Both Sides of the Liquor Question

liquor Prohibition has promoted in
temperance and drunkenness in Rock
ford in exactly the same proportion as
it has in other communities
The prohibitionists themselves are a
part of prohibition deception. They
present the figures of increased prop
erty valuations from 1906 to 1908, and
yet, by Withholding from the public the
absolute facts, deceive 1t into believ-
ing that this is one of the favorable
results of the anti-saloon campaign.
Now let us see what the actual fig
ures show. The full value of all prop
erty in the city of Rockford in 1906
was $3S.229, 335; in 1909, $51.2s2;S82.
or an increase of $4,000, 900 in round
figures. In the year 1907, when Rock
ford was still wet, the increase in valu-
alton was $7,904,475, or 20.6 per cent.

does not provide such facilities for
Furnishing offenders as does the local
option law, and therefore the local OPP
ton regulations will be more easily en-
forced. Any person who has ears to
hear needs only to walk the streets on
Sunday, or after midnight, and listen
to the jingling of the cash registers in
saloons, and look at the streams of
men entering the side doors, to find
visible evidence that blind pigs are
thick in the city now. There can hard
ly be more, even If the saloons are
closed up.
The liquor people are making loud
noises about the saloon as the friend
of the laboring man, but the men of
the trades unions are waking up TO
the fact that it is false friend. Here
is news item from Philadelphia, sent
out by the Associated Press under
date of March 81:
Declaring that the passage of a
local option law would hasten the set
Element of the trouble between the
Philadelphia Rapid Transit company
and its employees, the Central Labor
union today adopted a resolution call
ing upon members of trades unions to
agitate and vote for local option at
every opportunity"
In Chicago the laboring men have
found out the fallacy of the saloons
professed friendship, for the beer wag-
ons and other vehicles used in the IL
quor business are practically without
exception handled by men who are
not members OF the Transfers union.
A vote against the saloon next Tues
day will be vote for a new era of
business prosperity in Rock Island. 1t
will be a vote for closing the 100 or
more blind pigs" now in operation In
the city. 1t will be q vote of intelli-
gence against ignorance and prejudice
and defiance of law. The man who
has the welfare of the city at heart

emancipation of the slaves was es-
sential to the progress Of civilization
The question of taxes is one that
worries the liquor men a lot. They
say that no saloons will raise taxes
But how can taxes be raised when
they are already at the legal limit
Moreover, how much tax money will
it take to pay for the destruction OF
character, earning power, and even
life, of the young men of the city
whom the saloon leads astray?
Down at Muscatine, the jail is
empty much of the time, and the
grand jury does its work in 1 8 min
utes since they have no saloons tC
furnish lawbreakers. Other, dry
towns have a similar experience.
The liquor men say that If Rock Is
land goes dry we shall have liquor sold
by ''blind pigs" But what is blind
pig?" The accepted definition is that
blind pig" a speak easy" or a
blind tiger" Is a place where intoxi-
cants are sold illegally. BY that def1ni-
ton, we have something over one hun
bred blind pigs" in active operation
in Rock Island now. A saloon that
sells liquor to minors or to drunkards,
or after closing hours, or on Sunday,
sells it illegally, and in defiance of law.
Practically every saloon in this city
sells liquor In those ways; therefore
practically every saloon is a blind
pig" right now. The law now in force

Cairo, Ill, March 30.-Some blame
fer the attack on the Jail Feb. II, dur
ing which one man was killed and
several injureL in an unsuccessful at
tempt to lynch two negroes, was laid
at the doors of Mayor Parsons and the
police department. by the grand jury
yesterday. No further indictments
were returned. Twelve indictments
on charges OF riotlng were returned
last week.
The jury holds that the attack on
tie jail could have been averted had
the city authorities attended to their
sworn duties or made any reasonable
effort to go to the aid of Sheriff Nellis
The latter also is criticised for not
asking for aid sooner than he did.
Company X, the local militia company,
is criticised for not reporting for duty
sooner.

Anti-saloon prohibitionists are par
aiding over the state of Illinois the ar
gument that Rockford under prohibit
ton has had greater material progress
than ever during its previous history.
While this statement is on its face ut
terly false, it is not the disposition
of those who are opposed to the doc
trine of the anti-saloon element to dis
credit the prosperity of any city, and
but for the one fact that we are fight
ing this campaign for the perpetuation
of the underlying principles of this
government-liberty and independence
we would not be disposed to answer
in any manner statements of this char
acter. The entire argument of the

known that in no instance have they

Rheumatic
Pains

my mother is a great suf-
ferer from rheumatism, and DR..
Miles Anti-Pain Pills is the only
remedy that relieves her."
MRS. G. DAVENPORT,
Roycefeld, N. J.
The pains of rheumatism are
almost invariably relieved with
DR.. Miles Anti-Pain Pills. They
also overcome that nervous irri-
tation which prevents sleep be-
cause they soothe the nerves. To
chronic suffers they are inva1u-
able. When taken as directed,
they relieve the distress and
save the weakening influence of
pain, which so frequently pros
trates. Many sufferers use them
whenever occasion requires with
the greatest satisfaction, why
not you? They do not derange
the stomach nor create a habit.
Why not try them? Get pack
age from your druggist. Take it
according to directions, and if
it does not benefit he will return
your money.

MANN TOMORROW EVENING.

Here is the story of The Man Who
stood Still" the play in which that
excellent actor and matchless come
dian. Louis Mann, will be seen tomor-
row evening at the Grand opera house,
Davenport. The scene of the play is
the lower East Side district of New
York City-the neighborhood which
the late Charles H. Hoyt so comically
celebrated in his famous song Of "On
the Bowery' Mr.. Mann's role is that
of John Krauss, a Swiss matchmaker,
who takes his calling as a fine art,
and is more interested in the perfec-
ton Of what he does than in its pos
sible commercial value. Indeed, he
has no interest whatever in the
mere monetary or material success
of his business, SO that he does not
begin to keep pace with his rivals,
who, although they offer an inferior
line of goods, have the g1od sense to
adopt American, up-to-date methods of
pushing things. But it is not only
in business that Krauss is a Bourbon.
When young man, at home, he be-
came the husband of the girl his faith
er had picked out for him, had been
happy with her, and had mourned her
death as an irreparable loss. So, he
expects his only child, a daughter,
Marie, to do likewise-love where her
father chooses. But she has been at
tracted by the good-natured smartness
of the son of Krauss' most bitter

MRS JEFFERSON SUED.

New York, March 30.-James w.
Morrissey, at one time the manager
of the Garden theatre and Madison
Square garden, has begun supreme
court action for SANDER and alleged
false Imprisonment against Sarah A.
Jefferson, the widow of Joe" Jetfer-
son, the actor, in which he demands
100000 damages. Mr.. Morrissey
claims he suffered 100000 damages
to his character and reputation by
reason of alleged statements of Mrs.
Jefferson that he was misappropriat-
ing funds that he was collecting in
1909 for the Joseph Jefferson Monu-
ment association. He asks Sl00, 1000
additional damages for being arrest
ed upon a charge that he had vio-
lated the law, having failed to file
the proper certificate of inc0rpcra-
ton with the county clerk. Norris
sey was actI lifted of this uffense. 1t
appears that the monument assC-
citation" was started by Morlissey
with the approval of Mrs. Jefferson
and her son. After a short time Mrs.
jefferson and her son withdrew their
consent to have Morrissey head tEe
enterprise 1t was when he persisted
in soliciting money that he was ar
letters from Mrs. jefferson and her
son, Charles, to show his authority
for collecting cash.

Now it appears that the advocates
of the saloon do not think that the
campaign against their business is
consistent with the Golden Rule and
the principles of Christianity as laid
down in the bible. Their attitude
