Senator Ingalls on Prohibition in Kansas
Kansas has abolished the saloon. The open dram shop traffic ia as extinct as the sale of indulgences. A drunkard is a phenomenon. The barkeeper has joined the troubadour, tbe crusader, and the moundbuilder. The brewer, the distiller, and the bonded warehouse are known only to tbe archaeologist. . . . Prohibition prohibits. The prediction of its opponents has not been verified. Immigration has not beeu repelled, nor has capital been diverted from the State. The period has been one of unexampled growth and development. From comparison of the results in Kansas with thoßb existing elsewhere, the conclusion is irresistibly in favor of Prohibition. It can bo efficiently and successfully enforced. It does not retard the growth nor injure the resources of the people. Its operations practically cease with the closing of the saloonß, leaving personal liberty unimpaired. It exonerates the_ Stato from .complicity and participation in the most formidable agencies of its own destruction.
