Rev. F W Emerson of Topeka stirred Kansas City Sunday with a temperance lecture to the American Young People’s Christian Temperance union. He argued liquor control shapes government and urged petitioning Congress to repeal internal revenue laws to cut liquor influence, claiming federal appointees block enforcement and suggesting prohibition’s expansion as the path to repeal licenses. He noted bars returning to Topeka after a new mayor and police chief, attacked saloon keepers as foreigners, drew a slavery parallel, and asserted no prohibition failure in Kansas. A collection and abstinence pledges followed, with Fannie J Henry presiding.
