For six years Kansas has been en-
gagged in demonstrating that prohibi-
aon does prohibit. The anti-booze
laws have been on the books thirty
years but until ak years ago they
were enforced spasmodically or in
spots. Now and then a governor or
an attorney general would rear up and
create loud noise. and a few jointists
or bootleggers would be run down and
cast into loathsome dungeons. but
these little furries didn't amount to
much. The enforcement Of the pro-
hibitory law depended largely upon
local sentiment. When that sentiment
was strongly against saloons in any
community, that community depend
ed upon the hydrant for refreshments:
II the sentiment favored saloons. John
Barleycorn conducted himself in the
m ost brazen and imprudent way.
Seven years ago the Kansas towns
along the Missouri River all had open
saloons. There was no pretense Of
complying with the Law There were
more saloons In Atchison. for instance
than in any high license town of equal
size. and they were conducted with
all hours of the night. and being al
most free from any sort of official
regulation, Sumptuous free lunches
were set up in these places Similar
conditions prevailed in the mining
towns of the state. And when the sa-
loon keepers were 40 overworked
handing out foamtng fagons to the
proletariat that they suffered under
the strain, the druggists came to the
~x,4A - ~ i, n
way the Kansas druggist toiled be-
hind his prescription case seven years
ago was a caution TO galley claws.
