HEME TELLS
ATTITUDE UPON
CIGARET LAW
Governor Says He Will En
. force Present Statute "So
Far as It Can Be
Enforced."
From a Staff Correspondent.
Lincoln, March 12. Governor
McKelvi does not think the pub
lic sentiment in Nebraska will back
him in an attempt to prevent men
of mature years from smoking ciga
rets. lie so announced his attitude
Wednesday, replying to questions
of newspaper men.
The' fact that the present state
law whieh prohibits the sale or
giving away of cigarets to 4r by
any person or corporation is not be
ing enforcefj was one of. the argu
ment made bv the advocates of
the McLeod bill, H. R. No. 297, for
its passage. The McLeod bill pro
vided for the licensing of cigaret
dealers and legalized the sale to
adults, but provided severe penal
ties for selling or giving to anyone
under 21 years of age.
Those who antagonized the Mc
Leod bill claimed that the present
law could be enforced if public of
ficers would do their duty. Miss
Lucy l'age Gaston called on the
Lincoln city commissioners last
Monday and asked them to see that
the law is enforced here.
Governor McKelvie said that he
would enforce the law "so far as
it can be enforced." He added, that
in his opinion "it cannot be ef
fectively enforced because public
sentiment is not strong enough on
the question."
