So, now that Governor Hoch is manifesting symptoms of taking a hand in the movement for law enforcement prevalent all over the country, Bailey Waggoner is trotted out and put through the paces as a democrat who can be elected on tn anti-prohibition platform by the aid of the liberal republicans. Well, if the thing is ever tried it will be found that; conditions have changed in Kansas in the past quarter of a century, that there are lots of democrats who will not bow the knee to the Baal of Booze.

The annual consumption of liquors' in prohibition according to American Prohibition Year Book, is less than two gallons per capita, against nineteen gallons in the country as a whole. Forty counties in the State do not have a single pauper.

In thirty-seven Kansas counties the jails are without a single inmate. Prohibition in Kansas prohibits more than 95 per cent. If we had prohibition in New York State what a lot of fellows would be out of a job: sheriffs, constables, policemen, justices, poormasters, alms-house keepers and whiskey sellers.

"The friends of the saloon keepers de nounce their opponents for not treating the saloon business like any other. The best answer to this is that the business the Governor of Missouri has done, issue an order to the Sheriffs that law must be obeyed and assuring them of the help of the state. If it is lawful for the Governor of Missouri to order the the Sheriff to see that the saloons are closed on the Sabbath it is lawful for the Governor of Kansas to order the Sheriffs of each County to see that saloons are closed all the time and offer the power of thestate to assist if Temperance fa gaining ground throughout the world in spite of the fact, that we see men trying to over against him that the liquor is kept for an unlawful purpose according to a decision handed down by the Supreme is not like other business, and that the court.
