QUESTION NATIoNALlzEp.

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 Borah Of Idaho.
THE liquor interests themselves have
nationalized the question. The large
distilleries and manufactures Of intox-
icating liquors supply every state in
he Union from some particular manu-
featuring plant so that it becomes in
every sense matter of interstate con-
Germ and q matter which can be eff
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 it dealt with in
that way. But l 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" af

prohibition press agent for the state, -
remarked Governor Capper of Kansas
to a representative of the Kansas City
MOI Journal. as he ran through a
big raft Of letters and communica-
tions regarding prohibition. -.
1T is remarkable how little. regard
for truth some people have" said the
governor, For instance, here is, a
man in Brooklyn, writing to the New
York Tribune, solemnly stating that
during his residence in Kansas from
1905 to 1913 he saw more 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 a 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 IL a man can't spend his nickel
for a glass of beer he has that nickel
with which to buy loaf Of bread for
his family"

Michigan, the county in which is stu

ports balance of $25,72 for the year
ending September 80, 1915. This bal
ance is significant when 1t is remem-
bered that the county went dry on
May 1 of that year and thereby for
feited $4,000 in liquor license rev.
enue. For the year ending ,Septem-
Der 80. 1914, the balance amounted to
only s6,s7S.3O, practically $4,000 less
than for 1915, although the county
treasurer received for 1914 the liquor

to achieve among US in the past an ad-
equate success, because wherever
tried it has been only prohibition in
spots! But sanitation in spots-Vac-
cination, quarantine, sewerage, pure
water supply only here and there
such an arrangement would not give

lie health. Nothing will do but pol
icy of public hygiene that is nation
wide. Just so with prohibition, ne
cessity to public health, moral and

be struck at its vital center when hit
by a national law. That blow given
and then scores of minor evils, caused
by drink. that cannot otherwise be
reached will disappear.-The Congre-
