The Prohibition Argument.

So far as we have been able to
observe Statewide prohibition is
enforced in Kansas rather better
than in any other commonwealth.
A recent cursory investigation
discloses the fact that whisky is
still sold and drunk to excess in
the State. Even in the capital
city the bootlegger and speak
easy are said to be discoverable.
Drunken men are seen. Evil
IDENTIFY Statewide prohibition has
not stopped the use and abuse of
alcohol.
Yet, in the opinion of expert
enced observers. a movement to
repeal prohibition would be de-
cisively defeated. A fine, rud-
dy-faced, outstanding, deep
chested farmer, who appeared to
be of Teutonic descent, and con-
sequently could hardly have in
herited a bigoted view of the
subject, put it this way:
Yes, a man can get whisky
and get drunk in Kansas if he's
bound to. 1t may be true that
some men who are bound to will
drink more out of a bottle than
they would over a bar. But you
see when a man reaches the
stage where he is bound to have
whisky or bust, you can't do
much for him, anyway. And if
you ask that man he'll probably
tell you that he got the whisky
habit from visiting saloons for
sociability. It's the boys we are
thinking of. We believe a nor
NAL boy isn't very apt to get a
whisky habit out of a bootleg
gers bottle. Nine times out of
ten, if he gets the habit at all,
it will be by dropping into sa-
with his friends for a social glass.
$50 far as the hardened soak
is concerned. maybe our law is a
failure; but the hardened soak
is a failure. too. We don't want
to bring up fresh crop. Out
in my locality resubmission would
be defeated two to one. - Satur-
