why Not License 0Em9

The Chicago Examiner Of July 16, prints
a list of seventy -fve places where open
gambling is being carried on in the city
OF Chicago. 1t is explicit, giving the
location Of each place. The Examiner
makes the declaration that the gambling
trust is more powerful than Chief Nc
Weeny, declaring that open Gambling took
en- capital letters within the past week.
This ought to be conclusive proof that
prohibition don't prohibit as far as
gambling is concerned. Why not license

Anything but
County Option

OOA@AAA% OI0SAAOAA
The president and treasurer of the Decatur Brewing Com
pany in letter under date of March 49, 1911 addressed
member Of the state legislature protest against
the proposed county local option law and urges this legislator
to his influence and his vote towards defeating it. There
is paragraph in this letter that worthy of
1t is as follows:
While eternay and forever opposed to any laws
that encroach upon the rights of the individual regarding
his personal habits, would rather statewide
prohibition law passed than county option law That
brewer may not have been sincere in his statement He
might have said that just for effect believing that he
safe in offering to take alternative for county local
option law that he considers impossible But giving him
the benefit of the doubt taking him at his word assuming
that he really would prefer statewide prohibition county
option, is he rash as he seems?
Wherever there is chance for state wide prohibition to
become effective brewers with other liquor barons

have The Antisaoon League, with other temperance
organizations is fighting for the effective measure

statewide prohibition?
Is it possible that he figured that if state prohbitory
would fail of enforcement because of the
lack of public sentiment in certain localities to keep it and
result be repealed and thereby set back the temperance
movement county option with it, in this state for good
many years?
Isn't it possible that believes that the logical step

counties where sentiment in the county against the saloon

WISHING WOMAN

varied tortures!-if could, In the
pain of the experience find a way to
wake you up to the harm you do
with your absurd and unrest-breed-
ing WISH HABIT. Why, women like
you drive men to acquire MORE
THAN THEY CAN EARN. You raise
sons who are money maniacs before
they are out of high school. Your
daughters are mercenary creatures,
hooking forward toward marriage
with mlllionaires. You are the
CHIEF PRIESTESS at the. altar of
MAMMON.
1 have watched you WISHING
WOMEN. You are generally non
producers. Housekeeping Is a cross
to you. Women who can live. at
fashionable family hotels are your
envy. You throw up their luxury to
the husband, who Is doing his best;
and you give him the idea that his
money market are keeping you from
what you OUGHT to have.
Distributor of Discomfort
WHY ought you to have 1t? What
have you done that makes you de-
serving? You are a troublesome, uu-
wholesome distributor of discomfort,
and a creator of false ambitions.
And you are as unhappy sthe ones
you make miserable. Why don't you
look at the worthy wives, the BUSY
women, who are using their brains
and talents to supply the dollar def
icit? THEY recognize a limit to
their husbands earning capacity. and
try to make the best of It. THEY
are not goading men to misappropria-
ton and misery, Their children are
we'll dressed. Their houses are we'll
kept. THEY DO NOT SIT AROUND
WISHING; they are busy WORKING.
You ought to take pattern from
them!
