According to Miss Kate J. Adams,
Secrstary OF the Coulter House AS

vailing in some liquor selling cafes OF
Chicago are worse than those in the
liquor selling dance halls as reported

Liquor Interests
Steal Livery Of
United Press
United States Senators Denounce
Fake Liquor Propaganda

The Congressional Record for Feb
ruary 3 contains the following:
Mr.. Sheppard. Mr.. President, |
wish to direct the attention of the
Senate to the fact that a concern call
ing itself the United Press Associa-
ton has been sending over the coun-
try free newspaper copy favoring the
liquor interests. This copy is sent
out under an envelope bearing the re-
turn address, The United Press Asso-
citation, Cleveland The impression
has thus been created that the famous
association so Familiarity known as the
United Press is sending out this
copy.
The United Press has taken notice
of the fact and has issued a state
ment which | ask to have the Secre-
tary read. The proper name of the
United Press is United Press Asso-
cations, and the head office of this
great organization is located in the
city of New York.
"The Presiding Officer. Without
objection, the Secretary will read as
requested.
1.-THE Secretary read as follows:
Editors: The following is sent on
advice of our counsel for your in
formation and for publication if de-
sired In view of the fact that the
liquor propaganda referred to above
has been sent to many newspapers not
receiving the United Press service, we
will greatly appreciate the publication
of this disavowal.-W. H. Hawkins.
New York, January 80.
"a concern operating out of Cleve-
land Ohio, is sending newspapers in
the country great deal of free copy
favorable to the liquor interests. This
copy comes in envelopes bearing the

ISOLATION, Cleveland
"The United Press Associations, with
general Offices in New York and bu
reaus in many cities throughout the
country, is in no way connected with
or responsible for the concern that is
sending out this anti-Prohibition pro-
paganda and it has instructed its at
torneys to institute proceedings to
enjoin the methods which make it
appearSthat the United Press Asso-
Citations has abandoned its course of
distributing only regular news matter.
"Mr. Sheppard. This is merely an
other illustration of the methods pur-
sued by the liquor traffic in the en-
deavor to perpetuate its existence in
this country"
Many Illinois newspapers have re-
ceived "stories" sent out by this fake
organization. Fortunately, most of
these stories have gone into the
waste basket.

Quincy Council
Goes on Record
For Lawbreaking
Better Class of People Indignant and
Council May Rescind Action

While Mayors and other city Off
Gals all over Illinois are using their
power to enforce the state law closing
saloons on Sunday, the city council of
Quincy, Illinois, has deliberately
voted to sanction lawbreaking.
Two weeks ago a resolution was
introduced into the city council di-
recting the ordinance committee to
draft an ordinance providing that mo
dramshop, liquor saloon, tipping
house or place where wines, beers or
liquors are given away, shall be kept
open within this city upon the first
day of the week, commonly called
Sunday" The resolution was de-
feated by vote of to 6.
As the proposed ordinance would
merely have given effect to the state
law, its defeat by the city council put
that body on record as favoring the
violation of that law. The real issue
involved was mot whether Quincy
should or should not have saloons on
Sunday, but whether the people of
Quincy should obey the laws of the
state of Illinois. The vote of the
city council was an open defiance of
the state law, and was, therefore.
nothing more nor less than anarchy.
Fortunately for the good name of
Quincy, so much Indignation was
aroused by the action of council,
that it is likely the resolution will be
reconsidered.

Denver Labor Journal Says Dry Law Has
Benefited Organized Labor
(From Editorial in Denver Labor Bulletin, Organ of
Organized Labor, Feb. s. 1917

Frequently the Bulletin receives letters from
other sections of the country asking what effect
statewide Prohibition has had upon wage-earners
and the labor movement of Colorado. To these
are always pleased to reply that the law had worked
wonderful revolution for good, and that at least Is
per cent of the union voters who against the
amendment would vote to retain it now should the
occasion arise. Last fall when it was sought to
amend the law to permit the manufacture and sale
of beer in this state the proposition defeated
by an adverse majority of $4,000 votes.
There we'll fed, better clothed and
happy families of working people in Colorado than
ever before. Especially have members of organized
labor realized during the past the fallacy of that
old slogan about the saloon being "the poor mans
club They have discovered that this so-called
poor mans club" got very large share of their
earnings, which now goes to support the family or
establish bank account.
The Bulletin has no hesitancy in saying that
the whole the condition of Colorado working people
is at least 50 per cent better result of statewide
Prohibition The increase in savings deposits last
year was truly remarkable and retail merchants de-
clare collections from 40 to 90 per cent better
under Prohibition than when the saloon door stood
wide open to invite the wage-earner bearing pay
envelope.
During the week preceding Christmas the banks
of Denver paid out one-half million dollars to
members of savings clubs practically all of whom
were wage-earners. This great amount of money
really accumulation that had hitherto been
spent for liquor or its accessories.
Today it is practically impossible to find mem

return of former conditions with the open saloon
and its accompanying crime.

DON'T LET THEM FOOL
YOU!
Warns Waukegan Gazette

At Springfield now is being
waged a fight to pass a state
wide local option measure. The
Senate has already passed the
bill and sent it on to the House.
The liquor interests are loud in
their denunciation of the bill.
Should it be passed, the people
would have a right to vote on
the proposition, "Shall the state
of Illinois be dry?" "The peo-
ple," the very ones whom the
vets claim should be given a
chance by their vote to say
whether Waukegan township
should be wet or dry must be
shut off from enjoying the same
privilege when the whole state
is taken into consideration.
Do not be fooled, Mr.. Good
Citizen. The whisky dealer has
no thought for you and your
rights. He is engaged in bust
ness which he knows is on the
skids. He wants you to have
a right to vote only when he
thinks by setting up that claim
to fool somebody. There is no
sincerity in the plea that the
people of Waukegan ssoQlf be
allowed to vote on the matter
of saloons or no saloons. That
has been voted on and an
swered. The people who fought
that fight now ask the Legisla-
ture to relieve this city of fur
Their bitter fights over this is
sue, which is rapidly passing
out in the nation.
And just as Waukegan set
tied its liquor question one year
ago, the great commonwealth
of Illinois should be allowed to
settle its liquor question next
year. Indiana, Michigan, Iowa
and many other nearby states
have had the courage to settle
for all time the question of
whether licensed debauchery
and wrecked homes shall be a
thing forgotten, or live on to
the everlasting disgrace of a
supposedly learned and pro-
gressive people.

France Strikes at Alcohol

On the walls of every post office in
France the government has ordered
the following declaration, signed by
the President, to be exhibited:
ITO French Women and to Young
Frenchmen
DRINK is AS MUCH YOUR
ENEMY AS GERMANY
Since 1870 it has cost France in men
and money much more than the pres
emit wax.
Drinkers ago quickly. They lose
half their normal life, and fall easy
victims to many infirmities and i'll
nesses.
The seductive drinks of your pa
rents reappear in their offsprings as
great hereditary evils. France owes
to alcohol great many mad men and
women and consumptives, and most
of her criminals.
Drink decreases by two-thirds our
national production; it raises the cost
of living and increases poverty.
In imitation of the criminal Kaiser,
drink decimates and ruins France, to
the great delight of Germany.
Mothers, young men, young girls,
wivesl Up and act against drink in
memory of those who have gloriously
died or suffered wounds for the
Fatherlandl You will thus accom-
plish mission as great as that OF
our heroic soldiers"
