Nation No,u Needs
Prohibition Savings

The Anti-Saloon League in peace
has done more than any other organ
ization to prepare the nation for vic
tory in war. In territory made dry
by the League during the past 20
years millions in wealth have been
saved. Efficiency has been increased
on farms and in factories wherever
the saloon has been banished. Thou
sands now able to fight for their
country would be unfit for military
service if the saloons closed by the
League had been permitted to remain
open. In field and factory they will
serve their country best who never
knew the taste of liquor, or whose
craving for it has long ago been cured
by Prohibition. On the firing line
our best soldiers will be the bright
eyed, clear Drained, steady handed
men whose nerves and muscles have
never been rusted and rotted by drink.

Tom Curran, Chicago Saloonkeeper
and Wet Leader, Brings About
Defeat of TuthilIs Bill

When Representative Tuthill's bill,
aiming directly at bootleggers and
blind-pigs and making it a peniten-
tiary offense to sell liquor illegally in
dry territory, came up, Tom Curran
and the other wet leaders took the
floor against it and it met the same
fate as the other dry bills.
1t was the consensus of opinion in
Springfield, voiced in the hotel lob
bies, on the street cars and every
where that the high-handed defeat of
this and all other dry Legislation in
the Illinois House this session has
fastened the day of complete eimi-
nation of the liquor traffic from this
state The liquor steam-roller in the
Illinois Legislature has had its day.
Its doom is sealed.
The bill would not have affected the
legal sale of liquor in the slightest
degree. It's sole aim was to elimi-
nate bootlegging and Other illicit sell
ings in dry territory

gigantic struggle in the history of
wars. -. That temperance has won a
lasting victory'is attested by the large
increase in territory covered by Pro-
hibition laws and in the drastic regu-
lations governing the employment of
men in dangerous occupations, when
individuals may be, and often are, re-
sponsible for the lives of others If
this applies in the operation of rail-
roads and great industrial establish
ments, how much more should it ap-
ply in the cases of the officers and
men called to the colors to uphold
the honor Of the nation and to defend
its material interests"
This from an army officer places
the Prohibition of liquor on its right
foundation, not so much as a meas
ure intended to save the grain of the
country, but as means of protecting
its manhood.

Free Lunch Banned

Three hundred saloonkcepers on
the south side of Chicago have or
ganized to make war on the free lunch
and will ask for city ordinance pro-
hibiting the serving of lunch. This
may be due in part to the high price
of food and beer, but it may also
indicate falling off in the consump-
ton of liquors. 1t has been supposed
commonly that the lunch promoted
some additional indulgence on the
part of patrons, but if those patrons
have taken to eating the lunch and
drinking no more than they would
without it, it is only natural that the
saloonkeepers should rebel. At any
rate it might we'll be abolished along
with the treating evil-Bloomington

bootleggers in earnest.
Last Sunday, 40 the people of North
Chicago were on their way to church,
a notorious resort which was both a
blind pig and disorderly house, was
raided by the police, and Rudolph
Kuberwicz, the proprietor, and Adam
Krenshall and Adam Levanowicz, in
mates, were arrested. This was a part
of vigorous campaign against boot

United Societies
Kill Dance Hall Bill
Cermak's Crowd Fights for Continu-
ance of Privilege to Debauch
Boys and Girls

Bacchus and Belial united to de-
feat the dance hall bill in the Legs
lature last week.
The measure, under the direction of
Senator Barbour, had previously
passed the State Senate. When it
reached the House it was opposed by
the United Societies which controls
large number of public dance halls
in Chicago, in every one of which
liquor is sold.
Mrs. Louise DeKovcn Bowen,
president of the Juvenile Protective
Association of Chicago, the only wo-
man appointed by Governor Lowden
on his Efficiency Board; Mrs. G. NJ.
Mathes, president of the Woman's
Church Federation, backed by the or
CARNATIONS they represent and armed
with petitions and letters from thou
sands of mothers and fathers all Over
the state, had urged the passage OF
the bill in person, but the liquor in
terests turned a deaf ear to all such
pleas and voted solidly against the
measure.
There is absolutely no argument for
the defeat of this bill excepting that
it would deprive the liquor interests
of the profits of the sale of wine, beer
and whisky to boys and girls.
Nothing more clearly shows the to-
tai depravity OF the liquor interests
of Illinois than their defeat Of this

Leaven of New Era
Already at Work
in Dry Danville
Many Red Light Characters Have
Left City

Already the leaven has begun to
work and Danvillc is feeling the thrill
of new life and re-kindling of new
hope. The people are beginning to
realize, in small way, it is true,
what the election of April II meant,
and they are beginning to catch q VII
sion OF what it will mean for Danvillc
during the next two fateful years.
The effect of the dry victory, how
ever, is quite noticeable in some quar-
tiers and it would not require the-gift
of prophecy to enable one to forecast
with reasonable precision the things
that will eventually happen. Already
the red-light district has lost large
number of its well-known characters,
and many, of its resorts have been
permanently closed. Gambling, in
cigar stores by means of slot 4na-
shines and card games HAS teer E;s-
continued and ban has been placed
upon gambling of every character.
The states attorney has started
proceedings under the Swanson law
against property owners who have
been renting buildings for question
able purposes. Where verdict is OBJ
tanned such buildings will be closed
against all occupants for the space Of
one year. Thus punishment may be
inflicted where it really belongs
upon the owner of the property who
has shared in the spoils of vice with
out suffering any of the shame or dis
grace that attaches to the inmates.

Britain Decides to
Take Charge of
All Its Brewers

According to the London Daily EN-
press, the government has taken
definite step in the direction of state
control of the liquor traffic by decid-
ing to assume charge of the brewer
les.
The decision, says the newspaper,
was arrived at during meeting Mon
day at which David Lloyd George,
the prime minister; Viscount Miner
and Arthur Henderson, ministers
without portfolio, and Waldorf Aston,
of parliament, conferred.
Subsequently the brewers associa-
ton was invited to appoint a repre-
sentative TO confer with Viscount Mil
ner, who will be in charge of the con-
troll of the traffic.
