RIGHTS USED
As PRONE IH|l||| ARGUMENT
Governor Hodges Says Il Mus
Not Interfere With Human
Rights.

Topeka, Kan, Dec. 31.-State's
rights is one of the latest arguments
that could be offered In opposition to
! national prohibition, according to. Geo,
IT. Hodges, governor of Kansas, who
spoke before the national convention
Of the intercollegiate Prohibition as
sociation here today.
The proposition that national prohi.
bitton is CONTRARY to the letter and
spirit Of our government sounds like
the slavery arguments years ago, he
said. Human rights and the vel.
fare of humanity must be given pref
erence in settling all moral questions.
States rights was the only excuse of.
fered against giving the colored race
their freedom. States rights at that
time was the stumbling block that pre-.
vented the recognition of the rights OF
man and added years Of untold suffer.
ing and servitude to human beings.
Estates rights must not be per.
mitted to interfere with, or to stand1i
the way of human rights or moral
rights, or constructive citizenship.
States rights Is a lame contention
when balanced against, the rights of
the mother and the family and against
On endeavor thateca only bring a bet.
fer condition to the human race"
N Governor Hodges pointed out thar
the only objection offered to .prohibi.
ton is that ic does not prohibit and
that this argument is advanced by the
liquor interests.
2HNo intelligent person defends the
saloon upon moral grounds, he con.
tinued. tt''A saloon license is the most
expensive revenue state can col.
lsct. Formerly liquor in Kansas caus-
ed tax payers to pay out more money
for costs than all the costs paid in
the conviction of thieves, 'highwayman
and murderers combined. Whiskey
is a political liabiity-a parasite on
business" - v
s"Some men say gambling houses and
dens Of vice are necessary to the pros.
perity of the larger Cities" he said.
""The statement Of men whose bust.
ness interests are materially interior.
ed with ny the enforcement OF. the
prohibitory law is the very strongest
argument for its effectiveness
The governor reviewed the history
Of prohibition in Kansas and asserted
that the state was an experimental
ground but that 1t had SHOWN what
prohibition is. and now it a be en-.
forced in large cities as ffectively as
in rural districts.
