Large "Org" City in Wet Section"

l bring you greetings from Rock
ford, the largest dry city in the
State of Illinois, the largest dry
city in wet territory in the United
States, save Lynn and Cambridge,
Mass. Rockford is a city of 3d.
600 people, pre-eminently a manu-
featuring city, with the Swedish race
predominating We have seen both
sides of this great question-sa
looms or no saloons. Rockford has
been wet, dry, wet, and is now dry,
believe permanently so. We are,
however, not resting in sweet con-
tent over the victory won.
1t pays to have city and county
officials who will tell the truth as
they find it. This is we'll illustrat-
ed with the coroner of Winnebago
county, of which Rockford is the
county seat. Our present coroner
found that in his first four-year
term, he had held 2O6 autopsies,
and of this number, that directly
and Indirectly, alcohol was RESPONSE
BILE for the deaths of "a. 1t Is ra-
Their hard on the friends and rela-
tives of the deceased, to say that
he has died of alcoholism. 1t is a
little easier on them to say that
the decedent came to his death
from heart failure, but the great
taxpaying public is entitled to the
truth. Your coroner can help you
make a survey of your county, Ii
you get the right kind of a coroner.
Since the city of Rockford has vot-
ed out the saloons, the coroner tells
me that the deaths from alcoholism
have been reduced SO per cent.
We have seven banks in my home
city. On Jan. /, 1913, the total de-
posts of all the banks in the city
of Rockford were $93O,O0O more
than on. Jan. 1, 1912, when the
city was wet. Of this amount,
$3S4,0OO was in savings, and of
this amount of savings, $4,000
was an increase in the Swedish
American National Bank, alone, a
comparatively new bank, located
mile distant from the business CEN
ter of the city, where the other
banks are situated, in what Is
known as the great furniture fac
tory district of the city. 1t hardly
needs the comment to say that this
great increase in the savings de-
posts of this bank-nearly one
third of the total increase in saw
ings of the entire city, where the
bank occupied the position of but
one in seven, was entirely due to
the fact that the men who secure
their pay checks were cashing them
in other places than in the saloon,
where it became so necessary to
leave at least part of their earn
ings as a matter of courtesy for
the favor granted. Bank clearings
and postoffice receipts are said
to be the best barometers of bust
ness conditions. Ever since the
city went dry the bank clearings on
each succeeding month have been
greater than on any corresponding
month when the city had saloons.
The monthly reports on postoffice
receipts show a steady increase, land
further, the percentage of increase
has been greater than in any other
city in the State of Illinois.-Hon.
w. w. Bennett, Mayor of Rockford,
Illinois.

TYPHOID IN GAINESVILLE
Has Sixteen Cases and Town Ask
State Aid.

Coatesville, Pa, Nov. 1S.-The pre-
valence of typhoid fever in this vicinity
is becoming alarming. There are now
sixteen cases in town and the disease
is claiming new victims daily.
Eating raw mushrooms from field
near a place wheer sewage was de-
posted was the cause of the family
of Frank V. Pratt, of Sciousca, becom-
ing ill of typhoid fever, physicians de
clare Mr.. Pratt, his wife, child and an
employe are now convalescing.
The state was asked to assist in the
investigation and an officer from the
state health department will arrive to
work with the Coatesville board OF
health, which thinks that the cause OF
the continued outbreak is due to milk
from diaries in a most unsanitary con-
d1tion.
The board of health has advanced
the theory that the deposits contami-
mated the water supply on farms.
Samples of all milk scld in Coates
vile will be tested at once.

PRESIDENT OPENS
SEALING QUESTION
After Long Conference with Secre.
tary Nagel Message Is Sent
to Congress.

After an extended conference with
Secretary of Commerce and Labor Nagel
yesterday. President Taft finally decided
to reopen the question of fur sealing in
Alaskan waters, and therefore sent to
Congress his message on the subject,
which he had held up at the instance of
Senators Hitchcock, Dillingham;. and Mel
son.
Secretary Nagel told the President that
although It was not probable that Con-
gress would reopen the question at this
late day, he thought that the message
season should be transmitted, and the
President acceded TO his wishes.
The resumption of land seal killing.
limited to the males OF the seal herd on
the Pribilof Islands, is advocated by the
President in his message.
The President stated that the increase
in the seal herd since the suspension of
all seal killing. whether on land or at
sea, was made effective by the adoption
of the fur seal treaty Of 1911, and has
been such as to warrant the resumption
Of a limited land killing OF male seals.
The seal herd, he said. had Increased
from 10000 to 2l5.o00 by actual count
since the beginning of the close season
In 1911.
The President suggested that the ques-
ton of how many male seals should be
reserved each year for breeding purposes
should be left to the Secretary Of Com
merce and Labor. He predicted that the
seal herd would trebble and quadruple
under the protection thus afforded within
a few years
