Tricks of the Liquor Traffic

The liquor traffic has its representatives at Wash
ngton it's paid representatives in the lobby and its
influential representatives among congressman. Hugh
F. Harvey the representative OF the liquor interests
of this country at our National Capitol Congressman
Bartloldt of Missouri is one of the congressman who
stands sponsor for the liquor interests at Washington
Recently banquet held in ST. Louis at which
both Of these gentlemen spoke and reference was made
by both of them the temperance legislation which is
now pending at Washington 1t is most interesting to
observe the methods which these gentlemen take
defeat temperance legislation Listen to this from the
lips of Congressman Barthodt.
Mr. Harvey right We appeared before the committee
the other day and succeeded having the hearing post
poned. On Friday will do the thing l will tell
them it will take sixty days prepare my speech
Qaughter) and after they have heard will that
Mr. SABBATH congressman from Chago) before that
committee and he will say will take sixty days to
his speech Qaughter and do not think they turn
down the members of when they want to be heard
especially when takes them sixty days to great
legal and constitutional argument. Uaughter)
We did not suppose they would be honest enough
to admit it, but there it is in cold black type They
expect to defeat the Interstate Commerce Bill by de-
laying action on it. 1t is the old game of dragging
the fight to the end of the session until too late
to get vote on the bill The liquor traffic is afraid
to into the open. We dare them to go into the
open at congress Springfield Their way Of de
feating temperance legislation is to smother in
mittee to stihe it, to prevent fair hearing
They do not want the people to have vote
on the saloon question and they oppose
Township Local Option and County Local OPP
ton. Everywhere along the line they afraid of the
light of day, afraid of fair play. If they win their
battles it is by subteruge and trickery and unfair
methods of every kind The days of the liquor traffic
numbered for it's method of combat is confession
of weakness and wickedness.

Says the Mayor Of Rockford to the
Mayor of Boise

An editorial in the Rockford Republic Of June
in commenting the two kilograms which we here
with print says, ct is the fact that Rockford is the
largest dry city in the United States that turns the
melight in this direction' If to any it that
the Issue is making frequent references to the city
of Rockford we plead justification the grounds set
forth in the above by the Rockford Republic
The eyes of most people who interested in knowing
how prohibition of the liquor traffic affects the city,
turned toward Rockford.
Here is city that is not only saloonless but its
public officials in hearty sympathy with the no.
license program The result is the noicense law is
enforced The Rockford Republic in this edi
toria says ct is fact known to the vets and to the
drys that prohibition prohibits in Rockford" This
being the case Rockford offers accurate data
be given as to how the absence of saloons affects the
moral and business interests of city. We expect to
present this data to the public from time to time
The following kilograms were exchanged last week
between the mayor of Boise Idaho and Mayor Bennett
of Rockford. They speak for themselves.
