Masonic Lodge Votes
Against Saloonkeepers

The Grand Lodge of Illinois Ma
sons at its annual session in Chicago
on October 10, 1917, passed the fol-
lowing amendment to the supreme
law, governing all Masons in Illinois:
No lodge shall receive petit
ton for the degrees or for affilia-
ton from any person who is en-
gagged in the manufacture or sale
of Intoxicating liquors as bever-
age, either as distiller, brewer,
brewers agent, wholesale liquor
dealer or salesman for such dealer,
saloonkeeper or bartender.
The following proposition was pre-
sented by Z. r. Swanson of Granite
City, ILL.,, at the annual session of the
Grand Lodge of Masons in Chicago,
in October, 1916, which was laid over
one year and came up Cor action on
October 10. 1917. On October 10,
1917, the Grand Lodge laid this
amendment over until October, 1918.
Any Mason who may hereafter
engage in the manufacture or sale
of Intoxicating liquors as bever-
age, either as distiller, brewer,
brewers agent, wholesale liquor
dealer or salesman for such deal
er, saloonkeeper or bartender,
shall be expelled.

Sian, Vampire System
By George McGinnis

The State Federation of Labor in
convention assembled at Joliet, ILL.,,
recently slammed the vampire" sys-
tenn of getting employment through
saloons. Labor is to be commended
for this act. Why should nearly all
labor agencies locate in saloon or
under a saloon or over saloon? Why
should contractors pay off the labor
ers in saloons? Labor is wise in seek
ing to disassociate labor and saloons
The vampire is hideous bat-like
creature of South American countries
which fastens itself on a sleeping per-
son ant while it fans its victims with
its wings, sucks the life blood and
the sleeper wakes UP in the other
world. Vampire system is an appro-
pirate name. Go to it Labor, and
"bawl 'em out to fare you WE'LL"

Chicago Doctor
Visits Seattle and
Comes Back Dry

Evidence of the success Of Prohibi-
ton in the western states continues
to accumulate. DR.. Harriet Alexander
of Chicago, in a recent address re-
ported her observations in Seattle
and stated that what she saw in this
dry city absolutely converted her to
the dry cause. pr. Alexander said:
was previously not a Prohibit
zionist. ! thought men must be made
strong to be strong, but on this visit
to Seattle, which is absolutely bone
dry and where old residents tell me
it is impossible to secure drink, went
to the Boulevard Inn, which is one
of the most fashionable inns With me
were Chicago and Los Angeles peo-
pie, who said, we can get high
ball here The manager of the Inn
said, Nothing of the sort here We
were the only visitors on the veranda
at the Northold Inn, and at different
times, we tried to get high-balls but
were unable to do it, even if they
were willing to pay any price for it.
81 went out with a Summing party,
but they seem to have no slums.
Restaurants do a better business
in Seattle than they do here. The
people eat more since they can't drink.
81 asked several soldiers at the
American Lake Camp in Tacoma if
it were possible for man anywhere
in Tacoma or Seattle to get a drink.
| was told absolutely not.
"There are 100000 men in Camp
Lewis and scarcely case of venereal
disease | walked around the streets
of Tacoma and Seattle after midnight
time and again and did not see sin
gle prostitute.
81 went away, not believing in Pro-
hibition. I came back absolutely a
Prohibitionist.

Work Rather Thar,
Prophesy
(Galesburg Register)

A speaker before one of the Metho-
dist conferences predicts that there
will be national Prohibition before
the close of Is months. This is a
consummation to be devoutly wished,
but it will take lot of work to get it.
Very much will depend on what Con-
gress does. The Senate has already
passed a resolution submitting to the
states constitutional amendment
prohibiting the manufacture and sale
of intoxicants, and the resolution is
now pending before the House and
will, it is presumed, be acted on at
the coming session.
Whether the states in sufficient
numbers adopt the amendment within
Is months is a question, that time
alone can solve. To accomplish this
it is necessary to elect in three quar-.
ters of the state legislatures members
who will vote for the amendment. TIE
first work to be done is with the Leg-
islatures. In every legislative district
of the country there must be nomi-
mated and elected men favorable to
national Prohibition. Congress has
limited the number of years within
which the amendment must be adopt
ed. The situation is one that compels
attention. 1t will not do to wait.
There must be instant and persistent
action. 1t is no slight matter to get
the Legislatures of three-quarters of
the states of the Union to act on this
amendment, and undoubtedly the liq-
uor interests will do all in their power
to check action at every point that the
period of limitation may expire before
the necessary number of states is Sc
cured.
We do not see any other method of
procedure. 1t is quite evident that
the traffic cannot be stopped by mere
resolution of Congress, and that to
make the matter permanent and eff
fective the passage of the constitutions
al amendment is necessary. This is
not going to be done in day. 1t is
best to make ready for a long and
strong determined fight all along the
line.

William ]. Bryan VIII
Speak in Chicago
Nov. 70 and q

The school teachers of Chicago will
be invited to participate in the cam
pagn to make Chicago dry. A mass
meeting of teachers has been arranged
by the Dry Chicago Federation, to
be held in the Third Presbyterian
Church, corner Ogden avenue and
Ashland boulevard, Tuesday, October
80, 8 p. m. Principal Franklin w. John
son of the University High School,
will preside. Mrs. Mary c. c. Brad
ford, Superintendent of Schools, Colo
rado, and president of the National
Educational Association, will be the
principal speaker; the topic being
Teachers and Prohibition"
A group of club women will be
modified for the dry fight in break
fast for thousand women, to be
held in the Hotel LaSalle, Monday,
October %, II m. Mrs Mary c. C.
Bradford will speak at this breakfast,
anu hlSS ildlii iCl v Nltluiii, wi ,. Glid
Stewart and Mrs. Harlan Ward
Cooley will also speak.
The petition is being circulated in
all parts of the city. 1t was found, on
account of war conditions, that it was
unwise to attempt a ten day drive;
so many of the workers had enlisted in
the army that the organization had
to be remo1ded, involving some delay
in the original plans. The wards have
been divided into districts, over which
have been placed more than 400 lead
ers. Under these leaders the precinct
captains and block workers are secur-
ing names on the petition.
Hon. William Jennings Bryan will
donate two days service, November
20 and 21. On the evening of the
10th a mass meeting will be held in
the Medinah Temple, with Mr.. Bryan
as the principal speaker. On the 21st
complimentary luncheon will be
given Mr.. Bryan in the Red Room of
the Hotel LaSalle, and on the evening
of that day, two meetings will be held
in St Jarlath's and Maternity Halls.
Rev. Father John Webster Melody,
DID,, will preside, and Rev. Father
McNamee and Philip Yarrow will rep
resent the Federation on the pro-
gram.
Attacks have been made upon the
Federation and its plans by the liquor
people, who are also circulating ru-
mors concerning the campaign. 1t has
been asserted that any one who signs

Girls Home Crowded

An incident showing how bad con-
ditions have become recently occur
red in this same court room. When
the judge sentenced two young wom-
en- TO home for girls, he was in
formed that there was not room for
any more in this institution.
Not only have mattresses and shop
girls been entrapped by the liquor
selling cabarets, but young people
from wealthy Chicago families also
have fallen into the hands of the po-
lice in these places.
In addition to ministerial associa-
tions, saloonkeepers, reform organiza-
tions and brewers, United States au-
thorities are turning against cabarets
because it is said that they have served
liquor to United States soldiers and
sailors.
License "Bribe" Offered
Cabaret owners are trying to save
the business by offering to pay high
license fees. They claim that this will
eliminate the more vicious places. The
history of the liquor traffic proves,
however, that high license does not
do away with evils connected with the
sale of intoxicants.
The brewers are insisting that cab
arcts must be abolished. The reason
sor their stand is apparent in their
statements that Chicago will go dry
if cabarets remain open. This is an
admission that it is the sale of liquor
which is chiefly responsible for cab
aret evils. In order to save Tie sa-,
iaea .Haiskaees d iasxssk ~ 81. -. ). !
to sacrifice the cabaret which deals
largely in wines and whistles.

EVIL CABARETS BEST
ARGUMENT FOR PROHIBITION
Many Scandals Recently Exposed Blamed to Liquor
and Dancing
MANY ARE ARRESTED
Selling Of Liquor Is Chief Cause of Harm Done
BREWERS FEAR DRY CITY

Since attention has been directed
toward Chicago's cabaret saloons,
they have been given almost unani-
nous condemnation. Even the liquor
dealers say that o5 per cent of their
numbers would support an ordinance
to abolish the cabaret. The other
per cent represents liquor dealers
who are cabaret owners.
In recent issue, the Champion of
Fair Play, official organ of the liquor
traffic in this part of the country
came out with statement to the ef-
feet that cabarets were the cause OF
Springfield going dry, and the further
statement that Chicago will go dry
also if the cabaret evil is not stopped
Warning by Police Chief
Chief OF Police Schuettler is quoted
