She will be accompanied to her home in Florida by her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Cowles of Ridgefield, who expect to reside In the sooth. natural scenery. Avis Carlson says sas and always will be. And all the scofflaw's "truth" about Kansas Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Rasmussen amounts to is that there are people and daughter, Jean, of Chicago spent there who drink, himself among them. " -j real qUestion as to their comparative numbers he has no evidence As he associates with that class he naturally sees more of them than a non-drinker would. Carlson says that Senator Capper owns newspapers and weeklies that go into three-fifths of the homes in the state and that he knows, better than any other politician ^'how to keep his ear to the grass roots." And a letter from Senator Capper, published on the last page of the same number (May) says the Scoff law article is "a tissue of lie3," that "nine-tenths of the people of Kansas believe in pro hibition." This is corroborated by Carlson who says that although every village and country-side have their sots, every town its bootlegger, and most individuals a few youthful sprees, his generation "makes prohibition one of its primary faiths." Only degener ates would want a law that really pro moted drinking. There are other things to judge prohibition by than the places where knowing ones can find drinks. One traveller who investigated Kansas when it had state prohibition took into account the number of dolls he saw in the stores. How dared the proprietors lay in such stocks? Because they sold. Kansas, that investigator found was a land of happy children. Would it have been, and would the voting strength of the state make no question of maintaining prohibition if under it the doll exhibit were chiefly in the pawn shops, where the' fathers left them to get money for drinks? According to Carlson, the automobile, the radio, the phonograph, the movies and cheap reading matter are leveling down boundary lines. Kansas is becoming cosmopolitan, like the rest of us. And they have had prohibition there so long that soon there will be no one who remembers anti-prohibition conditions. Let some old Kansan talk.--Contributed.
