A SEEN FROMThEW WATERMELON

Time was, when Kansas used to
plume herself upon being the banner
dry state of the Union. but if the
Wichita Eagle may be believed Ma
tional prohibition has played hob
with the jay hawkers down there
among their sunfiowers. Says the
Eagle:
"These two connections (reclaimed
alcohol and corn whiskey) are being
sold almost openly in Wichita. Boys
of high school age may buy as readily
as the old soak or the confirmed
drunkard. The profits from the bust
ness are so enormous that it is no
hardship on a b~ootlegger to fine him.
Thirty days in Jail does not deter
him. AS stated before, he cannot be
convicted under the persistent vio-
lator clause. So there you are"
A few months ago the bulletin is
sued by the Board of Temperance
and Morals of the Methodist church
contained an article telling of the re-
suit of National prohibition in Kan
sas and holding it up as a shining ex-
ample of the good accomplished by
the Eighteenth amendment and the
Volstead act. Thereupon somebody
in the little town of Hanover, Kansas
went and blabbed and spoiled every
thing. He wrote a piece to the Wash
ington Star in which he described
himslf as not a prohibitionist o yet
an inebriate and replied to the article
as follows:
Evidently the author has not been
around in Kansas the last few years,
much less in Hanover. If he had he
would be aware of the fact that Kan
sas is about as wet as it alwayh has
been and, in spots, even more SO.
"It's a cinch he has not been in
Hanover, where bootlegging is an in
dustry as is common knowledge.
eff the cellars in this place were
examined right now at least three
fourths of them would be filed with
home brews of some kind or other,
and whiskey is as easy to obtain as
at Washington, and that's a joke.

at the farce of prohibition within its

Sergeant Rhoda Milliken, chief aide
to Lieutenant Nina C. Van Wrinkle,
head of the Women's Bureau of the
Washington Police Department,
speaking before the Woman's Nation
al Committee for Law Enforcement,
said that "high school boys sell liquor
to high school girls who think they

buy corr liquor and drink it. The
girls think they are being good sports
when they buy the liquor. They do
not mean to be bad; they only drink

DR.. Nicholas Murray Butler, pres
ident of Columbia University, made a
few remarks upon prohibition at the
annual dinner of the Missouri society
held in New York City the first of
the month. DR.. Murray took this oc-
casion to express his opinion of the
statesmen who are standing firm for
the present prohibition laws.

Hudson Maxim, the famous invent
or, now 70 years of age and in the
best of health, admits that he eats
and drinks almost anything. except
kerosene. He paid his respects to
prohibition and it's army of stool-pi-
geons, agents and officers in the fol-
lowing vigorous language when he
addressed a large audience in New
York City not long ago. Mr.. Maxim
said in part:
"The most pertinent, the most gil
gantic and the most iniquitous mea-
sures to fatten parasites at the ex-
pense of the public have been those
measures that have imposed Federal
prohibition upon US. Those measures
are the most suicidal that have ever
been enacted, and the havoc of pro-
hibition is so great as to transcend
understanding.
"Never before were there such OPP
portunities for parasitism. Never be-
fore have there been such tempta-
tions and high rewards for a life of
crime. Never before has there been
such a well nigh universal lawless-
ness throughout the land. Never be-
fore has there been a tenth part of
as much graft paid to politicians and
all manner of Government officials
as is being paid under prohibition"
