GOVERNOR BROOKS.
Wyoming Governor Says He Has the
Only Solution OF the Liquor
Problem.

The Washington correspondent OF
the St.Iouis Globe-Democrat lately
made an exhaustive inquiry in the
results of state legislation to control
the liquor traffic. He wrote to the
governors of all the states for statis-
tics and opinions, and received many
interesting letters. In a twocolumn
article on July he told the results
of his inquiries. He found that there
was a growing sentiment for temper
ance in many of the states where the
liquor traffic was an issue, local op-
ton and high license were employ
ed in preference to prohibition such
as prevails in Kansas.
Iowa had abandoned the kind of
prohibition proposed for the new
state of Oklahoma, after finding 1t
an unsatisfactory experiment. Cover
nor Cummings wrote:
our regulation is known as the
mulce law. which. while not licen-
sing the sale of liquor, bars prosecu-
ton, provided the tax is paid and the
provisions OF the law complied with.
This law allows the citizens of COM
munity To decide whether liquor
shall be sold, requiring a statement
OF consent, with varying proportions
OF the voters depending on whether
the consent rs sought in 0 city or
county. The plan Is practically local
option and high license combined"
Golernpr Brooks OF Wyoming
wrote High license. with strict regu
lation. heavy bonds being required
OF saloon keepers and dealers, is the
only solution of the liquor question. "
In practically every state where
genuine temperance had made a sub
stantial headway, the result had not
come through sumptuary laws. Cit
zens had been permitted TO test for
themselves In their respective com
munities such plans as they though
best adapted to their needs. II wa,
process of education, and not one
