SENDS TRANSCRIPT
TO BREWER BUSCH
Maker Ought to Know That Sa-
looms Violate Law.

East st. Louis. Dec. s.--Judge X.
NJ lands, of Chicago. sitting in the
Federal District Court here, sum
moned Mayor Mollman and Chief of
Police Payne before him and told
them to enforce the Sunday closing
law against saloons.
Virtually every East st. Louis
case that have tried here in the
last ten days" said Judge lands to
the Mayor anS to the chief Of police,
has been Matched in SOME lawiess
saloon in the city. Don't you know
that II Is the law to close these sa-
looms on Sunday"
The Mayor and the police chief
nodded affirmatively.
Judge lands turned to group of
women and children, relatives of men
about to be sentenced, and said;
do you see these women and
babies? Thy are here rs the result
of your lawlcss saloons. why' don't
you close them up?"
We are just following a CUSTOM"
said the Mayor.
Custom nothing" replied Judge
lands. The law requires you to
close them up, and IL you don't do IL
you violate the law yourself"
Judge lands issued subpoenas for
the members Of the Police Board.
When Judge lands was told that
the Anheuser- Busch Company con-
trolls thirty-two saloons In East ST
Louis he said:
Il see that August A Busch made
a public statement bemoaning the
fact that lawless saloonkeepers have
been responsible for anti-saloon SEN
timent
Here are thirty-two saloons con-
fessedly managed by Mr.. Busch's
company and they have been stead
lastly breaking the law for at least
ten years.
Turning to the clerk. the Judge
said:
Il want you to make a transcript
of the cases l have tried in this court
and send 1t by special delivery to Mr..
Busch. ] think II will do him good -
Judge lands asked Chief OF Po-
lice Payne why he had permitted
violations of the Sunday closing law.
Don't you know 90 per cent Of the
crime in East st. Louis can be traced
to lawless saloons?" asked the Judge.
Il guess that's right" replied the
police chief
Many cases Of violations OF the
Federal internal revenue laws regard
ing the sale of liquor have been be-

MUST HAVE LICENSE.
TO SELL MEDICINES

The State Board of Pharmacy, In
its December issue of it's monthly bull
letin. the Virginia Pharmacist, prints
a list of patent medicines, which the
Federal laws place under the head OF
liquors on account of their alcoholic
properties. There are about ESQ
names In the list Under the laws of
the government all persons selling
these preparations must have license
to sell alcoholic liquids. The govern
ment has made analysis of the medi-
cines and have found them to be
nothing more or less than wlhskey
The druggists of the State should be
guided by this list. and save them
selves great deal of trouble
1t Is not known whether these So
called medicines will be barred from
being advertised in the State. The
prohibition law prevents the adver-
Using Of liquors, and since the Fed
eral government classes these liquids
as alcoholic they may be excluded. II

attorney-general would be required to

1920.

The prohibition question should not
be an issue between dominant political
parties in 1920. 1t should be an issue
between every political party and or
ganized corruption
The liquor interests have no right to
expect anything from the Republican,
Democratic, Progressive, Socialist or
Prohibition parties.
True. when Frances willard went
to the convention OF one Of the great
parties in 1884 they covered her tenn
perance petition with tobacco-spit.
This great party also bears upon its
record the blot of the Raster" reso-
luton.
True. another great party has been
responsible for sundry wicked and
foolish statements about "sumptuory
laws"
But prohibitionists do not believe
that the demand Of millions of Repub-
licAns for recognition Of tho prohibit
ton issue will again be met with con-
tempt. 1t must not be.
Millions OF Democrats will meet any
false cry OF "States' rights in 1920
with bitter Indignation. II the Dem
ocrAtic party OF 1920 wishes to pro-
claim States rights' a. a remedy for
the liquor traffic they must favor tho

Prohibitionists do not want one OF

bio or an evasion. will step out OF the
path into the wilderness,

Try This to Danish
All Rheumatic Pains

People who have been tormented
for years-yes. even so crippled that
they were unable to help themselves
have been brought back to robust
health through the mighty power of
Rheuma.
Rheuma acts with speed; it brings
in few days the relief you have
prayed for. 1t antagonizes the pols-
ons that cause agony and pain in the
joints and muscles and quickly the
torturlng soreness completely dlsap-
pears.
1t is a harmless remedy, but sure
and certain, because 1t Is one discoy-
cry that has forced rheumatism and
sciatica to yield and disappear.
Try a 50-cent bottle Of Rheuma,
and II you do not get the joyful relief
you expect. your money will be re-
turned. Wells-Haymaker always has
supply Of Rheuma and guarantees
1t to you.-Adyertisement.

Commerce Bodies DenounCe
Administration Acts as Det-
riment to Business.

WASHINGTON, Oct 10-That
President Wilson has emancipated
business from the trusts is one OF
the principal campaign claims of the
Democrats.
Business has been unshackled, ac-
cording to the president, by reducing
the tariff protection of the trusts. b.
liberating credit through the medium
of the federal reserve system, and
by Graduating unfair competition
through the medius OF the Clayton
law and federal trade commission.
Strangely enough. however. the av-
erage business men of the country are
not exhibiting the gratitude OF
emancipated commercial serfs. In
thousands of letters to government
bureaus and in hundreds Of resolu-
tions great commercial organizations
have denounced the acts of the adj
ministration as a detriment instead
of a boon to business.
Trusts Have Thrived.
Business men assert that the re-
duction of the tariff has not clipped
the power of the trusts, which, on
the contrary, were the only concerns
that did not suffer materially from
the hard times" that followed the
enactment of the Underwood law.
They point TO the Democratic re-
verses in the 1914 elections as in
dicatiye Of the verdict of business, as
well Of labor, that the Wilson admin

The remaining fifteen antitrust
cases started by the administration
are pending. Most OF the others are
pending on appeal by one party or
the other the department Of justice
having suffered defeat in the lower
court in the majority of tn eimport-
ant cases. Among them are the
American Can Company, the Quaker
Oats Company. and the Lehigh VAL
ley Railroad Company.
In prosecuting suits instituted un.
der the Taft administration and
pending when Mr.. Wilson took office
the department of justice has been
more fortunate. 1t has won sixteen,
including several against coal-carry-
ing railroads, and the civil suit
against the National Cash Register
Company. 1t has lost two, including
the criminal suit against the cash
register officers.
Just how the people have benefited

The divorce Of the Western Union
