is a well known fact:
"The Republican wiseacres all say

Dear Srs AT your request | very glad to
loon the community.
his city is and has been ant-saoon territory for
several years past and hope will continue to be.
In 1905 the city received $I725o in taxes and
$4,000 saloon licenses making total of $2o,25o and
the city between $1,000 and $4,000 debt all the
time.
In 1913 the city received $24ooo,5o in taxes, and
revenue from the saloon, and the city now has in
its treasury $o,342 surplus besides about $500
park fund making total of about $I4y842 on hand.
The city has about and one-half miles of
paved streets and much to be done in the spring
Also the city has thrtyive miles of concrete side
walks and still ordinanced
The city spent $4,000 for city improvements last
year and will spend more than that this year
The moral tone of the city is very good.

Salem, ILL.,, March 3D. 1914
The Executive Committee Anti-Saloon League
Chester, Illinois.
Gentlemen: That Salem is an up-to-date pro-
gresslve little city, may be doubted by those who knew
her when she was cursed by saloons, but people who
have seen her since she is without saloons will tell
you of her miles of paved streets, granoid sidewalks
Waterworks SYSTEM ornamental street lighting street
names, house numbers and host of minor things in
dcating healthy and prosperous community.
All OF these things came only after the saloon was
driven out Salem knows what it is to have saloons
and knows she is better off without them I can not
conceive of conditions which would prompt our citi-
zens to consider having saloons again Men voters
drove them out and men and voters will keep
them out Salem business men know that from bust
ness standpoint the city is injured by the presence of
saloons. Very truly yours

other. From my point of view it certainly pays to
have dry town, and the drier the better.
