are we doing in this great state? Let
opportunity.
You say the father needs the pleas
ure that comes from the exhilarating
drink; but what about the mother,
the children, what about their pleas
ure? That is our problem. | care
not so much for the drunkards, but
do care for their families and off
spring; so | have said by the help of
God | will never lay down until in
some way this infamous thing for
which no good word could be said
shall be wiped out.
Some people think there are two
ways to attack this problem; one from
the standpoint of heredity and one
from that of environment. We have
come to say that all our mental ills,
our feeble-minded people, come from
heredity and bad blood, and some of
the psychologists arc telling us that
and segregate them where they can't
propagate their kind and when they
are dead we will have a good race.
l think there are not two problems,
one heredity and the other environ
ment, because if you do not change
the environment you will continue to
pour the blood of the drunkard and
of the syphilitic into the veins of the
children yet to come, and then there
will be again the same routine. So
l believe it is just the one problem
the environment. Change the en-
vironment. Give every boy and girl
some sort of a chance to live and
breathe the air of his great city. If
we do not we are not doing the work
of good citizens.

there because of indulgence in alco-
hol; / believe alcohol is responsible
for es per cent of the cases of paresis
in the state institutions. l think soon
something will be done, and although
a vote was taken today and the dry
bill was defeated, l am sure it will
come, if not for five or ten years.
Duty of Doctors to Warn Against
Drink
j do not know what the medical
men have 10 do along this line,
but I think their advice ought to be
given to the people. 1t is their duty
not only as doctors but as men in
terested in mankind to give the benc-
fit of their knowledge. I think if the
youth of the city were advised by
the medical men, if they would in
terest themselves just little IN the
boys and girls who drink because
they don't know the effect that drink
has upon them, they could do a great
amount of good. If they would or
ganize into a society and do what
men in politics are doing-trying to
educate the people upon matters
which affect the financial welfare of
the public-if the physicians of the
city, or county, or state, would hold
meetings in the public schools of
Chicago and advise the young men
and girls before they reach the age
of manhood and wonlanhood of the
effects of alcohol, they might be able
to save Is or 20, or perhaps so per
cent of the men and women who
finally spend their days in the House
of Correction or in one Of the state
insane asylums.
Save the Boys and Girls
If physicians will only interest
themselves in the children--don't be
interested in matters which affect
your society alone, but do something
for your country, do sonething-as
of course, you always do in times
when the country needs your aid; If
we need il in the present crisis
know no profession will render
greater assistance than the medical
societies of this country, and no peo-
pie will render more service than the
physicians on the battlefield, but
don't wait for that-we have battle
field in our cities every day and you
don't have to be called to your coun-
try's aid and assistance to save the
country from foreigners, but should
try to save the boys and girls and
women for ourselves and save them
for society, because they are the max
crs- of the future generations of the
country. | invite you men who are
better able than all the Judges, than
all the priests and rabbis, to try to
do something to save the bodies as
we'll as the souls of men, and go to
the schools or some place and give
the youth of the land the benefit of
your experience and tell them the
price they will have to pay unless
they follow the straight and narrow
path

From the Standpoint of
the Municipal Court
By Judge Vim. N. Genmill, Chicago

ny JuQBC WIN. ~. Sc1IlIIlllI, SHlCdSC
In this city 10000 men and women
are arrested every year charged with
drunkenness alone-just think OF
that! Think of that army and the
pleasure it gave that army. | have
had thousands of them before me
over and over again and never in a
single instance have | ever had sin
gle man or woman who, after spend
ing night in a cell or going home
to come back the next morning for
trial, would not with tears in their
eyes and sorrow and weeping i'll
their voice plead, "Le me got, and
will never drink anoher drop" / am
speaking of just those people them
selves, but that is not the problem.
The state is interested in a much
larger sense than in the 40,000--in the
100000 mothers and wives and sisters
and babes of those 10000. If you
could see that file as they come in the
court every day there would be a
new problem here. What is our gov
eminent for? Why have we legisla-
tors in the United States who are
working overtime passing laws and
laws?
What is the purpose of laws? Only
this; That every boy and girl born
in this land shall have an equal OPP
portunity. That the powerful shall
not crush the weak, the helpless. The
schools are so that the boys and girls
may be prepared to go out into the
world and have some sort of an OPP
portunity to go out and get some
thing in the battle of life.
Pleads for Mothers of Drunkards
Cast aside the 10000 for a moment,
forget them; but l wish you could
see the procession of mothers who
have come into the court in South
Chicago, carrying babes in their arms,
babes with sallow checks and hair
all matted together, and | never yet
have heard a baby cry in court. The
mothers come in day after day and
plead for those collaborating,
worthless husbands; many with
blackened eyes and bruised bodies,
and often whole train of little chill
dren-and never a baby criesl Why?
Because the blood of the drunkard
flows through the veins OF the babe
and there has been nothing but
drunkenness and misery and there is
no hope. Has that child an equal OPP
portunity with your child or my
childi What is our law for-whai

Chicago Going Dry
Say Dry Leaders
Public Officials and Social Workers
Assert There Are Enough Voters
Opposed to Saloons to Put
City Dry
BY Philip Yarrow

The referendum bill was defeated
largely by Chicago liquor votes. If
the referendum bill had passed, the
Dry Chicago Federation stood ready
to throw all of its force into the state
fight AS the state fight is impossible
the Federation will now proceed with
its original purpose.
An Army of Workers Already En-
rolled
During the past few months more
than $4,000 names of workers have
been secured We are planning to
proceed Immediately with an inten-
sive scheme of organization. Every
ward, precinct and block in the city
must be covered by energetic work
ers.
The value of the Chicago campaign
is acknowledged by all national lead
ers who have come in contact with
our work. They say it is of supreme
importance that Chicago should make
an adequate fight against the saloon.
Whatever may be the program of this
campaign, there are immense values
to be gained. The prospects for sue
cess are good. Final victory will de-
pend upon an organization which will
secure the registration of every dry
voter, and then on election day get
ting the dry votes into the ballot
boxes.
Leading Men Say Victory Is in Sight
There are enough dry voters il
thoroughly aroused and organized to
make old Chicago dry. Just recently
these men, known to the Superin-
tendent, have declared that Chicago
will go dry if given an opportunity to
vote.
/. A member of Mayor Thomp-
sons cabinet.
2. One of the leading advertising
men of the country.
3. One of the best known social
workers in the Middle West.
4. The head of statewide civic
organization having headquarters In
Chicago.
s. One of the most prominent
business men of Chicago
The names of all these men are
familiar in every household of Chi
cago.
We can make Chicago dry. Deter
mination must be transformed into
deeds. We call upon every loyal
friend of temperance to enlist in this
great moral struggle.

'STAHL REELECTED
MAYOR OF FREEPORT'

Harry H. Stahl, elected Mayor OF
kreeport two years ago as dry, and
opposed on account of his enforce
ment of the anti-saloon law, was re-
elected last week. The entire Citi-
Gems ticket. which was headed by
Mayor Stahl, was elected, with the
exception of one Alderman.
AS this ticket was supported by the
Civic League, the organization which
put Frceport in the dry column and
which has held together to enforce
the law, Mayor Stahps reelection
can only be interpreted az another
dry victory.
