THE LIQUOR TRAFFIC.

pr desires to express a few thoughts
for the consideration OF the people
at large.
IL is the desire Of all good citizens
to have the evils OF the liquor traf-
fic wholly eradicated and we, the
people, have devised and put into
execution many plans such as: State
wide prohibition, state dispensary,
local option and licensed saloons,
and all these have proven faiure.
Therefore, we will have to Try an
other plan If we should succeed, and
that plan is this:
Let the government Cthe people,
manufacture all Intoxicating liquors

your breath and read further. The
writer when this subject was first
presented revolted at the idea OF
the government engaging in an en-
terprise that would degrade and de
bauch its citizens but as | read and
studied the question / became con
ycrted and the following facts
brought about my conversion:
II the government would manufac-
ture all intoxicating liquors it would
eliminate all private profit, and to
eliminate private profit tor anyth ng
it is no longer sought after or appre-
ciated. 1t would eliminate open sa-
looms, blind tigers and moonshine
stills, with all their attendant evils
such as the social drink, gambling
dcns and baudy houses, crimes and
murders, for the reason, that no one
could manufacture and sell liquor
and compete with the government.
We would have pure liquor and
the peoples health would not be
injured. We would not have any pro-
secutions in court over the liquor
traffic, and perjury in connection
with the same would be eliminated.
The government would be a large
purchaser of such grains and fruits
as enter into the manufacture of
liquors, thereby furnishing a market
for the farmers products at a good
price, and it We so desired, We could
sell liquors to foreign powers and
rake i'm millions.
We could have government dispen-
saries over the country wherever
they might be needed for the con
yenience of the people, and sell to
the people in such quantities as they
might wish TO buy, and it would not
be long until society would so regu-
late the use of liquor that If man
should get drunk in public place
he would be banished from society
and looked upon as a reprobate.

added the Lutheran and several 9TH

opposed 70 prohibition have had lit.
tie TO say, but for som ereason or
other they are becoming more out
spoken. Private adviCcs are TO the
effect that many prominent church
leaders of the denominations named
have come 10 the conclusion that IN
proportion as religious bodies press
for prohibitory laws. they lose the
good will of liberal minded men and
thousands Of others who feel that
the churches should accomplish what
they desire in the way Of temperance
by moral efforts and suasion.

Appeal of the Chicago Murder
Dismissed by United States
Supreme Court.

Washington. Oct. 1s.-The supreme
court of the United States today dis
missed for want of jurisdiction the ap-
peal OF Herman Billik from the decis-
ion of Judge Lands of the United
States circuit court for the northern
district OF Illinois, denying the petition
for q writ of habeas corpus in the
case Of Billik, who is under sentence
OF death IN Chicago on the charge OF
numbering a number of people.
1t is probable that Billik viii not get
another stay of proceedings and there
fore that the sentence of the trial court
will be executed.
The new federal statute requiring
federal courts to issue certificates or
probable justification in granting ap-
peals in criminal cases was brought
into use for the first time in connec-
ton with this case, the states attor-
ney for Cook county citing the law
for the purpose of showing that it had
not been complied with, and on that
account asking for the dismissal of the
case.
