From the Lawrence Daily World for Nov. 26, 1907: “Police here are raiding joints regularly and confiscating liquor to the point that many jointists are not able to serve their normal customers. The trend is being praised by many. : A woman in Washington who killed her husband has been branded as ‘crazy’ and it would appear she will be let off on that count. What kind of a trend is this likely to set? : Lawrence had better stop haggling with a proposed street car company and get a water department. The manner in which the water company trifles with the health of the people of Lawrence borders on criminal negligence. Our water supply is far from being as pure as it should and needs to be.”
