Dry Rockford to Exceed Wet Springfield
in Population

If saloons contribute to the growth Of city,
Springfield capital city, ought to show decided
increase in population each year, because Springfield
has than its share of grogshops, and it. the
vets contend the absence of saloons means a dead
town. Rockford ought to show evidences Of
decay, for Rockford is entering upon its third dry
year. But this theory has gone wrong, at least in
the case of Rockford and Springfield. Every indca-
ton shows that Springfield will rank under
Rockford in population if it does not do
The Rockford Star of recent date gives the follow
ing figures:
Springfield, with total of 0,47o children
in its public parochia and private Schools
claims population of $1,000 Rockford
with a total of II, E4S in the public, parochial
and private schools, estimates the popula-
ton at $4,000. Either Springfield uses too
high ratio or the Rockford ratio is too low
The capital city claims gain of 3483 in
population in the past three years. The
census department recently accredited Rock
ford with a gain in population of approx
mately 1000 within the period
Taking any horn of the dilemma it will
be seen that we have more children in the
schools than Springfield, and taking the
ratio used by that city, we have passed it in
population and growing rapidly.
At the rate of growth Springfield
will have $4,000 population when the next
census is taken, and Rockford $4,000. AS
Our growth is faster, the figures for this city
will be considerably augmented

Alcohol's Double Role In Detectives
Crimes.


Last week, all Chicago was shocked by the muir
der of little four-year-od girl committed at the
hands of defective who under the influence Of
alcohol. The murderer in his confession, reported
by the Chicago Examiner said:
I killed her. I was crazy with drink did not
know what doing. Yes killed the little girl you
I had been drinking I going from saloon to
saloon along w Madison I got pretty crazy.
Then I this little girl standing in front of candy

I dropped couple of pennies in her hands and
told her would give her some more if she would come

girl by the hand. crazy did not know where
going.
This man is known by his associates as a mental
defective. 1t has been reported that he epeptc.
Within the last few months there have been several
brutal murders committed in Chicago by known
to be Eccentric" men with mental faculties of chill
dren, and as result Chief of Police Kleason has is
sued general order for the of these unfortu
nate halfwts. In most instances the murders have
been committed by men under the influence of liquor.
Here the double role that alcohol is playing in
causing these crimes. 1t is well known fact that the
biggest contributing agency for the cause of epilepsy
and degeneracy is alcohol. We quote from state
ment made by DR.. Vaclay H. Podstata several years
ago when superintendent of the North Illinois Hos
pita1 for the Insane Elgin, III. He said:
There today in this fair of Illinois about
5000 epieptics. More than one-ha of them chill

FOR 20 MORE
PEACE TREATIES
President Notifies Senate He
Wishes to Have Them Ratified.
BRYAN EXPLAINS THE REASON
In Most OF Present Agreements There
Are Exceptions That Do Not
Prevent Recourse To
Arms.

Washington, D. C.-President Will
son, through Secretary Bryan, has noti-
fed the Senate Foreign Relations Com
mittee he wishes to press for ratifica-
ton before adjournment of this ses-
sion of Congress the new peace treaties
signed with 20 foreign powers.
The Presidents plan was commune
Gated in a statement to members Of
the committee by Secretary Bryan.
Copies will be sent to every Senator
when the treaties are submitted for
ratification this week.
In his statement Secretary Bryan set
forth. the following analysis of the gen.
eral purposes of the treaties: n
THAT investigation shall be resorted
to in all cases where the ordinary re-
sources of diplomacy fail.
That the contracting parties reserve
the right to act Independently on the
subject matter after the submission of
the report
That there shall be no appeal to
force until the investigation Is com
pleted.
THAT the commission Tin each CASEY
be composed of FIVE members, one
chosen from each country from among
its own citizens, one chosen by each
country from another country, and the
fifth to be chosen by agreement of the
two countries from some third country.
In few cases provision is made for
the appointment of the fifth member
by the four members or by some
neutral power or tribunal in case the
two countries cannot agree"
Discussing the proposed treaties,
Secretary Bryan said:
"In most Of our treaties there are
certain exceptions and in most of these
treaties the exceptions are: The vital
interests, the independence and honor
of the two countries and the interests
of third parties 1t is evident that
these arbitration treaties do not pre-
vent recourse to hostilities with regard
to the causes included in the excep-
ton clause. 1t is the intention that
the treaties now being exchanged shall
close this gap and leave no cause for
a declaration of war and the beginning
Of hostilities until there has been an
investigation of the differences. 1t is
believed an investigation will not only
give time for the subsidence of passion
and the restoration Of calm and de-
liberate judgment, but that it will also
be useful in separating questions of
fact and questions of honor"
Treaties already have been signed
with Salvador, Guatemala, Panama,
Honduras, Nicaragua. the Netherlands,
Bolivia, Portugal. Persia, Denmark,
Switzerland. Costa RIGA, Dominican
Republic. Venezuela, Italy. Norway and
Peru.
