for Illinois, This particular copy dated April s,
1913 and under headlines the first page and
in the first column find report made by the con-
gressional committee of liquor Dealers Hugh F. Har-
vey chairman This report is dated January 81 1913.
1t proves that the committee were pretty good
prophets They expected the enactment of the Webb
bill into law and they got what they expected If the
rest of their prophesies prove to be true namely;
that 'the enactment of the Jones' Works bill spells
the end of the lawful manufacture sale and consump-
ton of Intoxicating liquors in this great glorious,
supposed-to-be-free country, of which
proud the good people of this country will be salts
fed 1t will be noted that this committee confesses
that they literally jumping hurdles We call upon
the enemy of the saloon to keep them the jump.
One honest confession, at least implied, is found in
this report to which we wish to call attention especi-
ally. 1t is this sentence, GLOW many do you
think account of environments in dry communities
could afford to publicly go into court and proclaim
the ownership and intention of using gallons of
whisky" If this means anything, it means that this
honorable committee of liquor dealers acknowledges
that there is something disreputabe about the whisky
drinking habit. That man couldn't afford to
fess for the sake of his reputation that his de-
Hberate intention to drink two gallons of whisky.
Well, here is their report in part. 1t is good reading.
Remember that it made January Fl, 1913 be-
