Why Wet Politicians
Don't Desert Saloons

Cant the wet politicians see the
handwriting on lhe WALTZ" "Wky
don't they get on the dry band wagbn
and save their political scalps for }he
futuref" Here is one explanation.
The only qualification the wet poiiti-
clan needs is his willingness to pro-
tect the liquor interests. If the liquor
traffic is destroyed the former wet
politician will have to run for office
on his merits as man and his abil-
ity to work effectively for the public
Every politician who sticks to the
saloons in the face of their impending
destruction thereby admits that he is
afraid to seek Office on his own mer-
its.

200 Saloons Quit
in Chicago

Sunday closing and the war have
already driven 200 Chicago saloons
out of business $3.50, {.
The new period for issuing licenses
began May l. OF the 7,152 saloons in
operation last year, only 5000 had
taken out licenses a week ago. and it
is the belief OF Deputy City Collector
George Lehman that there will be
from two to three hundred fewer IL
censes this year than last year with a
consequent loss of revenue of over
100000.

An Efficient Army
Demands Prohibition
Says Majj.-Cen. Carter

While the United States govern
fnent should stop the waste of grain
In the manufacture of liquor, the chief
argument for Prohibition is not the
conservation of grain, but the con-
servation of man-power. This is
aptly stated by Major General Will
liam Harding Carter, u. S. A, who
says:
THE public is far better advised to-
day than ever before concerning the
effects of the habitual use of intoxi-
cants in producing criminal, insane
and untrustworthy men and women
and degenerate children. Prisons,
asylums and public rcformatories fur
nish continuous and abundant evil
dence along these lines. The increas-
ing undiscipline of Americans has
been observed and noted by investi-
gators and students for many years
This is evidenced in lack of respect
for parents, for the aged, for officers
OF the law and for the law itself. 1t
has also been a uniform observation
that these conditions become aggra-
waited whenever and wherever intoxi-
eating liquors are habitually used.
Confronted by these facts, we are
about TO undertake the creation OF a
large army of the people and to pre-
pare it for participation in the most

then under suspension of the rules
the bill was passed and at once
sent 10 the Governor. Eight
amendments TO the bill were pro-
posed in the Senate, but every
one was rejected and the bill goes
to the Governor just as it was
passed by the House 1t is de-
clared that the Governor will sign
the bill within the next few days.
1t was declared that the Prohibi-
ton forces were ready to open
headquarters for the state fight
in Madison the day the Governor
signs the bill. Some time ago
the Governor announced that he
would sign the bill just as soon
as ii passed both Houses of the
Legislature.
The day will come when the goot
people of Illinois will awaken to TIL,
necessity Of starting back i'll the pri
maries to elect good, clean men t,
the Legislature, and not wait until TIL,
brewers and distillers and saloonkeep
ers have sent a majority of the mem
bers to the Assembly where laws ar,
made. When the liquor dealers hav'
paid the campaign expenses of tn,
men who go to the state capital to 81
in the Legislature, there is littl'
chance to get them to vote for an,

SHAMES ILLINOIS
(Waukegan Gazette)

On the same day on which the state
Legislature OF Illinois went on record
as being opposed to giving protection
TO the young men who come from all
parts of the nation to take up the
work of training in the American
navy, another state went into the long
list of those who believe in state
wide referendum of the liquor ques-
ton.
When Lee O'Neil Browne was
shouting himself hoarse in the legis-
lative halls at Springfield in defense
of booze, other men whom God had
given intellects with which to Judge
right from wrong, in another state
were going on record against the
traffic which wrecks homes and men.
The following telegram sent out
by the United Press Association tells
the story:
Madison, May l0.-Wisconsin,
the wettest state in the Union,
may join the dry procession in
1918, as the way for Prohibition
was paved today when the State
Senate, by vote of Fl to IL, con-

of democratic self-government.
By contemplate bit of parliament

luton. Flynn, having voted against
it, made motion to reconsider, which
his rum followers promptly voted
down. lQl To 81, making inpnssSbh a
revival of the proposition at the pres
ent session. The whole shabby pro-
ceeding was characteristic of the
treacherous tactics of the liquor
crowd, and shows how incapable these
self-styled good fellows" are of re-
specting the first principles of decent
craftsmanship.

The REAL FOE OF SUFFRAGE

(From the Philadelp
hia North American)
The defeat of the equal suffrage
referendum bill at Harrisburg last
Tuesday was painful surprise to the
suffrage organization of the state. A
still greater shock was the cowardly
attack by which the .lia,,or forces. led
~ John M. Flynn, representative of
the Elk Brewing Company, called up
the measure later in the day in order
to strike it down finally and prevent
reconsideration at this session. The
result will be dcplored not only by
those directly interested in the bill,
but by all believers in the principles

IT COSTS MORE TO RAISE
THE DEVIL NOW

According to Midas Criterion of
the wine and liquor interests. lit costs
a good deal more to raise the devil
than it did few years back.
Believe us, friends, in the old days
when whisky, beer and wine could be
had at pretty nearly every corner it
didn't cost nearly so much to live.

for about $500 a month. Now if he

Paw Bond Issue

The brewers are doing everything
possible to belittle the Importance of
wartime Prohibition, but the retail
expenditures on drink for one year
