Tiny pickles accompany the dish also.

of your favor of the 29th, addressed to
the secretary of the Citizens CONNER
eial club. containing quotation re-
eeiyed from the editor of a paper 1t
Kimhall, Nebraska, relative to the
effectiveness of the Kansas prohibit
tory law. The letter as quoted, as a
general proposition. about owe the
ground. and any opinion on this sub.
ject will naturally be of a personal
character. So far as the strict enforce
ment in the state of Kansas in the
larger towns is concerned. | believe
1t is conceded to be an absolute fall
ure, while in the rural towns ii is
said to be effective. As a matter of
fact, in this city some six years ago
there were a number of first class
saloons running wide open. paying n
revenue 10 the city of from $50 to
S100 per month. This had the effect
of raising the rentals of business
property to an abnormally high point,
but had very little, II any. effect upon
residence property. During the past
two years there have been no saloons
in this city, but they were replaced 10
a considerable extent by drug stores
starting up and securing liquor per-
mits under which liquors were dis
pensed under the provision of the
Druggists Permit Law,-the violations
of which law became so numerous that
it resulted in all druggists permits
being revoked. The result of this IN
dition is, that the police court records
show a very large per cent of drunk
enness, and this is only attributable
to one source-that of bootlegging.
These conditions cause the writer to
express an opinion hat the prohibitory
law is not effective in the cities; how
ever, there has been no appreciate
decrease in the rentals of business
buildings. Not being familiar with the
Slocumb law, | would be at a loss
to venture an opinion regarding X.
However. | believe the consensus of
opinion among the business fraternity
here would favor the adoption of a
local option law.-Very respectfully,

but fanatics of the worst sort can find
any virtue in the Kansas prohibition
law. Personally | desire to give your

of my commendation, believing that
there is no other interest quite SO
sensible that could be conserved. The
enforcement of the prohibition laws in
Kansas is like the pretended purifica-

Is on" in Wichita. While we have no
a large number of parties who for
merly operated saloons opened up
drug stores, and the only difference that
| can see is that they are not paying
any revenue into the city, whereas
when they were running open saloons
they were paying the city quite a
revenue.
From a business standpoint, | have
nc doubt but what the city Is more
prosperous with open saloons, yet If
the law should be enforced and prohi-
bition actually prohibited, we no doubt
would be able to go ahead and build
up the business interests of our city
to some extent.
The trouble with prohibition In this
state is that 1t does not prohibit. The
town is full of drug stores, joints and
dives, and the quality of the liquor is
very inferior. Some day they may be
able to make the law effective. yet af-
ter over twenty years trial, | must
say that it is a failure as far as the
cities and towns where the sentiment
is largely in favor of open saloons. OF
course in towns where the majority
are in favor of prohibition, the traf-
fic has been restricted to a large ex-
tent, but LIDO not know of any town
of any size in the state where whis-
key and beer cannot be bought in
violation of tie law, either through
drug stores, joints, or b~ootleggers.

HUTCHINSON COMMERCIAL CLUB

Hutchinson, Kan, June 2. 1908. Gen
tlemen-I will reply TO your circular
letter of the 10Th ultimo by giving you
my personal views only. The writer
was travelling over northern Kansas
and southern Nebraska at the time
those states adopted the present law
applying to the liquor traffic, and he
had a good chance to observe the
workings of The two plans. In Lin
coin, Nebraska, high license closed all
but three places, and by requiring ad-
vance payment Of the high license and
the prohibition of screens at doors and
windows, it did away with subterfuges
and sneaking. In Kansas, on the 9TH
er hand, the effects of the law en-
c%ouraged perjury and sneaking, and
a general disregard of law. In my
opinion, which has been confirmed by
the test of time, the Nebraska plan is
the best, both as a true temperance
measure and for its effects upon the
morals of the people.-Yours truly,
L. A. Beebe.

EB1 TIDE OF SOUTHERN PRO-
HlBITION.

II would seem that the strength OF
the prohibition movement In southern
states had begun To wane. The revolt
of the business men of Georgia against
the provisions of the %prohibttory law
which went into effect In that state
last January, owing To the consequent
loss of bus, less, had Its logical effect
In the NJ nination of Joe Brown for
goyerno<. II had It's effect upon thu
voters of Florida, also. In the latter
state, In June, the voters were forced
by the Anti.Saloon League TO choose
between the policy of local option and
that of prohibition. Returns show
the %local-option party won by decisive
majority.
So 1t Is In Louisiana. where the is-
sues were Identical with those In Flor
Ida, the legislature having voted down
the bill for statewide prohibition and
reafflrmed the faith of the people Of
Louisiana In the policy of the license.
local option system. No doubt the
decisive action Of the Louisiana iegiss
lature was In n measure due to the
fiasco in Oklahoma, where, as every
body knows, the people last year at
the ballot box adopted the policy of
statewide prohibition: but. like
Georgia, Oklahoma discovered hat
the policy was injurious to business
and failed to keep liquor from the
black man as ii was intended to dod
This Is why oklahoma discarded It

something like that of South Carolina,
which has been partially successful in
keeping whiskey ont of the hands Of
the blacks, while at the same time per-
hitting the white men to get all the IL
quor they want. The auditor Of the
South Carolina dispensary says in a
recent letter that the dispensary sys-
TEN abolished the saloon at county
cross roads, thereby depriving the
black man of easy access to forty.rod
whlskey The auditor says further
that the ~dispensary does not not and
never has lessened the total amount
of liquor consumed In South Carolina.
The latest and most important failure
of the prohibition policy IN the South
was hat of Tennessee. The result
was most decisive. The issue was
joined by the leading men of the state
and made paramount in the recent
campaign.
The upshot OF the whole movement
throughout the South is that the en-
lightenment which comes from actual
experience is educating the voters 10
a knowledge of the fact that the only
practical means for controlling the
liquor traffic is through the enactment
of laws similar to the Sloeumb license,
local option law OF Nebraska. said to
be the best law for the control of the
liquor traffic ever written.

of the raise we are $500 short and

A NEBRASKA OBSERVER.

Kilnball, Neb, May 20, 1908. Gen
tlemen-The little town in which |
lived in Kansas was what was termed
a "wet" town. For many years we had
two joints, operated under the fine
levy system. Every month the marshal
arrested the joint keepers. for selling
liquor illegally, and they paid a fine
of $50 and costs per month. A preach
er came along and put them out of
business. After that there was more
drunkenness, and the formerly good
town became dead. The large number
of farmers who formerly came to town
went to other places. With the open
saloon the "city dads" of whom | was
one, could control the sale of liquor,
close the places on Sunday and at II
O'Clock p. M, and at any time regulate
them and say who should not get
liquor. After they were closed, the
bootleggers got busy, and we never
could in any case lay our finger ON
the culprit. More than that, u
streets soon showed the effects of cut
ting off the license revenue-$1 200 il
year. The city went in debt, and IS
in debt today, although the same
amount of liquor is consumed. | live
in a "dry" town now and am not a user
of liquor. but | would much rather see
a saloon run under proper control
than a drug store or bootlegger under
capital city of Kansas, there is nor
liquor sold by drug stores than one
would imagine. l was a delegate in
the Republican state convention which
nominated Governor Hoch Qm
ashamed of it, and in nearly every
block on Kansas avenue there were
from one to six drug stores, all Of
which sold liquor and paid no license,
and many of them had bars In the
back room. The worst hell-hole in
Topeka was in the g Hotel, the
headquarters of both parties and |
actually saw men fighting to get stand
ing room at a dirty bar where stale
beer was dished up in shiny glasses as
fast as four men could draw it. These
things make n sick of prohibition
which does not now, nor never did,

ter in Des Moines, Iowa, when that
state had prohibition, and saw the
same conditions. know these things
from personal observation, as I used
to drink some mgself.--Very respect.
fully, r. D. Wilson, Editor.
p. S.-The fact simmered down is
this: Whether we shall have the Slo-
cumb law as it now stands and the
license money iii our treasures, or
whether the same amount of liquor
is used and the money all go to the
seller. The drinking nan will drink,
no matter what the law. Isn't it bet
ter that a part of his spendings do
some good to the public, and isn't 1t
better that the fellow who sells It to
him be refused the right to give him
more than he should have?
