The Illinois issue. (Chicago, Ill. ;) 1906-1912, 1911-08-18


Some First Principles
Dear friend-Right here need to understand each
other shall speak for the twenty who make the
working force of the league You will speak for yourself
You have sent us fight for you your rep
resenatives 'front.' In the COS the people Of the
North Grant and his soldiers out to fight for them The
analogy is true Grant and his merely lead
great contestso We They were hghtlng Tor
great cause-but greater than They endured peril
and hardship hardship and sacrifice and toll and abuse are
our lot too.
League Force Entitled to Support
We do ask for sympathy in this fight. There
molly coddles the league force in Illinois. Every man
knew what before he into the work and he
ready bear soldiers part We do not ask for
thy but do ask for what have real right to demand
your loyal support
The country Grant to fight for it, but backed
up; it kept his commissay supplied furnished the
ammuntion cheered his Victories and took good OF
critics and enemies home who shot into the backs of the
boys at the front. Thus supported Grant did the fighting
and did it we'll.
League Can Win, If Backed Up
Let us be perfectly plain 1t is disloya thing to send
out body Of fight and deny them plenty OF ammt
milton to fight with That is what folks doing with
the AntiSaoon League today The AnSaloon League IS
capable of whipping the liquor traffic in Illinois to stand
STILL and the only it hasn't yet completely done It,
because only part of the temperance forces want 1t to
1t badly enough TO keep cohllssdly sup
piled that there is plenty OF ammunition on hand
to appreciate Victories and take good of its critics
vfers who shoot into the backs of the leaders while
they fighting the enemy in front.
Only Onethird of the Churches Cooperate
do not speak at random Here are facts
Fact No There are some 5000 churches in Illinois be-
longing to denominations that committed to the Anti
Saloon League yet less than onethrd of themto be
exact Just 195O-cooperaed with the AntiSaoon League
last year Was your church of the 1850 that refused
the league admittance put it off, it second or
third place? Do Won think the church deserves to
win until it is fully enlisted in the fight? Don't you
think ntSoon League has done mighty we'll with the
support of less third of the churches in Illinois?
Unpaid Subscriptions Cripple the Work
Fact No. 2--There hundreds of men and women yea
thousands who subscribe to the AntSaloon League and
The Illinois issue. (Chicago, Ill. ;) 1906-1912, 1911-08-18
Too Many Short Term Enlistments


Fact No 3-There hundreds yea thousands, of Chris
tan and who subscribe to the league year
fail to subscribe the year They take vacation,
they expect the league take vacations and keep
right fighting 1t fact that if the old friends Of the
league stayed by the fight year in and year out with the
thousands of friends the league gains each year. it would
in very few years be able to strike the liquor traffic in
Illinois it's death blow That's fact.
Must Give Very Best if Expect Victory
Now we getting into another great campaign it
will be the greatest Illinois You expect 90
right And doing it. Since the day the legisla
adjourned have been busy getting ready for April
g. 1912 We have increased the league working force have
carried organization campaign right through the hot
weather and the discouragements of the summer
when many of our friends have away to the lake and
the seasore forgetting that their faithful servant the Anti
Saloon League is still the job and must be kept going
Friend have spoken for the league working force We
your servants only. This is yon fight Now it is for
to speak. Brother pastoryou want to win-wll you
help the extent Of gaining hearing for your
before your people? Brother ayayou who have not
paid renewed your subscription don't you think you
better do it NOIV9 IF you get back of u.s. win.
Can't Win Until Ready to Pay the Price of Victory
No great cause of history triumphed until it
fought for by determined devoted sacrificing people, It
will be with this When the temperance people
determined devoted and ready sacrifice and keep
sacrificing, they will win The Illinois AntSaoon League
had stronger devoted ADLER body of field
workers than The temperance forces had bet
chance at victory and advancement than nowand if
they will take advantage of it and STAND BACK OF THEIR
BOYS AT THE 'FRONT.' they will win at the primary next
April get county option and other needed laws 1913 and
take another long step toward the ultimate goal.

Indian cottons are as a rule of shorter

1t seems strange to see the greatest
cotton producing country of the world
bringing raw cotton half way around
the globe and importing it for use in
her own manufacturing industries. 1t
is nevertheless a fact that the United
States, which produces practically
two-thirds of the worlds cotton,
brought from China during the last
fiscal year 191D more than 9 million
pounds of raw cotton, at a cost in that
country of more than l million dollars
and from India in 1910 about l-2 mil
lion pounds, at a valuation of more
than half million dollars. Other dis
tant sections of the world were also
drawn upon-Peru, ga million
pounds in 1911: Dutch East Indies, in
1909, nearly a half million pounds;
Haiti in 1911, nearly half million
pounds, while other contributors in
clude Venezuela, Ecuador British
West Indies. Santo Domingo, Mexico,
Panama. Nicaragua and Costa RIGA,
while from Egypt, the chief source of
supply of long stapled, high grade cot
ton the imports in 1911 were larger
than in any earlier year, amounting 20
So million pounds. In addition to this
there was imported from England
about 7 1-2 million pounds, presumably
chiefly East Indian. Egyptian and
West African. since England, OF
course, produces no cotton. Raw cot
ton importations in .1911 were larger
than in any earlier year. amounting
to 113,76S.313 pounds, valued at $24,-
1890,
High prices of domestic cotton arc
the cause of the large increase in inn
portation of cotton, especially that
from China and India. The quanitv
of cotton imported from China never
reached a quarter of a million pounds
prior to 1908, and in 1909 was practic-
