r KANSAS TOWNS.

Dexter. Kan, May 81. 1908. Gentle
men-ln answer to yours OF the Goth,
will say that | think an open saloon,
run right, is better than having the
liquor sold by drug stores and boot
leggers, and having it shipped in by
car lots. You cant buy any liquor
that is fit to drink in one drug store
out of fifty, and of curse the drug
gists pay no license. There are more
DRINKS than when we have a saloon.
l have been Mayor of our city two
terms. and know what | am talking
about.-Yours truly. d. A. Hale.
Beattie, Kan, June 16, 1908. Gentle
men-As per request, l will give you
my personal view on prohibition, and
1t is simply this: prohibition does not
prohibit in Kansas. In my opinion, the
only way to enforce the law would be
either to stop the manufacture, or stop
the government from issuing license
for the sale of intoxicating liquor IN
a prohibition state. | will say further
that | lived in Nebraska ten years,
and l consider the Slocumb law far
hncdu VI pIOulUlllOu.- OURS truly, w.
W. Mcmahon.
Beattie. Kan, June IS. 1908. Gentle
men-1n regard to prohibition in Kan
sas will say prohibition does not pro-
hibit.-here at least. We have never
had prohibition in this county. We
have always had at least two dives
selling booze In this town, from which
the city derives al solutely no benefit.
| believe Mr.. Wilson is right in every
particular, and that nine out of ten
business men prefer local option and
license to prohibition.-Respectfully
yours, Joseph Baer, Cashier.
Altoona, Kan, June /, 1908. Gentle
men-In reply to yours Of the 29th, /
am not familiar with the Slocumb law,
but | am constitutionally opposed to
prohibition that does not prohibit.
The C. o. D.. packages have been
stopped at this point. but now bills Of
lading are sent to the banks and the
wet goods expressed or freighted.
While, personally. l am a believer in
law enforcement, yet In this state, in
my opinion, the prohibitory law is
damaging to civilization, because it
fails to prohibit.-Very truly, c. A.
Noll, Manager.

ALLEGED PROHIBITION.
Oklahoma City Wide Open and Be
coming More so Daily.
Especial to State Capital.)

Especial to State Capital.)
Oklahoma City, Okla, July THAT
the lid is being gradually loosened in
this city and the number of DRINKS
appearing before Police Judge High
ley rapidly increasing Is shown by the
police records. Police Judge Highley
says that the prohibition law Is being
violated more openly now than at any
time since statehood.
Twelve men pleaded guilty In police
court to intoXication today. All were
fined without any inquiry as to where
they had procured their 10y water"
prohibition is all right on paper,
but in reality it isn't working, as the
police records show" said Judge
Highley today. while | haven't fined
half the DRINKS since prohibition that
| did before. the number Is steadily
increasing and there are no signs of
the lid being clamped down tighter"
In Oklahoma prohibition prohibits
about the same as elsewhere. On the
eastern or Indian Territory side of the
state. saloons are running openly, and
throughout the state at large 1000 per-
son hold federal licenses to sell wills
ky, while bootleggers are plying their
trade elsewhere.

A FEW FIGURES.

New York Morning Telegraph.)
The figures of the Internal Revenue
Department, which are incontrovert-
IDLE, show that the consumption of al
coholic liquors, so far from decreas-
ing, has steadily increased in every
part of the country. These figures.
which render a terrific indictment
against the Anti-Saloon League, de.
serve your attention.
THE Anti-Saloon League was or
ganized in 1898. In that year the con-
sumption of distilled spirits was 81
424,825 gallons, or LAG gallons per
capita. In 1907 the consumption of
distilled spirits was 1874, 031, 066.7 gal
Ions, or a per capita consumption Of
1.58.
During the same period of time the
consumption of fermented liquors per
capita increased more than 5h gal
lens.
Thus it may readily be seen that
prohibition does not prohibit, but is a
farce"
The Falls City tribune., 1908-09-18
LET WELL ENOUGH ALONE.

Why all this agitation for the en-.
actment of new laws in regard to the
control of the sale of intoxicating
liquors when We already have the
Slocumb law, one of the best along
this line eyer put in the book? Would
it not be better to fight for the en-
forcement of the laws we already
have rather than to ask for the en-
actment of more laws just to have
them violated? We have good laws,
but by failing to enforce them we de-
rive no benefits therefrom.

NO TIME FOR SIDE ISSUES.
(Plainview Republican,

~(PlainyieW Republican,
The national conventions of the
two great political parties hav-
ing ignored the liquor question it
is probable that the state conventions
will do the same. This is presidential
year and no side issues will be taken
up If it can be avoided. Many people
are convinced that the liquor interests
are sincere in their efforts to put their
business on a better basis and demand
that the retailers observe and obey
the law,

WHAT OF PROHIBITION NOW?

(Beatrice Democrat,)
The theory of the prohibitionists
was hat the hundred thousand dol
lars which. they asserted. were ex-
pended over the bars of the city,
would be diverted from that channel
and used for better purposes. Any.
one who believed that theory can cor
rect his error by DING to the depot
of any railroad entering Beatrice and
seeing the immense quantities of keg
and bottle goods brought In by every
train. While comparatively little
money is being expended for liquor in
Beatrice. the dealers of Fairbury, Lin
coin and WILDER are profting by the
dryness OF this city.
Farmers and others not acquainted
In the city have been unable to buy
liquor for medical purposes and they
have no kindly feeling toward the
present state of affairs.
A purely impartial view Of condi-
tons leads one to believe that prohi-
bition is not as much of a success as
it was considered during the first
month of the new regime. 1t can now
be said that moral conditions are no
better than they were under the sys-
tenn of license and regulation; and a
glance at the tax situation will
quickly convince any unprecedented
person that financial conditions are
not so favorable.
Now the question arises: Would 1t
be wise to extend prohibition as is
proposed by the county option laws
That Is a question the voters must
answer, and first they should examine
conditions under the present local pro,
hibition and decide II the test Of the
past three months has shown a sue
cess which would warrant an extern
sion of the principle.
The Falls City tribune., 1908-09-18
TARcIcAl AND UNFAIR.
lRushville Standard.)

The county option bill provides
that il the county as a whole votes
against prohibition, or any subdi-
vision or precinct in any subdivision
votes for prohibition, prohibition shall
be effective in every precinct or sub
division voting for prohibition, not
wfthstanding the county as 6 whole
or any subdivision larger than a pre-
cinct votes against it. In other words,
IL a county votes wet a precinct or
CITY therein may vote dry, but II the
county votes dry the entire county ia
dry.
II Is farcical and unfair because I,
is submitted to the people to vote or
che question and then say II they vote
one way their votes count, but If the!

POT CALLS KETTLE BLACK.

(Red Cloud OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
Karl Spence. editor of the Bladen
Enterprise, slammed Red Cloud this
week, by saying that there was a large
number of DRINKS in the city. We are
afraid that Karl was looking through
green goggles. as there is not a town
in Nebraska, dry or wet that has as
few DRINKS as Red Cloud does, besides
Bladen isn't SO slow for fights, etc.
and it's dry, too.

(Fullerton News-Journal.)

(FullertOn NeWs-Journal.)
The saloons at Belgrade opened last
Saturday and it is reported that, the
town resembled a Fourth of July cele-
bration. Merchants report is much
business as they have done on any two
Saturdays since the town went dry.
Fullerton was well represented at the
opening and those who were there re-
port that the streets were sure enough
crowded all day.

BUSINESS is GOOD.
Fullerton News-Journal.)

It is said that there were 227
packages Of liquor shipped into
Fullerton in two days last week,
and the Fourth of July supply
was probably not counted in on this
shipment. Over $500 in orders were
taken in one day this week. 1t GER
tainly looks like closing the saloons
does not stop the consumption of red
liquor.

FOR BETTER ENFORCEMENT.
Hundreds of Business Men Have Joined
the Merchants and Manufacturers
Association Under the FOLLOWING

AS business men and d wa
favor the movement to form an AssocIa-
ton OF Merchants and Manufacturers for
the purpose of adopting measures to
bring about a better enforcement of the
Slocumb liquor license law throughout
the stats-a law making 1t optional with
the people of a town or city to say
whether or not liquor shall be sold. We
believe the said law has been Of great
benefit to the state and that there can be
no better means for regulating the sale
of intoxicants. We stand for it's strict
enforcement. We Join this association
with the understanding that no distiller.
brewer, liquor deale or saloon keeper is
eligible to membership. Our object is to
protect property interests from the ill Of.
fects OF unwise legislation"

posed in the last legislature, although
he might favor a law which placed

WHY TOWNS ARE INCORPORATED.

The law books tell us hat towns
and villages We're Incorporated almost
solely to insure the greatest degree
of home rule in local government. A
study of the subject makes it clear
that such incorporation within mar
row limits as to territory was abso-
lutely necessary, for it would be I'M
just to compel the taxpayers of an
entire county to pay the cost of pub
lie utilities of service only to resi-.
dents of the town. This basic idea
Of home rule was inaugurated in Colo
NAL days, and has always distinguished
town governments of America. Now
come the imported agents Of the An
ti-Saloon league who have set to
work to change this ancient order Of
things, and by giving the power to ru-
raj voters to control the domestic at
fairs of villages and towns, they de-
stroy this time-honored principle of
home rule. The scheme is inviting to
the farmer because it gives him q
voice Ia village affairs without re-
curing him to pay taxes for maintain
ing village governments. Yet it is quite
as unjust to permit any town to pool
with several country precincts in an
effort to control the policy of another
town in the county. Let every tub
stand on it's own bottom.

which they also slumped, and could
not make up the tally necessary 20
give them chance at the game.
The scoring of the Diamond Heads
may be counted up to the wise plac-
ing of the men in the batting order,
which speaks well for Fernandez
ability as field captain. After Oh
mos had been thrown out by the willy
Hampton, both Fernandez and Evers
hit, the latter making his Offering a
pretty bunt which took slow trip
toward first sack. and which was
beaten out only by the little short
stops ability in getting away from
the bat. Then both made a sneak
along to the next sack, and Louis hit
safe. Hogs fumbled In fielding the
ball, and the two men crossed over
the plate.
Hampton made the one run for his
own side, walking. stealing, and go
ing to third on Kia's hit, after
which lucky placing of the ball
made 1t impossible to catch him IN
time at the home plate, and he came
over on a iielder's choice. Chilling
worth must feel yet the liner which
Hoogs sent him.
Evers and Kia, outside OF the men
In the batteries, were the bright par
ticular stars of the occasion, as
Jacks beautiful work In the center
garden called forth admiration, and
Evers played great game at short,
which amply proved his right to be
, called the best shortstop In town. He
was covering second most OF the time
as well as his own position, and scor-
ed number of pretty put-outs. some
OF which were not allowed by the um
pire, however. Though Bowers has
usually great eye. there seemed to
be a sentiment Saturday that he was

happened, however, the errors of the

The noticeable point about most Of
the batting in both games was the
