ONE FOOTPAD ROUTE. The legislature has been in session long enough to show that there are members on the majority side in both houses who feel that they can safely vote against all kinds of measures of real benefit to the people provided they support some sort of a "liquor bill." This fact is illustrated by the action of the Republicans in the senate a few days ago. An anti-trust bill had been called up, but it was put off in order that a so-called anti-saloon measure might be considered. The most conservative temperance advocates in the state have declared time and again that the laws now in force-regulating the sale of intoxicating liquors are sufficient for all purposes and that no further legislation on that subject is needed. This is the opinion of such a high authority as Col. Ed Ritter, who has been the head and front of the temperance forces in the state for nearly a generation. It is no wonder, therefore, that there is a deep-seated and growing distrust of the good faith character of the whole liquor bill grist. The "liquor bill” method of killing legislation on other subjects has been worked at other sessions of the legislature and it is being overworked now. It has been used to postpone and defeat bills aimed at corporate and official abuses and from all indications it is being so used now. Perhaps, sometime, we will have a legislature that will get down to brass tacks, but it will not be a body with a Republican majority in it.
