,
boi; cancer, grippe, rhiniti-, iritis, ap*
j.’i li .ti-, r r any other itis. And to
