Dr. McKeever turned to the remedy.
Il would censor out of the press every
report Of crime not absolutely necessary
for constructive use, and l would place
every motion picture house in America
In the hands of morals court or re-
ceivership for sixty days. With that, the
crime wave would drop far below pre-
war times.
The thing which most effectively
nerves the youth for his crime is the
devilish cigaret. l would eliminate that
from the face of the EARTH" McKeever
concluded
Mckeever is credited with putting
through the Kansas Legislature the law
which prohibits the sale or gift OF cigar
cites in the State and also prevents
minors smoking in public. This law is
