Says Prohibition in Oklahoma Cost
Him a Million.
Adolphus Busch, the millionaire
brwer of St. Louis, was quoted in
an interview at Kansas City as say
ing he favored local option and partial
Sunday closing. Mr. Busch, with his
wife and a party of friends, passed
through Kansas City in his special
car on their way to Pasadena, Cal.,
where the brewer has a winter home.
"I am in favor of local option,"
said Mr. Busch in reply to the ques
tion of a local newspaper man. "If
a saloon is obnoxious to a community,
let it be voted out." He continued:
"As to Sunday closing, I have a plan
that should meet with universal ap
proval. It is this: Close the saloon
from midnight Saturday until 2
o'clock Sunday afternoon, and then
let them open. That would give
everyone an opportunity, to go to
church in the morning"
The widespread prohibition move
ment was viewed with some alarm
by Mr. Busch. "It is spreading all
over the south," he i said, "and even
Oklahoma went prohibition. That
cost a million dollars.'
