II Is A SUCGSS
Prohibition in Kansas to Stay,
Says Governor Allen.
QUESTIONABLE Sent to Cover
nors of All States.
WOULD DEFEAT REPEAL ACTION
Vote Would Be Fifty to One, He
Declares.
Is Frequently Violated Same as
Other State Laws.

Prohibition is an established success
in Kansas-the original dry state
both from a moral and an economic
standpoint. Gov. Henry J. Allen is
authority for this statement.
In answer to a general question sen;
to all governors recently, rs prohibi-
tion a success in your state?" Gov
ernor Allen replies strongly in the af-
firmative. The liquor law is violated
the same as any other law, the gov
ernor comedies, but any effort to re-
peal the law today would be defeated
/ by a vote O. fifty to one, he declares
Governor Aliens Letter.
The governors letter follows:
In reply to your question. Is pro
hibition successful in Kansas will
state that it is probably as successful
as the other laws.
1T is frequently violated, just as
the laws against the theft of automo-
biles. chicken stealing and other Of
fenses. but the state would not dc
without it.
1T has been upon the statute books
over a quarter of a century and we
are in the second generation of young
men who have not seen a saloon
Liquor is rather we'll out of our sys-
tenn and those who have watched the
progress of the prohibitory law in
been a great success, not only from an
i'ethical but from an economic stand
point.
An Economic Issue.
prohibition is really an economic
issue and any state that has given it
an honest trial, as we have in Kansas
will soon realize the direct benefits
which accrue to the general popula-
tion, thru the saving of waste and the
better efficiency which follows the do
ing away with the saloon.
Prohibition has won its way in
Kansas upon its merits during a fight
of more than twenty-five years. When
the law was first passed, there was a
very strong opposition to it. and for
the first fifteen years of its existence
upon the statute books one of the po-
litical parties always put a plank in
its platform calling for a resubmis-
sion of the prohibition amendment.
Men ran for office. upon wf1at they
called wet tickets, which meant that
they would use their influence in IA
vor of liquor.
Victory Not Sentimental.
Every year opposition to the law
grew greater, every session of the
legislature strengthened its provisions
and today any man speaking in favor
of thu repeal of the prohibitory
amendment would be regarded as a
distinct oddity Today any effort to
remove the prohibitory law from the
statute books of Kansas would be de-
feated by a vote of fifty to one.
This victory is not a sentimental
one, but the result of the practical
operation of the law"

TO AID IN REBUILDING DAM


At a meeting Of the city council held
Tuesday evening the chief matter un-
der discussion was the rebuilding Of
the mill dam. and an agreement was
reached whereby the dam would be
rebuilt if the Great Northern Railroad
third and Mr.. Metzroth, the owner Of
the mill, the remaining third.
The railroad company announced
that it would pay third toward the
rebuilding of the dam, not to exceed
$4,000, and the city council expressed
ing that this met with the approval
of the citizens. 1t has therefore been
decided to call a mass meeting of the
citizens TO pe held this Thursday eve
ming at the. city hall.
If favorable action Is taken at this
meeting arrangements for the rebuild
ing or the dam will commence at once.
for otherwise both the Great Northern
and the city will have to provide for
a different water supply before the
winter season.
If the dam is not rebuilt the city
will have to proceed at once with the
location Of wells and building Of same
and would also have to lower the
water mains. which runs across the
river on the east side and lies in the
bottom Of the mill pond, to point
below the frost line. The cost Of all
this would be considerable in excess OF
the $4,000 which would be given
toward the rebuilding Of the dam.
Sentiment throughout the city ap-
pears to be that the city should aid
in the construction Of the dam, pro.
viding the dam is built at once and
the expenditures, which would have to
be made in case the dam is not built
this year, avoided. The dam is a ben.
eft to the city. the mill pond adding

He was on his way home from Sank

men, who were standing beside a large
automobile at the side of the road
At first Mr.. Heuszel thought that they
had trouble with their car but as
soon as they stopped him, they drew
revolvers and ordered him to hold his
hands up. After taking about $35,
they ordered him to leave in his car
and fired two shots in his direction to
hasten his departure.
The license numbers on their big
car were so we'll covered with mud
that it was impossible to read the
numbers. After giving the command
to halt, the robbers partly covered
their faces with handkerchiefs, which
they wore around their necks-Paynes-

You can't help but enjoy the harmless
pranks of "FreckleS Barry" as the
real American school boy in the small
school Of years ago and he portrays
this character in way that perhaps
no other youngSter could quite equal :.
When Gus Edwards produced School

Courage" is the title Of Sidney
Franklin's second production from his
own studio for release by Associated
First National. The subject Is u wloe
deviation from his initial production,
which was an adoption of Howard Nc

screen. Courage" portrayed by an
excellent cast, including Naomi Chill
ders, Alec Francis, Sam de Grasse,
Lionel Belmore, Lloyd Whitlock,
George Nichols, Adolph Menjou and
fIdy HOWarO, Is d Will
a big theme. 1t will be shown at the

Scenes of Derby days at prominent
race tracks are wildly recalled in the
William Fox special, "Thunderclap,"
at the Caughren Theatre Wednesday
and Thursday, June 21-22, the piece
de resistance of many thrills and
pleasing situations being one of the
most exciting horse races yet seen
either on the track or on the silver
screen. ..
For the nonce, the atmosphere Of
the motion picture fades into a typical
Empire or Latonia scene in which one
finds himself again good naturally
jostled by the vast throng and strug-
Cling for point Of vantage as the
entries parade before the admiring
thousands. Again there is the sus-
pense as the riders Jockey for ad-
vantage at the wire, the snap of the
barrier, the shout, They're Off," the
clatter Of steel-shod hoofs, the sub
dued eagerness while the pageant
fairly flies down the back stretch, the
turn into the final eighth, the closing
squirt, the flash beneath the wire and
the shouts for thhe victor.
1t is all SO real, so genuine and SO
thoroughly thrilling that this feature
alone is sufficient for the entertain
ment of those who witness Thunder
clap" There are many other thrills
in the life Of the little covenent girl
| who finds such a different world
| when cast among gamblers.
