The Editor Takes An Outing.
Last Tuesday morning we accepted
an invitation extended by County At
torney Hodgkin and in company with
L. C. Peters of Omaha we accom
panied him to the public sale of Wil
liam Carson, twenty-eight miles north
east of this city. We left here at 10
o’clock and drove out to the residence
of Ernest Beaver, on the Blackbird
and he accompanied us to the sale. We
had a pleasant journey out and at the
sale met many old time friends, some
of whom we had not seen for a few
years, and spent a pleasant afternoon
with the oldtimers. It had been
nearly twenty years since we had been
in that section of the county and we
were surprised at the greatly im
proved appearance of that section of
Holt county, which is one of the
richest and most productive sections
of the county. There was a very large
crowd at the sale and everything of
fered brought good prices. The sale
netted a little over $11,000.00 and
several who were there said it was the
best sale they had ever attended. As
Mr. Carson had estimated that his
property would bring about $9,000, it
is needless to say that he is greatly
pleased at the sale. We left there
about 5 o’clock on our return journey
and had all kinds of “fun” on the home
trip. The automobile, like auto
mobiles do some times, bucked, and
after we had gone about three miles
quit. Then we occupied a seat on Joe
Schollmeyer’s wagon for a few miles,
walked a ways and then had a kind
hearted autoist—Frank Calkins—take
up part of the way to Mr. Beaver’s,
where we were headed for. After
wading the Blackbird—and it was a
little cool too—we finally arrived at
Ernest Beaver’s palatial home about
8:30 and after erasing some signs of
travel sat down to a splendid meal
served us by Mrs. Beaver, and it is
needless to say that the weary
travelers done ample justice to the
splendid repast. And by the way Mr.
and Mrs. Beaver have one of the nicest
country homes in the state. It was
built the past summer and is modern
throughout. He has hot and cold
water in every room; it is lighted by
gas and gas is also used for cooking.
A wood furnace supplies the heat.
There is a full basement, all cemented,
in which washing machines and cream
separator are run by gasoline engines.
Located as it is on the Blackbird it
must be an ideally beautiful place in
the summer time when the trees and
flowers have taken on their coats of
varied hues. After supper Mr. Beaver
cranked up his car and brought us to
town, where we arrived at 10:30 a
little tired but glad that we had made
the trip and we hope that it will not
be twenty years before we again visit
the garden spot of Holt county.
-o
Card of Thanks.
We desire to thank our many friends
and neighbors for their help and
sympathy during the sickness and
death of our beloved husband and
father. Also the friends for the
beautiful flowers.

THE SLOCUMB LICENSE LAWl
VERSUS
The Bootlegger and Express Shipments
Where the sale of liquor is open and licensed, proper supervision can be
kept, and the seller is subject to such regulation and competition that it is only
profitable for him to offer for sale pure beverages and liquors that conform to
Government standards.
Denied the liberty to purchase such beverages from a licensed dealer, the
purchaser obtains by stealth, and in violation of law, such liquors as the “blind
pig” keeper offers.
Beverages low in alcoholic content are not sold because of their bulk, and
the consequent inconvenience in handling.
The licensed dealer in Nebraska pays a substantial fee into the city treasury.
The “bootlegger” and the express company pay none. The licensed dealer must
confine his sales to the premises named in the license permit. The “bootlegger”
peddles anywhere and everywhere.
“No-license” does not keep liquor from the man who habitually misuses
beverages.
The illicit dealer finds that he can sell crude, cheap spirits as readily as pure I
liquors, which under open sale are subject to Government inspection.
In most cases where people can get the lighter beverages they do not go out ;
of their way to drink strong liquors to excess.
Here, then, lies one of the glaring evils of prohibition—the man who has j
indulged moderately now turns to the illicit seller.
Boys who are not permitted in licensed places are fascinated by the oppor
tunity to violate law, and the “bootlegger,” being under no restriction as to age
limit, introduces minors to liquors of the most vile type.
The real issue in Nebraska is between the “bootlegger” and the Slocumb
License Law.
Des Moines Deluged with Liquor
The following clipping is taken from “The
Des Moines Capital” of February 19, 1916. The
city of Des Moines adopted the “No-license”
policy a year ago (March 1st, 1915). It is to
this day a “No-license” city, but by no means
a “Dry” city.

Surprising Facts

Des Moines banished the saloons a year

But Des Moines today is consuming liquor
at the rate of a million dollars’ worth a
year—mostly whiskey.
Des Moines 1b receiving two carloads of
liquor a day.
This is at the rate of 730 carloads a year,
or fifteen trainloads of fifty cars each.
A lialf-carload of liquor goes to the towns
and mining camps in Polk county.
Figured on the same basis as the Des
Moines consumption, Polk county is drink
ing a million and a quarter dollars’ wortli
of liquor a year.

Has “No-license” in Kansas solved the boy
problem? Kansas adopted prohibition in the
year 1880, and thousands of boys in Kansas
have been born and lived to attain a mature
age without ever having entered a place in f
Kansas where liquors and beverages are sold
legally under license.

paper: a

ROONEY SAYS HIGH SCHOOL
BOYS ARE BUYING LIQUOR
Probation Officer Says He’s Collecting
Evidence
Atchison Orders Arrest of Negro Who Sold
Liquor to Boys Who Smashed
Plate Glass
"Liquor Is being sold to high school boys
by bottom characters," according to Ed.
Rooney, probation officer. 1
"We have learned that high school boys
have been buying liquor of men in the bot
toms,” said Rooney, and we are collecting
information for prosecutions. We are get
ting in the evidence of sales.
“W. E. Atchison, county attorney, yester
day afternoon ordered a warrant drawn for
the arrest of the negro who is said to have
sold liquor to Reuben Nledens and Jonie Bar
ret, the two boys who took Mrs. Ida Brown
ell’s Ford from In front of her residence,
205 Madison, and began a mad career of
window smashing that ended in their arrest.
Niedens is 17, Barrett 14. The boys gave
information to Atchison about purchasing
the liquor. The warrant will be served this
morning.”
Does Prohibition Banish Poverty ?
Sorry Conditions in Kansas
To the many sincere people who hope and
believe that the “No-license” policy tends to
minimize poverty, it will come as a severe
shock to read the following article taken from
the “Topeka State Journal,” Topeka, Kansas,
of January 10, 1916. The article speaks for
itself. The reader’s attention is called to the
fact that this article was published after the
state of Kansas had had thirty-five years of
“No-liCense. ”
(Topeka State Journal, January 10, 1916.)
POVERTY IS WIDESPREAD
It Cost Kansas Counties $607,.'(80.03 Last Year
This Is Exclusive of Aid Dispensed From
Other Sources
Mothers’ Pensions $29,080
Xew Law Is in Effect in But Twenty-five
Counties
Levy of One Per Cent in Ottawa County
For Charity
In one year Kansas counties spent $607,
580.03 for aid of indigent poor, and under
the provisions of the Mothers’ Pension law,
according to reports compiled by Senator
J. VV. Howe, secretary of the State Board
of Control. The expense is independent of
state and local aid. According to the re
ports received by Senator Howe, 12,871 per
sons received county benefits.
Kansas Criminals are Multiplying
Decreasing in Nebraska
The “No-license” policy became the law of
Kansas on November 23, 1880. Thirty-five
years later an article appeared in the “Topeka
State Journal” of November 13, 1915, which
throws considerable light on the question as to 1
whether the “No-license” policy of Kansas has
solved the crime problem in that state. Here
is the article: I
(Topeka State Journal, November 13, 1915.) |
ARE KANSAS PEOPLE GROW ING WORSE! j
Or Are the Laws ll-dng More Rigidly
Enforced!
Hig Increase in Number of Prisoners Sent

INCREASE 7» OVER LAST YEAR j
Sixty-five Counties Turned in Total of 272
Convicts
Shawnee Heads List With Twenty-One
While more criminals were sent to the ;
state penitentiary during the fiscal year end
ing June 30 than were sent during the pre
ceding year, there are forty counties in
Kansas that sent no prisoners to the state
prison last year. Sixty-five counties trans
ported 272 prisoners to the penitentiary dur
ing the year, at a total cost of $3,396.08, as
shown by a report issued today from the
office of the state auditor. j
Note—There were forty-five Nebraska coun
ties that did not send a single prisoner to the
state penitentiary during the entire year of
1915. On December 31. 1914, there were 369
inmates in the Nebraska penitentiary, and on J
December 31, 1915. there were 359, a decrease j
of ten.
