WHAT PROHIBIT|ONHAS
DONE FOR KANSAS
And What 1t Will Do
for Tennessee

Some people are saying prohibition il
failure in Tennessee, that it does moi
prohibit, that it cannot be enforced il
the large cities, that it is breeding law
lessness, that it is retarding the progress
of the State, that it is not a political
question, that it should be taken out OF
politics, and SO on, and on, and on!
If an ounce of prevention is worth a
pound of cure, thirty years of experience
with prohibition in Kansas ought to be
worth dozen political campaigns and
the arguments and theories of an army
of liquor politicians.
Everybody knows that the liquor in
terests have been working since the en-
aetment of the anti-liquor laws in 1909
to discredit prohibition in Tennessee
On the basis of the lawlessness, which
they have produced, they are working
like beavers to elect legislature, which
they can rely on to overthrow the will
of the people and repeal the anti-liquor
laws.
The Anti-Saloon League wants every
voter in Tennessee to know that there
is uOG Single IedSoHj WHICH, JIG il4Uol
politicians are offering for the repeal OF
these laws, which will stand in the face
of facts. The address, which is published
in the following abridged form, was de-
hvered in April of this year in the
Auditorium Hotel, Chicago, by Hon. }.
S. Dawson, the Attorney General OF
Kansas.
There is not an argument, now being
made for the repeal of these laws, which
is not completely met in the experience
of the Sunflower State. Let every foe
of the liquor traffic read this address
and re-read it. Let much of it be mem
orized, so that the arguments of the
enemy can be met on the spot. The
Anti-Saloon League will be glad to fur
nish this in pamphlet form to those
friends of temperance who would like
to distribute it among their friends
especially in those counties where the
legislative fights are hot:

Cause of Prohibitory Amendment OF
Kansas.
The prohibitory amendment which was
passed by the legislature in 1879 was
really the work of the liquor interests
The temperance forces of the House OF
Representatives had outlined strong pro-
gram of restrictive legislation and
checked it up to the senate, which was
dominated by the whiskey men. As a
back-fre to this drastic program, the sen
ate pigeon-holed the house bills, and in
lieu thereof passed and sent over to the
House resolution to submit a prohib |
itory amendment to the state constitu
ton. In so doing the whiskey sympathiz'
ers thought to show their constituents
that they were the true friends of tenn
perance, and that the House members
were the obstructionists to temperance
legislation. But the temperance leaders
of the House looked it over, and said;
This is more than we asked for and bet
ter than we expected, and we will just
take what the whiskey senate has
checked up to u.s." And they passed the
bill When the Senate learned that the
House had also adopted the resolution.
the liquor men resorted to every strategy
to procure the recall of it, but to nc

ment was submitted to the voters in
1880; and you do not need to be told
what the people of Kansas did ON cleo
ton day. They carried the amendment
to victory with thousands of votes to
spare. That was in November, 1880, and
the legislature which met the following
January enacted laws in harmony with
the amendment and to prescribe punish
ment for its violation.

Prohibition Produces the Best Soldiers in
the Country.
In Cuba and the invasion of Santiago
by the American army, when the final
charge was ordered, Colonel Roosevelt
placed the Kansas boys in the front, on
the ground that they were physically
stronger and more athletic than the other
soldiers. Don't you think prohibition in
Kansas had something to do with this

of prohibition in Kansas did have some
thing to do with producing the young
manhood physically capable of enduring
more than could the young manhood Of
the whiskey states?
The statistics at Washington show the
consumption of intoxicating liquors in
Kansas to be $1.4s per capita, in Mis-
souri, $24.

During the last twenty years Kansas
has increased in population more than
any of the surrounding states. In fact,
Iowa and Missouri have decreased, if we
except and eliminate the growth in st.
Louis and Kansas City, Mo.
Kansas has fewer commitments to the
penitentiary and jails and penal institu-

any other state in the Union except
North Dakota and North Carolina. This

Prohibition Has Driven the Sa-
looms Out of Politics.
Prohibition has taken politics out of
The commercial. (Union City, Tenn.) 190?-193?, 1912-10-25

the saloons, and has driven the saloon
out of politics. 1t has made our poor
houses liability instead of an asset. It
has abolished illiteracy. It has made us
the wealthiest of states per capita. It
has demonstrated that the saloon is not
business but that it is parasite on
business. 1t has demonstrated that willis
the saloon at night time, with its bright
| lights, it's nude and lewd pictures, with
its men going in and out, may look like
business, when the inventory Is taken at
the end of the year, it is not business.
1t is a gold brick. Prohibition has dem.
onstrated that revenue from crime and
license is bad business proposition.
At the close of our law enforcement
campaign in Bourbon county, Fort Scott
commenced to improve it's churches, Y.
M. G. A. and other properties and in q
short time they spent 100000 in this
work. The cleanup in the city financial
ly and commercially was equally az
great. A number of big religious REVEALS
followed the cleaning up-so successful
that 100 converts were added to the
church life of that city, over half of them
being men and boys.
Every Political Party in Kansas
Stands for Prohibition.
Prohibition in Kansas las forced the
political parties to make it a part of
every party's policy in the state 1t has
become the business policy of the cities,
30 that keeping the joints and dives and
brothels out of cities is as much the bust
ness policy of the average citizen as the
keeping of the streets clean, water pure,
and the public parks attractive.
Prohibition has put Kansas away out
on the firing line of human progress; or,
maybe l should say that Kansas has
solved for the benefit Of the whole world
the greatest civic problem of the ages.
1t has demonstrated that the solution of
the saloon problem is no saloon. This is
perhaps better expressed by the most dis.

Some of the Results of Prohibition
in Kansas.
But what is the net result of thirty
years of prohibitions That is the test
of its value. How has the state and its
people thrived during the maintenance Of
this system? Let us see. According tt
federal statistics drinking and drunken
ness has shrunk 1000 per cent in Kansas
as compared with Missouri.
In thirty years Kansas has forged
ahead from an Insignificant place in ma
tional affairs to one of front rank. Oul
frontier villages have grown into SPLEEN

Prohibition and Education.
Every town has It's high school, Almost
third of the entire population is enrolled
in public or private schools. We have &c.,
100000 worth of school buildings and
public endowment funds of $10,000,00o
more. | know about this because it ia
part of my public duties to keep these
funds invested. The growth and extent
OF the private and UNCONVENTIONAL schools
is correspondingly large. With over zoo

reduced from 40 per cent to less than 2
per cent and that trihing amount is al.
most entirely among the foreign element

Prohibition and Delinquents.
With 1O5 counties in the state 81 OF
them have no insane, "a have no feeble,

which defed the law to the very last.

This time the slip intended for the Gus

OF the coal, and the slip intended for
the city inspector, which gave the real
weight, both fell into the hands of the
inspector. The customer was being
cheated out Of several hundred pounds

slips showed that the cheating was

CRAFTS OR INDUSTRIES.

As the contest between the Indus
trial Workers of the World and the
American Federation Of Labor be-
comes sharper more will be heard OF
the question Of organizing workmen
by industries rather than by crafts,
upon which the radicals and conserva-
tiyes in union labor circles divided at
the Rochester convention. The Indus
trial Workers favor organization by in
dustries, and with this method Of
unionizing they are able 70 make head
way where the older organization has
failed. The chief supporters Of indus
trial unlonism at Rochester were the
miners unions, the Western Fedora
tion Of Miners and the United Mine
Workers. They maintained that the
.rganization Of the mines would have
Seen impossible on any other than the
industrial basis. The Western Fedora.
ton Of Miners has old affiliations with
Haywood. and some OF the defeated
radicals threaten TO 80 over to the
Haywood organization.
The conservatism which supports
the present organization, according to
crafts. Is not conservatism In respect
Of organized labOr's methods or policy
with regard TO capital. 1t is the con-
servatism Of vested interests" In or
