Vote on the Repeal Of Township Option Reveals
Waning Strength Of Wets in the House
Liquor Forces on the Defensive

the 1900 session. another repeal bill was introduced in
1911 No considerable number of townships had re-
turned to the license system in the township elections
of 1870 and the liquor interests clearly that their
only salvation lay in the repeal of the law. They
brought to bear all possible pressure but could mus
ter only sxty-four votes for repeal Evidently town
ship option had gained friends in the lower house of
the legislature.
In this present session the vets disguised their
repeal BILL They not nearly of their
ground in the legislature they have been in pre-
vious sessions they have lost much of their AFRO
gance and self assurance. It has finally begun to
dawn on them that they representing interest
that is in anything but good favor with the people
So this present session found repeal bill that was
masquerading under misleading title. The trick
fooled friends of township option, and Tom Curran
champion of the wet forces, took precaution that it
should not fool any of the United Societies repre-
sentatives by declaring the floor of the house when
the measure up for vote that "this is the re-
pealer." 1t received but ffty-fve votes.
The other wet bill, bill to grant railroads the
privilege of selling liquor buffet and dining cars
received but ffty-two votes.
Can any man, in the light of the defeat of these
two wet bills the only the liquor interests have
thus far had up for test in the house, and with the
record of the preceding sessions of the legislature in
mind doubt how the war is going?
The saloon crowd is in the last ditch, and the day
of the total humiliation of the home destroying

A glance at the above figures tells the story of
the progress made in the Illinois house of representa-
tives by the local option forces The vets and drys
have changed positions. The aggressors are put on
the defensive Township option becomes thor
oughly established the years go by. 1t has proved
its worth 1t is here stay The hundreds of cities
and villages made dry under this law have desire
to surrender their peace and prosperity to the liquor
interests They simply will not do it. And the ma
jorty of the members of the house know and realize
the sentiment that prevails throughout the state in
favor of this law which works for the benefit of the
whole people rather than for the benefit of private in
terests.
How Temperance Sentiment Has Grown in
the House.
We respectfully commend to the careful con-
sderation of any who perhaps may fear that progress
for temperance legislation has been slow, the story
told by these figures:
In 1909 the vets succeeded in getting a repeal
bill through the house with one vote to spare. Hap
PLY for Illinois, the senate defeated this measure.
The drys were on the defensive They were forced to
fight every inch of the way to retain the advance
ground taken in the session of 1907 On the seventh
day of April in 1908 township local option had put
1900 saloons into the discard Over 900 townships
had declared themselves dry territory by the grace of
this law and the votes of the people The liquor in
teress looking with eyes upon this dry
territory True, under the provisions of the law an
other vote could be taken in these townships in 1910
but the brewing and distling interests would much
prefer to have the law repealed which granted to the
voter the right to vote the license question than
trust to the verdict of the people Hence the srenu
effort that put forth in 1909 repeal the law
that responsible for the wping of so many sa-
looms in the state

SEEKING TO FREE FISH
 HOOK, HE FINDS PEARL

 Valuable Discovery.

a Lead Hill. Aug 2S.-When Floyd Brown. a young farmer living on White river near Lead Hill, waded into the stream last week to disen- gage his brothers artificial minnow which had caught under a rock, he had no idea that he would find tho best pearl that has been discovered in this section this year. As Brown waded out of the river he chanced up- on few mussels and brought them to the bank with him. In one of them he found the pearl.
 It weighed 26 grains and has a per- feet lustre. It is oval shaped, some what like an egg and it is believed will bring a good price. The low con- dition of White river at this time, aft CT crops are laid by,' is giving To- cal farmer boys great opportunity to hunt for pearls.
 Many mussel beds are left high and dry. making easy the digging for shells, and practically every farmer. and many from town are engaged ill that work. aa.
