Government appointees accused of whisky ties threaten Wichita law
An editorial charges Gov Morrill's Wichita police board appointees are whisky men likely to ignore Prohibition. It claims their plan would permit twenty five city saloons to operate openly and divert revenue to the city treasury, arguing the governor may not grasp the full implications.
Wichita police commissioners praised as businesslike by State Journal
The State Journal cites reliable authority claiming Wichita's new police commissioners are business men who will sustain saloon interests while claiming to run city affairs cleanly. Citizens say the board aims to steer saloon revenue to boodlers, not the city treasury, amid calls for stricter law enforcement.
