large reduction IN CIlHe' AheSe
are the natural and ineventable re-
suits OF prohibition wherever eff
Ifectively enforced. But the best
result of all is the fact that of the
half millioA boys and girls in Kan.
sas only a very small proportion
have ever seen an open saloon.
Children are growing to manhood
and womanhood without the tempta-
ton or evil influence of the saloon.
During the SO years of prohibition
the illiteracy of our people has been
reduced from 40 per cent to 2 per
cent, and this trifting amount is al
most entirely among the foreign
element in the mining section of the
southeast. With los counties in
the State 81 of them have no in
sane. 81 have no feeble-minded,
o6 have no inebristes, and what few
there are come from cities that de-
fed the law until recent years.
There is only one pauper to every
5000 population, and there are SO
county poor farms which have no
inmates. In July, 1911, s. county
jails were empty and IS counties
had no prisoners serving sentence.
Since the establishment of prohibi-
ton the population of Kansas has
increased more than any of the sur
rounding States, and her wealth has
until it has become the
richest State in the Union per cap
tia. Although we suffered one of
the worst droughts in the his
tory of the State last summer, recent
statements from the banks show
that in the $50 State banks there is
on deposit belonging to the people
of Kansas about $I2o, 900, 900, or
about $r9S for every man, woman,
and child in the State.
Until 1909 Kansas permitted drug
stores to sell whisky and other In
toxicating liquors for medical pur-
poses. This privilege was grossly |
abused, and the State Legislature, in
1909, passed law prohibiting the
sale of intoxicating liquor whatever.
The State bank deposits of the state
which had heretofore been gaining
gradually only about million dol
lars a year made sudden increase
Of $I4, 900, 900, or from $50, 900, 900
to $o7, 900, 900 at that time. In
addition to this the lncsease in
wealth within the past ten years has
been at the rate of $I2o, 900, 900
per year. The assessed valuation of
property ror taxation is sufficient to
give every man, woman, and child
in the State $1,000, while the aver
age wealth in the Nation is only |
about 81, 200. Is it not reasonable !
to believe and fair to say that S3
years of prohibition has had some
thing to do with this gaand result?
About three years ago when l was
Judge of the thirty-second judicial
district Of Kansas, was asked to
give my opinion of the effects of the
law in that locality and wrote
letter setting forth my views at that
time. which have not materially
changed, and l desire to read it now
as a part of my remarks on this oc-
casion.
1t is a pleasure to say that convic-
tons are less difficult in my district
for violations of the prohibitory law
than for the violation of any other
r riuinal laws of the State KV a

THURSDAY. APRIL "a, 1913.
WHO CAUSED WEBB LAW?

If those who are engaged in the
liquor traffic had been content to abide
by the laws Of the country and en-
gagged in the traffic in those sections
where it is legal to sell liquor, The
Webb law never would have been en-
acted by congress, but instead Of re
specting the state laws forhiddtng the
sale Of liquors, the liquor dealers took
advantage Of the intercOmmerce law
and shipped from one state into he
dry territory Of another state.
The people Of dry sections found
that they could not prevent the liquor
traffic without the aid Of the federal
governmental least without that
government withdrawing It's protec-
ton from the traffic where it is forbid
den by state laws, and the Webb law
was devised and passed.
1t is d plain, brief statute prohibit-
ing the shipment from one state into
the territory Of another state to ne
used for unlawful purpose, which
means that shipments cannot be made
for sale into sections where the state
law forbids the traffic.
This law undoubtedly was passed in
Difference to a widespread popular de-
presidents veto in both houses Of con-
gress by an overwhelming majority,
clearly indicating that the people
throughout the country wanted such a
law enacted.
The Philadelphia North American
holds he brewers and liquor dealers
responsible for this and similar hos
tile legislation, saying:
The pouring Of liquor into territory
where the local laws saw il shall not
be sold has been carried on under the
Rulse or interstate traf fic and with the
aid of the federal government. II is
to stop this that the Kenyon bill is
The resentment which has
grown out Of this arrOgant policy of the
liquor raffiC has done more than any
other single force to confirm the deem
rooted opposition to the business. = e =
Speaking to the liquor interests, we
say that the more they fight the Ken
yon bill. which represents the will Of
the people, the more it behoOves them
to cast about to find some other busi-
ness for their children to follow. For
as sure as light dispels darkness, the
day is coming when the country will
be awake to the truth that there is
nothing in liquor domination which
Americans will tolerate if they hone
to remain a nation Of free men and
women.
OF course the Webb law would ney-
or have been thought of if it had not
been for the arrogant and insolent
policy of the liquor traffic. There
would have been no need for such a
law if liquor had not been poured into
territory where the local laws forbid
its sale. 1t was the spirit of law de-
hance on the part Of the liquor ira fic
which impelled the people Of the coun-
try TO ask relief at the hands Of the
federal government.

dances. Nor were the performances
engaged in by persons of little repu-
.tation alone. There could be seen on
the floors of many Of these places,
among them the most costly restaur-
ants in the world, men and women
from homes of responsibility. Tley
went through the ara antics per-
formed by denizens of the half world,
against whom they crushed n JOS
tied during the dance.
In fact the dance halls of these ex-
pensive restaurants have been nightly
the scene of mixed companies, out-ofr
town visitors, actresses, merchants,
and their wives. and professionals who
make their living on Broadway and
side streets. OF course there are re-
sorts in every American city where
scenes of more ~vulgarity and boldness
are enacted, but these were not wit
messed by respectable women. The
curiosity in the New York obsession
has been the willingness of women
otherwise u~nimpeachable to take part.
So far had the craze gone that when
the police closed the all-night places
many of them inaugurated afternoon
dances. and the same scenes were en-
acted. So far the mayor has not de-
ctded to prevent these.

THE JAP ROW.

The tangle in California over the
Japanese trouble has reached an
acute stage and President Wilson has
decided to send Secretary Of State
Bryan there in person to explain the
governments position to the Cali
fornians. 1t is TO be hoped that the
California legislature will he amen
able to reason.
People throughout the United States
generally annot fully sympathize
with the people Of the Pacific Coast
states, who have long manifested 4
lively prejudice against the Japanese.
Of course, this may be because the
people of the interior do not know all
the conditions of the problem.
But distance sometimes lends ciar-
ity, as well as other qualities, to the
view; and it does not seem improbable
that the Ca}ifornians have lost sight
Of a few elementary facts which ought
TO be weighed carefully in connection
with the Legislation which is now
pending in Sacramento.
The Japanese have manifested many
admirable traits in recent years.
They have paid the United States the
compliment of initiating it. They have
tried eagerly to rid themselves OF i'm
peding traditions. and to get into line
with the most progressive modern ma
tions. They have developed unsus-
pected abilities in many ways. They
have given the United States special
opportunities to learn that it's states
men are men of character and ability.
And the Jap is so numerous at. home
a comparatively small place at best
that he is in need of new territory for
the exploitation of his energies and
abilities.
The United States has never sought
to discriminate against any race as
California would now discriminate
against the people from the. mikado's
Kingdom. Such discrimination, there
fore, cannot but be offensive; and even
a very great and powerful nation can
not afford to offend any people.
The Japs ought to be an asset to
California. They are Industrious, In
genious, law -abiding.
Race prejudice is a hard thing to
understand or anaiyze; and always II
is an evil to guard against zealously.

time. Interfering in a family row
usually brings temporary peace and a
combined assault on the well-meaning
third party.
Lacking recognition from this coun-
try, the Mexican leaders in nominal
charge Of the republic are unable to
borrow money, which means that
armies cannot be paid nor the other
expenses kept up satisfactorily under
present conditions. The revenues
which the Huerta administration are
able to collect fall far short of being
sufficient to finance the government,
and If no loan Can be obtained present
u~nfavorable conditions will grow more
rigorous.
Activities Of the rebels are becom-
ing more n more pronounced, and in
spite Of the attempt at censorship
conditions are becoming known out
side that country. Carranza is the
most powerful Of the leaders opposing
Huerta's government. He is holding
his place as governor Of Coahuila and
is being slated as the next president
Of the republic. He Is not depending
on a general election for the place,
however, but Is mobilizing an army
which his friends say is to number
5000 men. AS the Huerta regime
could hardly put into the field a third
Of that number, the result, II the reb-
81 governor is able to come within the
~neighborhood Of the expectations of
his friends, is not difficult to see.
sixty days is the limit set for the con-
ttnuation Of the Huerta regime.
Most Of the rebel strength is in the
northern states, but the Zapatas have
been joined by a number Of lesser
leaders in the movement to overthrow
Huerta, whose forces are entirely in
adequate to cope with the rebels eX-
cept in a circumscribed territory.
The fact that the Mexicans will not
stand for the present administration
is decidedly to their credit. The
wanton murder of President Madero,
accomplished by treachery. sent a
shock over the civilized world. Red
handed aSsassins as rulers are not to
the liking Of this government nor Of
other governments in this enlightened
day. HuCrta can expect no moral
support; it is only d question Of how
DOR the rebels overwheIm his blood
stained rule and sweep him and Diaz
out Of the country.

Difficulties of Authors.

Great Thoughts: Defoe offered
Robinson Crusoe to publisher after
publisher without success. 1t was,
however, at last brought out by a pub
Usher named Taylor to whom It proved
a veritable gold mine. He is said to
have made a profit of some 100, 00U
pounds by the sale Of this remarkable
book.
w. NJ. ~Thackoray offered his bril-
liant novel, Vanity Fair, TO some pub
fishers after it had run through the
pages of a magazine; but it was re-
fused. as they thought it was not an
interesting novel, or one hat would
meet with a ready sale.
Jane Austin, who was undoubtedly
one Of the greatest nOvelists that ever
lived, met with great difficulty at the
beginning Of her literary career in get
ting her books printed. She sent her
N%orthanger Abbey to three or four
firms, but it was refused by all of
them. At last she disposed of her
manuscript for the small sum Of 10
pounds to a bookseller, who, If we
mistake not. had an establishment in
Bath. 1t turned out a splendid specu-
Iation for him.
Samuel Warren's very interesting
book. The Diary Of a Late Physi-
clan, first saw the light Of day
through the medium Of Blackwood's
magazine, the publishers to whom he
had submitted it having refused to un-
dertake its publication in book form.
Carlotte Bronte's first novel was re-
fused by a great many firms.
Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe sub
mitted her Uncle Toms Cabin to a
firm Of publishers in Washington after
it had appeared in serial form in an
a~nti-siaVorN magazine, but. on rec
OmmendatiOn Of their reader, it was
rejected. They afterwards, however,
undertook the publication, and it's sue
cess is universally known. In England
alone the sale has reached something
like 100000 copies, while in America 1t
may be set down at a still larger fig
ure.
Sir Walter Scott. soon after he had
finished Waverly, offered the copy
right of that novel to Sir r. Philips,
the famous bookseller. for the magnif-
cent sum of 80 pounds. The latter de-
Clined it.
The Rev. John Keble offered his
Christian Year to a country pub
Usher for 20 pounds, but it was refus-
learn that during the forty years inn
mediately succeeding its publication
Mr.. Keble's share Of the profits
amounted to about $4,000 pounds.
Hans Christian Andersen's Fairy
Tales were refused by all the pub
fishers in Copenhagen. He brought
them out at his own expense, with
what success is sufficiently known.
Blair could hardly get 100 pounds
for the first volume Of his Sermons
Yet it was such a success that 800
pounds was eagerly paid for the sec
ond volume, and for the succeeding
volumes 600 pounds each.

Atchison Globe: The length of time
that a woman has been married can be
told approximately by the manners in
which she eats her refreshments at an
afternoon party. If she excuses her
self, just before the refreshments are
served, and founces out in a righteous,
you-neglect-your Observation-Disclosures
look at the other guests, she is a bride
of not more than two months. When
a woman sits %nervously on the very
mindedIy with her eyes on the clock,
she has been married at least six
months, but has not yet become call
loused to suffer because her husband
is kept waiting for his evening meal.
After women have been married from
one to thirty years they settle down to
a thorough enjoyment of what the
