escaped his lips. except the anxious wish
that the wreckers would make haste
because OF the love he bore his wife

Prohibition by constitutional amend
ment has been in force more or less
in Kansas for twenty-one years, which
is time enough to test it's value. The
statistics which have been gathered
are full of interest. In five of the los
counties the prohibitory law is not
enforced. These five counties have
seventeen per cent of the population
and furnish thirty per cent of the
crime. The population in these TWEEN
ty-one years has increased from 996,616
to 1,470,495, while the number of
prisoners has decreased from 917 to
1888. That prohibition is generally en-
forced appears in the fact that the
United States collects in Kansas only
$1,000 for each 100000 inhabitants
while in Nebraska, not a prohibition
state, it collects $252,00O In the last
ten years Kansas has gained three
cities of over 10000 inhabitants, while
Nebraska has lost three. Kansas,
while purely an agricultural state is
one of the most prosperous in the
Union and can afford to spend $4,000,
900 annually on her schools. She
saves it in beer and whisky.

POOR PROHIBITION MAINE!

POOR PROHIBITION MAINE!
Maine, committed to prohibition, is
without a brewery or a distillery. Ohio
and Illinois, license states, are filled
with distilleries, breweries and myri-
ads of saloons. Maine challenges COM
parison Of the prosperity of her COM
mon people with that of the common
people of Ohio and Illinois. In popu-
lation, indeed, the latter states far out
strip her.,
Population of Maine, 661,086.
Population of Ohio, 3,672,316.
Population of Illinois, 3,826,351.
That is, Ohio has five and one-half
times, and Illinois five and four-ifths
times the inhabitants of Maine. New
ertheless, Maine has far more savings
banks deposits than either.
Savings banks deposits of Maine,
$53,397, 500.
Savings banks deposits of Ohio, 1884,
e06,213.
Savings banks deposits of Illinois,
$23,49S,504
Thus with less than one-ffth of the
population of either Ohio or Illinois,
Maine has a half more savings bank
deposits than Ohio and more than
twice as much as Illinois, National
