KANSAS TAKES A LOOK AT HER.
Kansas has had State Prohibition for more than forty years; but it took nearly twenty-five years to make it reasonably effective in the larger cities. During the past ten or fifteen years it has been recognised as the typical prohibition state; and here are the results: - 1. The last Federal census shows that its people are longer lived than those of any other State. 2. The War Department records show that it furnished the best men physically to the selective draft. 3. It has more home owners per capita than any other State. 4. It is one of the five States with the lowest pc rcentage of illiteracy. 5. It ranks among the States which had the low r est percentage of business failures in the hard times of 1921. 6. The census of 1920 showed that thirty-three county jails and thirtyfour city jails did not have a single prisoner in them.—“ The Californian Liberator.”
