Wet Press Agents Busy

Certain sections of Illinois beginning already
to reap the whirlwnd result of their decision

lead to story citing alleged bankrupt city after
another in Illinois, gone dry and broke.
This is a favorite press agent stunt of the vets
and should fool nobody
Among the cities mentioned we find Galesburg.
Where" says the Times the police force will have
to be cut down because of lack Of funds" The men
ton of Galesburg police reminds that there
least two policemen Out Of job in that city which
went dry by such an overwhelming majority of both
men and women. Some four months after that city
went wet in 1912 the saloonkeepers themselves made
request to the city authorities, which request
granted that two policemen be detailed watch the
saloons in order to compel the saloonkeepers obey
the law with reference to selling liquor to drunkards
and minors These policemen paid their salaries
by the city With the saloons closed there of course
viii be no need for these two special police
IS it possible that the wet press agent had these
two men in mind when he said that Galesburg police
force would be diminished with the passing of the
saloon?

A Chance for Chlvalry

Our cartoon this week emphasizes the fact that
the will not be permitted to in the legs-
lative primary and elections In the September
primaries and the November elections the woman
suffrage law will be of the great issues. A num-
Der of our friends the expressing surprise
when informed that the women cannot vote at the
primaries and elections to defend the law which gave
them the ballot in the April elections In order to
protect this law good legislators must be chosen The
present Womans suffrage measure not secured
through amendment to the state constitution and
does not give the right to vote for officers
mentioned in the constitution of the state. A egs1a-
tors offices under this head Therefore women
not vote for representatives and until
constitutional amendment is secured The question
has been asked why the womans suffrage law was
passed in that form? The is that it takes
and referendum vote by majority of the people
of the state to pass constitutional amendment The
United Societies would have defeated such vote
that i'll the last legislature This organization is
planning to get control Of the next Legislature. If
they do the first act will be repeal the Womans suf
frage law which be done by majority vote of
both branches Of the legislature
This condition affords the manhood of the state
chance to exercise chivalry in License of wonens
right to the ballot Had the of the state voted
for the Saloons the United Societies would be favor
able to that law, but inasmuch q per cent Of
the voting throughout the entire state voted
against the saloons, the liquor people not will
ing to let the women have the ballot if they deprive
them of it.
The good men of the state of Illinois must bear
i'll mind this fact and it that the male voters &C
the primaries and elections and that they put
out of control in this state that corrupt organization
which calls itself the United Societies. The women
Of the state must also keep this fact in mind and
give their assistance this time with work and influence
never before. They have the opportunity Of their
lives to weaken the power Of the United Societies and
