The Globe-Democrat publishes a
special dispatch purportiDg to be from
Wichita, Kan, which reads as follows
WICHITA, KAN, April Assistant
Attorney General Halloweil, so con-
spicuous for his futile attempts TO en-
force prohibition. is nonplused by a
recent move Of the ants. An organi-
cation. known as the Oklahoma band
with power to do business in Wichita.
has been chartered. Officers were duly
elected, the secretary being an ex met
ropOlitan assistant city marshal. and
stock issued at the rate of 81 per share.
In one corner of the certificates are
twenty stars. The holder has the en-
tree to the club rooms of the band.
which are known as reading rooms.
Here he presents his certificate, calls
for what drinks be requires, and has
the charges punched out on the stars
in his certificate. The scheme seems
q feasible, and beyond the control of
ProhibitiOnists. that other clubs are in
process of formation.
Now we imagine the author of this
dispatch does not live in Kansas. or il
he does be is very verdant youth, if
he imagines any such simple scheme
rs that would battle Kansas Prohibi-
zionist. If the scheme" should be at
tempted in Abilene, or any other law
abiding city, it would just take one
term of court to send the whole sea
