Or PROHIBITION IN KANSAS

has ruined public credit; caused in
tolerable taxation; destroyed indus
tries; discouraged development; effe-
minated The people and reduced them
to pauperism; upset social relations,
and so on throughout a long list Of
statements equally faise and absurd.
These charges are true or they are
not true. They are based on facts or
they are utterly without Foundation.
On my honor as a man, and upon
my woJl as the chief executive of
nearly two million sovereign people l
say to you they are UNANIMOUSLY con-
ceived and maliciously false. The
saloon men are in desperate straits
and are simply trying to deceive peo-
pie who are aroused by their crimes
that the system may be kept up The
same devices were resOrted to by the
friends of slavery in this country but
Illinois produced a citizen who brought
out the truth and proved to the world
that the country could get along bet
ter without the national curse of SER
vitude. I want to tell you the truth
about prohibition in Kansas:
First assert that drunkenness in
Kansas has been reduced to such a
point that have not seen a drunken
man in the city of Topeka, a place VI
$4,000 inhabitants, during the last
twelve months; tn t I do not have any
recollection of having seen a drunken
man in my home city Nof Lawrence, q
place Of $4,000 people for several
years;e that in making a campaign
throughout the entire state and de-
liverng public addresses in go couu-
ties + do not recall seeing a drunken
man during the year"
Relative to the proper enforcement
of the prohibition law, after officially
consulting every County in the state
the Governor has the following to
say:
This does not mean that we. have
no violations of the prohibitory law
for if there were no violations such z
law would not be necessary. 1t does
mean that the prohibitory law ii
Kansas is as we'll enforced as Other
criminal statutes, and that when mer
violate it they are arrested, convict
ed and promptly sent to prison.
81 assert that the prohibltory law
is now as easily enforced as any 9th
err law on the statute book. have

EDITOR THE TRIBUNE:

EDITOR THE TRIBUNE:
Dear sir:-so many deprecatory
conclusions relative to the working
of prohibitory measures in the DRY
States" have found their way into
public print without apparently any
authority to commend them, that l
have taken the liberty to address pri,
vate communications to the Cove
nors Of Kansas and Maine, the repre-
sentative states, for accurate infor-
nation relative to the effectiveness Of
such measures I beg to submit The
results to your readers:
. The following are from the speech
of Governor Stubs of Kansas, de-
livered in Chicago, March goth, 1910,
and sent me from the Executive
Chamber as a complete expression
from that high official quote there
from:
There Is nothing radical or unrea-
sOnable in helping a weak man to car
~ his weeks wages nome to his wife
ON Saturday night; there is nothing
fanatical in enabling her to send her
children to school with good clothes,
good shoes and a good dinner in the
little basket.
Prohibition serves the child as well
as the man. 1t is for the wife rs
well as the husband. 1t is for So
ciety as well as for the individual. 1t
Is for the government as well as t1r
the governed. In Kansas it pays the
doctor his bills, the lawyer his fees,
the pastor his salary. 1t helps the
milkman, the farmer, the baker, the
butcher, the grocer, the newsboy, the
dentist. the book store, the photogra-
pher, the tailor, the dressmaker, the
merchant and the manufacturer. This
is why the people Cf our state are SO
thoroughly committed to its support
Opposition to it has practically ceas-
ed in every quarter. Every politi-
cal party in the state has publicly de-
clared for the strict enforcement OF
the law.
"But here in Chicago and through
out the United States the brewers dis
tillars and saloon keepers, their at
torneys and retainegs are telling N
posters, pamphlets and speeches that
prohibition increases crime in Kan
sas; that it is making a large crop
of perjurers and hypocrites; that II
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1910-04-30

letters from 20 of the SO district judges
of the state. These letters are sub
stahtially of the same character and
fully confirm my statements"
Such official statements issuing from
the Chief Executive of the State
should certainly have more weight
than the deprecatory conclusions from
imperfect data of those who have not
found the pTohibitory movement effec-
tive in some remote corner.
Again, the same high official, says
in contradiction to, all such superb
cial conclusions:
"The people of Kansas are very
progressive, very positive and intense
ly practical in their ideas and habits.
If the prohibitory law had not given
us a better civilization and higher
type of manhood and womanhood it
would have been repealed years ago.
If it had increased drunkenness, crime
and perjury, as saloon men claim It
has done, the saloon keepers would
all be supporting the la winstead OF
fighting it, for it would increase their
revenue.
while l am not an expert in the
affairs of the local government of Chi
cago, l venture the assertion that con-
ditions which are due largely to the
saloon and kindred evils of society
constitute your most disturbing and
distracting problems. Usually cities
having an ambition to solve such pro-
blems, commission delegations of its
wisest and best citizens, to investigate
the treatment of them problems by
other communities. AS chief execu-
tive of my state it would give me
great pleasure to welcome delegations
from Chicago to Kansas far the ,pur-
pose of showing them the results of
prohibition. We have had commits
sioners from Canada, New Zealand
and Australia and. even now the gov
ernInents of Italy and Russia are in
vesdgating our methods of dealing
with this evil, the greatest social and
governmental problem on the face of
the earth today.
IF wisdom should cause you to send
such a delegation to Kansas l will
guarantee they will not find a bust
ness man of standing in the state who
will not testify that prohibition is the
best business asset of Kansas"
AS a fitting corroboration to these
conclusions of the Chief Executive
comes that of the Chief Justice OF
the Supreme Court of the same state
Hon. w. A Johnston, who writes:
Topeka, Kan, March "a, 1919
Hon. w. R Stubs, Topeka, Kansas
Dear Govefnor:-In response TO
your inquiry, l will say, Judging from
the litigation before our court the
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1910-04-30

prohtbitory law was enforced at first
with some difficulty. Public opinion
and greater experience, however, APP
pears to have overcome that difficulty
and the law, although transgressed
occasionally, is now effectually en-
forced and with no s1ore opposition or
difficulty than other laws prohibiting
and Furnishing ordinary Offenses. The
closing of the saloons and joints has
had an excellent effect upon the mo-
rails and material interests of the peo-
pie of the state. Among the conse-
quences of prohibition are, better
homes, happier families, higher STAN
dards Of intelligence and education
and of course, a great reduction in
crime. No statement or proof is
needed to support.the claim that these
results follow the closing of saloons
and the effective enforcement of the
prohibitory law. They are the ma
tural and inevitable results and these
have been realized in Kansas.
yours very truly,
w. A. JOHNSTON,
Chief Justice of the Supreme Court
of Kansas"

issue, with your permission.

Capt. Jos. T. Griffith was born

tween the States, he with his young
wife and family, moved to Duff

in the Dufield Rifles. Co. ii. 2nd
Regiment Va. Vol. Infantry.
After serving for sometime with
ms regiment he was detailed for
special services in Quartermaster

States army. in connection with
the army under Gen. Jos. +.
Johnston. Later he was ordered
To the army of the Tennessee and
promoted to captaincv in the

arduouS and honorable service he
resumed his duties ss a citizen

number of years he carried on a
large business as merchant and
dealer in grain. Upon his retire
ment from this business he was
elected Commissioner OF the Reve-
nue. for the County. holding the

10y their re-electing him as often
As he offered for the place. When

coming 10 Bcrryville, with the
church here. As member of the

and liberal. ever seeking to help
the poor and needy. As Camp

zen we shall miss him. His church
will miss him. and above all others
