Epecial to Times epubllcan.
Sioux City, Dec. 14.-Characterizing
the movement to absolutely prohlblt
the handling of liquor by drug stores
an unwarranted slap at the trade, re-
tail druggists of Sioux City have re-
fused to sign petition that has been
sent here by Boyson, Cedar Rapids
druggist. Boyson would make 1T
misdemeanor for a druggist to sell
LIQUOR under any circumstances. In
paper before the state retail druggists
association at Dubuque last summer,
he advocated such a measure and en-
countered so much opposition that the
association voted to eXpunge portions
of his address from the record on the
ground that they cast aspersions on the
trade Now Boyson expects to place
the proposed reform before the legis-
latllre this winter. Druggists in Sioux
City declare there is no need of such
a law and that it would be hardship
to people who really need alcoholic
liquors for medicinal purposes.
