““It must therefore be accepted, beyond chance of controversy, that the legislature of Colorado has the full right and power by law, to provide such ways and means to prohibit and suppress the sale of any kind of intoxicating liquors as it may see fit, and as the exigencies of the case seem to it to require and demand, unless by express ■ constitutional inhibition, or necessary implication, that right and power has been withdrawn.””
