Bloomington Booze
Leads to Mad Riot

Leaders of Rioters Got Drunk at
Bloomington During Celebration

On the night of September 8, Labor
Day, 1,500 street car strike sympathiz-
ors wrecked four street cars and at
tackled the headquarters OF the rail
Nay company in. Springheld.l 1t is
claimed by the authorities that liquor
procured at Bloomington, where the
rioters had participated in a Labor
Day celebration, was responsible for
the trouble.
The general manager Of the street
EAR company is quoted as saying that
many OF the leaders of the mob were
under the influence OF liquor obtained
1t Bloomington. Similar statement,
we're made in press dispatches to the
hicago papers.
Springfield is still paying for the
lamage done during a booze-caused
riot a number of years ago while the

booze joints of wet Bloomington.

Waukegan Vets
May Not Fight

In speaking OF the law prohibiting
the manufacture of whisky, ex-saloon-
keepers OF Waukegan said, ut will
probably result in a decision ON the
part of local former saloonkeepers
not to stage a wet and dry election
this spring, although, of course, the
higher price of whisky would only
result in higher prices for the con-
sumer and little less profit for the
dealer" Because of the greatly in
creased wholesale prices that will be
demanded for whisky, many saloons
will be compelled to go out OF busi-
ness in wet territory.
When this is considered in connec-
ton with the possibility of war Pro-
hibition and the probability of ma
tional Prohibition by constitutional
amendment in the not distant future,
the wet forces throughout the state
may hesitate before commencing
campaigns to regain lost territory.

Payroll Robbers
Meet in Saloons

Chicago saloons received much dis
honorable mention in connection with
the latest sensational payroll rob-
berry. Two men were murdered when
five Chicago bandits seized over
$4,000 being taken to the Winslow
Brothers plant at 1900 West Harri-
son street. Later, one of the ban
dts shot and wounded three police
men while they were attempting to
capture him.
When Edward Wheed, leader OF
the robber band, and others, told of
the moves leading to the robbery
and murder, they mentioned various
saloons as the meeting places where
their criminal plans were made.
After the capture of Wheed for the
Winslow Brothers robbery, F. Emory
Lyon, superintendent of the Central
Howard Association, said: 'I remem-
Der Wheed, He blamed his down
fall on drink and evil companions"

Quincy Saloon
Loses License
Mayor Determined to Enforce Sunday
Closing Law

The saloon license Of L. NJ. Bowen
was revoked by Mayor Thompson
at recent meeting of the Quincy
council. The action was confirmed by
the council by vote of 10 to 2, one
alderman not voting and another be-
ing absent
Chief Melton at once went to the
saloon and closed the DOORS The ac-
ton was taken because Of alleged vio-
lation of the Sunday closing laws.
Previous to the revocation of his
license, Bowen was tried for violation
of the Sunday closing law in the po-
lice court and was acquitted by jury
His attorney was present at the coun-
Gil meeting and argued that because
he was acquitted in the police court
Bowen's lie, Sc should not be re-
voked. The council, however, decided
that the police court trial had no bear
ing on the matter so far as the law
was concerned.
Mayor Thompson said that he was
not opposed to saloons, but that he
did favor law enforcement and that he
proposed to make everyone obey the
law.

Neuer Again

The wish and prayer of hundreds
of thousands of wives and mothers Is
that the government will never allow
more whisky to be made. war or no
war. And if the whisky drinkers can
be made to see that they can get
along without 1t, there will be little
demand for the resumption of the
industry which has never done more
than to spread misery over the land.

pigs. Two OF the places were being
conducted as clubs and the other was

Several months ago the Kane

that blind pigs prefer to operate in

to fill their warehouses before the
time limit set in the food bill. The
grain dealers seem to agree that the
discrimination OF this local demand
will not destroy high corn prices
Distillers Predict Cheap Corn
When Congress was considering
the law which has now gone into et-
feet, distillery interests produced fig
ures to show that less than one-third
OF one per cent OF the nations annual
corn crop had been going into the
manufacture OF whisky. The distillerS
are still sticking to their estimate,
and claim that the cause OF food con-
seryation will gain nothing by the new
law.
At the same time, they are predict
ing that next year there will be much
complaint on the part of farmers who
they say will receive only 50 cents
bushel for next years crop. No eX-
planation is made OF how a difference
OF one-third of one per cent in the
demand can cause a change in price
from s. TO 50 cents
The distilers' predictions of disas-
ter to the corn market will prove as
false as their familiar prophecies 10
the effect that industry would be
paralyzed and great suffering brought
upon labor by closing down the dis
tileries.

With if&1ending nstion9i Prel,ib;tie,s
and the great improvements which
will come with the temporary closing
down of distilleries, both labor and
capital will hesitate before again en-
gaging in whisky manufacture
Robert D. Clarke, president OF the
Clarke Bros. Distillery, and one of
the recognized heads OF the liquor in
terests of the country, declares that
the distilleries will not reopen for the
manufacture of whisky as a beverage.
This, he says, is regardless OF the ex-
tent of the war on the threatened ap-
proach OF national Prohibition
The Peoria Star in closing its ac-
count of the effect of whisky Prohi-
bition upon local industries, says:
"The general opinion, however, is
that today marks the final production
of beverage goods in Peoria"

my judgment the important matters
for nation going into war are these:
First Of all. the Statesmen and the
people should have a true conception
OF the nature Of war and OF the char
acter OF the particular war tney are
taking up. Otherwise the leading
cannot be right. The supreme lead

democratic country the people must
understand and sympathlze with the
statesman. II he sees too far ahead
they wont follow and n the popular
ideas on the subject OF war are not

In the military sphere the first
thing is the choice Of commander
and his assistants. When raising
an army the vital matter Is the choice
and education Of the officers. In the
training Of troops all soldiers will
say the thing to aim at is discipline
and the best means Of giving 1t. pro-
viding the officers have been well
chosen and rightly taught. is to teach
the soldiers to shoot and to march.

them was the same. He then re.
viewed his own campaigns and con.
