Miss Everett spent the week end in
Nebraska City, the guest of Mrs.

C. F. Morton has a heart of some
size, too. He donated a barrel of nice
apples to Rev. Taylor the fore part of
the week.
Mr. and Mrs. Malcom Pollard were
at home last Friday evening to about
sixty-five of their friends to meet Mr.
and Mrs. Hall A. Pollard.
The new barn that Henry Ehuman
is building on his place just east of

build a fine new residence there in the
spring.
It isn't a question any more of what
a fellow did with his summer's wages.
It seems to us it should read, "What
he should have done with his summer's
wages."
John Mattes is so well liked by some
of the Union citizens that his picture
hangs in the front window. Well, that
isnt all, everybody who knows John
Mattes likes him, for he is a man of
his word.
W. B. Banning and Joe Bauer have
departed for the northern part of the
state, where ducks and geese are more
in abundance than near Union. When
they return from their hunting trip
you will no doubt hear of many big
game stories. They intend to get back
in time to vote.

No will was made by the deceased.
The hotel which Mr. and Mrs. C. W.
Clark have been running here for
more than a year is now vacant, leav

hotel and restaurant. Mr. and Mrs.
Clark have certainly made many
friends among the traveling public
who will be surprised to learn of their
leaving, and it is to be regretted that
they have chosen to let someone else
have the hotel. Mr. and Mrs. Clark
have moved to a farm near Union.

Does Prohibition Prohibit in Kansas?
Who Will You Believe? Will You Believe Speakers Paid by the Liquor Dealers?
Or Will You Believe the Public Officials of Kansas?
I be-
more civic im-
wunt our
If j you
In May, 1916, the follow mg answers were given:
HON. GEO. H. HUNTER, Mayor of Wellington, Kansas, said:
"We are pleased with prohibition. Kansas will never go back to the open saloon."
MR. R. F. FITZPATRICK, City Clerk of Arkansas City, Kas., said:
"Prohibition is certainly the greatest blessing that can come to any community or nation
lieve this from my own observations, and I-am not a crank one the subject."
HON. W. T. HALE, Mayor of Dodge City, Kas., said:
"We have a clay and night marshal with very little to do. Our city has made
provements the last 10 years with prohibition than in 30 years with open saloon
state to go forward have phohibition and enforce it."
HON. W. T .SHORT, Mayor of Concordia, Kas., said?
"I have lived on this townsite for forty-five years. I was at the time the prohibition amendment
was submitted to the people opposed to the amendment and voted against it. I fought the law for
more than thirty years, not only in my home town, but as an official while serving two terms in the
Legislature. I have changed my mind, and firmly believe it is the redemption of the State of Kansas.
There are no places on the town site where a man can buy intoxicating drink. We have a population
of about 6,000 inhabitants. The general business of our town was never better. We haven't a sinule
bootlegger on the townsite."
HON. BEN HEILBURN, Mayor of Osage City, Kas., said:
"I will frankly state that prohibition does fairly well prohibit. As compared to open saloons, it
is a revelation. I firmly believe that out of a probable 1,000 voting population that a resubmission to
wipe out prohibition would not receive 50 votes in our city."
HON. S. D. WEAVER, Mayor of Burlington, Kansas, said:
"It is a success in our city and in our state, a success not only that it prohibits the sale of in
toxicating liquor, but that it makes our city and state better in every way and a much more desirable
place in which to live. And it is a success financially.
"Of course the prohibitory law, like other laws is violated at times; but it is enforced to such an
extent that it ranks among the best enforced laws in the state. There are no saloon joints or dives of
any kind where liquor is sold; and a drunk man is seldom seen, even drinking is rare and this occurs
on liquor shipped in from other states.
"Our city with a population of 2,300 people has an assessed valuation of $2,000,000. We have two
splendid national banks in which there is on deposit about $825,000. We have no city prison and our
county jail is an old stone building that dates way back to the early days. We have so little use for
jails that our people have not deemed it necessary to build a modern jail of any kind.
"Nothing could induce or influence our people to return to the saloon or the sale of intoxicating
liquor in any manner. We are more than satisfied and would not think of changing."
HON. FRANK O. JOHNSON, Mayor of McPherson, Kas., said:
"The law is effective and does prohibit, of course, once in a while a bootlegger will drift in and
do business and then slip out and sometimes we nab them, but it is very little intoxicating liquor being
handled in the city, you might say not any. Wre hardly ever have any arrests for drunkenness. While
I have not checked up the police records I am satisfied arrests for drunkenness do not exceed a half
dozen during the last year."
HON. F. M. HARRIS, Mayor of Ottawa, Kansas, said:
"In this city the saloons were abolished a number of years before 1SS1, and with the exception
of a few bootleggers the law is rigidly enforced. This is especially true since the passage of the statute
requiring all persons who receive shipments of liquor to sign a statement acknowledging the receipt of
it and requiring that these statements be filed in a public office. Most of the bootleggers get their
liquor in Kansas City and carry it in satchels or various kinds of packages. I have made an examina
tion of the police records of this city and find that during the year 1915 there were forty-one arrests
for intoxication and our population is a little over nine thousand. The police judge called my atten
tion to the fact that more than one-fourth of these people who had been arrested, had been taken from
trains at the station here and had come from Kansas City intoxicated."
HON J. E. PUTNAM, Mayor of Salina, Kas., said:
"Will say, from my personal opinion there is absolutely no comparison between prohibition and
even local option. While the law has not done away with drinking entirely, it has curtailed it to the
extent that no one will be injured by liquor unless he deliberately seeks that injury. The young are
not subject to these influences so commonly found in localities where liquor is either sold openly or it
is easily obtained. So far as our city is concerned, I can say candidly there is no regular place where
liquor is kept or offered for sale. We, of course, have the transient bootlegger to contend with, but their
operations are decidedly limited and -intermittent."
HON. GEO. C. McKNIGHT, Mayor of Hiawatha, Kas., said:
"Will say, in our city, prohibition prohibits. We have made eighteen arrests for drunkenness for
the year ending this date. You will remember that we are close to St. Joseph and Kansas City, Mo.,
trains run conveniently. Twelve (12) of these arrests were persons who came home from these towns.
The other six were old chronics. Two of these we worked on the street, one in chains and we think
they are cured. We have nine miles of paved streets, white way on all. $60,000 school building, every
thing else to correspond. The town has been improved morally and financially by prohibition. We think
this is a good showing for a town of 3,000 people."

dose of Chamberlain's Tablets and you
