Blessings Of Prohibition

"You people who live and stay here
your prohibitory law is" said Harold
Mcintosh, a civil engineer who was in
Topeka yesterday visiting friends. Mr..
Mcintosh is former Kansan. He
was reared at Highland, little town
in Doniphan county. He was in South
America on engineering work Tor
several years. He has been here and
there over the country in and around
railroad camps and has seen the need
for strict liquor laws.
81 never realized while | was in
Kansas" he said, the value of the law.
| never thought much about it. But
the more time | spend in states where
there are open saloons the better
pleased l am when l get back to Kan
sas.
eff there is any doubt in the minds
of Kansas people as to whether the
prohibitory law is good investment
| should think one look at the Santa
FEES new office building and its i'm
mense shops here would dispel it.
have no doubt the prohibition law of
Kansas had considerable to do with
the Santa FEES decision to make this
its permanent headquarters. | am no
prohibition crank either"
Mr.. Mcintosh is now with the Rock
Island on construction work in Iowa.
