STATES RIGHTS LAME
PROHIBITION ARGUMENT
Gov. Hodges of Kansas Says It
Sounds Like Slavery Days.
Speaks at Topeka.

TOPEKA, Kan. December 30.--States
rights is one of the lamest arguments
that could be offered in opposition to
national prohibition, according to Gov.
Hodges of Kansas, who spoke before
the national convention of the Inter-
collegiate Prohibition Association here
today.
The proposition that national prohi-
bition is contrary to the letter and
spirit of our government sounds like
the slavery arguments years ago." he
said. Human rights and the welfare
of humanity must be given preference
in settling all moral questions. States
rights was the only excuse offered
against giving the negroes their free
DOM
Gov. Hodges pointed out that the only
objection offered to prohibition is that
it does not prohibit, and that this argu-
ment is advanced by the liquor in
terests.
NO Intelligent person defends the
saloon on moral grounds" he con-
tinued. "a saloon license is the most
expensive revenue a state can collect.
Formerly liquor in Kansas caused tax
payers to pay out more money for costs
than all the costs paid in the conviction
of thieves, highwaymen and murders
combined. Whisky Is political liza
bility-a parasite on business"

"The Prodigal Husband. :"

John Drew, direct from an engage
ment at the Empire Theater in New
York. which had its beginning at the
opening of the present season, will be
presented by Charles Frohman at the
New National Theater next week, be-
ginning Monday evening. in 1.-THE
Prodiga1 Husband" by Dario Niccodemi
and Michael Morton. The actors new
role is said to be one of the best he has
had in recent years.
The new comedy differs somewhat
from other vehicles in which Mr.. Drew
has lately been seen. Aside from Its
aughter-arousing elements. the story
contains much unexpected tenderness
and an ingenious child scene, in which
real pathos occasionally interrupts the
exquisite humor. AS the title suggests.
Mr.. Drew appears as a husband some
what given over to the life known as
bohemian" and the story deals with
his career during a period in which his
young and pretty wife has become
estranged from him. His shortcomings
are finally brought home to him by a
slip of a girl, the daughter of his
housekeeper, in whom he has evinced
a protecting interest.
Charles Frohman has surrounded Mr..
Drew with a splendid supporting COM
pany, which includes Martha Hedman.

seasons ago with John Mason in "The
Attack; Ferdinand Gottschalk, Henry
