1t Means Richer Farms

Below is given in full article from the Bust
News Page edited by Boersianer, of the Chicago
Daily Examiner of March H. While this article deals
directly with the Webb law in it's relation to the
business world, there is statement made which
serves excellent text for appeal for county
local option Boersianer says that the railroads
rather unconcerned about their estimated loss Of ST.,
100000 in freight charges through the curtalment of
liquor shipments on account of the Webb law because
the absence of liquor in these states i'm
proved moral condition resulting in richer farms,
which in the long to them increased ship
ments in grain and stock.
1t is easy in arguing for local option to fall into
the error of thinking that it will work benefit only
the farmer So much has been said in behalf of the
farmer of the injustice of taxing him without giving
him representation with reference to the license ques
tion that it is surprising if people think that
county local option is designed especially for the bene
fit Of the men in the country.
It is indeed gratifying to learn the attitude of the
railroads toward the Webb BILL and to know their
willingness cooperate in making this law
The article referred below is of tremendous value
to the readers of the Issue, considered from that
standpoint alone but it has additional value in that
emphasizes the fact that the absence of liquor from
farming community works direct benefit upon the
business world by improving conditions in that farm
ing community. If the business Of Our state the
large manufacturers, and the men of affairs in
Cities could only see what the railroads seeing
that the abolition of liquor means richer FARMS in
creased grain production and consequently greater
prosperity, there would be practically unanimous
demand for the enactment of the county local option
law that would give the farmers the opportunity to
help in Kidding the community of the saloon

The most marked characteristic of the saloon is it's
lawlessness matter what the law is If this is true
and the fact is beyond dispute, is there any
believe that it will change its nature and become
orderly if its nsolent demands for Sunday opening be

Giving Away a Good Joke

We that readers will be glad to-
know what their old friend William E. Hull, general
manager of the Clark Brothers Co.. distiery, of
PEORIA thinks of the Webb law
Mr.. Hull, it will be remembered, directed the
fight for the liquor forces in the local option campaign
Of 1908:
We quote him from the Champion of Fair Play:
The Webb bill it stands is unconst-
tutional. The local liquor interests have had
some of the best attorneys in the country
working on the bill, and they unanimous
in their decision as to it's unconstitutionality
We have made no strenuous opposition
to the bill as yet, and will not do so until an
endeavor is made to enforce it as a law. Then
expect to carry the matter to the supreme
court, where feel it will be abolished
unconstitutional.
In the event it is held to be constitutional
we will make great effort to have it re-
peaed, the law in itself would tend to
change the consensus of opinion in the states
which voted dry.
Now here the liquor interests playing good
joke on the public, and Mr.. Hull, of PEORIA gives it
away.
Everybody around Washington thought that the
whole liquor combine against the Webb measure.
Even Congressman SABBATH and Uncle Joe thought SO.
But it seems that they WEREN'T they were just pre-
tending to be against it. The fact is they wanted it
passed way to make dry states repeal their
Prohibition laws.
Now that you have tipped off the joke Mr.. Hull,
what's the use of carrying it any further by pretend
ing that you want the supreme court to declare
constitutional?

William G. Shepherd, European
correspondent for The Day Book, has
just concluded a, weeks personal con-
ference in France with the great
Louis Lepine, who for over twenty
years has been the famous chief OF
the Paris police.
Of all the crimes that has hap
pened in that time, Lepine has related
to Shepherd, especially for our read
ers, those he considers the most mo-
mentous -mystifying!
These astonishing stories set down
for the first time from the viewpoint
of this flesh and blood Sherlock
Holmes who ferreted them out are
far more thrilling than any fiction,
for they tell of the tragedies of real
human beings caught in, the mael-
strom of Paris, the city OF weird
crimes and mysteries.
These are the five great, battling
