guarding the right of the majority to
rule, has been twice before the legis-
lature of Illinois and has been defeated
at the dictation of the Illinois Liquor
Dealers Protective Association.
Temperance people need no better en-
dorsement of the measure, than that
liquor sellers, brewers, distillers, in
tfSAr organized capacity, oppose it.
They even fear the right of the peo-
pie to vote upon it. They have taken
away, and are asking that the people
be not given the opportunity to express
their suffrage as to whether they want
saloons or not.
The election of legislature which
will not bow the knee to this dictation
of the liquor power is the immediate
duty of the united church in the state.
In the Forty-first senatorial district
nothing less than one senator and three
representatives is the demand of the
hour.
We hereby ask the Illinois congress
tative from the Eleventh Congressional
district, to favor the observance of the
treaty rights with the Indians in Indian
Territory, and to vote for the admission
of Oklahoma and Indian Territory only
upon the condition precedent that alb
solute prohibition for at least Fl years,
of the liquor traffic be placed in the con-
stitution of the incoming state, as the
treaty rights of the Indians and the
honor of the nation demands.
And, further, that we ask our rep
resentatives in congress from Illinois
to favor the passage of the Dolliver-
Hepburn bill, the object of which is to
enable the territory under prohibition
to protect itself against interstate COM
merce in intoxicating liquors in "orig

sible, since the federal constitution, as
interpreted by our supreme court, gives
outside wholesalers the right to ship the
stuff into locality or state where it's
sale and use are illegal. The people
are helpless and their prohibitory laws
are by the we'll known lawlessness of
the liquor business broken down.
For this and other reasons the
Eleventh congressional district is in
volved, and it becomes the bounden
duty of the Christian citizenship of this
district to see that this and various
other phases of the liquor question now

not one cent of expenses for criminal
prosecution for the year ending October
1, 1904. The criminal expenses of the
no-license counties average 70 mills for
each inhabitant, the one-town license
counties average SO mills, and the
license counties average 267 mills.
Fayette and Mcdowell are each a
paradise for the saloon; that is, each
has saloons everywhere anyone thinks
he can make the business pay, and the
saloons are run without reference to
the law The first (Fayette) has one
person in the penitentiary for every
202 of the population, and Mcdowell
has one for every 100. The criminal
expenses in Fayette are 491 mills for
each inhabitant, and in Mcdowell, 919
mills for each inhabitant."
Is it any wonder that in the face of
these figures, Governor J. Frank Hanly
of the state of Indiana said in his ad-
dress of welcome at the great national
convention of the Anti-Saloon league
in Indianapolis, a few days ago, that
because they have never filled an aims
house, penitentiary or ward in an
insane asylum; they have never broken
a woman's heart or caused child to
cry with hunger. They have never
created a liability against the state,
these reasons, I bring you a Hoosier
welcome, to me the sweetest welcome
in this wide, wide world"
If it be fact that each one
of the saloons of Du Quoin sell
$40 worth per day, then we pay
into the saloons each day $500,
and if they do business 365 days in
each year, then we pay into these sa-
looms $4,000 every year. If this
money that goes into the Golfers of the
saloons of this town was put into
homes, we would have, at the end of
twenty years, $2,62O,OOO in homes.
So, to say nothing of the increased
value of all property in the town be-
cause of added improvements, we would
have $2,62O,000 in taxable property
that we cannot have as long as this
money is spent for drink. If this
property should be assessed at it's cash
value, or what it cost, and as the laws
of this state require taxes to be col
lected on one-ifth of the value thereof,
then we would collect on one-fifth, or
on $524,000. This, at the same rate
of city taxes levied for the past few
wars in In OuOin 80 on tho hundred
would amount to $10,4SO. The eigh-
teen saloons of Du Quoin yield in rev.
enues $4,000 to the city, making a net
loss to the city of $1,4S0. Can anyone,
in the face of these figures, ever reiter-
ate the old whisky lie that it is best to

Violate Antj-Compact Law.

Information charging violations OF
the Iowa anticompact law and con-
spiracy were filed in the court Of JUS
tice Zell G. Roe against w. V. Will
cox, Bert hopkins, AL Howell and VIII
liam Skinner.
The informations were fled by b.
F. Loose, a former fire insurance man,
who is now engaged in the real estate
business. Mr.. Loose, something over
a year ago, filed an information
against the same men on a similar,
charge. They appealed to the district
court and before Judge A. II. McVey
urged that the law was unconstiru-
tional. The court held the law was
unconstitutional and discharged the
men. Since that time test Of the
law has been carried to the supreme
court, where 1t has been held the law
is constitutional. Mr.. Loose In again
filing his charges, stated that he pro-
poses to introduce the same evidence
which would have been introduced
had they been brought to trial on the
former information.
When the matter came before the
grand jury George c. Newman, secre.
tary of the Des Moines Underwriters
association, which it was alleged was
the combine fixing rates, was subpoe-
naed before the grand jury. But he did
not bring his books. The court was
appealed to and these were finally
brought before the investigating body.
The men were indicted. They demur-
red to the indictments and 1t was this
demurrer that was sustained. Since
that time the association, which was
alleged to have existed for the pur-
pose of fixing rates, has become ex-
tinct. Since that time Mr.. Wilcox
has gone out of the insurance bust
ness and has been appointed pension
agent here, succeeding the late II. ~

CUBAN READY To
SETTLE AMICABLY

Havana, Oct. 1.-The work OF dis
posing peacefully Of the revolut Ionary
forces in arms against the Cuban
government is already practically UNI!
dey way. Brig. Gen. Frederick FEns-
ton, chairman Of the disarmament
commission, had two ahicab,e confer.
ences yesterday with Generals Pine
Guerra and Del Castillo, and arranged
programme perfectly satisfactory to
all concerned. In fact, General Funs.
ton said last evening that the windup
will be so smooth and rapid that II
will take much less time than had
been anticipated.
The first landing Of any considerable
number of Americans took place last
night, when $50 marines came ashore
from the squadron In the harbor. The
force proceeded for Cienfuegoes last
evening on special train. 1t was ex-
planned that this movement was not
made on account of any actual trouble
In Cienfuegos, but for the purpose Of
exerting a calming influence on the
local situation, which contains some
possibility of conflict by reason of
the tense feeling existing between the
government volunteers and the insur
gents.

Hubbells Forced to Trial.

Hubbells Forced to Trial.
Judge James A. Howe in district
court overru,ed the demurrer of +. NJ.
Hubbell, Son & Co. to the indictment
returned against the corporation for
leasing houses for immoral purposes.
The defense accordingly was COM
PEELED to stand trial on the indict-
ment. They demurred on the ground
that two crimes were charged in the
same indictment. The court held but
one crime was charged and two differ
ent ways of committing the same
crime. In announcing his decision
Judge Howe said:
THE right of property includes the
right Of the owner of such property to
determine for what purpose he viii
himself use it, or for what purpose he
will authorize another to use 1t. This
right is subject to the limitation
that the purpose for which the owner
uses his own property or the purpose
for which he authorizes another to
use 1t, must be lawful purpose.
'In conformity with those principles
of law, the legislature of this state
has provided that, II any person keep
a house of i'll fame, resorted to for the
purpose of prostitution and lewdness.
he shall be punished (code, section
1880; and that, II any person let any
house, knowing that tho lessee intends
to use 1t as a place or resort for the
purpose of prostitution and lewdness,
or knowingly permits such lessee to
use the same for such purpose, he
shall he punished (code, section 494D.
1t is the construction or the latter Sec
ton that Is here involved.
what this section does is this: It
prohibits the owner Of house from
authorizing the use of such house for
the purpose Of prostitution and lewd.,
ness, either by leasing 1t for such
purpose, or by knowingly permitting.
the lessee to so use IL.
This statute creates but one crime,
that is, authorizing the use of ones
house for prostitution and lewdness,
but this crime may be committed In
either of the two ways provided by
statute, that is, by contracting for the
use OF such house for the purpose OF
prostitution and lewdness, or by
knowingly permitting 1t to be used
for such purpose when contracted for
lawful purpose.
"The -demurrers will therefore be
overruled, and the defendants given an
exception"

TROOPS WILL REACH
CUBA next SATURDAY

troops are now moving toward Cuba.
Mobilization of the force will be at
New port News, Va, the most part, al
though part Of the first expeditionary
force will be sent from Ne wYork AMI
Tampa, Fla. Advices received at the
military department yesterday Indicate
that all is quiet in Cuba, and that the
insurgents intend to lay down their
arms. The probability is that United
States forces will be landed only as
a precautionary measure. So far as
officials here are advised, no trouble
of serious nature is anticipated. But
in accordance with instructions from
President Roosevelt, hurried prepare.
lions are being made for the sending
Of an expeditionary force to Cuba.
The first American troops will be
landed at Havana Saturday. Mean.
time, the marines and bluejackets
from the American fleet will protect
American interests and support Gov
ernor Taft in the preservation Of or
der and the protection Of life and
property.
In official circles American inter.
vention was regarded as inevitable.
How long it may continue is impos-
sible to foretell. The nature of the
Intervention indicates a supervision
Of Cuban affairs for an indefinite per.
iod. Arrangements have been con!
cluded not only for the first expedi-
tionary force of about five thousand

He felt that they should be liberated,
but there was also additional reason,
namely, FIVE of them were members
of a committee of eight named by the
liberal party to aid Governor Tart 10
procure the peaceful disarming OF tho
rebels in the field.
When the prisoners were released
they fastened to the American lega'
tion to pay their respects to Mr.. TAT
whom they hailed dramatically as
the deliverer of their country. There
was an affecting scene in the ante
room of the legation when they met
Alfredo Zayas and others or their
party leaders and a number OF insur'
gent commanders. Affectionate en-
braces were exchanged and the mem
bers of the committee Immediately
urged the rebel commanders to sur
render quietly and promptly to the
commission appointed by Governor
Taft to receive their arms. Already
the work has progressed so far that
it appears that the insurgents well
come the opportunity to return tt
their homes under conditions which
to them appear to be honorable.
Brigadier General Funston yester.
lay visited Generals Guerra and Del
Castillo. The latter declared 1t to be
his intention to cooperate In every
possible way to assist the American,
to restore order. At the same time
he declared that he would never have
abandoned the cause he was fighting
for had the mediators endeavored tc
determine the conflict leaving thu
moderates in power.
All subsecretaries of the executive
departments are continued In their
positions for the present.
Carlos Roloff who has been trea
surer since Cuba received her indie
pendence, submitted financial state
ment on the treasury, but this has
not yet been inspected. Nevertheless
Governor Taft gave him receipt fol
the money according to the statement
presented and begged Senior Roloff t.
continue in his position.
Mr.. Taft stated last night that he
expected to remain in Cuba only I
fortnight longer and would then re
turn to WASHINGTON. as affairs con
corning the Philippine islands and
the Panama canal demanded his i'm
mediate attention. He has requested
Secretary Bacon to remain another
week to further assist in perfectini
an organization necessary to thor
oughly install provisional governor.
Governor Taft has nominated Beck
man Winthrop, governor of Porte
Rico, for the provisional governorshir
here, recommending to the Cubans

as the provisional government con.
