against the sending of liquor advertise
ments through the United States mails.
Resolutions Adopted.
The resolutions adopted by the con-
vention were as follows:
Resolved, That, as a state that has
declared for prohibition, we are entitled
to immunity from the invasions of the
liquor traffic through the continuance
of the federal government to grant
liquor tax receipt stamps to parties
who procure them purposely to violate
state laws; and recognizing the great
need at this time of some relief of the
interstate shipment of liquor into our
state; therefore.
I'VE believe that Kansas should send
to Washington this coming session
John Marshall and ]. K Codding to
go before the committee that considers
the interstate commerce question and
work for such a bill as in their judg
ment will protect prohibition territory.
I'VE protest against sending OF liquor
advertisements through the United
States mail and urge upon the tenn
perance forces a concerted action for
definite legislation against such use of
the mails
Resolved, That we heartily endorse
the public service given by Attorney
General Jackson in demanding vigi-
lance on the part of officers in the en-
forcement of the prohibitory law and
the stand he has taken in the inter
state shipment of liquors; that we ex-
press our most cordial appreciation OF
and gratitude to Assistant Attorney
General c. w. Trickett for effectually
proving to state and nation that prohi-
bition does prohibit and to j. K. Cod
ding and John Marshall for invaluable
service in law enforcement throughout
| the state: and we gladly endorse all
| public officials who have honestly and
substantially aided in the Endorsement

excellent address of J. J. Schenck and
commend him for the success he has
achieved in law enforcement in Shaw
nee county and Topeka, our capital

DIR. Bushnell Speaks. 8
Last night was the last session of
| the convention and as usual the big
| Baptist church was crowded. The
| urincipaI address of the evening was
given by DR.. Albert Bushnell, superin-
| tendent of the Anti-Saloon league of
| Kansas City, Mo. DR.. Bushnell made
a sensation with the audience when
| he gave credit to Carrie Nation for
starting the saloon fight in Kansas
| He said that Attorney General jack
| son and c. w. Trickett were great fac
| tors in the movement but Carrie
| Nation was responsible for the first
rise in public sentiment. He spoke
on 1.-The Grip of the Common Law
obeying the minor details of the laws
| today-if these were obeyed new laws
would be of little use.
| The thirteenth annual convention of
the Kansas State Temperance union
/ has been the most successful in the
history of the organization. Never be-
| fore did the union have such an
array of prominent speakers-me
who were held high in the estimation
of the people and who are of the most
| influential in the nation. Never be-
| fore has the convention been able to
| draw such crowds and create such en-
| thusiasm Never before has such an
| important measure been placed before
the convention and passed upon with
thorough knowledge of the matters
! to be brought up. Never before has
the convention been able to con-
| gratulate itself on the excellent work
of the last few years-Kansas was
never in such a clean and healthy
condition as today The State Tenn
| perance union has a great right to fee
/ proud of the orkthey have accom-
i phshed and the laws they have en-
/ forced. Public officials all over the
state have listened to the wishes OF
the union and they have found then
| correct in accordance with the rea
rights of the laws.
1t looks as though the State Tenn
perance union would support w. r
Stubbs to the last member. Presi
dent Codding of the union said:
mot only are his sympathies il
favor of law enforcement but he /!
a bundle of active energetic go-and
push and as governor he will no
only stand for law enforcement bu
he will go for law enforcement. Hi
administration, in my opinion, will b'
one of the most vigorous ones along
the lines of civic Righteousness anC
law enforcement and cleanliness il
public life of any that Kansas ha!
ever had"
The delegates are leaving the cit1
today and they cannot say too mucl
of the praise they have for theil
treatment while in Topeka.
