The Liquor Question.


EDITOR ADVOCATE" Swing low, sweet
chariot" is the anxious politicians re-
frain during the campaign.
The national parties save the prohi-
ton party, which polled less than one
vote in thirty peep between their
fingers at this great question.
In Kansas, during the late campaign,
the two great oontending political hosts
observed an owl-like silence on the SUBJ
ject. 1t is only matter Of conjecture as
10 how this question will be disposed Of
in the future.
The republican party claims the credit
Of giving the state prohibition, and yet
facts show that without democratic aid
the prohibition movement would have
failed. This 10 susceptible Of proof.
Both the democratic and republican
parties have in their day done much
that is worthy Of praise. They have also
done much that deserves severest con-
demnstion; much that has been harmful
to the people.
Let us be fair and give credit when
credit is due. The republican party
while in power in Kansas was instru-
mental in the adoption Of the prohibi-
tory amendment; but q republican
governor, Humphrey, was notoriously
Indifferent as to it's enforcement. In
the appointive power, in the pardon pre-
rOgativs and by every other means open
to him, he aided in rendering the law In
operative. Candid republicans admit
this.
The enforcement Of the prohibitory
law, as it now stands, will ever be spas
modic, irregular, partial and unsatisfao
tory. The drug store feature Of the
present law is unpopular, unjust and in.
iquitous. The drug store, as the sole
dispenser Of liquors, is now a great mo-
nopoly. Tho poor man and woman in
sickness and distress are obliged to OBJ
tain liquors for medicinal purposes at
the drug store-liquors inferior in quality
and extortionate in price. In other
words, the druggist has been granted
monopoly by the state which enables
him to both rob and poison the citizen at
q time and 10 q condition when he de-
serves most the protection and assist
ance Of the state.
The old saloon system abolished by
the prohibitory law was shell let loose"
Our people do not desire to return to
that system. Rather retain the lesser
evil that we now have than return to
that which we know from experience to
have been still greater.
There must be better agency estsb-
