The recent utterances of Governor Nor
rill in reference to prohibition In Kansas,
and especially the suggestion that the
state should have control of the liquor
traffic. strikes most people as a novel and
untried proposition, with the possible ex-
ception of South Carolina experiment.
The fact. however. is that to all intents
and purposes it IS the essence and sub
stance Of both the Vermont and Maine
prohibition laws. he difference being in
the former case at least, that the traffic
is Immediately under the control OF the
county authorities. The county commits
sioners there buy the liquors, which are
subjected TO careful analysis to insure
purity. they hire the rooms and employ
statesmen, and the whole business is done
on public account The essential things
are thereby accomplished; only pure
liquors are sold, the sales are restricted 10
proper uses and proper persons and at
the most economical expenses No pa
pers are signed, no oaths required, and
sales are made principally on the judg-
ment of the salesman who has no per-
sonal interest to induce him to sell i'm
properly and is Immediately responsible
TO the authorities. This system has been
in vogue for something Ike forty years.
and has probably proved the most sue
cessful of any attempt at prohibition that
has yet been made. So Governor Nor
rill is by no means on untried ground or
fairly chargeable with unfaithfulness TO
the cause of temperance. The self-ap-
pointed guardians OF the prohibition law
OF Kansas Will discover sooner or later
that honest criticism of the Kansas plan
is not to be taken as an evidence OF sym
patty with the rum power or an indi-
cation Of hostile feeling toward temper
