LITTLE REGARD FOR TRUTH.

LITTLE REGARD FOR TRUTH.
Il guess we will have to have q
prohibition press agent for the state"
remarked Governor Ca7per OF Kansas
to a representative Of the Kansas City
(Mo) Journal. as he ran through q
big raft of letters and commmica,
tions regarding prohibition.
1T is remarkable how little regard
for truth some people have" said the
governor. For instance, here Is .
man in Brooklyn, writing to the New
York Tribune, solemnly stating that
during his residence In Kansas from
1905 to 1913 he saw moro boys under
sixteen years old drunk In this state
than he had seen men drunk in other
states In all his life. Just think Of
such an absurd statement. He also
says that the hotels in all the big
towns of the state pay monthly fines
for handling liquor. As q matter OF
fact there isn't n single hotel In Kan
sas paying monthly fines; nor in fact
are monthly fines being charged any
where. The supreme court knocked
that system out nine years ago.
"All sorts OF arguments are put up
by the vets against prohibition, but
there are two points they ignore.
One is that Kansas is well pleased
with prohibition, regardless of what
others may think of her; the other is
that If a man can't spend his nickel
for a glass of beer he has that nickel
with which to buy a loaf of bread for
his family"

Der 30, 1914, the balance amounted to

QUESTION NATloNALIzED.

81 have been forced to the conclu-
sion that the only effective way TO
deal with the liquor question is by and
through the action of the national
government" is the declaration OF
United States Senator Eorah Of Idaho.
"The liquor interests themselves have
nationalizod the question. The large
distilleries and manufactures OF intox-
icating llquorE supply every state in
the Union from some particular manu-
featuring plant so that 1t becomes In
every sense a matter Of interstate con-
Germ and a matter which can be ef'
fectually controlled and regulated
through the national government
which alone can deal with interstate
matters.
"If had felt that It could be dealt
with by the states alone would have
much preferred to see II dealt with in
that way. But feel sure that 1t has
passed beyond the control Of the states
and has become a national question in
every sense, economically, CONNER
cially and politically"
