Drink Responsible
But Not Blamed

A correspondent writes and sends
us a clipping telling of an accident
in which two men were killed. The
newspaper article gives all details,
but, according to our correspondent,
omits the important fact that the man
responsible for the accident was
drunk. The Coroner's jury also failed
to mention in its verdict that drink
was the cause of the two deaths.
1t is a common tendency on the
part of newspapers and Coroner's
juries not to place the blame where
it belongs when alcohol causes acci-
dents or deaths, therefore the extent
of the harm done by liquor is never
known. If newspapers would pub
lish the fact whenever alcohol causes
suffering the people would more act
lively oppose drink.

standing pat and his enemies who
had Topped b ack and forth. 1t is
about time for the little factionalists
who have been swapping at the Gov
ernor's heels to dry up their chorus
about his lack of nerve And any
believer in decency and morality who
refuses to give the Governor un-
grudging credit lacks both intelli-
gence and gratitude and, whatever
his motives, is acting the part of a
liquor pawn"
To Mr.. Anderson, we would say,
your many Illinois friends rejoice
with you in this great victory. Go
to it under the operations of this
law and drive the saloon from the
cities of your state and get New York
ready for national. Prohibition soon
to come. More power to you!

Dry Springfield
Gets Conventions

During the recent campaign,
Springfield vets predicted that the
city would suffer the loss of conven-
tons if it voted dry. This prophecy
is going to prove false, as are most
of the forecasts of dry disasters.
The Illinois State Medical Society
has chosen Springfield for its 1918
convention. The Redmen of Illinois
will also meet again in Springfield
next year. One of the newly-elected
officers OF the Redmen, according to
the Springfield Register, asserted that
the rumor that they would change to
Peoria because Springfield had voted
dry was absolutely untrue, and was in
itself a reflection on the character
of the order.
Peoria will learn to her sorrow that
worth while conventions will steer
clear of that otherwise fair city to
avoid any possible reflection that
might be implied by the choice of a
wet convention town.

Chicago Woman S Club
in Anti-Liquor Drive

The Chicago Woman's Club, the
largest organization of women in this
country, has commenced a big drive
against liquor. On Friday afternoon
May l8, the houses of so of the most
prominent women of Chicago were
thrown open for dry meetings, all
taking place at exactly the same hour
Fifty of the ablest speakers in the
state, many of them nationally ia
nous, gave addresses.
All phases of the liquor problem
in the city and in the nation were
discussed by the various speakers.
In addition to urging action toward a
dry Chicago, Prohibition as a war
measure was discussed. All who
opened their homes for these meet
ings supplied the daily press with a
news report covering the addresses.
These meetings were an outcome of
luncheon for Club women held at
the Hotel LaSalle last December. At
this time Mrs. Harlem Ward Cooley,
president of the Chicago Woman's S
Club, appointed cooperating COM
mittee. This committee, under the
leadership of Mrs. Ella Stewart, has
been doing valuable service. Among
other things, these so simultaneous
parlor meetings were arranged Never
before have the club women been so
directly interested in dry Chicago.
1t is expected that their influence will
be one of the determining factors in
our campaign.
The Woman's Church Federation,
the Catholic Total Abstinence Union,
the w. c. T. u. and the Woman's
Clubs of the city will undoubtedly
join in the effort to secure the sigma
lures of at least 100000 women who
will promise to register and to vote
dry in the spring of 1918. Cards are
beginning to pour into the Office of
the Dry Chicago Federation, and it
is expected within the next few weeks
that the requisite number OF names
will be secured.

1t was the union of temperance
forces brought about by the Anti
Saloon Leagues activity that
made possible the sustained,
overwhelming pressure from home
throughout the session that forced
the city local option bill over
various obstacles, and it was this
public sentiment, on the broad
foundation that had been pre-
pared, that made it possible for
the Governor to go the limit for
this measure without the risk of
wrecking his party or jeopardiz-
ing its future success.
The representatives of the
Anti-Saloon League have helped
with work and counsel whenever
wanted, without obtruding them
selves or their organization. They
have shown such willingness to
labor without stint to help the
cause by the passage of a bill with
which they had no official con-
nection that this statement is due
as a simple act of justice.

Federal Officers
Raid Blind Piqs

Desiring to protect the boys at the
Great Lakes Training Station and at
Fns4 <idan, the United States gov
ernment officials raided numerous
blind pigs in Waukegan Saturday
night, May 19. The raid was en-
tirely unexpected. Many illegal liq-
uor sellers were caught. 1t is said
that enough evidence was found to
send some of them to the federal
prison at Fort Leavenworth.
Commandant Moffett and Secretary
Daniels of the navy department are
opposed to the existence of liquor re-
sorts and are determined to rid the
vicinity of these harmful places.

Bone Dry Sunday
Great Success
Benefit of Sunday Closing Proven at
Quincy

There was no session Of the Police
Court on Monday morning following
Quincy's first Sunday without open
Saloons. The following report from
the Quincy Herald of May IA tells
of the vast improvement resulting
from keeping the saloons closed on
the Sabbath:
Quincy passed through her first
bone-dry Sunday yesterday, and sur
vived the ordeal with the assistance
of scores of picnics in the woods and
some more scores Of succulent
eighths and cases of quarts and pints
laid in Saturday by the forehanded d
for private consumption at home.
Not an arrest was made Saturday
night or Sunday, and Monday morn
ing there was no session of the Po-
lice Court. Chief Melton stated
Monday morning that his officers,
night and day, reported to him that
so far as they could see there was
not dramshop in the city that was
open for business during the day or
evening, and that the curtains were
all withdrawn so that the interiors
were exposed to view from the out
side. The declaration OF the Mayor
that an open saloon on Sunday meant
a closed saloon on Monday proved
very effective-more effective than
has the imposition of an occasional
fine of SIS and costs, that proved no
deterrent in the case of number of
saloons"

Morris Saloons
Gone for Good
All Agree to Support Dry Program

The saloons of Morris closed on the
night of May II will probably never
again reopen. Many familiar with
the local situation expressed the belief
that Morris will remain dry perma-
nently. The Joliet Herald's story OF
the last wet night in Morris includes
the following statement:
wet supporters last night aban-
doned any plan they might have had
to continue selling liquor. While ad-
vertisements authorized by the vets
during the option campaign asserted
that liquor would be sold in as large
quantities as before, dealers announce
they will make no effort to evade the
law.
Effect is given the assertion by the
perfecting of a pact between the
Sheriff, Mayor T. H. Hall and the
dry committee, all of whom will work
in harmony to make Morris bone
dry A fund has already been raised
by the drys to be used in preventing
the illegal sale of liquor. All Morris
industries are committed to support
the dry regime.
MANY express the belief that Nor
ris will remain dry permanently"
With city officials and local indus
tries supporting the dry program, and
with the vets ready to surrender,
Prohibition will be given a fair
chance, and wherever Prohibition is
given a fair chance, it becomes a
permanent policy of the town.

Governor Whitman Is Given Much
Credit for Passage of Bill

Mr.. Anderson, in summing up the
factors responsible for the passage of
this bill, gives great credit to the
Governor of the state. He says:
Everybody who knows anything
about the recent campaign in New
York knows that there would not
have been a vestige of a chance for
the passage of any city local option
bill at this session without what Gov
ernor Whitman said and then, what
he DID to back up his words.
This is no new attitude for the
Governor. He answered the League S
questions when a candidate in 1914.
He purged himself OF any RESPONSE
bility for the 'sell-out' of local option
in 1915. In 1916 he wrote the League
letter committing himself abso-
lutely to the proposition, notwith-
standing the fact that he was facing
an election campaign in a presiden-
tal election year and would have to
encounter liquor opposition. In 1917
he put the question in his message,
and when he found that his message
was being distorted he defined his po-
sition in another letter which began
the overthrow of the liquor control
of the Senate.
"The fight on the Hill-Wheeler bill
was as hard, intense and bitter a
fight as that of Governor Hughes on
the race-track gambling question.
We really think it was more so. One
not there cannot imagine the terrific
pressure brought to bear by the big
money interests lined up with the
vets. The main difference is that
the temperance forces were far bet
ter organized and better able to back
up the Governor than the anti-gam-
bling forces, and when the Governor
made his final appeal to the local
political leaders and the people gen.
orally they reacted instantly and
crushed the opposition without
long -drawn-out fight. This issue was
more important than the race-track
gambling issue, and Governor Whit
man stood as strongly as Governor
Hughes. He resisted the capitalized
selhshness of the worlds greatest
city; he served notice that if the
regular session failed to act he would
call a special session to pass city
local option bill; he read the major
ity leader of the Senate out OF the
party; and yet there are still those
who parrot, He has no backbone
What do they want him to do? As
sassinate the wet Legislators and
have the militia burn the breweries?
Through the entire campaign the
Governors factional enemies, repre-
sentatives of the liquor-serving Old
Guard, have attempted to discredit
Aim by claims that he could not be
depended upon. But when the session
closed il was the Governor who was
