Judge Wallace Changes Front.

Judge Wallace. in outlining his
plans for making Missouri dry" in
1910. severely criticised local option
saying it had served to close about
400 saloons in Missouri after twen-
ty years works, and asserted that
$50 years would be needed to make
Missouri a dry" state. This is a
radical departure from the stand
taken by Judge Wallace in defense
of local option only Is months
ago. Now he is seeking state. wide
prohibition, which if attained, he
would find just as inefficient as
local option. Glasgow Missourian.
