no warrant for the assumption that |
a great principal that makes for veal
or woe in the home or body polite
should be eliminated from political
discussion. The issue will never be
settled until it is settled right.
There has been an honest doubt |
in the minds Of many good citizens |
whether so large city as Rockford |
could get along without the revenue
from the licensed saloon and whether
the withdrawal of business of those
who would trade elsewhere would
not cause a loss to our merchants
and to the city Of large sums OF mon
ey. The experience that has come to
city that has seen both sides OF
this question, has, l believe demon
strated to the majority the wisdom
of the present plan of control.
Prosperity Follows Prohibition
every hand bank deposits larger by
nearly a million dollars on january,
1913. than they were on the CORE
spending date in 1912, bank clear
ings greater by a larger percentage
than in any other city in the state OF
Illinois, postoffice receipts more than
ever before, more cash business N
our stores and places of business,
collections better. everyone at work
at increased wages, no idle houses
and but few ilde store rooms, with
ninety-three arrests for drunkenness
where Iiquor was Obtainable in Rock
ford, from May Z. 1912, to Jan. /,
1913. compared with So arrests for
drunkenness from May Z, 1913, to
Jan. 1 1912, when the saloons were
licensed, and with our tax rate this
spring lower than any city IN the
state of Illinois in our class, l am led
to the positive conclusion that it is
not only good morals, but good bust
ness that the policy of dry territory
for the township Of Rockford should
be maintained.
City's Proudest Boast
To me the proudest boast this
is the fact that she occupies position
in the state in which she has no COM
petitor-that here there is no SUCH
thing as segregated vice or recog-
nized red-light district-that this city
is demonstrating to the country her
ability not only 10 pay all fixed charg-
es consequent upon running large
municipality without the revenue
from the licensed saloon. but that it
stands fully abreast Of the times IN
all things that are for the public
good

The National Banks.

Last week we published the state
ments of the Carolina National Bank
and the Palmetto National Bank, of
Columbia, the Home National Bank
of Lexington, and the National Bank,
Of Leesville.
The two former are old and reliable
banks of Columbia, and by their state
ments show that they are in excellent
financial shape.
The Home National Bank, of our
town and the National Bank, of Lees
Vile, are strong institutions and show
remarkable growth under the man-
agement of their efficient and acGomo-
dating officers. Both have done much
towards building up their respective
towns and community.
The National banks are under gov
ernment supervision and at the call of
the Comptroller of the Currency make
these statements, besides they are
regularly examined by the govern
ment's expert examiners.
We commend them to your consid-
Grafton.
