KANSAS BOYS GRADE HIGH
SAYS GENERAL WOOD
1--WE Attribute This to Kansas Pro-
hibition, Which Prevents Sale
&c ;1,,o-o

The State of Kansas, which has
been dry for 81 years, now believes in
Prohibition more than ever. Why?
Because that state, as a result of Pro-
hibition, is credited by the United
States army with having produced a
division of selective draft soldiers
that are the finest, cleanest, healthi-
est and most vigorous in point of en-
durance that the army has ever
known, according to the official rec
ords.
This information was conveyed to
Governor Capper, of Kansas, by no
less a person than Major General
Leonard Wood, commanding officer
at Camp Funston, Kan, who is con.
sidered one of the ablest officers i'll
the United States army. AT present
General Wood is in France recover
ing from minor wounds received
while on a tour of inspection of the
French front
1--WE attribute this to Kansas Pro-
hibition, which prevents the sale of
liquor" General Wood told Govern
or Capper, in praising the physical
condition and morale of the Kansas
troops. "These Kansas boys were
brought up in clean atmosphere
they started right.
"Under ordinary circumstances,
said General Wood, "the guardhouse
in such a camp as Camp Funston
would have an average population of
200. Today we have one man i'll the
guardhouse and he is there for the
infraction of minor rule. Nothing
like such order has ever been known
in military camp.

DISTILLERY IS SUED

A Florida liquor firm has filed suit
in federal court against r. E. Wathen
and Company, of Louisville KY, dis
tillers and wholesale liquor dealers, for
the sum of $3,82572 on one contract
and $7070.22 on another made three
years ago for whisky at fixed price.
The plaintiff asserts that Wathen has
refused to deliver either warehouse re-
ceipts or whisky, and these shipments
are asked, plus interest at per cent
from last August until paid, subject to
the small credits on both contracts.

new YORK PREACHERS WANT war
EMERGENCY PROHIBITION
Commend Governor Whitman for His
Stand for Statewide Prohibi-
ton and Pledge Support
to Make Nation Dry

The third annual union preachers
under the auspices OF tn
Anti Saloon League of New Yorl
was held in the Marble Collegiat
Church of New York city on Januar.
%. The meeting gave vigorous ex
preston to its appreciation of tn
things accomplished by the Anti-Sa
loon League of New York, and unani
adopted the following resolu
tons:
/. We respectfully urge the
President of the United States to
stand for immediate war Prohibi-
ton by congressional enactment,
in view OF the limitation upon
his own power in the premises
contained in the food conserya-
ton act.
2. We call upon the United
States Senators from New York
and the members of Congress
from districts represented by our
constituency to do their utmost
at the earliest possible date, to
give us national Prohibition for
the duration OF the war and the
period of rehabilitation, and
upon our State Senators and AS
scmblynen to pass the war emer-
gency Prohibition bill introduced
at Albany, pending action by
Congress.
3. We denounce as liquor
subterfuge the proposal to sub
nit to a popular referendum the
question of ratification of the fed
eral Prohibition amendment when
there is no warrant in law for
such action, and when such vote
if taken will have no binding
force and will settle nothing
We call upon our representatives
in the Legislature to ratify this
amendment at once and thereby
give expression to the moral con-
victions of the people of the state
4. We express Our apprecia-
ton of the help given by Gov
ernor Charles S. Whitman in
passing the city local option law
and of his outspoken declaration
in favor of the ratification OF the
Prohibition amendment, and call
upon the people to uphold his
hands i'll all efforts which he may
make to secure the rights of the
people and promote the interests

1t is the great consolation of Can
ada that, though their sons may fall
before this tempter's trade in Britain,
they will go back to a Canada free
from drink. But some will never go
back, and they are not on the roll
of honor. They have been destroyed
by the enemy within our gate, this
trade that traps men on their way to
France and digs their graves.

IT WILL SWAT THE Kali

According to the Philadel-

ton is being given in Pcnnsyl-

credited TO the Boston Herald,
which says:
There is just one man
who can, in our judgment,
check this Prohibition tide,
and that is none other than
the Kaiser. II he should
bring the war to close the
country would feel very dill
fercntly toward the COM
plete suppression OF the liq-
quor traffic, including wines
and peers. The radical
measures of war conserva-

every hand, creating an at
mosphere highly favorable
to Prohibition, and in that
atmosphere the plant will
grow to fruitage.

VIRGINIA is PLEASED
bristol, Va, Courier)

Virginia has been Prohibition state
since November 1, 1916, and so gener-
ally beneficial have been the effects of
the new policy that thousands of men
who voted against it would now vote
for it if the question were again before
the people. Governor Stewart was
among those who did not favor Pro-
hibition but, in his message to the
Legislature the other day, he recon-
mended the ratification of the national
Prohibition amendment.
