Then again in 1858 it was reenacted by a five to one vote. Kansas was the second state to fall into the dry column, the vote being taken in 1881. The law, however, vas laxly enforced until about 15 years ago. This lax enforcement started Carrie Nation, noted prohibition advocate, on her famous saloon smashing career. Armed with an axe, she demolished the fixtures of several Kansas saloons running wide open in violation of the state law.
