AS Viewed by Mr.. Gilmore,

Louisville, KY, Feb. 27-"Kansas
lrohibtionists will kill the Zutavern
bill to punish the user of liquor in
that state,' says T. NJ Gilmore, pres
iGent of the National Model License
League in a statement issued here
to day in regard to the most drastic
dry" measure ever presented to any
state legislature.
This is what we want, real pro-
hibition, if any," says Mr.. Gilmore.
We want to see the prohibition SEN
timent of the country thoroughly test
ed
IF the object of prohibition is not
to prevent the use of liquor by the
Individual it has no claim for the sup
port that it demands in the name of
dIyness. believe the fight is wholly
asainst the legal sale of liquor and
that the prohibitionists do not refuse
the cooperation of those who favor
tho illegal sale.
"As l am told, Mr.. Zutavern, of
Kansas, favors the strict regulation
of the liquor business, but, if he can
not bring this about, would prefer to
see dry territory really dry As
the prohibitonists are on record with
the statement that real prohibition
would kill the whole prohibition move
ment expect all prohibitionists in
Kansas to oppose Mr.. Zutavern's bill,
just as they would have fought the
Webb bill in congress if that tooth
less measure had been so worded as
to keep liquor out Of dry territory.
AS it was they favored the Webb bill
because it will not decrease the use

AN UNIQUE BILL.
For Punishment of kansans Who
Accumulate Thirst.

The following, which is known in
Kansa as the 'Zutavern Bill hav
ing been introduced in the Legislature
of that state by Mr.. Zutavern. reads:
''An act to punish the buyer and
possessor of liquor in the state OF
Kansas.
BE it enacted by the Legislature
Of the state of Kansas;
Section 1. That any person buy.
in liquor of any kind or to be found
IN possession of the same shall be
found guilty of misdemeanor and
rLon conviction thereof shall be
punished by fine not less than one
Hundred dollars nor more than five
hundred dollars, or by Imprisonment
not less than thirty days nor more
than ninety days.
Section 2 This act shall take ef-
feet and be in full force from and
after publication in the statute book" >"
This is certainly something unique,
as heretofore all dry" laws have
been aimed at the making and sell

all will be done. No, this is not a
threat. 1t is a plain statement CT
facts. There can be no question of
the need of this section for a basket
factory and there can be no question
but that such factory would be a
paying investment for those who
place their money in it, but few
&C us are not going to shoulder all
the burden while those who have risk
q. nothing will come in for a share
n the profits"
The sentiment expressed by this
one gentleman and quoted above,
seems to be the feeling with several
oilers who are vitally interested in
the movement All say that they are
receiving cold encouragement from
he sources from which they expect
ed the greatest material help.
The subscription list shows that
Tie proposition is still shy something
like six thousand dollars of the re-
quired amount. The committee In
charge have worked hard and faith
folly in the matter and that they are
feeling a trifle discouraged cannot
We wondered at. 1t is to be sincerely
hoped that there are enough men in
crested in the good business of the
community to join hands with this
ommittee and help the cause along.
IS it has been already shown to the
satisfaction of the most conservative
t'iat the basket factory will prove
4 money maker from the start.

In addition to watching and waiting
for the Ringing railroad and the

promised to appear in a materializel
form some time ago, the people Of
this section are now looking for the
groundhog which promised us good
weather about the same time that
work or the road to the west" had
been promised to begin. In the case
of the grounding the population OF
Ardmore are looking for him with
a gun.
Acting upon their faith in the
promises of the grounding, numerous
citizens of this municipality nave
planted their gardens to the succu-
lent onion and the tasteless lettuce
They had a long, ingrown and abid-

did not think that, like ordinary pol
iticians, he would make promises
lonly 10 break them. But it seem,
that their confidence has been mis-
placed and now the onions, the youns
corn, the radishes and the beans are
crumpied up and curled under ;
coating of snow, not deep but yer,
cold.

BASKET FACTORY
IS NOT SURE
UNLESS THE REQUIRED AMOUNT
OF STOCK is SUBSCRIBED IT
WILL NOT BE BUILT.

Unless the total amount of fifteen
thousand dollars, which it has o"en
decided is necessary to build, equip
and start the operation of the bas-
ket factory, IS subscribed, the fac
tory will not be built. t least such
is the statement given out by one
cr two of the leading spirits in the
venture
One of these gentlemen, when in
terviewed by an Ardmoreite reporter
this morning said that for the Fast
few days the matter had been tagging
in a most discouraging manner "The
very ones" he said "who will
probably be the most benefited by
ANYTHING which would increase the
business of Ardmore and who would
leap the largest harvest from the
tlrning loose of more money in the
town are the very ones who are either
taking hold of the matter in a half
hearted way, or else are deliberately
pouring cold water upon it. Some
aIsn who could we'll afford 20 take
rot less than a thousand dollars
stock in the factory have salved their
consciences by loosening their purse
strings in the interests Of the city's
Welfare for sums ranging well below
m RI
others have turned the matter down
hard and cold. All of these men
have made it a point to ladle buckets
o. the very coldest kind of cold water
upon the proposition. In my opinion
these men think that few of us who
are the most deeply interested in the
fruit raising industry and who will
see to it that our own fruit reaches
the markets of the north this sum-
mcr, will go ahead and build the fac.
tory and manMfacture the baskets
SO that all may benefit by the enter
Prise while we, who comprise the few,
will have been called upon to assume
all the risk. am here to say right
now that such an idea is positively
erroneous. Unless the fifteen thou
sand dollars, which will be needed to
rrild and equip the plant, is forth
coming there will be no plant. Nor
will there be cars of baskets shipped
in from the east at the sole risk OF
a few of us as was done last year.
Yes we will arrange to take care Of
our own fruit, but when that is done

Of liquor in dry territory.
The Webb bill in actual practice
would give state officers the power
TO levy blackmail on every shipper of
liquor. The favored shippers would
get by with their goods and reach
their consumers but the unfavored
cues would be held up on the sus-
picion of an intent to violate the
law. Mr., Zutavern wants his bill to

tended to do and that is to make
