THE editor and his wife spent last
week in Topeka, visiting with relatives,
attending the K. of P. meeting. the
republican resubmission meeting mot as
a delegate), and a meeting of the demo-
cratic state editorial association. To-
peka was busy city all the week, her
business men appeared to be well
pleased with the Turn out" better
pleased than a great many of the Wis
itors who appeared to think Topeka
was trying to ''work them" for all the
spare cash they had. Original pack
age'' houses and joints were said to be
abundant, but we must confess that we
only saw one drunken man during the
week, and he was an elderly man with a
long tailed coat and plug hat, and
was meandering in the most aristo-
cratic part of the city. Humphrey
and the Capital may tell you that
prohibition prohibits in Topeka, but
every one of the many thousands of
visitors last week can truthfully tell
you otherwise. Many of the citizens
of Topeka with whom we talked
expressed themselves Disguised with
a law that is farce, and hoped to see
it repealed. Personally, the writer
was well entertained in the capitol city;
but not as public guest.

Prohibition vs. License.

The Leavenworth Times, February
14th, 1889, published table taken
from the Police Record of the city,
showing that in 1882 with a population
of 1877 there were 464 arrests for
drunkenness, and one for selling liquor;
that no arrests for selling liquor were
made for the next four years and dur
ing that time arrests for drunkenness
increased. But in 1887, when the
hurry law and the metropolitan police
law went into force, with a population
of 81 ,220 there were only 357 arrests
for drunkenness but 292 for unlawful
selling. In 1883 with a population of
81, 227 there were 225 arrests for drunk
enness and IS for selling. thus show
ing that with closed saloons in 1883
and population nearly double that of
1882, the arrests for drunkenness were
less than one half of the arrests for the
same cause in 1882. Also, that in 1887
and 1883 there were 387 arrests for
illeagal selling and during the proceed
ing five years there had been but one.
These figures show conclusively that
euen u, LeavensOorth the laso can be enforc-
ed, and that its enforcement largely
diminished drunkenness and its attend
ant evils.
Now for little more s.rehash of the
arguments Of the New York Toice,"
which published in its issue of April
18th 1889 replies touching upon the
success of prohibition in the state of
Iowa, from twenty-one judges (their
names can be given if reqlired),
embracing fifteen of the eighteen
Judicial districts of that state, of which
number but two can possibly be con-
strued as unfavorable to the success of
the law. With the exception of those
two, all unite in stating that the law
is as well inforced as other criminal
laws; that the saloons are closed; that
drunkenness is remarkably diminished;
that business excepting the liquor
traffic, has improved; the crime is
largely reduced and the population is
gaining in numbers and character.
In a letter from John w. Harvey Of
Leon, Iowa, Judge ct the third Judicial
district, he says: The Rnmber of
convicts I'm our penitentiaries has hesn
reduced from $50 In March 1859, to 604,
July LIST, 1889, difference Of l4s. Is
shown by Gov. Larrabee's message
page fifty-five. It is well known So
that litigation decreased nearly one
half during the last Eve years. and
quite number of lawyers have left
the district because they could NO
longer make a living. 49, do not
hesitate to say that In my judgment

this reduction OF crime and criminal.
expenses is largely due to tho prohibit
tory law and its reasonable enforce
ment, - and Il seems strange to me
that, with these facts before him, any
intelligent man who has the good Of
the community and his fellow men at
heart can invite or desire the return Of
the saloon to our state, with all its
train Of crime and evil"
Now, Bro. Stoke, q word about my
arguments" In which, you say, ''every
statement il exaggerated aud over
drawn to make them moro telling" 1
do not object to legitimate criticism
Of my ''rehash Of arguments" but
candor compells me to say that your
course seems to show, on your part, a
very low estimate of the intelligence Of
your readers. Certainly, your readers
know that simple assertions unsup-
ported by authenticated evidence can
have no weight. If I have made false
or exaggerated" statements. specify
them and give the proof. In justice
to your readers as we'll as myself,
have the right to demand this, and l
challenge you to disprove a single
statement 1 have made. You have a
fair chance as have given my author
ity for every statement made, as well
as the medium through which
obtained nv information. Now, to
the proof Bro. Stoke.
