The Chair announced that Mr.. G. F. COT
hin would read resolutions, when he ap-
peared with the following:
Whereas, Wednesday, July 16, 1890, has
been designated by the Kansas State TEN
perance Union as the date for holding, at
the capital of our state, mass temperance
| convention, for the purpose of again declar-
ing our loyalty TO prohibition, of urging
congressional action to relieve US OF the
original package" horror, and Of devlslng
whatever other means may be necessary to
resist all encroachments, on Kansas soil, OF
the liquor, therefore,
Be it resolved, BY the citizens of Wich-
lta, in convention assent led: l. That we
heartily endorse the action of the State
Temperance Union in calling such a con-
vention, and thus affording such an oppor-
tunlty for the expression of public sentl-
ment on the liquor question as that even
he who runs may know that Kansas is a
prohibition state
2. That we again declare our faith in
prophlbItlon, as principle, and as the
best bulWark against the ineXpressible
evils of the liquor traffic that can be build
ed around our homes, our municipalities
and our state
3. That we reiterate the fact and defy a
contrary showing, that in our state, as a
whole, the prohibitOry law has been better
enforced, and has more completely ac-
complished its purpose than any other
prominent criminal law on our statute
books; and that we expose to the contempt
OF all Intelligent persons, the hollowness
and InSIncerlty of the statement so often
made by the enemies of prohibition, that
as much liquor is sold and consumed in
Kansas under prohibition as there would
be under the license system, high or low;
and our justification for regarding such a
statement with ridicule and contempt is
the appalling fact that since the recent de-
cislon of the supreme court of the United
states rendering to some extent lnOpera-
tive our prOhibitory law, so called original
package houses have been established by
the score in cities and towns where for
years their baleful influence had been I'M
known.
T. That we believe that the presence Of
the brewery and the open saloon in a state
or municipality is incompatible with a
high grade OF public morals, true CONNER
cial prosperity or the best type Of citizen
ship We hereby affirm that our ears
shall be forever deaf to the mercenary ar
gument of public revenue when that reve-
nue. is to be secured at the price of the
moral and material interests of our people.
5. That we will support no man for con-
sympathy with the enforcement 9th laws
of the state and nation.
6. That we urge upon congress that
there be no unnecessary delay in enacting
such laws as will enable the state to quick
ly bansish from its boundaries Original
packages" of every sort that in the discre-
ton of its legislature may be deemed
inimical to the peace, morals or health of
its people.
T. That we call upon all citizens of our
city and county believing in prohibition to
assist in every available way TO the success
of the convention to be held at Topeka on
the 10th. CHAs. f. COFFIN, Chm'n.
