1 FACTS ABOUT
! KANSAS‘ON TEL
! WATER WAGON
r
BY HON. ROYAL E. CABELL,
j FORMER U. S. COMMISSIONER
OF INTERNAL REVENUE.
j _
NVJhile in Kansas, in which the
sale of liquor is prohibited for all
purposes excepting sacramental,
there were registered for the fiscal
year ending June 30, __ 191.3, 733
“ persons as qualified under the Fed
' eral laws to retail liquors; in the
license State of Alabama, only 1,
185 persons qualified under the Fed
eral laws; in the license State of
Arkansas, only 875 qualified under
the Federal law-s, and in the li
cense State of Florida only 957
qualified under Federal aws- Ir
| respective, however, of the various
estimates, both as to amount and
price paid for liquor in Kansas, a
i consideration of the various facts
I disclosed by United States Govern
ment statistics would seem neces
sarily to lead the unprejudiced
, mind to ask the following ques
: tions:
If prohibition is the cause of a
wonderful low death rate, and pro
hibition does prohibit in Kansas,
why has Topeka, the capital of
' Kansas, a death rate higher than
j that of seventeen capital cities in
States in which liquor is lawfully
sold, and its death rate is exceed
ed by the rate in only seven capi
tal cities in registration area, four
of which eleven are in prohibition
States ?
If prohibition prevents death by
violence, whether by accident or
design, and prohibition does pro
i hibit in Kansas, why do the regls
| tration cities in the State of Kan- j
j sas show a death rate from this
cause higher than the deat h rate
from the same cause in the regis
tration cities of twenty-eight States
in which liquor is lawfully sold?
If prohibition prevents homicide, j
■ and prohibition does prohibit in i
Kansas, why is the homicide rate
in Kansas higher than the homl-!
cide rate in fourteen out of the
twenty-three registration States, at- j
’ mention being called to the fact
■ that of these fourteen States hav
ing a rate of homicide lower than
Kansas, in twelve of them liquor is
i lawfully sold?
If prohibition prevents suicide, j
and prohibition does prohibit in!
Kansas why is the suicide rate in;
Kansas higher than in twenty-one
States in which liquor is lawfully
| sold?
If prohibition makes homes hap
py, and prohibition does prohibit
in Kansas, why is the annual av
i erage divorce rate in Kansas high
; er than the divorce rate in twenty
nine States in which liquor is law
' fully sold, and why the higher rate
of divorce to wives on account of I
drunkenness and cruelty, and why!
the rapid rate of increase in the
number of divorces?
If prohibition is a benefit to the j
, church, and prohibition does pro- i
i hibit in Kansas, why is the per- j
j centage of church membership in J
1 Kansas lower than the percentage j
i in thirty-seven States in which liq-!
; uor is lawfully sold?
If prohibition saves the boy and
girl, and prohibition does pro
: hibit in Kansas, why is the rate of
i juvenile delinquency higher in the
; States of Kansas than in sixteen
I States in which liquor is lawfully
\ sold ?
If prohibition improves the men
ta status of the community and
prevents insanity, and prohibition
| does prohibit in Kansas, why is the
; rate of insanity in Kansas higher
than the rate of insanity in six
teen States in which liquor is law
fully sold, and why the tremendous
increase in the rate of insanity in
Kansas in recent years, although
so many counties report no in
sane, and why should it cost Kan
sas nearly one million dollars an
nually' to care for her insane, ju
venile delinquents, imbeciles and
epileptics ?
If prohibition eliminates crime,
and prohibition does prohibit in
Kansas, why is the rate of prison
ers. confined for grave and lesser
homicide higher in Kansas than in
twenty-four States in which liquor
is lawfully sold, and for general
offenses higher in Kansas than in
nine States in which liquor is law
fully sold?
If prohibition prevents pauperism
and produces prosperity, and is the
cause of thrift, and prohibition
does prohibit in Kansas, why Is
the pauper rate in Kansas higher
than the pauper rate in ten States
in which liquor is lawfully sold,
and why is it that Kansas has a
smaller proportion of its citizens
with savings accounts than in
thirty-seven States in which liquor
is lawfully sold, and why is it that
the savings accounts of the re
latively few Kansans who have
tharn average only about one-half
the average savings accounts of the
Test of the country?
And, finally, even in the matter
of education, in which Kansas makes
| a splendid record with respect to
literacy, why is it that she is
equaled by one State and surpassed
by four others, in each of which
liquor is lawfully sold?

TWENTY SCOTCH

r
SKILLED WORKERS WILL COME
ON DESPATCH FOR NEW
SARDINE PLANT.
Twenty fair Scotch lassies, rang
ing in age from 18 to SO years and
every one of them an expert fish
splitter, says the Seattle Times,
will leave for southeastern Alaska
May 24 on the Border Line Trans
portation Company's steamship De
spatch to join the forces of the
Alaska Herring and Sardine Com
pany’s plant at Port Walter. The
young women will be employed in
the sardine department of the
plant
AH the lassies com^ from fam
! ilies that have been expert fish
splitters for generations- They are
! among the most highly skilled
| workers in the world. Each of the
j twenty is single, but if the ex
! perience of other maidens who
have gone north is repeated in
1 their case the company may have
to keep sending for reinforcements.
They form the first company of
young women to be sent north to
work in a cannery. The New Eng
land Fish Company employes 18
Scotch girls in its Vancouver plant
as herring splitters, all being either
sisters or cousins to one another
Most of the twenty who will leave
Seattle are also related to each
other
