ADDRESS ON PROHIBITION The following address was deliv ered by Governor Btabbe at the To peka cos volition In Itanaas on the subject of prohibition. I want to thank you for the peo ple ot Ksnsss for ohoosinf this place for your convention. I feel that it has been s crest Inspiration to the people of Kansas, and X hope It has been plesssnt for you. I shall take great pleasure in tell ing you of some ot the teats ot good citizenship that hare been accoip p lis bed In Ksnsss during the lsst fonr or live years. We have In Kansas materlsi pros perity, but we hare something much more precious than that- We hare men and women of high ldeala and the courage of their convictions. Wo are all sovereign citizens ot the greatest nation*In the world. It has cost millions of treasure; It hss cost oceans of mothers' tears; It hss cost rivers ot the best blood that ever towed through human veins to buy your right to be sover eign citisens. N There are battles to be foughtr? battles to be won. There are prob . fejna before the Averfeaaa of today thut must be solved, sven if it takes ' uscrfftce. But nnless you think'pore of yonr country thsn you do of your* selves, you are not patriots. Now. I don't want to hurt aay body's feelings, but I would rathe* hurt their feelings than not to say ibis: At your door, at the door of the church, ties the blame for many of the things that are wrong In this country . Theije is wor% to do la ww a*i?? wkiti t]|? are few, and you know that faith without ttrki la ta4. I would Uke to M the Christian people of this nstlon to be as *(???? ?Ire. and u determined. as the men they ?? tt*ktlni i wu i>M lax ?print to go to Chicago an J tw in that sUta the prohibition lawa !r Kaaaaa.

They wen *r>tlnx. desperately-aghttng. wit) desperate methoda; they ware un. scrapuloas, rlelooa. untruthful. I aay to you, that the Chrtstlnn people wf thla country, do aot aeed to tell Ilea?the trnth la good enough II you will tail It, hat too many of yon hare not the eonraaa. eren to teli the truth about thla matter: You ?tend Idly and sdOour boys and girls abaolutely deatroyed, and It li a shame upon the Christian peopli of America. It la no use to beat tht dorll about the bush; you had Jus1 aa well look thla thins squarely In the face; and yat you aund by and see thousands of boys and girls re to shame and rula'^aar by year. CLEANING UP KANSAS When ve commenced to clean'6dl the vhlafctt hotea la Kansas we did who otsSStS'saloons' lu^lhe'c^! story ran a gambling den on the second floor and a bawdy how on the third floor. Do you knov that gambling houaee, bawdy houses and thiarss and saloons go aU together! You drlre out the aaloon and" you drive oat the worst element of this country and the trap* that are eet to ensnare the feet and destroy the womanhood of your girls aad bum up nnd drive aad aend to hell and the drunkard's grave, the boys. I do aot Intend to discuss this from a sentimental point of riew. 1 be lieve every man even the brewers ad mlt that this la an awful curaa, but they aay you caa't stop It. I believe that Kansas la tho.only state in the world that haa abeolnta prohibition, aad uatll May, 1?09, wo had drug stores thst sold beer and whisky for medicinal purposea all over Kan saa. and It waa remarkable how many people needed whiskey for the colic or a disturbance of the lnteetlnee that they had to have liquor for? sometimes It took ten or twelve "doaee" a day to caWthem. but the legialnture, abaolutely prohibited the aal? of liquor for any purpoee what ever In Kaaaaa. And I say to you today, that during the last two yea* ? we have made a detrmtned effort to stamp It oat entirely. WHEN JOINTS WERE OPEN When I became governor of this state 1 was told by.the residents o< some of pur largest counties thai they had u high aa 150 open saloons and Joints la thoae counties: there were only four or fire couatl** in the cta^e la bad condition?in the mining'communltiea .where the la* had nerer been enforced, bit 1 saj to you tbday, I don't know of a ?ln gle open saloon or jfelht !n Kansai and ft thsre la any man In Kansai who will show ma an open saloon oi Joint running In thle sute, and I don't close It up. and close II at quick. I will reelgh my Job as gor eronor. 1 made that aa a etandinj proposition?of that kind*-? for mort than1 a year and harea't been showt Special Sale of Imported v Hand Painted 299 Designs to select from, Worth up to $2.25 each. We will close the line at 89c. each. Beginning Saturday at 9 A. M. f *' ? Not before. ? ' J a Joist that couldn't be closed. Now that does not mean tbat there 1? no whiskey sold bore, for we beta a few bootlegger* and peo ple who peddle whiskey la satchels And men who drive across from Mis souri under tbs protection of tbs In terstate commerce law. r ata going over to St. Louis tonight and toll tbem something of what baa hap pened in Kansas, and I aaj to you, t i have statements from nearly! every district Judge In Kansas, that ware written last March. In which they say tbat the prohibitory law is sasy to enforce, and In many eeses iter to enforce, then other crim inal statctee. I bare statements from mayors of IB cities where the la we hare been enforced rigidly and they practlcelly unanimously agree tbat It has helped the bnalneas of tbat town to force the' pro hi bi tors law. I The universal theory la tbat when a Man?e laboring man. or a busi ness man?does not spend bis money for besr and- whiskey. be bss more money to buy shoes, and clothes, and feed, and tbat K helpe the local merchants; tbat la invariably tbs ssse. end It is only common sense. We do aot need aay argument to tt? r- ? 1 | SITUATION IN KANSAS OITY. KAN We nave one city here In Kansas where there are thousand* and thousands of laboring men. where It Is estimated that they spent in that city three or four millions a year for booee. and when that condition prevailed?In Kansas City, Kau%**-~ the home that was given "by Crfrrle Nation for drunkards, was filkid to overflowing; they had a court there, tn Kansas City, Kansas, to enjoin the (men's wages every week, to garni shee the men's wages every wefck. That court was closed up aa soon as they got rid of saloons, and the Car rie Nation home for drunkards wives M???ed into a school for ?irls. 'The merchants of that town, nntver tsally almost agree that their business h*?Omproved. There was more mon oy to buy real estate nod hom?s and ^ to buy food and clothes for the chJI , dren, and mono children went to school, in Wichita, where they thought that grins would grow in the streets?that was a Common aay ing?they closed them up two or three years ago, and I want to tell j you that that town has almost dou , bled In population and more than doubled In oank clearing* In the last three years. I think the bank clear ings have more than doubled In a | year, and the population has increas jed enormously. (J don't know what ,Ume that was) in the few years (that prohibition has been enforced, j there has been a great Improvement, j I did not come here to make a j prohibition speech, but that is one jOf the greatest curses of this coun try and It lies at the door of the Christian people to flght that battle and It takes sacrifice to do these things. It takes your money and your time, and It takes every energy, and yoa will be likely to be misrep resented and boycotted and every thing elae?may be stoned, but I . want to tell you that If your religion J is worth a five cent piece you ought [to get into this flght. and it ought j to be a united flght ot every Christ ian church In America. This war j ought to be one of extermination and not one of compromise, and if the people of this country will do their duty you can have national prohlbtion of the manufacture and ; ,m'e of liquor in less than ten years, j I say to you it la a great privilege ? to be an Aopricsn citizen and to help do the things that are being | done in this country, but I was 45 j years old before 1 found It out. I j didn't pretend to do my duty as n (citizen. I thought the government was located at Washington and To peka aad had never bean around th?? state house. I had never been In a county convention when I was elect ed to a legislative office m l?03, bat while I got rid of a fine business tlut I had been twenty yeufs in building up. i wish to say I would rathe^ | have helped to do the things that have been done In Kansas in,the last Ave years thsn to make a fortune eTery year.
