How Prohibition Work. in Kansas.

TT may be that In Maine, and some
other prohibition states there Is much
drunkenness and that liquor Ia sold
openly, but 1 can say from experience
and close observation that in Kansas.
which has been dry" for years, there
Is little or no drunkenness and no liquor
sold openly or otherwise" s, remarked
S. A. l.. Hope, of Topeka, at the Ra-
leigh. The prohibition law in Kansas
is as well enforced as the laws against
burglary or larceny. ~
Kansas has not had a legalized sa :
loon for thirty five years, and there Is
not a brewery in the state. There are
eightye eight city and county jails that
arc empty, sc-ty-seven nnnrfarms and
almshoases that are not occupied, and
twenty eight counties in which the
criminal courts have not had criminal
prosecution in more than a year.
New York City is proud of its rec
ord or last month-not murder was
committed in the city-yet in Kansas.
as l have said, twenty-eight counties
have not had criminal prosecution
in a year. If the southern states that
have prohibition laws enforced the laws
as rigidly as Kansas does, there would
be no outrageous and unspeakable
crimes and lynchngs.
There are more than half a million
boys and girls in Kansas who never
saw an open saloon. and the state has
the lowest death rate in the United
States-seven in a thousand. Kansas
has the largest wealth per capita Of any
state-nearly $500.
The Sunflower state was the first
state to declare unanimously for ma
ton wide prohibition

Henry J. Allen, Kansas Editor, Hers
70 Write Up Senator.

Des Molnas. Aug. 24.-"There il no
reason why Iowa, which has been pro
ducing statesmen for many years,
should not furnish the presidential
candidate Of the republican party in
1916" said Henry j. Allen. well known
Kansas editor and a national figure in
the progressive party today, in dis
GUESSING Senator Albert b. Cummins of
this city as a presidential possibility.
Mr. Allen is In Des Moines for an in
terview with Senator Cummins on ma
tional affairs which he will incorporate
in an article for Golfers.
"On the other hand, there are many
reasons why 1t might be best for Iowa
to supply the next president" con-
tinued Mr.. Allen. Iowa occupies a
peculiar position. I find in this state
standpatters who swatted Cummins
in 1912 and others who swat tied Taft
in 1912 behind Cummins for the pres
idency. This is the first visible evil
dence OF good sense the republican
party has shown since the Chicago
convention. 1t may be that this con-
dition will give Iowa a power for VAL
liable leadership in harmonizing the
two elements of the republican party.
Senator Cummins should be satisfac-
tory to both progressives and stand
patters. The republicans of the ma
ton will co well to follow the lead OF
Iowa.
THE old belief that no man can be
elected to the presidency unless he Is
from the east ought to be Knocked
completely out. We must get away
from the rrovincialism OF the east.
Why should there be fxed territory
from which to choose a president?
Back east they are now saying Borah
or Cummins would be all right If they
were only farther toward the Atlantic
coast Some of the most brilliant
eastern men have these provincial
ideas. They know New England. New
York and the country as far west as
pittsburgh. They have never come in
contact with the vibrant American
ism Of the middle west from which
the country has recruited It's best cit
izenship for years. However, the war
in Europe has given them a chance
to see America and get acquainted
with the west. For this reason t
ought to be easier to nominate and
elect a western man than ever be-
fore.
Il see victory ahead for united
republican party IL the standpatters
show a desire to unite and fly the
progressive banner. II they choose to
remain under eastern leadership and
keep their roses tilted in the air and
pursue the same course as they did at
Chicago in 1912, the progressive party
will nominate Hiram Johnson for the
presidency and the standpat element
will have committed suicide"

Especial Correspondence

| Washington, Aug. 24.-Even the
people of Iowa do not fully appreciate
the Importance of the swine industry in
! that commonwealth. Nor is it realized
! in other states what an item OF the
wealth of Iowa is to be found in that
! plain and simple and, perhaps, some
! what despised animal, the ordinary
| American hog,
! The department of agriculture has
some figures on swine in the United
States which, to any one who has not
studied them. constitute revelation
OF the magnitude of the industry and
the relative magnitude of the industry
in Iowa
1t is commonly known that Iowa is
the leading state In swine but how
many people understand that Iowa has
more than twice as many as her near
est competitor. on the basis of the de-
partmental figures?
Iowa in Lead.
The data of the department of agri-
culture is OF date Of Jan. /, 1915. This
data is the latest complete returns for
the entire country which the depart
ment has. 1t is shown that Iowa has
s,720,000 head of swine and that next
to Iowa, in order. are the following
states with numbers as follows:
ililnois ........ ........-... 4,ooe'ooV
MISSOURI ........ .......... 4.loV,ouo
lhuldha ......... .......... s'lo',oVo
Nebraska ........ ........ 3,S09,000
Not only does Iowa outrank, more
than twice over, her nearest rival, IL
linos but when it comes to values, the
superiority of Iowa as a swine state Is
more fully shown. The value of the
swine in Iowa is given as s95. 10000
and of those in Illinois $44,ss7,000.
The value of the swine OF Iowa at
the beginning of this calendar year ex-
ceeded that Of a year earlier by about
100000.
Showing in another way the magni-
tude of the swine industry In Iowa, is
the fact that this state has more than
one-eighth of all the hogs in the United
States. The entire country is credited
with 6i.6lS.000. OF these, Iowa, as al
ready shown, has s,72O.000. or consider
ably more than one eighth.
Ranks High in Value.
But in value. the hogs OF Iowa are
more than one-seventh of the value OF
all those in the nation. Total value of
the swine of the entire country is given
as s637,479.000. The Iowa herds are
worth s95,920.o0o, or over one-seventh
of the value OF the entire number OF
swine in the United States. The total
number of swine In the United States
increased from 5s,933.000 Jan. 1. 1914
to 64.s1S.o0o Jan. 1, 1915. This was an
increase of something less than 5000.
900 for the whole country In the same
time, the Iowa swine population alone
increased nearly 100000. In other
words. Iowa was credited with about
a third of the entire national increase
in the swine industry in the year

cause Of Contraband Declaration.

Washington, Aug. 24.-Treasury Of
ficials Monday night made public an
announcement by Secretary McAdoo
that in view OF the action Of the allies
in putting cotton on the contraband
list, he would, If 1t became necessary,
deposit $50. 100000 or more in gold In
the federal reserve banks at Atlanta,
Dallas and Richmond for the purpose
of enabling the reserve banks to redis-
count loans on cotton secured by ware
house receipts made by national banks
and state banks belonging to the fed
eral reserve system.
The gold would be deposited tenn
porarily. at least, without interest
charge 1t was explained that II 1t ap-
peared that the object could be ac-
complished with greater efficiency
thereby, the deposits would be made
directly with national banks agreeing
to lend the money on cotton at rate
not TO exceed per cent.
Secretary McAdoo's announcement
came at the close Of day Of specu-
lation in official circles as to the ma
ture of steps which the entente pow
ers have indicated they will take to
uphold the cotton market in the face
CT their contraband order.
BANKS H9hSQ 10 NO.
The secretary said that one OF his
chief objects was to create basis for
such enlarged credit in the south that
the banks will have ample resources to
extend to producers such accommoda-
tons that they will be able to carry
cotton In warehouses for reasonable
length OF time until it can be marketed
advantageously.
% Oh,
Adoo said that the national and state
banks which are members OF the fed
eral reserve system. should make
loans on warehouse receipts for in
sured cotton at low rates OF interest;
that the banks can we'll afford to carry
cotton for producers at per cent, es-
peclally II they are able to rediscount
cotton paper at the federal reserve
banks at q much lower rate than s
per cent: that the credit resources OF
the banks of the country are greater
than ever before in our history and
that there Is no reason why the banks
should not, In cooperation with the
merchants OF the south. help the cot
ton producers with loans at low rates
in the present peculiar situation.
The federal reserve board, the Sec
rotary said. had a right to determine
the rate of interest which the federal
reserve banks can charge member
banks on notes or loans secured by
insured and warehoused cotton redis-
counted with federal reserve banks
He has been unable to consult his COL
leagues Of the federal reserve board
on account of his absence from Wash
ington, but feels confident OF their CO.
operation in every reasonable way.

Chicago, aug. 24.-Wheat - 4 few
scattered reports of frost caused I'M
casinos to some of the more timid
shorts and resulted in an early rally.
Northwestern markets showed no con-
Germ over the weather reports and sell
ing of wheat In their markets as we'll
as in ours, resulted in a break of about
cents. At the close prices were a
to q cent lower for the nearby de-
liveries, while May was a shade higher.
Cash wheat broke with the futures and
premiums were off about i cent from
yesterday. The southwest reports that
the recent decline in prices does not
cause a. corresponding increase in the
holding disposition Of farmers and that
country offerings are on the increase.
Corn-Low temperatures in the
northwest, with frost at a few points
caused a moderate rally In corn during
the early trading. The demand was
not broad and the market therefore,
reacted EASILY under profit taking
sales TO lower than last nights close.
Only ninety cars We're on sale here,
but the demand is not keen and sample
values were lower with the futures.
The absence of good demand for cash
corn may be accounted for by the high
premiums that are prevailing for the
cash article. Economy is being prac-
ticed by eastern consumers who are
using Argentina corn, patent feeds and
other substitutes for western corn.
Rallies in the market continue TO bring
offerings from Iowa and Nebraska
points. where there is still considerable
old corn back.
Oa.s-There are no contract oats IN
Chicago ami very small proportion of
the arrivals grade better than No. 3
white. Tnder ordinary circumstances
this would result in a good movement
but the lack of buying and the ex-
ceedinSly nervous tone Of wheat brings
corresponding weakness in oats fu-
lures Cash demand today was disap-
pointing only 1000 bushels being re-
ported sold for shipment. Primary re-
ceipts are running little heavier than
last year and export demand is light.
The danger from frost in the northwest
and Canada is greater, so far as oats
are concerned, than is the case Of
wheat.
