THE SALOON QUESTION.

The editor OF this paper has been
approached several times in the past
few days by parties who have their
different ideas regarding the liquor
question and we have made up our
little mind TO attempt In this article
to make our position on the subject
just us clear as we possibly can so
| that every reader OF The Herald will
know just what to expect from the pa
per in case the question comes before
the people.
We have lived in prohibition state
since we were boy and that state,
the state OF Kansas. is said to have
the very best prohibition laws which
have yet been devised, yet in many
ways. the workings of the law leave
much to be regretted. The state is
infested by bootleggers of the very
lowest type, in every city of any size
Joints" and blind tigers" abound and
are the resort of the criminal class
and murders and robberies are the al
most daily harvest. The decent citi-
zen who wishes to keep liquor in his
house for his private use must have
1t shipped to him from a dealer in
another state and must 30 to the ex.
press Office In person to receive the
shipment and, while this feature of the
matter is not so very bad. 1t leaves it
open 30 that young boys. yet in their
teens. can buy draft or money Or
der, send 1t TO Kansas City or Den
yer and receive for II shipment of
liquor. sent in the name of some town
bum, and take the box out into some
stable or shed and hold drunken
carousal and we have seen more
drunkenness in n small Kansas town,
In the same length of time, than we
have seen In Durango.
We believe that 1t is better for
city that few well conducted and
orderly saloons are in operation and
that the license should be made to
approach the best aviation altitude
record. that even then no license be
granted any man who Is not of good
repute as law abiding citizen and
that the continuance of the license,
from day to day, be made upon the
contingency OF absolute observance OF
all the city's ordinances relative to
the government OF saloons.
Every form OF gambling should be
prohibited and the sale of liquor to
minors and the presence OF women in
the saloon, strictly forbidden.
II is our idea that the actions OF
the saloonists OF the lower class are
doing more today to disgust the liberal
minded citizen with the laws OF the
state OF Colorado relative to the sale
OF lntoxicants. than has been effected
by the efforts OF all the temperance
societies In the Union. Many men
who believe In the right OF the mnnic-
ipality to license the sale Of liquor
would tomorrow vote for statewide
prohibition rather than to see u con
dition Of lawlessness exist In the COM
munity and In order to wipe out the
lawless dive would go to the extreme,
II necessary. OF voting to totally abol
ish the sale OF liquor In the city.
