What Illinois Papers Say of John Barleycorn

Philadelphia, St. Louis. Boston and
Cleveland. One-half the people in
licensed territory live in four states
New York, Pennsylvania, Illinois and
New Jersey.
The fight against the saloon had
its origin in the country. 1t was the
outgrowth of religious revivals. The
farmer OF today inherits the hatred OF
his forefathcrs for the saloon and he
hits the saloon a solar-plexus blow
every time he gets a chance.
But it's different in the city. The
city is the stronghold OF the saloon.
And those who would destroy the sa-
loon will have 10 understand that
they can't fight the saloon in big in
dustrial towns with an elaborated
rural program.-Elgin News.

Very Prosperous
Under Dry Regime
Towns Spring Up as by Magic in
Dry Sections of Kentucky

One of the surprises to which Con-
gress was treated in the discussion of
certain appropriation bills for public
buildings was the proof of the mar
velous growth in population and
wealth of the people living in the
mountain regions of Kentucky under
Prohibition.
Representative Langley's bills ap-
propriating $4,000 for a public build
ing in Hazard, KY, and $4,000 for a
building in Pikeville, were bitterly at
Hacked as pork" measures. In reply,
Mr.. Langley pointed out that while
the census of 1910 gave to one Of
these towns only 537 inhabitants and
to another 1,2S0, yet the towns had
increased by leaps and bounds since
4 that time and were really cities of be-
i tween four and five thousand popu-
lation, with over 800 school children,
a commercial club, paved streets, cleo
! trio light, water. works and all the
T modern conveniences. The growth
of these places, indeed, has been al
most unparalleled.
| "There is one point in my district"
said Mr. Langley, "whcrc the census
enumeration in 1910 had to ride a mule
over mountain trail to get the names
of the inhabitants, in what is now the
| site OF a city of 5000 or 1000 people
with electric lights, water works,
paved streets, an artificial lake of 10
100000 gallons of water, club house
that cost $4,000, a power plant that
cost more than three times that much,
furnishing light, heat and power for
miles and miles around"
The city referred to by Mr.. Langley
| is the city of Jenkins in Letcher
county. In 1910, there wasn't even a
cluster of houses where the city now
stands or postoffice. The very name
did not appear upon the map.
Mr.. Langley does not attempt to
lexplain what magic force called forth
these thriving cities out of the noun
tain wilderness, but it is significant
fact and one we believe which furn-
ishes the explanation of the marvel,
that the Kentucky counties in which
all three of these cities lie, have been
dry for a number of years. We can
think of no more graphic and con-
elusive proof than is furnished by
these cities that Prohibition spells
prosperity.

Saloon Man Arrested
On Cruelty CHARGE

According to the Danville COM
mercial-News, Lou Brown, proprietor
OF the Log Cabin saloon, and Dan
and Isaac Meeks, proprietors of a
restaurant in the rear Of the saloon,
were arrested last week on a charge
of cruelty to animals.
In a window of the saloon great
golden eagle was confined, and every
day crowds of people were attracted
by the spectacle of the eagle tearing
to pieces live rabbits and chickens.
The sight of the eagle devouring a
struggling rooster was too much for
passers-by, and complaint was filed
with the States Attorney by officers
OF the humane society. Arrests of the
proprietors followed.
Commenting upon the incident, the
Commercial-News says:
The statement is frequently
made that it is the saloonkeepers
themselves who are making this
country dry. Such cruelty as
practiced by them fosters that be-
lief.

INVESTIGATE THE SUNDAY
SALOON

The City Council committee, which
has just laid down the burden of dis
covering there is war in Europe and
that the law OF supply and demand is
being rigidly enforced in this city
without the aid or consent Of the city
administration, is now free to accept
service in other useful directions.
For instance, it might inquire un-
der appropriate authority from the
City Council and his honor, Mayor
Woodruff, whether there is any con-
spiracy on the part OF Peoria dram
shop keepers TO violate the Sunday
closing law of Illinois. 1t would be
interesting to know from this COM
mittee, examining saloonkeepers in
executive session, whether they are
violating the law naturally after the
manner of the law of supply and de-
mand. or whether they have issued
circulars announcing their confeder-
ated desire to make Peoria the only
city in the state defiant OF its sover-

Massachusetts Drys
Satisfied With Results

The vets have been making the
welkin ring with joyous shouts over
the wet victory in Boston. Boston
was only one of many Massachusetts
cities to vote, and the plain truth is
that the total results OF the Novem-
Der elections in the Bay State, was a
sorry drubbing for the liquor inter
tests.
"There is nothing but encourage
ment for the workers against the liq-
uor traffic in Massachusetts," says the
Christian Science Monitor, "in the
showing that they are able to make
Tor 1916. The additions to the list Of
dry towns and cities in the last two
years is long and important. Some
communities of very considerable So
cia1 and political Importance have re-
|versed themselves on the liquor ques-
ton in such an emphatic way as to
leave little doubt as to their attitude
in the future.
"Whle Lawrence and Worcester,
like Boston, increased their wet ma
jorities, this apparent backset is fully
compensated for by the fact that Chel-
sea cut down its license lead from o37
to 1888, Chicopee from 451 to 23l, and
Lowell from l,472 TO S02. On the

arc operating in town are locker
clubs and that it would be better to
have open saloons, and get the Ii
cense than 10 have these illegal
places?
Is it that the saloon interests wish
to convey to the people of this city
the idea that these so-called locker
clubs cannot be stopped in their il
legal work. And that the only thing
accomplished by ousting of the sa-
looms last April is the present eondi-
ton, with loss OF the saloon license
revenue:
There is a difference between the
regular club and the old saloon fitted
up with lot OF boxes, and manned
by an x-saloonkeeper. If you do not
think there is difference read what
the Supreme Court OF the state of Hi
nois has to say about the matter, in
an opinion filed June p, 1915, page
602, volume 273, Illinois Reports:
"a club or assembly OF individuals
as club or association, cannot be
used as means of cvading and yio1
lating the provisions OF the Dram
shop or Local Option law or ordin-
ances of municipal corporations pro-
hibiting or licensing the sale of in
toxicating liquor
After you have read the above ask
yourself whether you think the
States Attorney of Lake county
might, if he SO wished, put a stop to
the open blind pigs in this city which
sail under the banner OF locker
clubs" captained by men who previ-
ously operated saloons.

The Republican received circular
this week from a liquor house explain
ing what hardship it would be on

Booze Dealers
Alarmed Over
Moving Saloons
Send Letter to Chicago's Chief of
Police Complaining of Beer Wag-
ons and Bootleggers Who Sell
Without License

The Cook County Liquor Dealers
Association is up in arms against what
it styles moving saloons in the city
of Chicago, referring to whisky and
beer peddlers who sell without license.
They addressed a letter recently to
Chief Schuettler, asking that he en-
force the laws against these Illicit
grog sellers.
Assuming that the continued vio-
lation of the law by peddlcrs of intox-
icatng liquor" so runs the letter, can
only be upon the payment of black
mail, we hope you will take such ac-
ton as may be necessary to stop
these violations in order that you
may render justice to the men i'll our
business"
Chief Schuettler, in reply, promised
to enforce the law against these IL
licit dealers.
Blame Wholesalers
Violations OF the liquor laws, as
charged, are laid at the door of the
wholesalers. The Champion of Fair
Play quotes Oscar f. Hewitt with
approval as saying:
"Thc fact is that the wholesalers
are peddling beer in competition with
the retail dealers, and the increase in
the number OF wholesalers indicates
that they are taking much business
away from the ordinary saloonkeeper.
"If the city is really DESTROYS of
making license fees more equitable
and incidentally wishes to increase
the municipal income, why not boost
the license fee OF the wholesale malt
liquor dealer-the beer peddler?'

Peoria House of Correction
says,
Ninety nine in every 100 of

the saloons and the ease. with
which Peoria housewives fall
J victim to their pleas for some
thing to eat, or money, or
something else. Peoria is the
easiest city in the country. /
have had hundreds tell me that.
