Again, prior TO 1880 the death rate in

that of the other states has slightly in

years of prohibition had something 10 do
with this?
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
stronger and more athletic than the other
soldiers. Don't you think prohibition in
Kansas had something to do with this
Then over in the Philippines, in the long
marches, for the capture of Aguinaldo,
the accounts showed that no other troops
could endure forced marches and fa-
tiguing trips over swamps and mountains
like the Kansas boys, and company after
company dropped out until only the
Twentieth Kansas was left. This was
the reason that the Twentieth Kansas
boys had the honor of capturing Aguin-
aldo. Don't you think that thirty years
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, 1874.
am inclined to think that prohibition
had something to do in producing sit
uation where in 1907 Kansas sent $780,
100000 to New York City to stay the
panic, while Missouri did not send dol
lar.
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-
tions of its state per 100000 people than
any other state in the Union except
North Dakota and North Carolina. This
is from the advance sheets Of the Census
Bulletin.

A Police Problem Now.
Since then the enforcement of the law
has been problem of police. Localities
there are still where the county and city
officers are not in sympathy with the
law, and won't turn a hand to help en-
force it except just enough to keep clear
of an custer suit by the Attorney General
for neglect of duty; but nowhere
throughout our borders is there an open
saloon; nor can even a secret saloon OPP
crate in Kansas for thirty minutes after
the facts concerning it's location come to
my desk.
That there is some illicit selling in
Kansas is undeniable. 1t will continue
in sporadic manner so long as men are
willing to take the risk of going to jail
if caught, and so long as federal judges
permit their courts to be a refuge for
petty crooks who pretend be engaged
in interstate commerce. Our laws do not
and no state law can prevent men from
bringing in liquors from other states,
nor from drinking liquors thus procured.
Congress can forbid this traffic into pro
hbition territory, and such bill is now
pending and every voter can assist us by
writing to his congressman to favor this
bill.

Prohibition Has Driven the Sa
looms Out of Politics.

Prohibition has taken politics out of
the saloons, and has driven the saloon
out of politics. 1t has made our poor
houses a liability instead of an asset. 1t
has abolished illiteracy. 1t has made us
the wealthiest of states per capita. 1t
has demonstrated that the saloon is not
a business, but that it is parasite on
business. 1t has demonstrated that while
the saloon at night time, with its bright
lights, its 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 a business.
1t is a gold brick Prohibition has dem
onstrated that revenue from crime and
license is a bad business proposition.
AT the close of our law enforcement
campaign in Bourbon county, Fort Scott
commenced to improve its churches, Y.
NJ. C. A. and other properties and in
short time they spent 100000 in this
work. The cleanup in the city financial
ly and commercially was equally as
great. A number of big religious revivals
followed the cleaning up-so successful
that LOO converts were added to the
church life of that city, over half of them
being men and boys.

Every Political Party in Kansas
y Stands for Prohibition.

Prohibition in Kansas has 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,
so 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
tinguished daughter of Illinois, Frances
L. Willard, when she said:
"Kansas is away out on the picket line
of progress, where mortal commonwealth
has never gone before. 1t may be called,
with entire proprety, the state of First
Things-the pleasant garden plat on
which God tries experiments with hui
manity, to see how large and free we are
capable of growing"

Some of the Results of Prohibition
in Kansas.

Every town has its 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 100000
more / know about this because it is
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 700
newspapers and magazines in Kansas,
less than dozen carry any whskey adj
vertising whatsoever. Illiteracy has been
reduced from 40 per cent to less than 2
per cent and that triiiing amount is al
most entirely among the foreign element
in our mining regions of the southeast.
Prohibition and Delinquents.
With 105 counties in the state 81 OF
them have no insane, "a have no feeble
minded, 90 have no inebriates and the

jails were empty; 65 counties had no
prisoners serving sentence. Some eoun-
ties have not called jury to try crim-
inal case in ten years, and grand jury
is so uncommon that half of our people
wouldn't know what it is. In my home
county in Western Kansas there has
never been but one grand jury in its his

ago.
Prohibition Makes Kansas the Richest
State in the Union.
In 1880 the bank savings deposits were
$30,0OO,ooO. Today they are $20o,oo0,-
900.
In 1880 when prohibition was adopted,
and prior thereto, Kansas was an exceed
ingly poor state. During some of those
years collections were taken up in the
east to keep some of the people from
starving. We have had prohibition for
thirty years, and during that thirty
years it has become the richest state in
the Union per capita. In this state the
assessed valuation of property for taxa
ton is sufficient to give every man, wom-
an and child in the state $1,700. The av-
erage wealth in the nation is only $1,000,
and in Missouri, whiskey state, along
side of Kansas. their assessed valuation

IA Inc fashions-and you all know
what they mean-a six cylinder auto
mobile and a stranger in our midst
from the country were the dramatis
personae in a fall curtain opener that
electrified pedestrians on the White
hall viaduct at the luncheon hour. The
play turned out humorously, and 1t is
probably that all the cast are living
happily ever afterward. Just the
same, the gentleman from the country
gazed for a moment over the brink
Of eternity.
1t all happened at the crest Of the
noon halt in business. At the Ala
bama street end of the viaduct the
throng was thick and busy.
There came along, with the grace of
a Godiva and clad almost as snugly
as one, a member of the feminine pop
ulation of Atlanta adorned in the ex-
treme fashion of today as 1t applies
to the softer sex. You understand
about those tight skirts, of course.
Well, the young woman had on a
tight skirt, and then soma. 1t was as
