ahe people and mode ot warfare and the lay of the land generally in this great prohibition state kansas it occurred to me that maybe you would ive me one side of the to a few remarks about how these grasshopper land sun dried alliance farmers are making things hum down here firstly I 1 want to say eliat the prohibition fake is simply a grand farce I 1 can yu out here in C yde and tet auiler bagent BA gont in halt an hour if I 1 wanted to lut I 1 conr all ull hotels sire loaded if you know which baring to pull men go about tha streets their boot leys full of half pint bottles they cau them jugs in this country and all old timers libie are on to man A stranger comes into town audit lie lias been in the habit of taking a 0 T beffie break fust he will feel as though life ws indeed hard until he is made more fadoil aar with the ways of the people men who know about these things tell me this is the casa and I 1 lave no doubt correct there is just as much whisky drunk in kansas and perhaps more than in utah the money goeb out of the state aust hie same as in the case of farm loan associations between mort sae interest and whisky kansas is pretty ft ell drained of ready money and alie worst is I 1 am not particularly opposed to liquor traffic chero men pay their regular license for handling it but lets have high license and get the benefit of tha of cours eyou know it makes no difference to me any way kansas is nil under appose you knew that long sigo but I 1 just found it out and thought id mention it many of alo banners hairo are looking towards utah aud colorado but butali in particular and there are many men in kansas that wish they and the farmer had started that way long ago I 1 saw two farmers loading their wagons with corn at one of the large cribs at lona island a few days ayo and ached them what they were going to do with it and was told aney were buy ing i it to feed I 1 learned from them thai they were paying 55 cents per for the very feame corn they sold last year for 12 and 13 cents the only dif ference was that they sold lor cash but were bucini on timo so the poor devil of a storekeeper was the looser after all thata alie woy jt is with ua capitalist the farmers have arn all erv hard up on account 0 no crops and plenty ol 01 interest anil many of them hao already pulled up stakes and west it will be of interest to your firmery
