Prohibition Helps Kansas

GOVERNOR STUBBS, of Kansas, knows what is for his State’s best interests, and, incidentally, for the best interests of the individuals who compose it. Concerning the prosperous and peaceful conditions obtaining in that State as a result of the operation of the prohibitory law, he says:—
It is a common thing in Kansas, in a majority of the counties, not to have a prisoner in jail, and most of those fellows gathered in jails are there because of intoxicating liquors. There is a close relationship between drunkenness and jails and penitentiaries. It means a great saving to the people of this State and nation in an economic way.
I expect while I am governor of Kansas to stand for the best things in public and private life. We won’t have any drunkards on the State pay-roll while I am governor, and we won’t have any cigarette fiends on our pay-roll, either. I am going to have this State government stand up for everything that is good and noble, and for high ideals, and boost Kansas just as high as we can.
It may be embarrassing to the liquor interests, but it is perfectly proper to ask, Where is there a State under license that can show such a record?
