THE KAISER'S BOAST

Had the German-American Alliance
succeeded in its work against Prohi-
bition, it would also, in all probability,
had succeeded in its work for Ger
many Had not the Anti-Saloon
League broken the political power of
the brewers who finance the kaiser's
in America, there is no
doubt that the brewers could have
controlled America politics, and
through them the kaiser could have
made good his boast.
In view of these facts, Mr.. Voter,
will you help the brewers of Illinois
and the nation nominate and elect
their servants to the Illinois Legisla-
ture?
If you are not willing to have the
brewers rule, go to the primaries on
September / and vote for endorsed
dry candidates.

LOAFER FACTORY
Geo. McGinnis)

There is shortage of 10000 men
for track labor in the Chicago railroad
district, yet federal officer counted
5000 idle men in few blocks of the
Madison street lodging house district
in mid-afternoon.
There were hundreds of them in the
saloons or sitting in the rooms of
cheap lodging houses gazing idly out
the windows. They are able-bodied
men and yet are refusing 81 and S.
per day for work
What are you going to do about
it," the federal agent was asked. Il
don't know" he replied.
1t is about time that Uncle Sam is
aroused to the fact that every saloon
is loafer factory, the finished prod
uct of which is worth less than the
raw material.
Now that Uncle is wedding out non
essential plants, let him grasp this nox-
ious weed, the saloon, and with a
mighty yank pull it out by the roots
and throw it on the garbage dump.

The German-American Alliance OBJ
tanned its charter from Congress in
1906. Richard Bartholdt, congressman
from the district in which the An
heuser-Busch Brewing Co. is located
and VIGOROUSLY a representative Of
the brewing industry in Congress, APP
piled for the charter. Following a
thorough investigation of the activi-
ties of the German-American Alliance
before a special committee o{Ahe
United States Senate, Congress voted
to cancel the charter of this organiza-
ton. In the investigation it was
brought out that the two purposes for
which the German-American Alliance
existed were to spread German propa-
ganda in the United States and to fight
against the Prohibition movement.
The organization was financed chiefly
by the brewers, who levied barrel
tax on beer produced, giving the pro-
ceeds raised by this method to further
the work of the German-American
Alliance.
A secret report from the archives
of the British government contains
a speech of the kaiser at war coun-
Gil at Pottsdam in 1908, of which the
following is a part:
"Even now / rule supreme in the
United States, where almost one-half
of the population is either of German
birth or German descent, and where
100000 voters do my bidding at the
presidential elections. No American
administration could remain in power
against the will of the German voters
who, through that admirable organiza-
ton, the German-American National
League of the United States of
America, control the destinies of the
vast republic beyond the sea. If a
man was ever worthy of high deco
ration at my hands it was Herr DR..
Hexamer, the president of the league,
who may justly be termed to be, by
my grace, the acting ruler of all the
Germans in the United States"

Sufragists Versus Brewers

A taxpayers suit is on in the COM
mon pleas court in Franklin county,
Ohio, to test the constitutionality of
proposed amendment to the Ohio
state constitution, making the ratihca-
ton of federal amendments by the
Legislature subject to referendum.
The proposed amendment is initial
ed by the Ohio Home Rule Associa-
ton (the wets). The National Amer
lean Woman Suffrage Association is
bringing suit at the request of the
Ohio. Woman Suffrage Association in
order to settle the question for the
whole country.
The Taxpayers suit stands in the
name of Edgar L. Weinland of Column
bus, plaintiff. He claims that it will
cost the state at least $4,000 to put
to vote the question which, if carried,
would be null and void.

Connecticut voters are manifesting
an unusual interest in the coming cleo
ton of legislators, due to the ratifca.
ton issue. 1t is reported that the
registrars of voters in nearly all the
towns of the state discovered this I'm
usual interest in the first caucus Ell
rollments of last week.
For several months past the Con-
necticut Temperance Union, which is
analogous to the Anti-Saloon League
in Connecticut, through speakers and
skilled politicians has been urging the
men OF the state who favor the dry
program to enroll for the caucus SO as
to be qualified to work and vote for
the nomination of dry men in every
city and town. 1t is said that in most
towns not hall of the voters on the
check list have been enrolled on the
party caucus lists, and of those who are
enrolled the opinion has been gener-
ally entertained that the majority are
favorable to the vets.
The drys, therefore. as first step in
their program, have been urging their
adherents to enroll this year and after
being enrolled make themselves felt
by vote and influence in the caucuses
Throughout the state thousands of
men have signed cards during the past
six months signifying that they would
get actively into the political game
along this line and the extra work laid
upon the registrars this year has not
been in vain.
In some of the towns the Democrats
have already held senatorial caucuses
and elected their delegates to senator
ial conventions, although no conven-
tons have been held, and they will
probably not be held until next month
after the Republican caucuses have
been held.
The drys have been spending their
efforts on both parties and hope in
many towns in both parties to nomi-
nate candidates that are favorable to
the pending Prohibition amendment to
the federal constitution, which is the
plan upon which they concentrated
their strength.
In the evens that both parties nomi-
nate candidates favoring ratification,
they plan to vote along general party
plans but in the event that only one
party dominates dry men, the drys
stand ready to desert their party and
vote for the candidates pledged for
ratification. In towns where neither
party nominates dry men the Anti
Saloon League stands pledged to nom
mate and elect dry men. The drys in
towns where both parties nominate
dry men, will easily hold the balance
of power this year and slate making is
easy proceeding along this line.

ing rooms, references to Prohibi-
ton wind up with the almost
unanimous expressions: well, |
take a nip myself occasionally,
but they can cut it all out so far
as | am concerned" A few years
ago, says this returned traveller,
the same men spoke only with
contempt of those who advanced
Prohibition. One sometimes hears
a reservation made in favor of
beer and light wine, but it is
usually with the qualification that
if they must go as a war measure
we'll and good.
Prohibition has made its great
est gains when presented as an
economic issue. 1t has taken the
war to impress upon us the great
waste that attends the sale and
consumption OF intoxicants. Be-
fore that the employer who made
continuous sobriety an essential
to employment in his establish
ment was unknowingly, but per-
haps not unwillingly, aiding the
cause of Prohibition. If its bene-
fits to the life of individual estab-
lishments could not be denied
what could be said in opposition to
its application to the whole COM
munity?
Then states demonstrated its
value. Now the nation is appar-
emily about to take the step. We
who have seen the sudden eradi-
cation of the liquor traffic from
Oregon, and endured a brief bust
ness setback only to recuperate
and grow stronger, financially,
commercially and industrially as
a community than we ever were
before look forward to national
Prohibition with equanimity.

Internal Revenue Officers From
Cleveland
Find Saloonists Selling Watered
Whisky
Tn Bottles With Government
Stamps
NO PURE WHISKY is SOLD
Dealers Tone Down Spirits With
Water
And Then Sell Diluted Stuff Very
High
Saloon Men Arrested For Viola
tons and Much Diluted Liquor
Con6scated Bearing Govern
ment L "a bel Guaranteeing
Purity

"A serious inquiry us under way as
to how bottles bearing the govern
ment labels, guaranteeing the purity
OF product and amount of alcoholic
content, could absorb sufficient water
to so dilute the whisky contained in
these government sealed bottles as to
lead to the arrest of saloonkeepers for
selling the diluted whisky
1t transpires that saloonkeepers are
reported watering their whisky and
not only doing SO to the extent that
the stuff is not up to the standard as
measured by the tastes of the rail
barons, but to the extent that Uncle
Sam threatens punishment for viola
ton of his revenue regulations. The
report comes out from Cleveland,
Ohio, that during July revenue officers
in Cleveland have seized as evidence,
more than 200 barrels and hundreds
of bottles of whisky which, though
sold under the seal of the United
States--a seal which guarantees its
quality-has been "cut" with water
Federal regulations prescribe that
bonded whisky be sealed by the gov
eminent.
MANY saloon proprietors, in order
to do business at profit in these
times of greatly increased prices for
liquor" Internal Revenue Collector
Weiss said, "have been adding water
to their whisky.
"This practice is permissible so long
as the liquor is not sold from con-
tainers bearing the United States seal,
which shows its proof or percentage
Of alcohol. The saloon proprietors
are reported to have sold the watered
whisky from the original sealed pack
ages from which the governments
seals had not been removed"
Revenue agents declared that only
in few cafes and saloons in Cleveland
is it now possible to get drink of
uIlWdle1cu WHISKY.
1t seems that the practice of the
Cleveland saloon men bellies their pro-
tests that the strong man needs strong
likker. In fact the plant of the liquor
forces is for the protection of booze
against the inroads of moral, financial,
business and economic pressure which
insists upon the determination of the
traffic in The nation, and while they
are arguing for booze, they dilute their
goods with increasing quantities of
real water which is the very thing in
their protestations they would not
have the men of America use. Their
practice has gone so far that it is pro-
nounced as no longer possible to get
good glass of bourbon or rye. Men
who like to step up to the bar occa-
sionally for a drink of whisky have
been complaining that, in addition to
greatly increased prices for the liquor,
the stuff doesn't taste right.
AS a sequel to complaints came. the
announcement at the Internal revenue
Offices that more than hundred
Cleveland saloon proprietors face stiff
fines and possible imprisonment for il
legal sales of adulterated whisky.
