Tells Anti Saloon Workers
in East.
SALOONS ON DECLINE
Average Liquor Consump-
ton Last Year for Each
Inhabitant Was 81. As, Ex-
ecutive Sets Out in Speech.

ATLANTIC CITY, July Speaking
before the Anti-Saloon League Con-
vention here today Ex-Governor
George H. Hodges of Kansas, declared
prohibition is a success in his state
as proved by the record of one motor
car to every twenty-five people and
an Increase in wealth for the year
just past Of more than $3.50, 100000
He said. In part:
mo intelligent person defends a
saloon upon moral grounds The only
objection offered is that Prohibition
does not prhibit and that Federal Pro-
hibition is contrary to the established
doctrine of states rights. These are
the two master arguments Of the in.
terests who are fighting a losing fight
to maintain their licensed privilege in
wet states.
Explains Bank Failure.
The failure of the German National
Bank OF Pittsburg, Pa, whose officers
and directors were identified with the
Pittsburg Brewing Co., was attributed
Py the bank officials to the acute de-
cline OF the brewing company's stock.
The enactment Of prohibitory laws in
Virginia and the extension of local
option laws In Eastern Ohio decreased
the demand for brewers products and
financial disaster followed. The as
signment of a brewing company in
Cincinnati and a large distilling COM
pany In Kentucky, whose consuming
territory is going dry is another COM
mercial argument that Prohibition
does not prohibit.
"A record Of the shipments of
Tho chfnroor<c ~ to-
filed monthly by the express COM
panies and the common carriers with
our county clerks. A Kansas statute
compels 1t. This gives us an accurate
method Of ascertaining the total guam
tity Of liquors consumed. The amount
Of the average consumption last year
was less than $1.45 for every man,
woman and child in our state. The
average individual consumption of
liquor in Missouri is $24.OO per capita,
although half of their population live
under local option laws.
Prohibition Prohibits.
"A small mathematical effort proves
that Prohibition prohibits, $37,50O, 900
yearly In Kansas, as compared with
the annual consumption of liquor by
the same number of people who lived
In Missouri during the same period of
time. 1t Is $S1, 100000 less liquor than
the same number of New York citizens
use in the same length Of time. The
New Workers use $50 worth of liquor
a year. or thirty-five times as much
as Kansans use. These figures illum-
mate the fact that Prohibition pro-
hibits in Kansas.
THE second argument, the states
rights argument, as applied to national
prohibition, is the same ancient ar
gument clothed in a different garb.
Some object to federal enactments
basing their objections upon states
rights. The same objection was offer.
ed when the problem of slavery was
being solved. The proposition that
national prohibition is contrary to the
letter and spirit of our government
years ago."
