INSTRUCTION OF NAVAL RE-

4 n essential feature Of in
~ struction which all appren-
tice seamen receive ut the
naval training station is in
swimming. This instruction is
given under competent instruc-
tors and in swimming pools
ashore, the water being heated TO
a moderate temperature, and the
men are taught strokes which
will enable them to swim with
out difficulty. Later. after being
assigned to a seagoing vessel,
these swimming exercises are
continued until every man quail
fies under the rules. Many of
our apprentice seamen come
from inland states where no OPP
portunity is available to learn to
swim.

|made by the national liquor interests.
|esovernor Capper, of Kansas. over his
own signature, at the close of strong

LOT facts about Kansas prohibition.
What the Witnesses Say.
Let us call the witnesses and see
what they think of prohibition In

should know. for they live with 1t and
under It:
The Governor Of Kansas says prohi-

and only six could be found In all the
State who doubted the wisdom Of this
legislation.
The president of the Kansas Medi-
cal Society believes In prohibition.
The president of the Commercial
Clubs of Kansas has said that pro-
hibition has added real value to every
acre of Kansas land.
The Supreme Court has testified In
the following strong language to the
benefits of the prohibition law:
The prohibitory law is well en-
forced throughout the State. 1t Is as
generally well enforced as any other
criminal law. The enforcement OF the
law distinctly promotes social welfare
and reduces to a minimum economic
waste consequent upon the liquor
traffic and allied evils. The saloon
keeper and his comrades have been
excluded from effective participation
In the politics of the State"
And to completely settle the ques-
ton for all time the Legislature of
Kansas, not by a majority. but unani-
mously passed a concurrent resolu-
ton at the last session denouncing as
'libelous and false the statements
and figures published by liquor rep
resentatives concerning Kansas, re-
lating to the benefits Of prohibition to
the State. and declaring Its allegiance
to the cause of national prohibition.
This resolution was printed in The
virginian in full several days ago.
