OH?BITION IN KANSAS.
ATYPICAL PHOMIlimOMST TALKS
ABOUT TJJE LAW.
[From tho Now York Timos.]
TOPBKA, KAN., July 22.-In a
provious dispatoh I have spoken of
tito Radicalism which has sorved to
intrench prohibition in Kansas and
which promises to keep it in opera
tion indefinitely. Outsido of Kan
sas ono finds no counterpart of this
spirit. It seems to bo peculiarly a
product of tho soil. It is as near
akin to Puritanism as anything 1
can think of.
Socially theso Prohibitionists aro
charming; in tho ordinary business
walks tltoy aro pleasant and attrac-1
tivoj but question tito merits of their
hobby and you arouse the spirit
which in so many seems fanatical.
They will liston to an anti-prohibi
tion argument, but the person who
makes it is speedily made to feel
that ho is an object of pity. Politi
cally they ate backed by tho Repub
licans, who nover fail to insert pro
hibition planks in their platforms.
Every woman voter in Kansas is a
prohibitionist at heart, and it must
not be forgotton that tho woman suf
frage sentiment is constantly grow
ing here. Owing to tito lack of
large oitics in Kansas a community
feeling obtains, which is not discerni
ble in any Eastern Slate. Ononn
familiar with this feeling, and with
tho other peculiar conditions attach
ing to Kansas-and a non-resident
will never thoroughly understand
thom-cannot bo blamed for taking
stook in the present talk of resub
mission, which was really started by
Missouri newspapers circulating in
this State.
In order that tho readers of the
Times may gain a fair idea of thc
dominant feeling in Kansas, I pro
poso to introduce here a typical
Kansas prohibitionist and permit
him to make arguments in behalf of
tho institution he favors. Mr. J. W.
Gleed has made a reputation at the
State bar, and was retained by tho
State in tito celebrated Mugler and
Walruff brewery cases before the
United States Supreme Court. He
has lived in Kansas since 1800, and
is .a professor in the State Law
Sohool. His views differ from those
of tho average advocate of prohibi
tion only because they are deeply
tinged with philosophy, reinforced
by ostensivo knowledge of the law.
But they are interesting, even to an
anti-prohibitionist.
"Prohibition," said he, "is here to
stay. Thc pooplo of Kansas will not
bo very much affected by elections
adverse to prohibition itt other States.
They have tried prohibition and
found it a good thing."
"What basis have you for claim
ing Hint prohibition is good for tho
State?" T asked.
"To begin with, those who main
tain that prohibition is wrong in prin
cipio urge that it leads to hypocrisy
and perjury; that it is an attempt
to make men good by law; that it
invades without justification the
realm of pure ethics; that it is a
blow at thc moral dignity of man;
that it creates a crime out of an ac
tion winch was not, before tho law
was passed, a crime, and which is not
mahon in se; that it does violence to
personal liberties which ought to be
sacred, and that it ignores moral dis
tinction. Those who oppose prohi
bition on the ground of alleged prin
ciple are men whoso thoughts run
mainly on abstract questions-men
who arc unfamiliar with affairs-pro
fessors in theological seminaries or
sociologists who form theories and
then hunt arguments and facts to
support them.
"Every section of the criminal
code leads lo deceit, hypocrisy, per
jury and other offences against the
moral and civil law. All municipal
law, civil or criminal, is an attempt
to make men good by compulsion in
tho same sense that prohibitory laws
are attempts to make men good by
compulsion. All municipal laws in
vade the realms of ethics and aro a
blow at thc mola! dignity of men.
Nearly all criminal laws when first
enacted made acts criminal which
had not before been looked upon us
such. Killing in a duel is a crime
now; it was not a crime two hun
dred years ago. Under certain cir
cumstances, to cause the death of a
fellow-being by one's negligence is
now manslaughter; it was not so
once. Criminal codes now control,
or attempt to control, the sexual re
lations to an extent which was not
dreamed of in Greece timi Rome,
nor in England three hundred years
ago. Gambling is a crime now; it
wasn't once. It is a crime for oven
an innocent man to break jail. No
thing seems more innocent in itself.
"All civil law does violence to
personal liberties. No form of so
ciety is possible without the surren
der of personal liberties. People
seldom follow out tho personal liber
ty argument. Tito ravages of the
liquor traffic are terrible. This is
admitted. The evils resulting from
the sale and consumption of intoxi
cants aro beyond computation. Tho
M?'
'saloon, whothor you look ut it from a
moral, a politioal or an economical
point of view, is a curso. It is tl>c
mother of nil other crimes. Intern
pernnco is a peculiar danger-insinu
ating, persistent. For live centuries
tho ICngHsh-speaking raco has boon
trying to protect itsolf by restrictivo
legislation. Pestriclivo legislation
hos failed. Tho danger has grown
gloater. It has boon demonstrated
that tho only way to do away with
its evils is to do away with thc traillo
or endure tho evils,
"Now ono individual rises and
says: 'My personal rights must re?
main intact. I must bo allowed to
sell, buy and drink as I please.' On
tho other hand rises another individ
ual and says: 'I, too, have personal
rights. Must I ho taxed to arrest,
convict, support and punish the cri
minals produced by tho liquor traillo
in order to allow my friend his por
sonnl right to drink ? Society owes
as much to mc as to my friond. Tho
free sale of liquor produces from
time to time in our community a
number of human brutes and mani
acs who kill, maim and rob and en
danger my family and property. I
and my family have a right to the
freedom of the city. If tho city
contains saloons my wife is in dan
ger of insult on tho public streets at
any time. There are forced upon us
thc sights, sounds and smells which
attend tho saloon, and which arc ob
noxious to us, and from which we
have tho right to he exempt. I have
political rights; tho saloon has cut
thom oft again and again.'
"All municipal law ignores moral
distinctions. It must do so in thc
natu e of things. It is the inevita
ble consequence of the imperfection
of man. These tilings aro true to
the knowledge of every lawyer, and,
therefore, these objections to prohi
bitory liquor laws can only consist
ently bo argued by tho philosophie
anarchists, who ask thc abrogation of
nil human laws. Prohibitory liquor
laws arc right if criminal law is
right. So far as abstract right is
concerned, they stand or fall with
our entire system of humanly or
dained law. They aro consistent
with all other human laws. Prohibi
tory laws and all their consequences
have been sustained by all thc
Courts. Courts cannot consistently
sustain any law restricting thc sale
of intoxicating liquors without alsc
sustaining prohibitory liquor laws
and no philosophical objection lief
against a prohibitory law that does
not lie equally against thc multiforn
restrictive legislation, which has ii
five centuries appeared upon tin
statute books of England and tin
United Stales. To those sincorel;
seeking to form just opinions of pro
hibition I would say: 'Ile not to<
m liol) influenced by the opinions o
your neighbors.' So many thing
arc decided by a count of noses ii
this country that it is not stirprisinj
if opinions, or so-called opinions, ar
often determined in thc same waj
I conceive the opinions of thc follow
ing classes of men oil the question c
tho right or the policy of prohibit io
to be wholly unworthy a moment1
attention; first, those who have o
think they have a pecuniary interest
primaryjor secondary, in thc manu
facture or sale of intoxicating liquor?
second, those who have no care fo
tho welfare of society, no desire t
see social conditions improved, n
sympathy with tho woes of otho
men, no comprehension of tho evil
resulting from tho usc of alcohol)
beverages. I think that these tw
classes include 00 per cent of al
those who opposo prohibition. Onl
thc opinions of those who desire t
see thc evils of intemperance abat
are worth considering."
"Do you deny the existence c
grounds for argument in regard t
prohibition ?" 1 said.
"The only ground is expediency
Prohibition is not wrong, but if
bc certain that it cannot ho reason I
1 ?1 v well enforced I think it unwis
to enact it. In any community ;
any tinto tho question is simply titi
Is there a good working majority
thoroughly in earnest, with moue
and talent at its command favorin
the enforcement of the law?"
"And how about Kansas?"
"Kansas had a fighting majorit
on tho side of prohibition. N<
much iigiiiiiig was necessary in stun
towns. As a rule thc larger tl
town the longer it took to closo si
loons. It has taken eight, years t
close the saloon, but at last they ai
all shut up OXCCpt those oil the bo
der of Kansas City, Mo. Our oxpi
porionco in Kansas was this: /
first, good rion escaped jury servit
if they could. Business men wei
timid about antagonizing thc salo?
keeper. As witnesses they mun
bled, as jurymen they hoodwjnkc
themselves. Prosecuting attorney
delayed, waiting to seo what tl
people meant. Pow convictioi
wert! had; liquor was sold oponl
But presently the people rallie
Tli0 business man grew ashamed <
himself. Ile no longer mumbled ?
a witness. If lie bought beer i
Smith he said so. As a jurymen 1
looked himself square in the fae
Thc half-hCnrtCd prosecuting atto
ney took hohl in earnest, or was r
tired at thc polls. At first thc he
legal talent was arrayed on tho sido
of tho defense Tho best legal tal
eat began to be ashamed of itself or
got retained on the sido of. the peo
ple. Tho Legislature changed tho
statutes from time to time as expe
rience demonstrated dofeots. Tho
law is iioWtWcll enforced."
"There is a wide difference of opi
nion on that question, Mr. Gleed."
. "I will admit that it is not en
forced absolutely. In proportion to
tho magnitude of tho evil, and tho
prevalence of temptation, howovor,
it is bettor enforced than other crimi
nal laws. Not a twentieth of tho
crimes committed any whero is ovor
punished. Still wo bolievo that
criminal law prevents very much
crime. A much largor percentage
of those who break tho law against
liquor soiling are punished than
thoso who break thc law against
theft. Kansas was novor so prosper
ous as it has boon in tho last eight
years, but this prosperity is not nec
essarily duo to prohibition alono.
Merchants estimate the losses from
bad debts at one-third less under
prohibition than before. Tins is
natural. Wo cannot be sure that
our prosperity was due to thc pro
hibitory law; neither can our oppo
poncnts say that the present dull
times are due to the prohibitory law.
Take tho eight years altogether and
it is demonstrable that no communi
ty ever accomplished so much in an
equal space of time. Our jails eon
tain fewer prisonci's, our poor houses
fewer paupers than beforo tho
law went into effect. Our criminal
dockets are smaller. We have no
saloons. We have no drunkenness
on election day. Our women vote
in tho cities 'io the same polling places
with men. Liquor plays no part
whatever in our politics. Morally,
the State is better off. Drunken
ness luis decreased greatly. Boys
arc not taught to drink. Thousands
of young men wdio were once accus
tomed to drink two or three times
daily drink no more. Tho old
drunkards may bo drunkards still,
but there is no new crop of drunk
ards coming up."
Taking into consideration tho
fact-patent to careful observers on
the ground-that this kind of talk
is endorsed by two out of three vot
ing Kansans, and that the upper
branch of the Legislature, which is
pledged to prohibition, holds over
for two years, even a prejudiced
mind cnn see that the present agita
tion for re-submission is premature.
And in thc face of 82,000 Republi
can majority-on a prohibition plat
form, too-What hope is there for
re-submission for a decade at least?
A certain deacon in a church,
which shall be nameless, had thc bad
habit of snoaring while asleep during
divine service. Ono Saturday eve
ning ho received the. following note :
"Deacon-is desired not to com
mence spearing to-morrow until the
sermon is begun, as some persons in
thc neighborhood of his pew would
like to hear the text."
There is a premium on twins in
Omaha. The Republican of that
oity offers to every child born be
tween January 16, 1C80, and April
16, 1800, whose parents subscribe to
tho Republican, one chance in draw
ing for a building lot, worth now
$1,500, and guaranteed to be worth
$10,000 before the child becomes of
age. Twins, of course get two
chances.
"Gentlemen of the dury," said
counsel in an agricultural case,
"there were thirty-six hogs in that
lot-thirty-six. I want you to re
member that number-thirty-six
hogs. Just three times the number
that arc in the jury box."
