At Topeka Kansas, last week Judge
Guthrie, in charging the grand jury to
make special inquiry As to the enforce
ment of the prohibitory law. took oc-
casion to emphatically indorse the law.
In the course OF his remarks he said
For nearly five years there has not been
a saloon or any place where Intoxicating
liquors were openly sold or given away in
this county. The law on this subject
has been as strictly obeyed in this city as
the statue providing for the punishment
Of murder. robbery or larceny. Hundreds
OF thousands of dollars have been invest
ed her in this city by strangers on the
conviction that public sentiment favored
an honest, fair enforcement Of the law
prohibiting the sale of Intoxicating liquors,
and it Is believed that these conditions
have induced thousands of families to
change their homes from sister States to
this city and State so that they might
with their children escape the evil effects
of the saloon. And these conditions and
environments are inducing the friends and
patrons Of learning to establish with mag
uificent endowments colleges and school:
