VOLUME VII

Jacksonville, Morgan county, Illinois, saw the
last of her saloons in the fall Of 1907 and the men that
control the real prosperity Of the city, the merchants
and bankers in the city itself and the farmers in the
county without, say that they will again return
The saloons are longer issue in this beauti
full and prosperous town. They have been beaten
three times and they will be beaten the fourth and
the fifth and every time that they come up for vote
say the merchants certain they that they do not
want them again. One said to me:
1--WE are just as good runners the saloon crowd
and they think that they tire out, let them
go ahead We are getting stronger all the time and
they are getting weaker If they can't beat
what chance do you think they will have in another
two years?"
This statement sums up the sentiment Of the
merchants that have been in the fight from the start
and it is coming to be the sentiment OF many that
the fence. They have seen that the loss
of saloons has not been deriment to their business
even if they are willing to admit that it has been
help. But the man you talk to for more than min
ute at time is pretty sure let drop some remark
that will tell the real Of his feelings if he is
too polite CD to commit himself out of hand
Bank Deposits Grow.
It is pretty we'll established fact that no town
that is not prospecting will make much of showing
in the matter of bank deposits and savings But when
the reader hears that since the loss of saloons four
years ago last fall that the banks of Jackson
vile have gained in deposits $o42ooo he will wonder
just what kind Of argument the saloon crowd offer
to combat this showing And when he further hears
that the bank clearings of the Decatur banks showed
week last October that they only II per cent
bigger than the bank cearings of the Jacksonville
financial institutions, and with the former city 100
per larger and with much better transportation
facilities he will have additional item to ponder
over.

Jacksonvle-No Saloons Gains Nearly Million in
Deposits in -Four "Dry" Years
NUMBER IL
MARCH Is, 1912

III lily l CdIS
And this statement of the prosperity OF the banks
is but reflection of the prosperity of the merchants.
They almost unit in saying that the presence of
saloons is detriment their city. And from the
moral consideration they unanimous. One man
on the square who is doing finer business than
said
1T is good thing that you people do not call
on very often would have no time to wait
on trade tell you when get started on this "wet'
and dry" talk never know when to quit.
Improvements On Every Hand.
And as walked out of his store and looked across
the business square and all the things that
the city has gained since the saloons closed could
help joining in his enthusiasm. For instance there is
the New Ayers National Bank building that is under
way 1t will cost close to $25oooooo and is far and
away the finest structure the city will possess The
vce-president of the bank Mr.. Robert M. Hockenhul
said enthusiastically, that it is going to have the finest
vaults and general bank system Of any bank outside of
Chicago. The two banks whose merger is responsible
for this fine structure gained between them $780,
10000 of the above mentioned $o42 Then there
three churches erected since the saloons went
out of business. These-the Christian Grace M E.
and the Northmnster Presbyterian cost $2oo,ooooo.
Besides these evidences Of prosperity there are
many other smaller buildings, residences, ETC., which
ing up. Another matter brought to my atten-
ton is vital proof Of the immediate effect Of the
license policy Almost the same day that the saloons
closed several merchants began to put in new fronts
to build additions to their stores. One said
that when he got up from sick bed he hardly knew
the square and he had lived in the city for twenty
years. Do all of these things then show that Jackson
vile is off without its thrty-two saloons and
their license money of $4,000 each?
Volume of Crime Decreases
The decrease in crime is also notable since the
no-license policy introduced. The report of the
