Ask Uncle Sam
to Close Saloons
On Mexican Front
Citizens of Wilmette in a Big Public
Meeting Pass Resolution Which
Will Be Sent to War De-
partment

At a patriotic meeting held in Viii
mette last Friday which was largely
attended by people from a number of
suburban towns along the North
Shore, resolutions were passed urging
the Secretary of War to close the sa-
looms that have sprung up along the
Mexican front since American troops
were stationed there.
The Resolution
Whereas, Past experience has
taught US that wherever large body
of men are assembled for military
purposes, saloons and evil resorts
multiply in the closest possible prox-
unity, thereby endangering greatly the
good health both morally and physi-
cally of the troops so assembled, and
Whereas, The recent mobilization of
our troops on the Mexican border has
brought the matter sharply to the at
tention of many of the citizens of this
country, and
Whereas, The possibility is in no
way remote that another call to the
colors may be sounded in the near
future:
Therefore Be 1t Resolved, That we,
the citizens of Wilmette, Illinois, do
respectfully submit an appeal to the
War Department of the United States
Government that in the general plans
for military preparedness the moral
environment of the soldiers be &C
corded full and careful attention; that
with official foresight all saloons and
evil resorts be eradicated from the vi
cinity of all points of mobilization OF
encampment, just as other unsanitary
conditions would be cleared away; and
that our sons, brothers, and fathers be
not called to jeopardize their souls as
we'll as their bodies in the service oil
their country.
Be 1t Further Resolved, That a
copy of this resolution be sent to the
President of the United States, to the
Secretary of War, and also to the
public press.
Speeches by Catholics and Protestants
Catholic priests and Protestant
ministers took part in the meetings
and all urged the obligation of the
government in safeguarding the moral
and physical welfare of the young
men at the front. Their efficiency as
soldiers depends more upon the
closing of these obnoxious resorts
than upon any other one thing.

NO MEN FOR ROAD WORK
Prohibition in North Carolina De-
creases Offenders so That County
Highway Builders Will Have to
Be Hired In Open Market

Commissioners of New Hanover
county, North Carolina, are put in a
hole because of Prohibition. 1t has
been the custom to have the work Of
road building done by men found
guilty of violating the law. How
ever, there are now so few violators
that the Commissioners fear they will
be compelled to go into the open mar
ket and hire men to do the work for
merry done by convicted men.
There are now only 60 male pris-
oners in the wo-khouse, and of this
number not more thar. IS are able
bodied. With no saloons, the number
of defendants has been steadily de-
creasing.

The Rock Island
System of Finance

Rock Island is to have another new
saloon to be equipped at cost of
$4,000.
Rock Island now boasts the longest
bar and several of the best equipped
saloons in the state, but the city is
squandering hundreds of thousands on
drink, it is spending less money on
public improvements than most of the
dry cities of its size. Booze and a
wise policy of public improvements
never go together.

LESS BEER SOLD

Evidence that the liquor traffic Is
waning in Lackawanna county, Pa,
is found in the fact that there are
fewer applications this year for IL
censes. No new wholesalers or
brewers ask permits. The brewery
output suffered big decrease, fewer
than 100000 barrels being brcwed in
1916, a decrease of 10000 under the
production of 1915, and falling off
of $4,000 barrels in four years since
Billy Sunday held his revival at
Reading in 1913.

B.4 FIRE
Insure with
W.O. HINTON & SON,Agts
BIG FIRE IN CINCINNATI ELEC-
TRICAL CONCERN.

"A fire of unknown origin damaged
the big plant of the Post Glover
Electric Company, on Fourth street,
in Cincinnati, early Wednesday morn
ing, to the extent of 100000. The
loss is covered by insurance, accord
ing to statements made to the officials
by officials of the Company.
Damage to the building, which is
owned by the Fleischmans, is esti-
mated at $4,000. Investigations de-
veloped the fact that the fire origin
ated in the sixth floor of the the
Fourth street building. The fire is
believed by the police and firemen to
have been of incendiary origin.
Great interest centers in the investi-
cations which is to be continued from
the fact that the concern was engag-
ed in working on a big Government
contract for electrical supplies.
The fire was in the immediate
of where former Paris
people, Mr.. and Mrs. Frank w.
Shackleford, reside. The Lombardy
Flats near them, was damaged by
smoke and water. but untouched by
the fire.
