The situation in Leavenworth is boil
ing hot. Judge Culver of the prohib-
ton state executive committee came to
Leavenworth to stir up trouble. a
local minister named Underwood is also
helping him out. The Leavenworth
Times says there are only three men in
town in favor of closing the joints and
comes out in a triple loaded editorial
demanding the prohibitionists TO keep
out. The Times, which is prohibition
in its tenets usually, says:
"a prohibition row is the last thing
which anybody having the true welfare
of the city at heart would desire. The
people who would provoke such a row
are false friends of the cause of temper
ance, for by them that cause is betray-
ed and injured.
at is to be regretted that one or two
insignificant fanatics from Emporia,
meddling busybody from Emporia,
have commenced TO make trouble. They
are not the recognized representatives
of the temperance movement in the
city. but some excited irresponsible
cranks, deluded by their own ignorance.
or infatuated by love of publicity, who
are bent on raising a riot in the city.
"All reasonable people in Leaven-
worth, the members of churches, the
sensible temperance advocates, the re
spectacle tradesmen, all that represent
decency, sobriety and good order, feel
that the liquor business in this city can
be properly regulated and controlled by
the police commission; and that the i'm
position of further restraints will be
fraught with mischievous results to the
city.
Drinking will not be stopped; il will
be increased. More durnkards Will be
made; viler drink will be sold; sneaking
and immoral methods will he employed;
haunts of vice will be multiplied; strife,
bitterness, outrage and lawlessness will
be more rife. Not one particle of good
viii be done. Are these the results
which these so-called advocates of tenn
perance are seeking to promote? These
are certainly the results which would
ensue, if they gained the object they
are now seeking. Whoever knows any
thing about the past history of Leav-
enworth or Of Kansas, whoever Will
consider the condition of Topeka or of
Atchison or of Wichita. will he satisfied
of the truth we have asserted.
THE prohibtory law is not enforced
and cannot be enforced anywhere in
Kansas. By obstinate blindness of ly-
ing hypocrisy people may suppose or
say il is enforced. But honest, sensi-
BILE men and women know very we'll
that where there is most show of a
strict enforcement, there the drinking
evil is working most deeply.
1.-The people who are stirring I'D this
strife are not only the enemies OF Leav-
worth and of our glorious Kansas; they
are the enemies of peace and law, of
morality and Christianity. They are
the worst foes of temperance.
LET it be clearly understood that the
best men of Leavenworth have in the
past done their utmost to enforce the
law and they were left in the lurch by
these very people who are now med
ding: they were opposed and thrown
over by the state administration, and
by the temperance people themselves
II will be time enough to begin again
here when the experiment has been
proven a success everywhere else in
the state.
Throwing aside all hypocrisy and
sham. the bare truth is that this law is
being used by political opportunists TO
suit their own crooked ends. 1t is being
used by political designers for personal
ambition. The communities are dam
aged. ruined. demoralized by political
schemers. and it is time TO bring this
fraud 10 an end.
when prohibition Is enforced in
every city and county in Kansas. they
may come to Leavenworth. TIL then
let them keep out,'
