five saloons were reported open, as
against 152 on August 5 and 9S on
July %.
The greatest number of violations
was found in Cicero, where deputy
sheriffs discovered 50 saloons open.
Lyons followed with nine and Justice
Park with seven. Other violations
were divided among eight towns and
villages in the northwestern and
southwestern portions of the county.
Sheriff Traeger's report was sent to
the States Attorneys Office, where
Assistant States Attorney Charles
Center Case, Jr., declared that grand
jury action will be taken against off
cials who fail to enforce the law.
Licenses of 90 Cicero saloon-keep-
ers who have persistently violated the
Sunday closing law were revoked last
evening by the Board of Trustees of
Cicero township to take effect at once.

Sunday Saloons to Re
Closed After Sept. |
Rumored That Mayor of Peoria Will
Soon Enforce Closing Law

An article in the Peoria Star, wet
newspaper, indicates that the Mayor
of Peoria will soon put stop to open
saloons on Sundays in that city.
Many months ago the Mayor an
nounced that he intended to enforce
obedience to the law, sometime. Re-
Gently many petitions were sent to
the Governor requesting action
against lawless liquor selling. Doubt
less these petitions had some inhu-
ence in the Mayors decision, if he
has made one, to set date for in
augurating the Sunday lid. However,
the following from the Star ascribes
a different motive.
In all human likelihood the saloon
men of Peoria will be informed in
the near future that the date for Sun
day closing in Peoria will be effective
some time after September l. This
is the rumor floating about the city
hall and which is believed to be pretty
we'll authenticated.
When Mayor Woodruff announced
that he intended to close the saloons
of Peoria on Sunday, he also an
nounced that the men who have their
money invested in the business would
be given a chance to adjust them
selves to the changed condition of
affairs. The Mayor recognized that
he was confronted with condition
and not theory, and told the people
frankly that he did not intend to take
the position of causing the men who
had their money invested to lose it.
Some of the saloonkeepers OF Peoria
have their all invested in their bust
ness, and to have summarily closed
them on Sunday would have caused
them serious loss. This was the
The American issue. [volume] (Westerville, Ohio) 1912-19??, 1917-08-17

reason for the announcement and for
the fact that the Mayor gave these
men time to get out from under. The
number of saloons in Peoria will also
be diminished and this is being done
gradually.
His Original Program
This explanation is offered at this
time because of the sudden activity
OF the band of reformers who have
kept Peoria in the limelight and who
have grown famous by their lies about
it, The resumation of their efforts
means nothing to the Mayor, because
he will not be forced out OF his posi-
ton by this little band of fanatics,
who still reflect the genius and the eff
forts of Rev. c. G.. Clarke.
The Mayor, however, has not devi-
ated from his original program, nor
from the reasons he had for making
the statement he did. He still ad-
heres to it, and in accordance with its
provisions the saloonkeepers of
Peoria will soon be notified that the
Sunday closing order will go into eff
feet soon after September |.

Cook County Liquor Dealers Close

After defying the authorities for

for the Sunday closing law. The
present situation is summed up by
the Chicago Herald as follows,

me discussion OF the proposed ma
tional Prohibition amendment brought
forth some of the finest anti-saloon
speeches made in all the long fight
against the liquor traffic. In giving
their reasons for supporting the reso-
luton to submit the question OF ma
tional Prohibition to the states, many
OF the Senators spoke with an earnest
ness and eloquence seldom surpassed
in Congress. These addresses. made
just before the Senate by a vote of
65 to 20 marked the beginning of the
end OF the liquor evil in America, will
become historic.
Space does not permit the publica-
tion at this time of more than brief
summary of all the worthy orations
made. The following parts OF ad-
dresses are chosen because of their
extraordinary power or particular in
terest in connection with the coming
campaign to secure ratification by the
states.
ss,enafoi .SiferHafs of tiifinf5iss gave
one of the most stirring appeals made
in the course of the entire discussion.
Newspaper reports say that his
speech was one such as is seldom
heard in the Senate. The Illinois
Senator said in part
Drunkenness is the
monarch of all human vices.
Other evils are its mere satellites.
1t permeatcs and poisons and rots
every department Of life and
every avenue and faculty of the
human body. Once in a distant
age Intoxicating liquor was the
supposed instrument of fellowship
and good cheer. 1t is now the
debasing and adulterated instru-
ment for the exploitation for
profit and the promotion of per-
sonal vices. 1t has grown to
astounding proportions. The
longer it continues the greater its
evil and the more potent its
strength. 1t has entrenched itself
with human avarice and become
its ally to exploit the pitiable
weakness OF humanity to accu-
mulate fortunes. The men who
have made it their instrument of
pecuniary gain have assumed to
control political parties, to threat
en- candidates, to decide elections,
to administer civil government, to
make new laws, to promote profit
able evils and contemptuously to
break existing laws they cannot
repeal.
A business whose system is law
lessness and whose finished pro-
duct is drunkard ought to have
no lawful abiding place in this
Republic. 1t is an outlaw meas
ured by its practices and a Grim
inal tested by its results. A busi-
ness that will not be regulated by
law must at last be destroyed by
law. The traffic in Intoxicating
liquor has refused to be regulated,
and therefore earned the penalty
of legislative extinction. :.

What Is Efficiency


Whatever our definition of eff
cheney may be, perhaps we would
agree that for our present purposes it
depends upon:
|. The inherent vital force-or
kinetic drive OF mankind;
2. An adequate ideal;
3. A considerable activity OF the
higher mental faculties; attention, OBJ
servation, reflection, comprehension
and judgment For some kinds OF ef-
iciency we must add quick reaction.
That is, given a certain stimulus
something seen, heard or felt. the re-
sponse, the resulting action, must be
quick and accurate; whether this ac-
ton be physical or mental.
Excluding for the moment No. /
the impulse to do-Nos. ard are
more or less complex forms of men
tai activity.
The question. then, which we are
to ask and answer is, "What is the ef-
feet of alcohol on the mind,-or upon
these forms of mental activity? The
thing can be approached in hundred
ways; the answer is the same. Just
a point or two. S alcohol a mental
stimuant? As we have heard, it is
not. 1t never is. Then how explain
the increased Vivacity of motion, ac-
ton and speech, up to the appearance
of brilliancy produced by "moder-
ate" dose of liquor?
The Moderate Drinker
Who would question that he has
taken stimulant when he experiences
these effects on himself, with a feeling
Of warmth and well-being, strength
and exhilaration of his whole system?
But a critical study of the causes OF
these effects shows that they are not
the result OF true stimulation of the
nerve centers. 1t can be demon
strated that, in its effect on the central
nervous system, alcohol is a depres-
SAINT from the very beginning. That
even a small dose slows the speed and
lessons the accuracy of thought has
been proved over and over again; and
yet the person experimental upon

performed the act more quickly and

cording to the law of dissolution,

Doctrine OF Force Must

War Ends
Complete Victory Over Ger
many Only Safe Way Says
President

Washington, Oct 8.-An extensive
movement to lead and express public
opinion on the war was inaugurated
here today by formation Of the Lea
que for National Unity, representing
church, political, labor, agricultural
and industrial organizations, to
which President Wilson gave his in
dorsement in an address emphasizing
the need for team play by the forces
of American thought and opinion.
Welcoming the leaders of the move
ment at the White House in a brief
speech, the President expressed the
belief that American public opinion,
although understanding the wars
causes and principles, needs guidance
to remember that the war should end
only when Germany is beaten and
Germans rule Of autocracy and might
are suppressed by the ideals of demo-
cracy.
This is the issue which the Ameri
can people should always keep in
mind, the President said, in order to
avoid being misled into byways of
thought and of the resultant scatter
ing of the force of public opinion.
Talk of early peace before Germany
is defeated is one of the evidences of
misdirected thought, he suggested,
and should not cloud the vision of
those who understand that the United
States is fighting now for the same
ideals of democracy and freedom
that have always actuated the nation.

Boys In The Army Buy
Liberty Bonds

Atlanta, Ga, Oct. 8.-(SpeciaD-
The Atlanta zone committee, under
the leadership of Chairman C. B.
Howard, has carried the Liberty
Loan Bond campaign right into the
army itself.
A dozen speakers visited Camp
Gordon, 1 / miles from Atlanta, max
ing short speeches to groups of the
nearly 10000 soldiers now quartered
there, and urging each of them to
purchase bond of small denomina-
ton on the installment plan.
The speakers were given an enthu-
siastic reception by the soldiers, and
indicated their purpose to subscribe
literally to the bond issue as plan
for saving money Each private gets
$50 month and can we'll afford to
purchase a $50 or even a 500 bond
OF, the monthly payment plan.
If each Of the 10000 men at
Camp Gordon should average a $50
bond, it would mean S1,000,000 at
this camp alone. If the entire ma
tional army of million men, should
make the same average, it would
mean $50,000,00O in subscriptions.
There are eight cantonments or
camps in the sixth federal reserve
district, and active preparations are
being made to carry the liberty bond
campaign into every one of them. 1t
is thought there is scarcely doubt
that almost every soldier will take
a bond when shown what it will mean
to him in the matter of saving money
against the day when he will be dis
charged from the army.
The treasury department in Wash
ington notified Governor McCord of
the Federal Reserve Bank here today
that it had already begun shipping
the new four per cent coupon bonds
of the Second Liberty Loan issue.
The first bonds will go west, and
within a few days an allotment will
be received by the sixth district bank
here. These will be in denominations
of $50, $100, $500 and $1,000. These
bonds will be sold to incorporated
banks and trust companies for re-
sale to private purchasers.
The treasury department is work
ing to the end of having these partic-
ular bonds on sale through leading
banks and trust companies through
out the district by October 10th. OF
these particular bonds, the amount
sold to anyone purchaser will be lin
tied to $1,000. These bonds are not
subject to the income tax.

Americas Response and
Future Influence

Harris, Pa, Oct. 8.-Secretary Ba-
ker, addressing the annual meeting
of the Harrisburg Chamber of Com
merce tonight, declared that the man
ner in which the business men of the
country had gathered to the support
OF the national government in its su-
preme emergency of war was making
"a stronger nation, a greater demo-
cracy and greater hope for man
kind" The secretary said that he
wanted the business men to know that
he was proud to pay the tribute and
that as a result the nation would be-
come wonderful world factor for
peace after the war
! believe that under the example
of America we will be able to make
such arrangements that war will give
place to the virtues of peace for
many years to come," said the secre-
tary. He praised Congress for crea-
tion Of the Council of National De-
fense, which he said had prepared the
country's resources, and said that
when the fateful hour struck the busi-
ness men, voluntarily and in mass,
assembled to give their best. This,
he said, had cleared away overnight
existing distrust between business
and government.
The National Guards and the mill
tary resources of the states had form
ed with the regular army and West
Point a nucleus Of fighting force
that will before long number over
100000 men. Reviewing the or
ganization of the national army, Mr..
Baker said that it had been done by a
nation totally unaccustomed to war, !
but which had not only subjected it
self to selective draft, but had di-
verted its industries into many unac-
customed lines of production. even
Germany was never able to do this"
he declared.
