"Have you noticed the 'Appalling Conditions In Kansas'?" says the To peka Capital "Well, if you haven't, the brewers have. It Is awful. Tbo publicity agent of the olosale Liquor Deal ers' association In 1916, serial No. 12, lays bare all the details. And awful Is no name for It. The state Is a regular shambles, as a result of pro hibition. Infanticide Is a popular sport, fall and summer. No baby's life Is safo In Kansas, the publicity expert has learned. Relatives thirst for the lives of the little ones. Dirt, destitution and disease prevail. Flash ily dressed lassies prowl the streets In droves In search of their prey, and no man Is safo." The Capital goes on to quote some of the scare headlines of tbo Liquor Men's publicity serial and concludes: "Kansas might as well face the proposition squarely. Any attempts at Improvement niado In the state, no matter along what lines, will be seized upon by tho liquor Intercuts to show that the conditions existing In the Btate aro 'appalling, and tho 'appall ing Is duo entirely to prohibition. It Is understood the next serial Issued will explain how It was that the pratrlo fires In western Kansns wer duo to the state prohibitory amend ment. You may not see the connec tion, but the bright young man em ployed as publicity agent for the Na tional Wholesale Liquor Dealers' as sociation won't miss It Not be. He Is going to show up In all Its abysmal horror the awful fate that has over taken Kansas because It tried to shut out that safeguard ot the home and savior ot the nation, intoxicating liquor.' AS GERMAN-AMERICANS SEE IT. "On the train this morning I rode down with a German acquaintance," said a Nebraska man from the South, Tlatte country. "In the course of our talk I nuked him the usual question: 'How about prohibition?' 'It'll go dry by a majority of G.000 to 10,000,' was his 'answer. 'What makes you think so? I asked. 'I'll tell you.' he said. 'I was born In tho old country. Over thero and over here I have always taken a drink whenever I folt like it. I never drank to excess, nnd I never could see any harm In the moderate uso of liquor surh as I and my friends wero occustomcd to. Tut the trouble Is that our sons have go'ten away from the old customs. To speak plain ly, they drink to excess. We Germans despise drunkenness Just as much as you Americans despise It. When we see our sons degrading themselves In this way we decide to call a halt The only way to do this Is to blot out the American snloon. I am going to vote dry next fall, and my neighbors are going to Tote dry with me.' " ON CONFISCATION. One of the arguments against pro hibition Is that It confiscates property. It has been well pointed out that this argument overlooks the fact that pro hibition does not take from the brew ers, dlBtlllers and saloon keepers a foot of ground that they own or a single brick out of any of their build ings. They have their property Just as they had It before, but they cannot uso it for the same purpose. However, thero are other purposes for which It can bo used. When the saloon la driven out tho building can be used for the s.ilo of things that are helpful, nnd the buildings now used for distil leries and breweries can be utilized for other business enterprises, as thoy have been In states that have adopted prohibition, with distinct profit to the property owners. WANTED, CONVICTS1 Warden Talcott of the North Dakota penitentiary was recently summoned r.3 a witness before tho United States senate committee which Is Investigat ing charges of attempts to fix the prices of libers used in the manufac ture of twine. Tho warden told a hard-luck story about tho difficulty of Setting convict labor. Ho testified that the prohibition law ot tho state was so effoctive that they did not have enough convicts to operate the pen, tcutlary twlno plant. BAR IS A NUISANCE. "There Is not a hotel manager In New York," recently said one who manages about the largest hotel this city bas, "but would be glad to abol ish the bar If he could." And he fur ther declarod, "Hotel managers would be glad to see prohibition In force, so far at least as It affects our business, as the bar Is nothing to us but a nui sance and embarrassment and a decid ed liability." FARMERS PREFER DRY TOWN. Three hundred and twenty-tour farm ers who trado in Kewanoe, 111., pre sented a petition to the business men of that town asking thera to keep out the saloons. The Kewanoe Star-Courier published the entire list of 324 names on Its first page. REFUSE LIQUOR ADS. Thoro are 840 dnlly newspapers pub lished In the English langunge within the United States that publicly refuse to accept liquor advertisements, and the list Is lengthening. LIQUOR FOR PIG8. Where do the blind pigs got thol? liquor? Every last one of them gets It from the brewors, the dlstlllors and the wholesalers who not only know that thoy will sell it In violation ol law, but encourage them to do it CONTRAST IN TOWNS. A California contrast: Riverside, population 18,000, dry 20 years, tas rate I3.60; RakorsfielJ, population 18, 000, always wet evory day In the year, tax rate $1.75.
