Dear Sir:
In response to your conunnnlc:
Hon asking thnt I express myself
In regard to my opinion of tho
iigcncy question ns submitted to tho
voters ir Oklahoma nt tho approach
I lug election from tho standpoint of
I one who has never been a prohl
I bltlonlst ns tho term Is used from
a radical standpoint I desire to say
I Find. I do not hellovo Hint prohi
bition wns voted In this stato by
I tho prohibitionists nlono hut that It
was cprrled by the veto of tho logic-
nl business man who wns disgusted
with the ninnncr In which tho s.v
' loons were conducted nnd with the
I Influence exerted In party politics
by the saloon element. The ellmlnn-
! Hon of these two evils has undoubt
edly resulted In groat good morally
and politically.
Second. I believe with tho ma
Jorlty of our physicians and thou
s.-uvls of our citizens thnt liquor Is
needed and necessary not only for
modlcnl purposes but for uso In
compounding dnigs In our colleges
nnd for Industrial nnd scientific pur-
IHises nnd that proper arrangements
must be made for its distribution
properly restricted by practical law
Thlnl. Tho agencies supply nil
these demands nnd I bellevo tho re
Ptrlctlons placed uiKin them by tin
laws aro ns severo ns any reason
able practical man could desire.
Any law thnt U too drastic Is soot
unenforceable and obnoxious to tho
lmhllc.
Fourth. To havo practical enforce
incut of a law nil vnlld oxcuso fo.
IIh viola. 011 nitiHt bo removed. This
I believe tho nRency does for th
llipior lawn of tho Btntc
l'lfth. Takliu: lu conBldoratlon

In tho ntnto filly jut cent nnd
Hint the law has demonstrated Hint
It Ih practicable nnd enforceable ns
ban been demonstrated In tho ma
Jor portion of tho stnte especially
noticeable In tho western half; Mid
whllo tho contention that the law Is
not perfect Ih doubtless true Its
defects can bo remedied by fuliiro
legislation much lictter than that nn

Why Colds Are Dangerous.
