For Jailed Dry Law Violators
* * *
States Which Repudiated Liquor Laws at Polls Consider
Amnesty for Prisoners Convicted Under Dry Code.

Now that the smok* has all cleared away and tha ballot* ara all countad,
nine Slates of the Union'in which eitlien* balloted on the prohibition
question, simultaneously with choosing a President, are faced with the
problem of translating the will of the people into practice. The people
of these States have repudiated the State liquor laws, and the authori
ties now find themselves with a large number of prisoners, occupying
State penitentiaries for deeds which are no longer considered Illegal
To straighten out the tangle Corernor-elect William A, Comstock of
Michigan has announced that just as soon as he takes office he will great
a general amnesty to the 297 prisoners held in Stele prisons for liquor
offenses. Governor Jsmes Kolph, of California, intended to take a sim
ilar course, but a State law makes such blanket pardons illegal, so the
Governor promises to grant individual pardons to more than 1,000 caged
dry law violators before Christmas. In like manner. Governor-elec!
B. B. Moeur of Arizona plans freedom for the State's liquor "felons,’’
asserting that auch prisoners are in jail for somathing that tha paaola
have ruled is not a crime New Jereey's Governor Harry Moore is else
on the let-freedom-ring bandwagon, but as New Jersey has but one
liquor prisoner, his task is easy. Washington and North Dakota have
not yet decided a course of action, but it is fairly certain that they will
come into line. But Colorado, where Governor William A. Adams holds
the reins, turns in a stern “No!” to the amnesty suggestion, declaring
that prisoners will he released only whan tbay become eligible for parole.
To sum up, it would appear that tha old war-time alogan, “Get the boys
out of tbs trenches before Christmas," has been changed to “Get 'em
out of iail before Christmas.“
