From the Lawrence Daily World for Feb. 26, 1909: “Two months more and the drug stores of Lawrence must close out their supplies of liquor, unless new state legislation results. Most druggists are pleased by the cutoff due to problems of enforcement but others are not so happy. … The KU funding bill for $1 million for the next two years got through the Kansas Senate today and people on the Hill seem pleased, though they admit the school could use more upkeep money.”
