Some Disadvantages Of Dry City

/
There are numerous cities in
the United States that. despite
the constant reiteration Of thu
advocates Of the liquor business
that the abolition of saloons will
ruin them, persist in registering
! their desire to remain IN that
supposed defunct and dying con
dition. Rockford, Illinois, is one
of these communities, and its
chief executive takes delight in
advertising to the world some of
the glaring disadvantages of the
system. He calls attention to
the fact that one class Of bust
ness which has heretofore -four
ished as a green bay tree isprac-
tically killed, namely. the traffic
in girls and women in the vice
district, for when the saloons
were voted out, the red light dis
trict vanished. He proclaims
also that his city is experiencing
frightfully dull times in its pc
lice cOurtScOmpared with former
years, and contrasts with ut
saloon-infested Springfield, an
Illinois town of the same size as
Rockford. showing that in the
former, business is so brisk along
the lines of crime that there have
been $50 arrests, and in the
dry city only 29J. Another indi
cation Of the dull times due to
the elimination of the saloons is
that the city has fewer police
men than any town Of it, size in
the United States In his public
addresses the mayor is won't to
make much of the fact that, al
though large number OF new
houses were erected last year, it
is almost impossible to find
place for rent. AS to the bank
ing business, the condition is
really alarming, for since the
town went dry, the bank de-
positss have increased almost
million dollars. Not having
saloons in which to spend their
money, what can the poor men
do but start "a savings account?
The postoffice employees in this
benighted burg are being sadly
overworked, for in the past year
1912, the business surpassed any
previous year of the city's histo
ry Quite absurdedly uncon
scious that according to the
representations Of its liquor
friends it ought by this time to
be totally bankrupt, the city is
said to have more to show for its
taxes than any other city in the
state. Unaware that by align
ing themselves on the side OF the
anti-lquor forces, according TO
certain authorities, they are
committing commercial suicide,
1873 of the 100 members Of the
retailers association are said to
be advocates of the abolition Of
the saloon, claiming that they
have discovered that in a saloon
less city collections are better
and bad debts are fewer. Alto
gether the Illinois city is so self
satisfied over these disadvan-
tages that it is recommending
them to every other city in
America
The advantage of these disad-
vantages would be greatly en-
HANGED, it should be remarked,
by making them state wide,
and even nation wide, rather
than by combining them to the
limitations Of a city, with the
possibility Of change in condi-
tons every year or two. The

I. THURSDAY. DECEMBER 4. 1918


At the annual convention of
the Texas Industrial Congress in
Dallas on December -, 1913,
besides awarding l60 cash prizes
aggregating Sl0, 600 in gold to
those Texas farmers who have
made the best showing of net
profits in tie years competitive
crop production, there will be
given to the winners the honor
badges OF the congress.
The most highly priced deco.
ration of tie British military
and naval services is the Victoria
Cross, small bronze Maltese
cross, made from metal taken
from the guns captured in the
Crimean War. The cross bears
the inscription, SFor Valor."
Two are given every year to the
soldiers or sailors, if any have
been recommended, who have
shown the most self denying
bravery in battle, usually in
rescuing the wounded under ire
Every body IN the army and navy
is eligible, from the mblest
mule driver or deck hand to the
commanding officer. The cross
is worth intrinsically probably
thirty cents, but it has been the
means of enriching the annals of
the British service with deeds of
heroism through the call it
makes for self-forgetfulness for
the general good.
The badges of the Congress
are also emblems of honorable
achievements; and while no risk
OF life has been involved, they
stand for pluck, persistence and
painstaking carried to the high
est degree in better farming, the
greatest constructive work in the
world. 1t is ali honor in the
State to be the greatest pro
Queer Of farm products at the
lowest cost, to have carried farm
living step further toward sue.
cess and better conditions. The
badges are awarded in this spirit,
and should be SO received and
worn by those who have won
them, and SO viewed by the peo-
pie Of the sections from which
the winners come.
The badges are enameled me-
dalions suspended from the
clasps by blue, red, white and
yellow ribbons. The blue rib
bon with medallion in Roman
gold, indicates the winner of the
first prize in each class; the red
ribbon with the medallion in rose
gold, the winner Of the second
prize; the white ribbon with the
silver medallion, the winner of
the third prize; and the yellow
ribbon with the medallion having
bronze finish, the winners Of
all other prizes.
While intrinsic value has moth
ing to do with what the badge
stands for shown by the
Victoria Cross the badges Of
the Congress are handsome
enough in design and finish TO
be worn with pride for their
beauty alone as well as for the
high honor which they repre-
sent
