Kansas Journalist Calls Prohibition a Farce Explains Jokers in Statistics Sent Out by “Drys 3

(Los Angeles Times)

Prohibition in Kansas is a farce, one that is making the state a laughing stock of the nation, particularly because of the figures and data given out by some of the prohibitionists, according to Jay E. House, for many years past and now a member of the staff of one of the large Kansas daily fiapers espousing the cause of proibition, who with his wife is touring California, and is registered at the Alexandria from Topeka. , ‘An editorial in a local evening paper anent the wonderful progress of Kansas under its thirty-two years of prohibition - government caused House to grow rather heated under the collar because of the erroneous statements it contained.

“In eighty-seven of the 105 counties of Kansas there are no insane,” says the editorial. ;

“As rapidly as men and women lose their minds, they are removed from their homes and placed in the state hospitals, of which we have three at the present time,” states House. “In order t. accommodate the rapidly-increasing insane population the largest asylum in Kansas is being erected at Larned, and with its completion the state will be able to take care of more than 5,000 patients.” This much for that assertion. -

“Thirty county poorhouses . are without a single tenant,” continues the editorial.

“W‘hg?” questions House. He answers his question by stating that in Kansas the population is very thinly spread through many of the counties, particularly tiose in the western part, and it is seldom that any but hardy persons go there to dwell, and those who are inefficient cannot remain. In addition to that the state has a sort of a pension for its poor. Instead of sending them to county poor farms, they receive sums running fiom $l2 to $25 a month for their sustenance. “Last winter Topeka alone cared for 70@ paupers,”. said House. “But only about ten per cent. of them were in the poorhouse. The remainder were taken care of by families who received the money for board.” ; “The calling of a grand jury with relation to criminal cases is extremely rare,” asserts the editorial.:

“I don’t believe the grand jury has been in session once in the twelve {lears I have lived in Topeka,” replies ouse, “and here again you have a subversion of facts. Instead of filing & char%e after grand jury investigation, the county attorney has full authority to file all charges. Calling the grand jury is entirely optional with the district judge and it is a state policy to do away with the exgense attached to the machinery necssary for a grand jury investigation. There are counties where such a jury has not been impanelled in forty years, but not because there have been no crimes committed, by any means.

“There is as much, if mot more, drinking in Kansas today than ever before. The prohibition law makes it necessary to register all shipments of liquor into the state by common carrier. In June of this year, 90,000 quarts of liquors were registered as imported into Topeka, or two quarts for every man and child in the place. This does not include the liquor that is brought in by automobile, in suitcases and by hundreds of bootleggers. “Under practically four-fifths of the automobile seats in Kansas you can find booze. It is the basis for sociability. You are not invited to the home of a friend for a dinner, but rather to enjoy a drink. “I have seen great beer busts ‘at which senators, congressmen, bankers and the leaders in business and professions have been the leaders in the drinking. “And all of this despite the stringent prohibition law, passed thirtytwo years ago, which has been bolstered and buttressed with amendments and supports every year since, until prohibition has become a fetish, a sort of blind worship. Whenever a man dares openly to speak against it, he is branded as a collusionist with the distillers and brewers. The statements I have made are a genuine and unbiased view of affairs as they exist and will reap me nothing but censure at home. It is actually baleful to the interests of the state to have such silly, nonsensical reports circulated as that”which appeared here several days ago. ¢

Preducing Colored Silks.

It has been found that by feeding silkworms partly on mulberry leaves and partly on osage leaves, being ex+tremely careful with the allowances of the two foods, they can be made to preduce red and blue silk. Colored thread has been obtained by feeding the worms on dyed leaves, but this method is not practicdl on a commercial scale. The natural color of raw silk is yellow or white.

TROOPS MAY REMAIN

U. S. DELEGATES INSIST ON " ARMY STAYING IN MEXICO.

Rebels Attacked Four Towns Simul. taneously With Villa's Assault on Chihuahua City.

New London, Conn., Sept. 21.—The American troops will stay in Mexico. This decision has been reached by the American delegates because of Villa’s latest depredations in Chihuahua. Unless General Carranza ceaSes to insist that the border question be settled immediately, it was predicted here that the conference was doomed to failure. The Mexican delegates are expecting instructions from Carranza which may prove an ultimatum. - Chihuahua City, Mex., Sept. 21.— Revolutionary attacks were made upon Guadalajara, Tampico and Vera Cruz on September 16, simultaneously with Villa’s Hidalgo ‘day attack upon this city, according to reports received here by Gen. Jacinto B. Trevino.

Other than to say that, although well timed, .the attacks in all three cities were promptly suppressed, no details were received. : General Trevino announced a revised list of the casualties in Saturday’s engagement here. The government losses in killed and wounded he placed at 53, while the Villa casualties he estimated at between 200 and 250, including 94 prisoners taken and executed. ;

- While it is not generally believed that Villa will soon make another attack upon the city, orders have been issued to take every precaution, artillery having been mounted on the hills and heavy outposts being maintain®d. Statements were issued at the commandancia, denying border reports that Villa had made a second attack upon the town and that there had been defections in the garrison. ; :
