AND HUNDREDs or OTHER BEAUTIFUI. AND USEFUL GIFTs

ported that for the three months in
which this school was fully ventil-
ated by cloth screens, the cost for
electricity tan electric motor ran
the FAM was $152 less than the same
period of 1894 and $13I less than
the same period of 1928. The re-
port showed that there was a further
saving OF % tons OF coal, although
the winter was much more severe,
and stated that $500 would be very
conservative estimate of the saving
/ FOR school year. 1t was found that
the screens had been tried out in a
number of schools public and pri-
yate and endorsed by principals,
teachers and medical inspectors, and
the committee recommended that
the city authorities provide money to
put them into 2675 windows of the
public schools of the city.
The success of this system in SYRIA
cuse and its simplicity and cheapness
certainly justify giving it trial in
the Northwest. There are doubtless
many school rooms where teachers
and scholars are working under
great disadvantages and unhealthful
conditions because of bad ventila-
ton. The simplicity and cheapness
of the cloth screen place it within
reach of the smallest and poorest
school district.

KANSAS HAS SPOKEN

During the campaign on the liquor
question in this state last year, many
arguments were advanced by the wet
forces, based upon purported condi-
tions in Kansas and many statistics
were quoted regarding the results of
prohibition in that state. The writer
then advised that all these argu-
ments and alleged statistics be disre-
garded for the reason that the people
of Kansas were the best judges of
the effect of prohibition in that state
and that they were well satisfied.
The truth of this assertion has
been proven by a concurrent resolu-
ton which was adopted unanimously
by both houses of the Kansas legis-
lature on February 20 last The
resolution reads as follows:
Whereas, The liquor interests
throughout the country. and those
allied with them in their nefarious
business, are publishing abroad in
form of paid advertisements in the
newspapers, certain false and de-
famatory statements to the effect
that prohibition in Kansas has
caused increase in crime. death rate,
homicide, suicide Divorces, and
juvenile delinquents, and
Whereas, The saloon trust is
making use of juggled statistics,
falsehoods manufactured by crimina!
interests, allied to the alcohol yend-
ers and derogatory statements made
by few unreliable and irresponsible
citizens of Kansas, all with the in
tention of creating prejudice in the
minds OF the legislators of other
states and thus influencing pro-
Pullman herald. [volume] (Pullman, W.T. [Wash.]) 1888-1989, 1915-04-02

posed anti-liquor legislation, and
Whereas, There is a lobby. the
members of which profess to oe Kan
s"s men, operating in the legislature
of the state of Utah and alleging
that evil follows in the train of pro-
hibition, and that the enforcement
oil the 7rohibitory law in Kansas has
resulted i'll multiplying crime, aud
deteriorating all the mental and
moral faculties of the people O. Kan
sas; therefore, be it
Resolved, by the senate. the
house of representative concurring
therein, That all of such charges are
libelous and false, and but represent
the sentiments of men who. when
this state eXiled the saloon. were
compelled to leave Kansas for her
good
Resolved, That the reverse of
these statements is true; that the
state of Kansas is cleaner. better,
more advanced in mental culture and
stronger in moral fiber and convic-
ton that her homes are happier and
more comfortable, her children bet.
ter educated than ever before in her
history; that crime is less prevalent
and poverty less general; and that
all this is due largely to the fact that
the saloon is such an outlaw that
none of her school children have ever
seen saloon, and are unacquainted
with the appearance of a saloon-keep-
er; and be it further
Resolved, That we, as repre-
sentatives of the people of Kansas
hereby declare our allegiance to the
cause of temperance, sobriety and
right living, as eXemplified by the
ultimate result of constitutional pro-
hibition, and its enforcement in our
midst, and that We are opposed to
any return to the domination of in
| toXicating liquors, and that no propo-
sition looking to re-submission of
the prohibitory amendment. and that
no law which has for its object the
establishment of places for the
sale of liquor anywhere in Kansas
will be given serious consideration,
either by the legislature or by any of
| It's committees.
Resolved, That a copy of these
resolutions be spread upon the Jour
nails of the house and senate, and
that the chief clerk of the house, and
the secretary of the senate are direct
ed to send certified copies of this
resolution to all states of the Union
which now have legislatures con-
yened and in session for the enact
ment of laws"
The above resolution is as sweep
ing as it is emphatic and should for
ever put quietus upon the citing OF
conditions in Kansas as proof that
prohibition is a failure. The mem.
bers of the legislature came from al
parts of the state and represented al
classes of people. They were in {
position to speak with authority fol-
their constituents and their unani
nous verdict must be accepted as q
conclusive refutation of the asser.
tions OF the liquor advocates
Kansas has spoken through her
legislature and thereby contributed
a powerful argument to the prohibi-
ton cause.
