John S. l>a\vson Attorney Gen eral of Kansas, delivered an address at Chicago April 1!H2, on "What Pro hibition Has Done for Kansas." Tho constitutional amendment prohibiting the manufacture and sale in the State, of intoxicating liquor except for med ical, scientific and mechanical pur poses was adopted In November 1S80. It has therefore, been in operation long enough to afford a reasonable test of the effects of State-wide pro hibition. Mr. Dawson acknowledges that for quite a number of years the law was openly defied In many of tho larger towns and cities. It took a long and bitter fight or the people of Kansas to convince the law defying liquor interest that they were really in earnest about banishing the Infa mous trlffic from their Stale. But they are convinced at last and for some time the prohibition laws of the State have been as consistently en forced as those against other common forms of criminal conduct. In esti mating the results of prohibition, how ever, allowance must be made for the delay occasioned by this protracted battle against anarchy, and yet, in spite of this, these results, as sum med up by the Attorney General, are thoroughly convincing. Here are a few of the more Important of them 1. Illiteracy has been reduced from 49 per cent to less than 2 per cent, and this is confined almost entirely to the foreign element In the south eastern portion of the State. 2. Eighty seven of the one hundred and five counties of the State have no Insane, fifty-four have no feeble-mind ed, and ninety-six have no inebriates. There is only one pauper in every three thousand population. Thirty eight poor farms have no inmates. In July 1911, fifty three county jails were empty, and sixty-live counties had no prisoner serving sentences, some counties have not called a jury to try a criminal case uuen years, and a grand jury is so uncommon that half the people would not know what it is 3. In 18S0 the bank savings depos its in Kansas were $:H),000,000; today they are $200,000,000. The State is now tin; richest per capita jn tnQ rn_ ion, the average wealth being $1,700, whereas tho average for the nation is only $1,200, Missouri, which adjoins Kansas and is rich in natural recourc es, has an average of less than $300. During the panic of 1907 Kansas sent $50,000,000 to New York to relieve the money market, while Missouri sent nothing. 4. In 1880 the death rate in Michi gan, Wisconsin. Iowa and Kansas was practically the same, seventeen to the thousand. Since then death rate of Kansas has gradually fallen till it is now only seven and one half, while that of the other States has slightly Increased. 5. The per capita cost of intoxicat ing liquors in Missouri is $24; in Kansas is $1.48. C. It has demonstrated that the sa loon is not a bll8ln08S, but a parasite on business. 7. It has taken politics out of the saloons and the saloons out of politics. Evory political party in Kansas now stands for prohibition, and keeping joints, dives and broth els out of cities is as much the business policy of tho average city as keeping the streets Clean, water pure, and the public parks attractive. In answer to the question as to the relative value of prohibition and high license as a means of abolishing the ovils of intoxicating liquors, Mr. Dawson says: There is no relative value. High license Is not a means of abolishing the evils of intoxicating "iquors. The only solution of the li quor problem Is its total suppression. High license is first of all a confes sion that the liquor business is a bad business. It is a bad business, and a tax upon a bad business, a cruel, vi cious, and wicked business, means that the State says to the rum seller: You are corrupting the morals of my peo ple, you are undermining the man hood of my young men, you are rob bing the cheeks of my young women of their bloom, you are poisoning the blood of my babes, you are wrecking my homes, filling my jails and fur nishing a spawn for the brothel. You are at the back of all the villainies of the age and are turning my people into drunkards, lunatics, and suicides, and you make a very large amount of money out of this Infamous business, and 1 shall require you to stand and deliver to mo a very considerable portion of this dirty money which you are making in this villainous fash ion." Does prohibition prohibit? Of course not," answers Mr. Dawson. ' Neither does a gun shoot nor a ship , sail nor a piano make music of Its town accord. It takes a man behind j the gun to make it shoot, a sailor to j sail a ship, and an artist to play the piano; so, too, with the prohibition law. It will sleep away the years in j the musty tomes of a law book and never prohibit anything unless there j are faithful executives behind It." It has been shown In Kansas, be de clares that It can be enforced even in a community where popular senti ment is against It. "It takes Just three men," he says, "to do It, a judge, a sheffiff, and a prosecuting attorney. These three and no more, who fear God and nobody else, and determined to enorce the law?not all the saloon keepers and brewers and all their fol lowers and sympathizers can prevail against them. Most important of these three Is the judge, and that is the of ficer to whom the liquor interests give the most attention and the tem perance people the least. You must have a judge, or your law enforce ment is bound to be ? inefficient. I CROSS HILL NEWS | Cross Hill, July 7?Mr. fcJ. W.
