Anti>SaloonL League Is the hing TheyFear
JULY II. 1912
NUMBER %

Evidently the Anti-Saloon League has forced the
liquor interests unite About the best evidence of
the effectiveness of the Leagues warfare is in this
statement of Mr.. Rohde's that the wholesale liquor
dealers and the retailers compelled to unite
in order to meet the assaults of the enemy.
He says that "a very happy bond of union" has been
effected and that "the barrier Oack of union among
the liquor forces) that has for so long been STUN
bling block in the advancement of the best interests
of united trade has been broken down. It has
doubtless become apparent to the liquor traffic that the
Anti-Saoon League is their Nemesis and that they
must unite their efforts in order to meet its effective
attack. Absolutely better proof of the effectiveness
of the Leagues methods could be obtained.
Whisting To Keep Up Their Courage.
Mr.. Rohde says, Under Mr.. Kunde's manage
ment the primaries resulted greatly in favor and
for the past two weeks the Anti-Saloon League has
been whstling to keep up their courage" We should
like Mr.. Rohde to furnish names showing that the
liquor interests were so successful In Cook county
they lost ground for at least twice many temper
have been nominated to the Legislature from
Cook county as were nominated two years ago. Like
wise in the country part of the they lost ground
for at least dozen more local option have been
nominated than were nominated in 1910. We have it
the word of a liquor high in the councils of
the liquor organization in this state that they really
lost their fight in the primaries 1t will be observed
that Mr.. Rohde does not give any names or 60 into
details 1t is very evident that he "has been whistling
to keep up his courage"
Some Good Advice from the Liquor Side
Mr.. Rohde earnestly advises all liquor men that
the contest not yet definitely settled and will not be
settled until after the fall elections He urges them
not to be overconfdent Ito be lued into ndiffer
ence until after that time Part of Mr.. Rohde's advice
is good for us, and part of it is bad We, too should
realize that the fight not to be settled until tie

VOLUME VII

The Anti-Saloon League is the Nemesis of the
liquor traffic. 1t is the one organization feared
today by the liquor business One has only to read
the various liquor papers and note the constant
of the of the League, to realize that it the
ghost that constantly rises before them and twill not
down.
A Glowing Tribute To the League.
At recent convention of the Cook County Liquor
Dealers Protective Association in Chicago, President
Fred Rohde delivered glowing tribute to the Anti
Saloon League, although of course, he did not intend
to do We quote choice extract from Mr.. Rohdes
speech:
The selection of candidates for the various state
officers took place in April last, and pleased to
report that very happy bond of union has been
cessfuy forged composed of joint committee of the
brewers, wholesale qucr dealers and retailers and
we particularly proud If the fact that Our state
president, Mr. Ernest Kunde, made chairman Of
the same; an honor that we should be Justly proud Of
and I horc and trust will be the means of breaking
down the barrier that has been stumbling block IN
the advancement of the best interests OF united trade
Under Mr. Kunde'S management, the primaries re-
suited greatly favor and for the past few weeks
the Anti-Saoon League has been whstlng to keep up
their courage.
Of course, results will not be definitely settled
until after the fall elections and must not be
confident and 1ulled into Indifference until after that
time. We have very willy foe to contend with, and
they will endeavor to induce independent candidates
to enter the field and there may be danger in a few
cases that by concentration of their votes some
1beral-minded may be forced to step aside for
an Anti-Saloon crank you, therefore, to keep
alert and complete the partial victory of last spring in
the coming fall campaign
I cannot impress upon you too strongly the i'm
portance of sending liberalminded to national
congress- This august body has much to do with the
liquor interests and blow from that quarter would
affect us ALL The activity of the Anti-Saoonists is

TITLE TO THE RIVER FRONT.
District Supreme Court Will Pass
Upon the Claims.

Title to lands from Buzzards point to
Pennsylvania avenue bridge, along the
Anacostfa river. on the Potomac river
and on Rock creek. claimed by the United
States and under investigation by a COM
mission, is to be tested by suits which
will soon be brought in the Supreme
Court Of the District Of Columbia by the
Attorney General.
According to the original allotments in
the District of Columbia all the land be-
tween Water street and the water front
vested in the United States. According
to decision of the Supreme Court of the
United States in 1896 Water street is
assumed to run parallel to both the Po-
tomac and the Anacostia rivers within
the District of Columbia. Under this in
depreciation the entire water front is
claimed fol- the United States.
Most of the property in dispute is I'M
improved. There are some few houses
greatly involved in some cases. The
commission. established by Congress sew
eral years ago, has been determining
and locating claimants to the land.
An act of Congress, passed last month,
authorized the Supreme Court Of the Dis
trict of Columbia to pass upon the titles
to this land If the ownership Of the
United States is not established the
court is empowered to fix the values of
whatever other claims exist
The first Of the series of suits, it is ex-
pected, will be filed in this court within
few weeks. Stuart Mcnamara, special
assistant to the Attorney General, is pre-
pairing the cases.

before the Stanton Suffrage Club at the
Public Library.
Mrs. Hemingway presided and the larg-

to hear Representative Hobson. He de-
clared that war would become obsolete
If women were given the ballot, that
peace policies would prevail and the fac
tors of safety would be doubled when
questions of danger were involved.
Representative Hobson said that giving
the woman the ballot would not neces-

sphere. Questions of morals. health and
decency, he said, would be given more
attention by lawmakers and that womans
cooperation with man is vital in this new
age where service is the test.
