aldermen.
The liquor dealers association pri-
vately obtained from the attorney
general an opinion that the city coun-
Gil had a lawful right to license sa-
looms without consulting the people.
Taking advantage of this opinion, two
citizens, willing tools of the liquor
power. started gum shoe" move
ment in 1898 to elect council. This
sneaking plan was to secure men here
tofore identified with the anti-licensc
party as candidates for alderman at
the spring election, pledged to vote
for license. This nefarious scheme
worked. The unsuspecting temper
ancc voters supported the men who
were to betray them.
Thirteen Years of Trench Warfare
At its first meeting, the Council,
over the veto of the Mayor, licensed
four saloons. Then battle lasting
Is years cnsued. ReYering the MEM
DRY of the founder of Carbonate the
leader of the Anti-Saloon forces first
invoked the power of the prohibitory
clause in the original town plat.
An eminent Chicago lawyer offered
to establish the validity of the clause,
but the fec demanded was prohibitory.
Then followed long and relentless
warfare that knew no quarter.
The Numerous Drives"
How the number of wards was in
creased and license mayors were
chosen by fraudulent vote.
How trusted temperance worker
was elected mayor with councilmen
pledged TO order a special election
and ignored prediction promises.
How an cnraged people enforced its
demands and secured victory over the
saloons.
How INSCRIPTIONS lawyers pro-
cured an injunction restraining the
revocation of the saloon licenses.
How the leader of the Anti-Saloon
forces obtained authority from the
City Council to contest, in the name
OF the city, the injunction to the Su-
preme Court, if necessary, at his own
expense
How the subsequent council on the
demand of the saloonists ordered the
dismissal of the suit before a decision
was reached.
How the City Council was sued for
breach OF contract, and judgment OBJ
tanned against the city for money ex-
pended by the temperance leader in
this expensive litigation.
How the foolish" leader, as he was
often called, even by his friends,
finally in October, 1907, closed the
saloons under quo warranto pro-
ceeding, attacking the license ordi-
nances, having obtained assurance
from the City Council that it would
not pass another license ordinance If
the Circuit Court declared the one
existing invalid-all these require too
long story for the allotted space.
Gone But Not Forgotten
The saloons were never to open
again in Carbonate, their owners
aided by brewers and distillers, held
their leases four years hoping the peo-
pie would return to saloon license.
Alter contesting the first local OBJ
ton election in 1908 and two suisse
quent elections, they gave up the fight.
and with one exception left the
RUINED" town.

The great need Of the temperance
reform. as it has ever been, IS for men
and women who will fight and never
give up the ship" Men and women,
who, after having done all, will con-
tinue to stand.
Too often, the good people OF a
community, who have stood shoulder
to shoulder in fight to overthrow
the saloon, and have won a glorious
victory, lose the fruits of their VIC
tory by laying down their arms and
leaving the ranks, as soon as ma
jority is registered against the saloon
The victory at the polls is really only
the beginning Of the fight. The liq-
uor traffic is a foe that never ceases
its activity and never rests.
The man who sells liquor by per-
mission of the statute, seldom, if ever,
conducts his business in accordance
with law. and when he finds that his
business is entirely outlawed by an
outraged public at the polls, purposes
in his heart, that he win openly defy
the law by continuing in the business.
He proceeds to make good the threat
always made by the advocates of the
saloon. that the bootlegger will thrive
il the saloon is closed, by opening up
a bootlegging joint himself.
Elect Honest Officials
This is the weapon most frequently
used by the liquorites, namely, that
the dry town breeds bootleggers.'
For this reason, therefore, we say that
the anti-saloon people should not
make the mistake of quitting when
they have registered majority OF the
votes against the saloon at the ballot
box. 1t is generally left to the same
people who have won the victory at
the polls to enforce the law. While
this ought not to be the case, yet we
often find the officers OF the city or
village, who have taken an oath to
enforce its laws, not only countenanc-
ing their violation but even encour-
aging it. Therefore, one of the most
important things to look after when
city is voted dry is to put on a cam
paign at the very erst opportunity to
elect men who will enforce the law.
The officers OF any city, determined
to do their duty, can put the bootleg
gers out of business, if they will.
If the officers, however, are unwill-
ing to enforce the laws the burden
ought TO be taken up by the people
rather than to allow the violators OF
law to pursue their course uninter-

Fifty Years Of War Against the Liquor
Traffic in Carbonate
By Sam T. Brusl,

Carbonate, founded in 1852, was
foreordained to be Prohibition terri
tory. There being no protection
against the filthy groggeries then COM
mon throughout the state, the founder
of the village sold lots only on condi-
ton that the purchaser, his heirs or
assigns, should never sell nor give
away for beverage purposes intoxi-
cants under penalty of forfeiture OF
the lots for the use of the public
schools.
This prohibitory clause written in
, the original town plat was also stipu-
lated in all deeds. Sites were given
churches; spacious lots were reserved
for public schools; and 30 acres were
set apart for college site.
Under the village organization
adopted in 1856, the people elected to
Office staunch temperance men, who,
passing stringent Prohibition ordi-
nances, prescribed heavy penalties for
their violation. Thus the foundation
of a cooperative, refined and progress
sive community seemed assured,
"If You Don't Bother Them
Notwithstanding these safeguards
the liquor traffic boldly defcd the
community by openly selling whisky;
but frequent arrests, vigorous prose-
cutions and heavy fines forced into
bankruptcy the most lawlcss liquor
man, who left in despair the "puritani-
cal town." With the resulting exodus
of the liquor crowd and correspond
ing influx of Prohibitionists, there
was no attempt to elect a license
council until 1912 years after the
founding of the city.
Fighting the Druggists
During the intervening time, how
ever, many exciting election contests
arose between the radicals and lber-
ais touching the enforcement of the
laws against gambling-dens and the
illicit sale of liquor in drug stores.
From 1873 to 1879 the druggists
and their "so-callcd" liberal followers
ruled the city by drug store mayors.
These mayors, themselves law
breakers, dared not prosecute boot
leggers. Drunkenness became COM
mon on the streets. Finally boot
logger shot down in cold blood a
young man whose only offense was
that of being brother to the prose-
cutor of this same bootlegger for con-
spiracy to murder the foremost tenn
peranoc leader as we'll as TO burn his
property.
At last aroused from the stupor in
duced by the drug store regime, the
people got together in 1870 and
elected as mayor an incorporating
Prohibitionist-a Republican, Meth
odist, Sunday school teacher, vet
eran of the Civil War. This militant
man for three successive terms, sup
ported by law abiding citizens, in
Guiding law abiding druggists, en-
forced the laws. One druggist, the
partner OF former mayor, was COM
PEELED to leave town.
The Whisky Devil Never Sleeps
While there never was time in
the history of Carbonate when a
proposition to license the saloons
could be carried at an election proper
ly advertised, the people had to learn
by bitter experience that the whisky
devil never sleeps. Becoming careful
in the selection of their mayors they

house solicitation. urging the conser-
walton of wheat, meat. fats and sugar.
according to a telegram received
from Washington Saturday by Henry
M. Hoyt, food administrator for Ne

Organization of war mothers is
going on in every State in the Union.
the telegram says. to assist during
the week of October Fl to %. They
will 90 from door to door to obtain
signatures to the United States
food administration pledge. Under
the plan, every woman who has a son
in the army, navy or marine corps,
or who has a son enrolled under the
selective service law and subject to
future call is to be enlisted in the
campaign of saving food needed for
the conduct of the war.
In a statement issued to-day, Her.
bert Hoover formally welcomed the
war mothers" as members of the
ranks of food administration workers.
"It is peculiarly fitting" said Food
Administrator Hoover in the state
ment, that the mothers of the men
who are 10 fight the Nations battles
should enlist in this vitality essential
service. They are sending their sons
forth to endure the supreme test of
citizenship. They want their sons to
return to them as soon as the peace
of victory may be achieved. They
will hasten the coming of that peace
by the work they have undertaken.
I'm no war in which the Nation
has engaged has the loyalty, devotion.
and self-sacriice of American women
ever failed. In no other war have
they had a greater opportunity for
service than is offered in the move
ment for conservation of the Nations

mot only does this food admins
tration cordially welcome the "war
mothers" into the ranks of its volun-
teer workers. but an equal welcome
will be extended to the wives and
sisters of our soldiers and all other
loyal women who will enlist for a
service which President Wilson has
said is more essential than any other
which American women a render.

scribed and will be subscribed. But
it would be useless to gather this
money or prosecute the war if we
