The Distillers' Association is send Ing out a new argument against pro hibition. It says that prohibition "ruined the grape industry in Kansas" It claims that in the eighties this in dustry was over $200,000 per year, and it is estimated at less than $25,000 nOW. Tihe grape industry wasn't the only industry ruined by prohibition. There :was the mint industry. Pro hibition killed the mint julep, hence no more demand for mint except in a few homes where they made -mint sauce for spring-l,amb dressing. hen there was the blow to the egg industry. Men no longer use eggs for eggnog, since the eggnog departed. When prihibition camte the liens had I been doing their share in their free way to keel) the egg indiustry alive, and yoil could get eggs for eight Cents a dozen. Since prohibition hit. the egg induistry you iive to pay two Cents apiece for eggs. Prohibition took the life out of the liens. They do not seem to have anything to cackle abollI silce the saloon leIt us. A 1an1 over inl the easternll part of the State used to make rou lelte wheels. li e was a titne cabiniet-imlaker and the wheels he turned ou1t l'or roil lette an(1 other gaies of elhance were ioilited *%wit ivory and mother-of peal . Prohiblli tionl killed that in dus tl v also. InllWt PrOhlilition has killed about every induistry ill Kansas except the raising of, wheatl and Corni and alfalfa an1d fruit an11d live stock: potatoes and VVens Ild eabages and "gardeni sass"; chickens and ducks and geese, and horse5s and mu11es. It blisted 1ii) Maly of our most proinient gaiblers, pimralyzed the beer-gardenis, and absolutely killed tile Bartenders' Union. Prohibition has left very little of Kansas except. the growing crops in her fields, the stock in her stock-pens, tile dreary round of work, work, work, work in her -factories an(i stores and other ilidustries. It has left us little to (0 inl hours of leizure excelpt to fall in love, to get. married, selnId our chIl dreli to school, go abroad occasionally, Jin tle chlurh when we feel like it, un into each other with eXpCsi ve au ilobiles. an(d store our mo11 ne11.y away inl (111ky bank-vailts, inisteaI of givinig it to the cierfriul gentiemen With white apron1s %whi)o iused(1 to stalI in) front 01 cuit-ghlss bars an1d say infreqlentily, "This is ole Oil the lhoi sO."
