Dry Kansas Will Vote On Repeal
But Wet Christmas Seems Unlikely

TOPEKA, Kan. (U.PD-It will
be bootleg liquor for Multitude
eggnog in Kansas again this
year.
This is the studied opinion of
the states hard-hitting, expert
renced attorney general, Edward
F. Arm. He feels so despite
what may happen when Kansas
will choose between dry and
a wet section for their state con
stitution in a referendum on the
liquor question this November.
Arm said in an interview that
the states constitution was but
one of voluminous series OF
legal statutes that limit Christ
mas cheer in Kansas to a JOY
full, if sober, rendition of Christ
mas carols. The history of the
red tape which Kansas temper
ance workers have thrown "a
round the 'XXX' bottle gees
back 60 years.
How 1t Started
In 1879, John P. St. John was
elected the eighth governor of
Kansas. St. John was "a power
full champion of temperance
and a bitter foe of the liquor
traffic" In his inaugural ad-
dress, the new governor SAID;
Gould we but dry up tn S
great evil we would hardly need
prisons, poorhouses or police
Attorney General Arm desagre
ed with St. John almost seven
decades later when he complain
ed that the agents of his office,
of the Kansas bureau of investi
cation, troopers from the state
highway patrol and deputies
from the 105 county sheriff Of
fees were not sufficient to en-
force the "bone-dry" laws. But
the legislature of 1879 did not
have the benefit of Arms ex-
perience.
Amendment Unique
1t drew up an amendment to
the still juvenile Kansas consti-
tuition. The amendment said
1.-The manufacture and sale of
intoxicating liquors shall be for
ever prohibited in this state, ex
Roanoke Rapids daily herald., 1948-09-23

cept for medical, scientific and
mechanical purposes"
The passage of that act made
Kansas the first state ever to
adopt a prohibitory amendment
to its constitution.
The "bone-dry" law was pass
ed by the legislature of 1881 to
back up the prohibitory amend
ment. 1t put more teeth in the
temperance victory by making
possession of liquor in Kansas
a criminal offense, as well as
the manufacture and sale. The
was stopped by the highway pa
troll near Kansas University.
The CT had several bottles of
liquor in his car. He had bought
the whiskey in Missouri and was
taking it home to neighbors and
friends for the holidays.
In district court, the judge con
fiscated the young m a n S
new Lincoln automobile, fined
him stiffly and added a short
Jail term.
Sympathetic Kansans took up
a collection and bought him a
new car.
Attorney General Arm, who
admits a taste for a highball
and who will tell you frankly he
wants Kansas to vote wet n
November, pointed out that
mere repeal of the dry section
in the state constitution will not
change the picture at once.
1.-THE laws with the teeth in
them aren't in the constitution. :"
he said. "They will have to be
repealed, if ever, by the legis-
lature."
The constitutional amend =
ment on which Kansans will
vote in Novebmer merely gives
the legislature authority to:
Provide for the prohibition of
intoxicating liquors in GER
tain areas. Subject to the fore
going, the legislature may regu-
late, license and tax the manu-
facture and sale of intoxicating
liquors, and may regulate the
possession and transportation of
Intoxicating liquors. The open
saloon shall be and is hereby
forever prohibited.

Gandhi Slayer Says
He Aided Humanity,
W ants No Mercy
BY the Assoeic.sd Press

New Delhi, Nov. 3.-Defense law
yers released today statement
signed by Narayan vinayak Godse
saying he killed Mohandas K.
Gandhi purely for the benefit Of
humanity"
The 68-page statement invited the
court now trying Godse to pass the
maximum sentence of death by
hanging, saying, Il do not desire
any mercy be shown me nor any one
beg for mercy on my Behalf"
The statement was released by
the defense after four months of
the trial Of Godse and II others
accused Of aiding and abetting him
in the January 80 assassination of
Gandhi. 1t was not introduced in
court today because of a last-minute
move by the prosecution.
Invites Verdict of Posterity.
The courtroom was crowded with
persons who expected Godse's state
ment would be introduced today.
The crowd obviously was disappoint-
ed when the prosecution announced
1t wished to question several more
witnesses, delaying introduction of
the statement.
The prosecution indicated it
would conclude its questioning at
the end of the week and that
Godse's statement would be intro
duced Monday.
In his statement Godse expressed
Confidence about the moral justi-
fication" of his act in firing the fatal
shots, and appealed to posterity to
weigh my act and find the true
value thereof"
Wished His Victim Luck.
He said he personally respected
Gandhi's saintliness and before I
fired the shots I actually wished
him luck and bowed to him in
reverence"
But Gandhis policy and action,
he said, brought ruin to millions
Of Hindus."
Detailing Gandhis concessions to
the Moslems, Godse declared the
climax was reached when the Hindu
leader began a fast in January on
behalf of better treatment Of
Moslems by Hindus. The fast
compelled the Indian government to
make concessions to the Moslem
government OF Pakistan, he said.
