wh.r. prohibition Mork..
From Golfers.

800 from C0ller'B. s
Having spent a year In the prohibit
ton state OF Maine. / was skeptical as
TO the feasibility OF a practical prohibit
ton Prohibition in Maine, when 1 was
there, was simply q joke-and a bad
joke at that, for II involved a liquor.
Every man In the state who wanted
drink knew where to get 1t, SO long as
he was satisfied with poor beer, or
whisky or about the quality Of spar
varnish. Never have / seen more
drunkenness than In that state. The
slight added difficulty of getting drink
only made men want 1t more, and 1t
seemed 70 me that. when they got 1t,
they drank more at a sitting than they
would have a liquor been more gen.
orally accessible.
In Kansas II Is different. There the
law Is enforced. Blind pigs hardly eX-
ist. and bootleggers are rare birds who,
II they persist in Bookkeeping, are rap
idly converted into jailbirds. The New
York Tribune printed, recently, a
letter stating that prohibition is a sig
nal failure in Kansas, that there is
more drinking there than ever before,
and that "under the seats of all the
automobiles in Kansas there is a good
sized canteen." Whether there Is more
drinking In Kansas than ever before.
I cannot say. / do know, however,
both from personal observation and
from reliable testimony, that there is
practically no drinking in the portions
OF the state I visited. AS I am not a
prohibitionist, this statement is o
partisan But I may add that, after
having seen the results OF prohibition
in Kansas, I look pon 1t with more
favor. Indeed. / am a partial convert;
that is, I believe in 1t for you. And
whatever are you views on prohfbi-
ton, I think you will admit that 1t Is
q pretty temperate state in which a
girl can grow to womanhood and say
what one Kansas girl said to me: That
n never saw q drunken man until
she moves away from Kansas.

AS the war age on ana we find
ourselves pinched by II, we can and
do thank God for good ~neighbors. The
most wonderful thing In North Amer
lean life Is the fact that for 1000 or
5000 miles our frontier Is ,Canada's
frontier, and NOT only Is there no fort
upon II, but there Is no place where
anyone IN either nation wants q fort.
They are people a Is glad to have
next door, the Canadians. Sometimes
a Taft or a Clark says something that
makes us blush for him; bat the nice
thing about these people Is, they UNI
nay very little attenAion TO 10. A COED
deal used to be said about annexfng
Canada, and once In q while a man
comes back from there SO ful of admir-
alton that he wants 10 annex the Uni
ted States to Oanada lnstanter; but
most of us feel-and we sincerely hope
Canada can share The feeltng-thet
tust being neigabOrs Is the best thing
for both OF US. We have the same
problems in the main. and we are glad
to have Canada show how h thinks
they should be worked put. We have
a good dead OF common property In
the lakes and rivers which lie between
our shoes and hers. II IL a really beau
tiful thing to thank ef-4n the war-torn
autumn OF i914-that we have never
had q serious difference about this
common property. This y a good time
to vow that we I'VE WI. Our Lady
of the SHOWS Is not so cold as her title
might lead one to think. She Is dis
timothy our sort--and we hope she
won't mind our saying SO. The from
tier Is an imaginary itne only.
Thoughts arc the true bond OF friend
