" \VldlolCiuisas has been under such laws slnco
1SS1 , there have been only six jeara of practi
cal enforcement of the law In auy of the
towns nud cities of the state , and it can
safely bo snlil that it has uovcr been enforced
in the larger cities. During tlio months and
years devoted to the work of closing the open
saloons , no feature of prohibition was noticed
Tjoyond the tenacity with which the liquor

men \vlio voted for the prohibition In good
faith. There Una way to stop tlio Inllowlng
current of Intoxicants which is spivmlhiK to
the homos nnd lltwldcs. The country Is full
of mtsKiildi'd women who Imvo taken up the
crusade and nro ( tided and abetted by white-
hnndod men who obtain money from the
ptejudlccs of humutilty against the nun

pottlons. Tell them of this nnd they will
promptly call you nltnr , and point with
pildo to the fact thut not a saloon c.m bo
round In Wdshinton.
Whether this sort of thing Is common to
other prohibition st'.iUH or not 1 do not know ,
but it seems to mo tlmt It must result tlio
same everywhere. It is a natural
and logical result of prohibition ,
Some of our people claim that
tlio same facts would oxlst under license.
'L'hoy could not. Minors would ho barred
from tlio saloons , und not u wholesale liouso
or brewery In the country would ship n sin
gle package of goods in competition with a
local saloon nny more than n wholesale gro
cer would itccopt a single order In competi
tion Avlth n retail grocer.
Sunday "beer drinks" arc another feature
of prohibition. Haifa down farmers "chip
in" und buy two or thieo kegs of beer nnd
the whole neighborhood meets at sonw one
house and Imvo n Sunday social with beer
uud whisky us the I'hlof feliture. It Is no un
common thing for half a divon of thcso meet
ings to occur within ten miles of this town ,
and in the uggri'g.ito the beer and whisky
thus drank would stock two saloons n week.
'Xlio stuff comes every day , but Siturday is
tlia bljjday. I have scon the tlmolien a
4icightc..irwas nddcd to the pa-.scngor train
from Wynioro to Conconlla in order to carrv
tlio Oiprcsi packages of liquors. The worst
fo.ituro about the whole matter is that while
every town along this branch in Kansas Is
decreasing lu population , this jug business Is
increasing.
Prohibition In Kansas has made perjurers
by the hundreds , nnd liars by the thousands ,
Kvcn In so Itw-ablding nnd moral a county us
Washington It Is almost Impossible to convict
a whisky seller nnil that lu spite of the re
versal of nil rulM of criminal prosecution , yet
this county has plenty of men and women
who freely write outside of the state that
liquor drinUinpt has largely decrease J under
prohibition and that the law Is rigidly en
forced.
The experience of cities and the absolute
failure to enforce the law Is a matter of his
tory so well established that I nocd not say a
word about it , hut I wish to refer such tflo-
brasldi voters us nro not already fixed in their
convictions to the things sot forth herein ns
true ; and for proof I oslt them to como to this
city of li-l ) ! ) people aud stay ono week und
keep their ojes open , nakiiig no questions ,
taking no second hand opinions.

\Vlll You Do It ?
WICHITA , Ivan. , Juno 20. Prohibition does
not mean temperance. If the pooploof the
great state of Nebraska desire to lese all
control over tha sale of Intoxicants , lot them
vote for prohibition. If they desire free
whisky , let thorn vote for prohibition and
their desire will bo accomplished. If the
people dojlro to remove the licensed saloon
nnd have two or nioro dives take the saloon's
place , where boys as well as mon can go and
arlnk the vile liquor kept in thcso dives , lot
them vote for prohibition , and all this and
more will be yours to enjoy. If it is an In-
crcaso of taxation that the people lire longing
for , let them vote for prohibition. It the
people of Nebraska doslro to stop all immi
gration Into their state , let thoin vote for
prohibition nnu jou will not bo bothered
further A\lth looking after Immigrants.
If it-is the wish of the people to have a
host of bbft-hnuded cranks , who were uovcr
Ifnowu to produce anything , not oven a house
to live in , to control their great state , \-oto
for prohibition. If the people desire to ro-
niovo the saloon from where it now Is to the
collar of the average ' prohibitionist , vote for
prohibition.
Much more could bo said by any person
who has carefully investigated the working
of prohibition -laws in Maine , Iowa and Kan
sas , but I expect I have covered all the space
I should lu your valuable paper.

Juno UO. Prohibition is not true tompor-
ancc. U'horo bus been no tJood Templar or
blue ribbon society , no true temperance loo-
turcr In the state stnco the law was enacted.
Fanatics , relying entirely on the strong arm
of the law to reform people , have been hero ,
and the result Is there are fewer teetotalers
than before the law w.is enacted. There Is
nioro drunkenness in the home , as can bo
demonstrated by the tr.dl of bocr and ex
press wiiROiis all over the towns of the state ,
and the offlco , nnd the shop , and tha hotel , It
has become far more respectable to drink In
Kansas than before the law. Seven-tenths
of the ofllccholdors elected on a ticket that
had prohibition in the platform , cclobrato
every event of their lives by a drinking bout.
Thcro has been nioro cant , more hypocrisy ,
more sneaking , inoro perjury , more lying ,
more moral degradation than from any law
that any people Avero ever cursed Avith , nud
has cost the state of Kansas , as It will cost
auy state that adopts It , hundreds of mil
lions of dollars , ana cursed the state besides.
Prohibitionists claim that all the moneyed
element U-with them. So far as the agita
tion of the prohibition question in Kansas is
concerned this ls.not truo. Thcro has not
been a speech made , Avith ono or two excep
tions , in fnvor of prohibition in the state of
Kansas slneo the limitation for ro-submlsslon ,
that AVOS not made by a preacher , who was
ready nt any moment to swap the pulidt for
some position or offluo tlmt paid a larger
salary. The leader of prohibition In Kansas
Is an ex-proacher now holding n federal posi-
tlonthntuajs him $4,000. .For years ho was
a political striker , a lobbyist , and the most
untruthful man In the state of Kansas. Ho
jicvor opens his mouth on prohibition that ho
docs not Avilfully and knowingly utter as
many falsehoods us he thinks his listeners
Avlll swallow. Uov. D. Kelly is his name , No
practical , fiilr minded man , who- has lived in
u town of over 5,000 people In Kansas
can truthfully claim nuythliig for prohibition.
I do not think that n do/.ou open snloonti nro
canablo of the serious Injury of ono secret
Joint. Minors , lewd AVOIIICII , thieves and
thugs nllko can visit them with Impunity.
The proprietor , ovou If disposed , dare not
open his mouth as ho Is afraid that If ho
otfends any of his A'lsltors they will outer a
complaint against him , But bo has little if
any compunction of conscience In the mutter
as ho bun hrosponslulo person at all times
and prefers to do business upon the prohibi
tion plan and votes that ticket bocuuuo it
allow * him to do business on llttlo or no capi
tal uud no license.
A. W. OUA-FII , vice prwldciit.
Hiilnod Husliioss In Kausaa.n
WICHITA , Kant. , Juno II. You ask my
opinion of prohibition. It is beyond question
the greatest delusion of the nineteenth cen
tury. The Idea of putting an end to liquor
drinking aud all Its attendant evils moots the
approval of all right thinking people and so
takes possession of the Intellects und Judg
ments ot many good Christians that they
have come to regard It ai a part of their roll *
glen and would bo greatly she , ked If tjlJ
lhat prohibition Avas not n blbla doctrine.
While they adore It as though It was ono of
the leu commandments , they nro totally blind
to the fuel that there am two place * now
vhcrc liquor Is sold to ono before prohibition
came to curse our state. True , the
word saloon has been changed to "lunch
counter , " "short order restaurant , " "meals nt
nil hours , " and n multiplicity of name * , the
noanliigofvhlclilt Avell known to the In-
tlatcd , but the advantage of the change has
never been apparent to me , us the business
carried on under cover of these various
names is tha same as before the name ASMS
changed , Indeed , I tlllnk the oiKin saloon
preferable to the secret dive. In the ono
case you can control the business nnd In tha
other you cannot. Boys and habitual drunk
ards cannot obtain liquor over nn open bar ,
while nil can obtain It in the "Joint" or secret
den , Then the revenue derived from the
regulated or licensed saloons helps to bear
the burden of municipal taxation nnd to pay
thoexpenses Incurred In prosecuting violators
of the law. Thcro" It another phiwe , or
rather result of prohibition joii Avould hardly
have suspected , it Is the number ot private
collars this law converts into veritable wine
cellars. It is safe to say that four-tlfth * of all
the men In the United Stutcs occasionally
drink a glass of wlno , bcor , tile or poislblv
whisky. It may not bo once In a year , or It
may bo once In live years , but my experlonco
Is tlmt most people sometimes take a glass
of some kind of liquor. This class , while
respectable nnd temperate , will have Avhat
they \viint , nnd in order that no embarrass
ment may arise they constantly keep lu stock
in their cellars a vai'Ietv of such liquors as
are most palatable to them. IJelng constantly
In the house with It the tendency nnd tempta
tion is to drink more than formerly , when
they slipped Into a saloon only Avhon n strong
craving uroAV them thcro.
Uut it Is when you consider its effect upon
the business intoiejts of the state that the
average man becomes deeply Interested in the
matter. A largo class of Industrious , thrifty
and altogether desir.xblo people can never bo
Induced to voluntarily settle in a prohibition
stato. I'rom my own experience of its work
ings I Avould never settle in a state where
prohibition laws prevail , unlws I was assured
of their spec ly repeal. You can have no great
nnd influential state without ono or inoro
largo titles or business centers. To build
und sustain a large city in a .state Avhero pro
hibition prevails Is un Impossibility. Liberal
customs und laws attract population to cities
AVhllo prohibition dilvos population away.
Massachusetts raiinot keen prohibition and
Boston too , and so prohibition had to iro.
Providence is of inoro value to Khode Island
than piohlbitlon nud piohtbltlon had to go.
Philadelphia Is Avorth inoro to the state
of Pennsylvania than prohibition
and prohibition was A'otod down
thereby 1SD.OOO mnjoitty. In Maine , Ver
mont , New Hampshire , Iowa , Kansas and the
Dakotns , no ono of AVlilch contains n city of
oterlilty thousand , the iniubus is still bearIng -
Ing down and sapping the energies or the
state , and A'irtually impoverishing their pee
plo. If you people In Nebraska want to
know all the beauties of prohibition , In heav
en's nnino come and live in some city in Kan
sas for four or llvo vc.irs and vouvlll have
cnough'of it.
But in Kansas the republican party com
mitted Itself to prohibition beloio know
ing what n monumental humbug it
AVIW. The diuretics , most of them ,
did the same , and it has been preached so
much , that , as I said before , mauv good people
ple consider it of divine origin , if they A\oro
told that Neal Dow of Maine and John Peter
St. John of Kansas hud each made comforta
ble fortunes out of this hobby they would not
believe It , but brand It as an invention of the
liquor Interests to injure prohibition.

A WORD
TO
FATHERS
It may be lhat some fathers who rend
our proposition will be so engrossed in
business that they will not give the matter
that consideration it deserves. Don't think
that because you have managed to get
along without a good Cyclopaedia so far
that your wives and children will have no
use for one. That would he a great mistake -
O
take for you to make. While you may
not have the desire nor time for reading ,
yet they may have , and nothing would af
ford them more pleasure than to have a
good Cyclopaedia , such as the American
ized Encyclopaedia Britannica , at hand for
consultation on all imaginable subjects. If
you can't appreciate a good thing , find out
if they would like it. If so , order it with
out delay and thus add to your own hap
piness.
I T0 ]
Mothers should see to it that their hus
bands' attention is called to the great pro
position of "THK BKE , " and impress
upon them the importance of a good Cy
clopaedia in the home and have them order
at once. This proposition will not last
always , and if you do not remind them of
it every morning they may neglect it until
it is too late , and your children will be
forced to do without while your neighbors
will have one , and it will always be a
source of 'regret that .you did not -make
your hasband get a set for your children.
"A word to the wise" is Sufficient.
A
I TO
Children !
Children- there is nothing that will be
more useful to you in getting an education
than a good Cyclopaedia in the home.There
is no suhject in the whole range of human
knowledge but what is discussed in the
Americanized Encyclopaedia Britannica ,
the latest , cheapest and best Cyclopaedia
ever published , and the arrangement is so
simple that you can find any subject in a
moment you wish to read about , and thus
gain the knowledge or information you
might be in need of without having to
spend hours reading some old history and
perhaps be disappointed in the end.
Be sure that your father calls at The
Bee office and orders a set. Ask him toand ,
if he neglects it ; just remind him of it when
he comes home at night Ask him ques
tions about places , persons and things that
you may read about during the day , Ask
him when and where George Washington
was born ; when and where he died , Ask
him when and where George AVashington
was first inaugurated president of the Uni
ted States. Ask him who planned and
built Brooklyn bridge and what it cost ,
how long it took to build and its length.1
Ask him about the Bartholdi Statue of
Liberty'and the history of the donor , If
you will ask such questions as the above ,
simple though they beve guarantee lie
will order a set of the Cyclopaedia for you
without delay.
