San IA ROSA
men In DEFY
TO GOVERNOR
Commissioners of Adjoining
County Cite Reasons Why They
Cannot Build Approaches.

Santa Rosa county is standing
pat on the refusal to pace the
bridge across the Escambia river,
near Molino, in uSable condition
The defy is an answer to the COVER
nor's order to have the bridge in
shape at the earliest possible time,
or to appear befor ehim an dto show
cause.
This is the view expressed in a
lengthy communication to the gov
ernor by ]. f. Poore, shairman of the
board Of commissioners of Santa Rosa
county.
The letter by Mr.. Poore. which was
made public recently in Santa Rosa
county, reviews at some length the
position of that county, with references
to the bridge, and denies that his
county is at any responsibility what
ever in the matter. The project is one
entirely for the citizens of Molino and
of the board of commissioners of Es-
Gambia county, he says.
The letter was written by Mr.
Poore in reply to a letter from the
governor made public in The Journal
last Sunday in which the boards OF
the two counties We're requested to
fix the approaches of the bridge and
put it in condition to be used, or APP
pear before the governor at a date to
be named, to show cause why the
bridge is allowed to remain idle. In
Mr.. Poore's letter to the governor It
is estimated that to fix the approach
es of the bridge and to provide the
road of more than a mile through
hwamps, necessary to put the bridge
in usable condition. would cost his
county approximately $4,000.

was Mrs. David Nation OF Medicine
Lodge, KAN. and q member in good
and regular standing Of the w. G. T.
y. II Is said that her first husband

Carrie Nation had another and more
apparent incentive to use her Ratchet
on saloon furniture. And WELD that
Ratchet she did; its fame temporarily
eclipsed that of the Father of His
Country.
Carrie Nations Little Ratchet.
KANSAS was legally a prohibition
state. As a matter o. fact prohibition
was but name and the saloons Of the
state were wide open. The general
plan was to fine a saloon SIS month
for breaking the law; that solved the
license difficulty. In short, prohibition
in Kansas had broken down complete
ly In the ten years It had been nomi-
nally In force and the state authori-
ties had not the courage either to
modify the law or enforce 1t. Carrie
Nation took the situation into her own
hands.
Carrie Nation first visited Kiowa
and broke up two saloons with her lit
tie Ratchet. Then she went to Wichi-
ia and broke up two more. She was
put in jail, kept there for several days

and then released. She broke up an
other saloon and was not even arrest
ed. She went to Topeka and made an
appeal to Governor Stanley. He told
her he did not approve Of her methods.
She also addressed both houses of the
state legislature. She visited Chicago
and other cities, between times contin-
IIing the work Of smashing saloon fix

States Enact Dry Laws.
The activities of these early leaders
Of the prohibition movement gradually
brought about the enactment of state
legislation prohibiting or regulating
the sale Of liquor. Some of the early
state laws provided for local option,
which made possible local prohibition,
as In Connecticut In 1889.
II IN 1887 Neal Dow, alarmed BY the
East quantities of rum entering Maine
through the West Indian trade, began
his agitation for prohibition in that
state. Stringent regulation of the
liquor traffic was established In sever
al states. but the passage Of the Maine
prohibitory law in 1851 afforded the
first real test of prohibition. Massa-
chusetts and Rhode Island In 1852
passed laws forbidding the sale of
ngg0F; these laws were subsequently
repealed. Massachusetts, adopted local
option BIZ towns, Iowa passed con-
stitHtienal amendment In 1889; it was
Declared void and was superseded by a
statute (1SS4). This in turn was done
away with by the famous Mulct law,
1 which itself was modified. Several
1 states rejected prohibition sought to
4 be secured either through statute or
4hE constitutional amendment. Kan
sRS adopted prohibition In 1890 and a
LITTLE Later openly violated the law. So
there was spasmodic activity IN most
parts of the country toward pro.
AibitiaR, but It was without plan or
N0hesion. When the ratification Of the
eighteenth amendment began the situa-

nor Of Kansas. He was a Republican,
but his party thought him too warm q
friend Of the prohibitionists and he
was defeated for reelection in 1882.
Accepting the Prohibition nomination,
he went into the campaign with all
his vigor and delivered stirring
speeches all over the country, espe-
cially paying attention to New York
state, where the fight between James
@. Blaine and Grover Cleveland had
made things very warm. st. John was
out - .,eat the Republicans, and he
succeeded, for the Prohibition vote
was large enough to let Cleveland win
