How Kansas Prohibits
TOPEKA WIDE OPEN.
Bell Boys in Hotels Solicit Orders for
Beer.

An epidemic Of lawiessness seems to
have broken out in Hutchinson. a
number of fights, burgaries and lesser
depredations have occurred recently.
the list crowned with the murder in the
Santa Fe yards Monday afternoon. SO
far no arrests have been made for the
burglaries and the police seem to be
greatly puzzled. Either the police lack
vigilance or there are not enough OF
them. With a proper patroling Of the
business section It is hard TO see how
these robberies of business houses
could continue. 1t Is time the public
showed their ability to do something.
Mrs. Owens, the wife of the murderel
OF TEX" Mullins. also makes a very
serious charge. She claims that she
notified the police long enough before
hand to have prevented the crime, thai
her husband was at hcme. drunk and
armed, and In a dangerous mood. Thi.
is a matter the chief Of police and tn,
mayor should carefully inquire into. Il
patrolmen will not respond TO suci
calls as these nobodys life is safe
Mrs. Owens may be mistaken, but shl
evidently believes that she was talking
to the police station and told whoeve
was there the condition her husband
was in. A response TO this summon
would have prevented this tragedy
Boot Leg whiskey seems to hav
had its usual part I'm this crime also
Owens bought that whiskey Of some
body, and it ought not to he very harl

How Prohibition
Works in Kansas
STOP THE LAwLEssNEss.

From the Hutchinson Daily News, Aug.
2s, 1907.
Several Of the delegates to the state
Federation Of Labor convention. held
in Topeka last week, report that the
town is wide open and that booze"
is as plentiful as ever. In fact, more
so than it was before Governor Hoch
began his campaign 10 close saloons.
such a state of affairs is a disgrace
to Kansas. Governor Hoch began the
crusade against open saloons in Kan
sas City and had Mayor Rose ousted
from Office, Hoch claiming that the
joints in other towns would also be
closed. It has often been charged that
it was a purely political move, and that
Hoch had Rose removed from office
because he was a Democrat. That this
lassertion is true conditions in Topeka
prove. II the governor IS so mora
that he won't allow joints in this city
why doesn't he close them in Topeka
He knows that thare is a bar room IN
every hotel i'm that city. and that ever

MAY FIGHT THE
SODA WATER TAX

At meeting Of the Retail Druggists
Association yesterday afternoon. there
was discussion Of the enforcement of
the law requiring soda water dispen-
sers to pay State license OF $3.50
a year for the privilege of selling soda
water.
But few of the druggists have paid
the additional tax, and several Of them
have stopped selling soda water The
druggists who have not paid received
notice yesterday that if they do not pay
the license within ten days they win
be presented to the grand jury by the
attorney general.
The impression prevails among the
druggists that the legality of imposi-
tion of a S25 tax upon soda water sell
ers will be tested in the State courts.

POLITICAL
.FAILUREOFPROHIBITION
Testimony Of Men in Position to Know.

Hon. Charles F. Libbey, Portland, Me.
(Ex- President State Senate, Ex-
Mayor of Portland and States Attor-
ney)
Il kept a record of all these men and
the number of times they came be-
fore me. 1 looked it all over to see
what l had accomplished at the end of
my term. I found that l had driven
out of the business one set of men and
another had come in, and. so far as
can judge from my experience, the
last set Of men engaged in the business
was worse than the first. In addition
to that 1 found that when the law
was very stringently enforced it created
demand for club-houses, and found
that young men were establishing club
rooms here in this city, and not only
did they become places where drink
ing was carried on, but, by supply
ing larger quantities than they gener-
ally would have in their possession as
means of gratifying their appetite for
drink, they were also getting TO gamb-
ling and other vices. 1 found that
while 1 was driving the liquor out OF
the ordinary shops, whore it had beer
sold. was driving it into the houses
and Kitchens, where the children of the
family, who, up TO that time, never
saw it, were accustomed TO see it deal
out in that surreptitious manner, The
rigid enforcement Of the law introduc-
ed the system of pocket-p -peddling-
something which we never had In th'
city before"
Hon. S. K. Shepherd, Leavenworth, Kan
CEx- Secretary of State.)
"The consumption OF liquor has beel
increased rather than diminished, ant
men have been made worse instead o
better. Prohibition has debauched on
State The attempted enforcement ha
brought out the worst element o
human characters on both sides of tn
question Men who once had respec
for the law have grown to hate an
: despse it. and their sons are follow
ing in their footsteps. In places Of sa
looms we have drug stores, joints, club
rooms and secret hell-holes, where
vicious stuff is sold TO all who want i
