| | | \ | | 4 i | | -INTEREST IN THE STATE OF WASHINGTON? WILL THE FLYING SQUADRON EXPLAIN THESE FACTS? 1s it not true that we may expect less crime, less insanity and less pauperism in a rural inlahd state? Is it not true that Kansas is largely rural, cities? Is it not true that you are advocating prohibition as a rem- edy for crime, insanity and pauperism? Is it not true that the prohibitionists started out in this cam- paign by making the broad assertion that Kansas had almost no crime, no insanity and no pauperism? WHY did they do this in view of the following facts taken from the United States census reports for 1910, which you are challenged to dispute or disprove? Why is it that half of the 48 states in the Union have fewer prisoners in the peniten- tiary in proportion to population than Kansas? (Don’t talk about federal prisoners at Leavenworth, they are not included.) Why is it that 26 of the 48 states have fewer juvenile delinguents than Kansas if prohibition protects the boy? Why is it that 15 states have fewer paupers? Why is it that rural Kansas, with no large cities, ranks twenty-fifth in insanity—24 states with a better record? IF prohibition “saves Kansas $29,206,263 per year’ (offi- cial dry argument) and this has been going on for 33 years, How does it happen that Nebraska had $86 more per capita than Kansas June 4, 1913, and that Missouri had $161 more per capita than Kansas? This included all kinds of banks, national, state, private and loan and trusf companies. This question cannot be answered by saying that the money “in Kansas has gone into improvements, because Nebraska has a much greater per capita wealth than Kansas. If “prohibition forces the laboring man to save his money,” WHY IS IT THAT KANSAS RANKS FORTY-THIRD IN SAVINGS BANK DEPOSITS, having ONLY $4.12 PER CAPITA against $27.15 per capita in Nebraska, $23.99 in Missouri AND $37.62 IN WASHING- TON? (All figures taken from U. S. Comptrol- ler reports for 1913.) Why do prohibitionists assert that “when it comes to education Kansas has all the other states backed off the board both ways,” when AS A MATTER OF FACT the Russell Sage Foundation in “A Com- parative Study of Public School Systems in the Forty-Eight States’ RANKS KAN- SAS TWENTY-FOURTH, way below all coast states, as judged by the tests of educational efficiency? If prohibition works in Kansas, why was it that the great amount of drunkenness in Topeka, Kansas, drove Carrie Nation, a Kansas woman, into her hatchet fight »AGAINST SALOONS IN TOPEKA Why is it that U. S. reports show that pro- hibition North Dakota has less per capita in its savings banks than license South Da- kota, and why is it that prohibition Maine has less per capita in savings banks than any of the other New England states? HAS THE “FLYING SQUADRON” ANY PERMANENT Is it composed of Western men and women, and do its members expect to stay here and struggle with the depleted revenues hey are hoping to bring about? Or are they just stopping BECAUSE THEY ARE PAIDTO STOP, just as any group of itinerant performers stops to pick up a few Washington dollars to carry away? ARE YOU WILLING TO ADMIT THAT WASHINGTON IS SO UNREGENERATE that it is necessary for a “flying squadron” to come here from Eastern states to teach us how to govern and conduct ourselves? ISN’T WASHINGTON ABLE TO SOLVE HER OWN PROBLEMS? AREN’T HER PEOPLE ABLE TO GOV. ERN THEMSELVES? WHY ARE PITTSBURG AND BOSTON MILLION- AIRES PUTTING UP $200,000 for a special train to bring this “flying squadron” into Washington to “educate” us, while these same millionaires are doing nothing to make Boston or Pittsburg dry? WHAT DO THOSE MEN WANT HERE IN WASHING- TON, IN THE SHAPE OF OUR NATURAL RESOURCES OR AS A RESULT OF THE OPENING OF TKE PANA- MA CANAL, WHICH THEY HAVEN'T IN THEIR HILLS AND VALLEYS OF PENNSYLVANIA OR MASSA- CHUSETTS?

Such families as the above are in the minority. Most women have time to go vis- iting and to shows during the day, and when husband comes home at night he must help with the work, Many a man has been working ten hours a day ,in the sawmills for years, with no time off except Sundays. If you would stand outside of the milis and watch the men as they come from work, you would see young men who are round-shoul- |dered and as stiff-jointed as an old work-horse.
