L SOLD BY THE BOOTLEGGERS. How the Prohibitory Amendment Don’t Prohibit in Kansae. PLAIN TALK BRY AN ABLE MAN, A United States District Judgn States His Views at Length in Response t a better From Fel- low Itepublicans. A Federal Judge Judge C. G. Foster, Btates district court, ed stand on the resubm saysn Topeka special to the Kansas City Journal, Tn reply to a letter from rosubmission republicuns in Kansas, he stated his position at length. Following is the correspondence: TorrkA, Kas., Nov, 15, 1880.—To Hon. C. G. Foster, Topeka, Ka We, thoe undersigned republicans, and citizens of ka, fully believing that prohibition has boen detrimental to the hest interest of our state and eity, and that tho time has avrived for the peo- plo of Kansas to seriously consider the advisability of o chungo of policy, in- tend organizing a vesubmission repub- lican club in this Reposing great confidence in your ability and integ- rity, na also in your known loyalty to the best interests of the republican party, we would be glad to be favored with your views touching prohibition, and the steu we now propose. Yours respectfully, A. L. ALLEN, FRANK HERALD, H. C. LINDSEY, J. A, MCCALL, J. W. KASKEL, R. M. CuRTIs, B. WiLLiAys, Opinton. of the Umted taken a decid- sion question, AND OTHERS. To A, L. Allen, H. C. Lindsey, Frank Herald and Others. Gentlemen: Your complimentary ad- dress, accompanied with a request for my views on_the prescnt status of pro- hibition and resubmission, came to hand. I have hesitated to comply or decline. There is a spirit of intoler- ance abroad toward all sentiment averse to prohibition, and no one likes to draw on himself personal abuse or esentation. If the fact would epted that ninety-nine men out of every 100 are sincerely in favor of temperence sobriety, und rood govern- ment, but honestly differ as to the menns best adapted to that end, this subject, like other questions of publie policy, might be discussed without bit- terncss or personality. When we con- sider the tidal wave of literature—ju- dicial, ecclesiastical and political—cast upon the country for many years past, singing peans of praise to the glory of prohibition it would seem to be no trea- son toinvestigate the reul facts and see how much of truth and how much of fic- tion there is in it. Noone can sincerely deny the evil of in- temperence, nor can there be much said for the saloon, except that its recogni- tion with proper restraining legisla- tion may be less harmful to the habits and morals of the people than a system that ignores it altogether. After eight years of constant en- deavor,aided*by the most extraordinary legislation, 1t must be admitted that constitutional prohibition in Kansas hag failed to accomplish what its frienas promised and_expected. The criminal courts and jails are still open aund full of business and theve is no decrease in the demand for police service, nor has the system established itself in the con- fidence of the people. We may admit that it has reduced to a greater or less extent the quantity of liquors corsnmed in the state. We must furtier admit in some localities the saloon has been driven out of existence, ‘When this has heen said substantially all has been said for prohibition 1n Kan- sas, The habit and appetite for intoxi- cating liquors ave as great as ever they were. It has become forbidden fruit, and thus stimulates the perversity of human unature to taste it. In the hotels, on the railway cars, in business piaces, the inevitable table bottle is brought forth with some light Jmn.ing remark about prohibition, There is an air of i nsincerity and hy- pocrisy about the whole business that must disgust those who support it from a deop conviction of duty. For a while the saloons all over the state (Hsnn‘:um'm.l as an ostensible busi- ness, and the traflic found its way into coilars and back rooms, he suloon propergave way to the ‘joint” and the ‘“‘restaurant.” The bartender was jostled off the stage by the ‘“‘bootlegger.” Of late, the law falling into disrepute, the disguise has grown thinner and thinner. In many places the saloons are permitted to run, on payment of a monthly stipend gde- nominated fines, or forféitures. The last election demonstrated the fact that the law has loss support in the country than in the towns. It has been iterated and reiterated that crime has been diminished. Let us examine this question and wake com- parison betweon Nebraska, a suloon state, and Kansas for five years past, . In 1885 Kausas had o population of 1,268,562, with a prison population of 072, being one to every 1,885, 1 1885 Nebraska had a population of 740,045, with a prison population of 215, being one to every 2,500, In 1888 Kausas had a prison popula~ tion of 898, increase 1n three years 215, In the same year Nebraska had a prison population of 845, increase, 86, n 18589, Kansas hus an estimated pop- ulation of 1,700,000, with a prison popu- lation of 861, being one to every 1,900, In Nebraska, the estimated population for 1880 is 1,200,000, with a prison popu- lation of 882, being one to every 8,100, oHow has prohibition affected the vari- ous industries and municipalities of the state? All control of the traffic in liquors, and all revenue from that source, as also all control of its police force, have been taken away from the large cities, and taxation has largely increased, How has it affected the farmer? -Where doos his profit come in? It has closed ot least one market for his corn and hogs. It has closed another for his barloy and his hops if he bas any. It has despoiled his vineyard snd his orchard, for the juice of the apple con- taiua the poison of alcohol and comes under the hav of the law. Apple sauce, however, is still on the free list! How hus it effected the state at large¥ It hos turned nside a cinss of hardy and industrious ople, with brawn and musele, who till the soil and develop the weulth of the state, and given instead an army of sofi-handed nou-producers who live by looking after the morals and habits of their neigh- bors. It has brought forth a brood of spocial elass legislation, bristling with paius and penalties, fines und iwprison- ment; and above all 1t aims a blow at the natural liberty of the civizen and deoases his manhood. No good citizen of any spirit can pass the ordeal of pro- curing & pint of liquor at a drug store, for medicinal purposes, without feeling humiliated and degraded. Fie on a law that treats the citizen factor and naworthy of trust and confi- dence. The true theory of our govern- ment i8 to accord to every person the greatest measure of | v holding him accountable for the abus of that liberty. 1t muy well be questioned if itis the true theory of any government to restrain, humi o and hedge in with penultics ninety-nine good citizens in order to remove templation from one anched member. The good phy: v applies his remodies to the sore and not the weil flesh. What reason have we to hope the resulv of lemsla- tive prohibition in Kansas will be other than the same failure it has proven wherever tried in this country for the past filty years. Morality by an act of tho legislature, »d up by n Draconian code,will not a free peopla ns the sin- cere pure article. But someons asks: Are youin favor of restoring the saloon ? Other things being equal, [ would say uo. Butif every other consideration is to bo sacriticed [ say, with proper legis- Jation, ye 1t is not worth while here to discuss the question whether there is a middle ground between prohibition on the one hand and the saloon on the other. and yot it may be worthy of consideration. Is there of necessity a bond of union between the manufacture and sale of ci liquors for general purposes and a plice where it shall be sold by the dram as a heverage? Our prohibition friends must not assume that thev have a monopoly of all the intelli ce and morality in the land, **Dost thou think because thou art virtuous, there shall be no more cakes and ale? At least thirtv-six states recognize the saloon s a legitimate business, and it would be presumptioti to assume that the people of all these states would suffer in morals in comparison with our prohibition advocates. The localities where prohibition suf- fered mostin the late eiection in the New England states, was at the scats of learning and gr educational institu- tions, and as to materinl prosperity, we need not go far over the eastern or west- ern border of our state to find the cities that have far outstrippdda us in wealth, commercial importance and municipal greatness. In my opinion, & very proner course for republicans who favor resubmission isto work for it through their own party. To do this it is right to organize within the party such members as hold similar views on the subject to work for its suc- cess. It matters but little whether it comes through a constitutional conven- tion or by a cirect vote on this question alone. Whether you should go as far as your opponents have frequently done and threaten to do. i e., vote for no man who holds views contrary to their own, is a matter for you to decide, consider- ing the importance of the matter in- volved. It must be keptin mind that prohibition is no more a tenct of ropublican faith than is your religious belief, or the rlnco of your birth, or the color of your hair. It has been repeatedly rejecte by the national republican party. The people of the state must be permitted to deeide their own roli ¢ in this, and all other matters, and any party that seeks to stifle the voice of the people will be specdily consigned to oblivion. Unless I very much mis-road thosigns of the times, it is vapidly becoming a case of the politicans against the peo- ple, and in tfiuc contest the politicians will receive a repetition of the lessons of 1882, You place the most unbounded faith on the ultimate verdict of the people, and I predict thut verdict when ren- dered will consign that curious and dis- roputable brood of class legislation RliBathA Mirray Rl nwAtha m6tFonols tan polico law, the graud jury law. and the jury cominission law, et id genus omne, to the junk room of the historical society.

R. el VAGARIES OF WESTERN JUSTICE, Rough-and-1teady Merhods Giving Way to Eastern Formalitp, Several lawyers wero chatting over a good bottle of wine in an uptown res- taurant the other night, and as one of them was from Montana and another of them had spent some years of his younger days in Nevada, the conversa- tion naturally drifted into a reminiscent channel, says the New York Tribune, I suppose your judges out west are a different class of men from what they used to be years ago, when the country was more uncivilized,” said one. I remembor once we had great difficulty iu securing & jury in a newly laid out town in Novada, " Nobody seemed will- ing to serve that counsel on one side or other had not serious objections to. Finally a desirable looking stranger was called, “*Your honor, smd he, ‘I am not qualified to serve; I am not a free- holder.’ ** Where do you live?’ said the ?udge. **MIn my tent out on Washington levard,’ was the reply. *Married?’ +No,? * *Living all ulone?’ ‘Yes.’ ** ‘For how long?’ * *Six weeks.’ *You’ll do,’ said the judge decls~ ively, ‘I neverknew a tenderfoot yet to keep bachelor's hull in a teut for six weeks but he had accumulated enough dirt to be a freeholder.’ So the man served.” “That's & prewty fair sample,” said the westerner, “*of the rough-and-ready style of the old-time justice, and it hus vot all died out yet by acy means.

Cer ainly some remarkable feats wore proved to have been performed by the old miner in the Inst few weeks of his life, and the widow was puton the stand “W were your hushand's ” gaid her counsel *d rather not tell,’ said she blush- ing prettily and hesitating. " *Why not?’ srid her counsel. must tell. The judge will think are afraid it will damage your case.’ “'Still blushing the pretty widow de- clined to tell. Finally the judge him- self argued with her and told her that if she ted in refusing it would go far toward confirming his suspicions that the man was insane. **'Well,’ said the widow reluctantly, ‘he said, ‘‘Kiss me Puss and open an- other bottle of champagne.’” ** Sensible to the last, rted out the judge. And so he decided, and would hear no more evidence.” *The most severe rebuke I ever got from the bench,” said the first speul *was from one of those typical we judges who had determined that it was time to introduce a little more of the formality of the eastin his court than he had formerly insisted on. Tt wns my first case in eour! I haa gone out there about as zreen a8 they make them and had purchased a half in t in the practice of a shavp lawyer. who immediately retired from practice in that town and made me a present of the remuinder of his business, when hoe felt my money safe in his pocket. So I was thrown on my own resources and was soon floundering so deep in legal quags mives that the judge felt eatlled on to in- torpose. A few monthsbefore he would probably have voured out some choice abuss on my head and would have offer- ed to fight me if I did not like it. But now he was stanaing on formality. ““‘Young man,” he said impressively, ‘the best thing you can do for yourself and I(»eruul ient would be to hire a lawyer.” T 80,7 hat reminds me,” smid the other, “of a rebulce administered by one of our old justices to a fly young lawyer who came out there from the east with a de- termination to show eve how things should be done. well connected and well introduced, but, s00n got into debt, and was an inveter- ate borrower from his riends and even from chance acquaintances One day three justices were sitting on the bench together, and had also united in sitting on our young friend, who forthwith tried to get off the old gag about con- tempt of court. ***I wish your honors to fine me 85 for contempt of court,’ said he. ***Why so, Mr. Smith?’ said one of the justices, who did not at once tumble to point; ‘you have not displayed any contempt.’ ‘*‘But I cherish a decided contempt for this court and am wiiling to pay for it,’ taid Smith with a vhetorical flourish, ***Your contempt for this court 1s not to be mentioned in the same breath with the court’s contempt for you,’said the second justice. “And’ we won't fine you, Mr. Smith,’ said the third with a triumph in his eye, ‘because we can’t tell which one of us you would borrow the money from to pay it with,’ “While the ushers were trying to re- store quiet in the court out of the tumult of laughter ]thnk followed this neat iIH‘ll cutting repl Ir.
