THE NATIONAL PRoHIBITIoNIsT

i Z L
$14,372 665.95. The showing, then, for the
twenty-five months is gain of 351 percent or
$3,7S6,50S
Since the joints were closed two banks
and one new trust company have been organized
and are now successfully in operation During
the recent financial panic, not a single bank in
Kansas City, Kansas, failed or suspended. This
is the more remarkable when conditions in Kan
City, Missouri remembered.
In considering the official finances of the city
it needs to be remembered that the city was
drawing blood money revenue reaching almost
$780, 900 every year When thief stops stealing,
or one who lives from vice abandons vice, the
problem of living, of course presents itself
Neither an individual nor city can be honest
and virtuous and at the same time have the easy
money" that comes from dishonesty and vice.
Kansas City has lost its joint revenue, but Kan
sas City was not ruined thereby.
In point of fact, the situation not one of
unalloyed prosperity when the joints were voted
out When DR.. Geo. NJ Gray became mayor in
December, 1906, five months after the joints
were closed, he IOuHu the CITY Will outStdHuillS
certificates of Indebtedness to the amount of
$171,979.29. He found Judgments outstanding
against the city, all antedating the closing of the
joints, to the amount of $7e,74oo5.
Under such conditions the city's finances needed
careful handling, and they have been handled
carefully and successfully that today the ctys
financial condition is better than at any time in
the past Bonds have been issued to take up
floating indebtedness, and the city is today upon
a cash paying basis. The city's bonds have been
purchased by the banks at premium, in spite of
the statrnent of the liquor interests that the
banks are afraid to carry city paper. The city is
not mired in slough of debt; the bonds issued
have been issued, not to pay running expenses
but to extricate the city's finances from con-
dition into which they plunged by the adj
ministrations which tolerated the joints and lived
today is lo7ver than it zUas under the joint regime.
The cutting down of the police force is
speciously told story inconsistent with the facts
in the case.
In November 1905, many months before the
closing of the saloons, the police force of this
city numbered ffty-four patrolmen, six
geants six detectives, captain and chief In
the following year sixteen patrolmen were dis
pensed with Two dropped the next year.
In January of the present year eight patrolmen
and one additional detective added to the
force The total decrease in the force, therefore,
amounts to nine men and, under the improved
conditions, this force has been amply adequate to
deal with all the needs of the city for police

JOINT mad from one TO a nal1 dozen gaillDn4 Siot
machines, taking thousands of dollars in nickels
and dimes and quarters from the pockets of men
and boys. There were at least ten regular gam
bling houses running in the city, much OF the
time wide open, boys being admitted well as
men. Policy games were in operation from time
to time and a racing poolroom operated openly.
How much of private graft these various in
stitutions paid to public officials it is impossible
to say. 1t is we'll known fact that the pool
paid $4,000 year to the city treasury. The
other gambling dens paid various sums at various
times under various administrations. The joints,
under system of nominal arrest and fine, which
varied according to the administration in power,
paid from $50 to $500 each per month, averaging
at least $4,000 per year to the city treasury.
The appointment of c. w. Trickett as special
assistant attorney general for Wyandotte county
resulted in the suppression of all this lawless-
ness, the closing of these saloon and the clean
ing out of the gambling joints, together with a,
host of immoral resorts. Today the liquor bust
ness has no foothold in Kansas City, Kansas,
except in the shape of very few obscure boot
leggers and the wagon delivery which comes
over the border from Kansas City, Missouri, I'm
der the protection of the United States inter
state commerce laws.
Concerning the results of this policy the brew
ers have made a series of misrepresentation.
The article which was published in the Wash
ington Post opened with this paragraph:
"a city of one hundred thousand popua-
ton, bankrupt, its business demoralized and
crime increasing daily, without single ray
of hope for the future-this is Kansas City,
Kansas, today
The various charges and Misrepresentation
made by the liquor interests may be summarized
as follows:
That the enforcement of the prohibitory
law has reduced the business of the whole
city to state of bankruptcy
That the city government is running be-
hind in its finances.
That taxes are higher now than before the
Joints" were closed.
That the city is mired in slough of debt.
That since the Joints closed the
city has voted $4,000 in bonds to pay the
running expenses of the city.
That the police force is so small that it is
entirely inadequate to properly patrol the
town.
That the fire department is maintained at the
lowest possible standard.
That to enforce Prohibition injunction
proceedings were brought against owners OF
Joint property and the expense OF hundreds
of trials thrown upon the county.
That there are than 400 vacant store
rooms in Kansas City, Kansas.
That there have been more murders each
year since the Joints" were closed than be-
fore that time.
That the working not buying
The national prohibitionist. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1907-1911, 1908-03-26

The fire department of the city, about which
the liquor interests have circulated numerous
reports, has been maintained at state of eff
cheney There are more men employed by the
department today than when the joints were
ming, and the men are paid, not as the liquor
circulars have reported, by the business corpora
tons, but by the city, from money obtained by
legitimate taxation 1t is, hoaVeVer, a fact that
at one time during the joint regime, conditions
in this city acre such that the business corbo-
rations acre obliged to contribute to pay the
fire department.
During the year 1907 the fire losses of the city
were more than $1,000 less than during the
year 1906.

Getting thin below the belt line is the
most important thing to the woman who
has let herself 60. In most cases the fat
settles in the chin also. Unless her belt
is small and her chin shapely she is out Of
the running from beauty's standpoint.
To begin massagng the chin is one Of
the steps in the first days work. The i'm

ITO make a quick change from ugliness
to beauty is what most women want. They
desire the services OF a fairy godmother
TO make them look younger and prettier
than they really are. And the fairy god
mother will do it for them If properly
entreated.
"A young woman who makes up her
customers for fine occasions was hastily

THE young beauty exponent looked
upon her and sighed. The patients skin

and the very expression Of her face was
drawn.
