alcohol he drinks. The total abstain

CAUSE OF LOWEST DEATH RATE.
Why has Kansas the lowest death
rate in the United States? This ques-
tion was asked by doubling federal Of
icials after they had Investigated the
report Of W. J. v. Deacon. state regis
trar Of vital statistics. showing that
the Kansas death rate was only S.S
per 1000. The answer of Mr.. Deacon
as given to Samuel L. Rogers. direc-
tors Of tie United States bnV9au OF
census, gave this feaSon among 9TH
ers: . ...
Kansas 10 . prohibition state and
has been for . generation, and in Kan

not mean by this there is no alcohol
consumed in the state. but the alb

EDITORS CHANGE OF HEART.
During the wet and dry campaign
Of the state Of Washington, the Sc
attic Daily Times worked vigorously
for the vets. After one month of pro-
hibition this is what the editor said:
I'VE fought prohibition on economic
grounds alone. We believed that in
great seaport city with a popula-
tion Of upwards of 100000. prohibi-
tion would be destructive; that 1t
would bring on economic disaster.
We believed that under the license
system we had the liquor traffic as
we'll controlled as 1t could be; we
wanted to let it alone and we fought
as hard as we could fight But in
spite of all we could do. prohibition
carried and went into effect January
!. Its moral effect has been tremen-
dous. Seattle had 26O saloons and
we had an average Of $500 arrests a
month for crimes and misdemeanors
growing out Of liquor drinking. In
January we had only 400 arrests ar L
90 Of these were made January 1,
and were the result of hang-overs
from the old year.
