Prohibition Helps Private Credit.

siElh-Prohibill-n has worked won
dcrs Ia the private crcdr OF the
state Groccrs and butchers tell me
that men who were dead beats"
under the drain OF the saloons have
become debtors OF reliability and
standing. and bad accounts are a
rarity. Garnishmcnt cases have
practically disappeared from the
courts.
A striking instance of this fact Is
the experience OF Kansas city. Kan.
where previous to the rigid enforce
m.nt OF the prohibi,ory law there
Was garnishmcnt court running
from morning to piyht lcyyinH upon
the wages OF the iaboring men OF
that city. Within ninety days after
the abolishment OF the saloon this
court went ou, Of business and there
never has been any need for II since.
Public Expenses Lower.
Sc,cnth--t assert that the charge
Of higher public expenses. on ac'
count Of prohibition. Is particularly
untrue. A bulletin issued ly the
census department makes really
wonderful revelation In favor Of pro
hibition. II shows that the general

Kansas short on Idiots.

Tenth assert that Kansas Is
more free from mental and nervous
diseases than any other state In the
union. and that authenticated scien-
tific facts will prove that our TEN.
perance policy for thirty years is
largely responsible for this condition.
Kansas has fifty.four counties with
out an idiot. 1t has eighty-seyen coun-
ties without an insane inmate. Cook
county alone sends more OF her peo-
pie to insane hospitals at Dunning
than Kansas has In all her charitable
institutions OF every sort. including
blind. d1f and dumb. insane. inebri-
ates. feeble minded. incorrigibles and
orphans. With twenty per cent OF
the population OF New York. Kansas
has less than ten per cent OF its in

Prohibition the Friend OF Education

that wherever temperance is observed
