Does Prohibition
Prohibit?
The Testimony of the
GOVERNOR OF KANSAS
(Extracts from an article in the St. Lonia Poat
Dispatch of Jan. 30, 1916.
"Oov. Arthur Capper of Kansas Is looking- for a man who
can develop some method, psychological, mechanical or other
wise, to extract the truth from ordinarily good citlieni who are
customers of bootleggers." ,
"What Kansas needs most (said the governor) is someone
who will evolve some method of extracting the truth from the
patron of a bootlegger. The man who buys booze in Kansas
is given to an exaggerated sense of honor."
"It isn't a olub or lodge proposition, either. There are
ties of fraternity that would cause a man to refuse to divulge
the sale or dispensation of liquor in olub house. But there
' is nothing of this when the liquqr is purohased from ja boot
legger. In this case a man goes out hunting for liquor and
finds it in some drug store, or livery stable, or down on an
island, or some other out-of-the-way place where a man has
set up a temporary joint."
"But to get information from men as to whom sold the
liquor or a description of the place where the bootlegger was
operating is next to impossible."
"It is the most remarkable condition I have ever found in
Kansas and I did not know it was so general until I received
reports from the County Attorneys." i, .
That's what the Governor of Kansas
Says about the Failure of Prohibi
tion to Prohibit.
