The Liquor Law.

The most practical suggestion we have
seen as remedy for the present evils of the
liquor traffic is given BY J. L. LOOMS, OF
Independence, in the last Temperance
Standard. He proposes to place the law
on the same basis as the Stock Act, recent

people Of the county. Should they vote
prohibition, on them alone would rest the
responsibility Of enforcing it. This would
be but extending to counties the privilege
granted by the last Legislature to cities, as
police measure, aud by localiziug the
question it would be more effectively dealt
with.
Our legislators would not hesitate to
make law for the people to accept or re-
ject as they choose, and petitions signed
by those earnest workers in the cause of
temperance, embodying the plan suggested
above, would have the desired effect, and
eventually, We believe, would work i'm.
