THAT KANSAS LESSON.


"The Kansas people have tried pro-
ihibition for thirty-six years and are
so satisfied with the results that every
political party IN the state champions
prohibition as the only policy" The
above significant statement appearing
recently in the columns Of that able
daily "The Topeka tKans.) Capital"
ought not to be without great weight
especially in those states so soon to
declare themselves by vote upon the
vital issue, statewide prohibition. The
experience Of a commonwealth is not
unlike that Of an individual---it is wor-
thy of the earnest attention Of those
contemplating important steps in life.
And when conclusions are reached in
either case after mature deliberation
in the realization Of results there is
ample reason for the most painstaking
and faithful adherence to the lessons
conveyed. Let it be remembered, too,
that not only in Kansas but in other
states as well there were political
parties that were not at the first par
ticularly friendly to the cause Of pro-
hibition but who have been let to see
by the years of test that prohibition is
an indispensable asset. And now their
testimony ought hot to be set aside by
any party or state seeking the public
welfare From present indications Ma
tion-wide prohibition is not very dis
tant and every state voting ''dry" in
these momentous days is only hasten
ing the coming of the glad era when
not only will this land be saloonless
but will also be free from the liquor
traffic in any form.-Guthrie Leader.
