One of the war wonders is the fact
that the sinking sunflower, a weed

A committee on resolutions was ap-
pointed by the Board of Directors of
the Anti-Saloon League, consisting of
one member from each state. This
committee appointed a subcommittee
consisting OF DR.. P. A. Baker, Ernest
H Cherrington and Bishop James
Cannon, Jr. Resolutions drawn up
were adopted by the Board of Direc-
tors and affirmed by the conference.
These resolutions congratulated the
Congress of the United States upon
passage of the Wartime Prohibition
amendment and President Wilson Tor
his signature to the same.
Continued attention to the selection
of lawmakers and executives who will
carry out the mandates of the Amcri-
can people expressed by the ratfca-
ton of the Prohibition amendment
which now seems assured, was urged.
1t was pointed out that the task of
securing a sober nation is not ended
with the ratification OF the amend
ment; that it only declares the gen.
eral policies of the nation and that
policies are not enforced without pen
alties. Therefore, the obligation rests
with Congress and with the several

Chicago Can Save
Over II Millions
Now Wastes More Than Liquor
Traffic PAYS in Revenues

At least $1l, 100000 could be saved
by the cit of Chicago by readjust-
ment of the city's finances. A report
made by A. B. Segur, formerly en-
gineer in charge of the efficiency di-
vision of the city controllers office,
shows in detail how these savings
could be made. His study of various
city departments shows that more
employees than necessary are hired
and that they receive more pay than
is given for similar work in other en-
tcrprises. For example, in connection
with the Municipal Court, it is esti-
mated that $4,000 can be saved. In
relation to this item, one of the judges
in the Municipal Court states that
when he first took his seat as judge
he had one assistant. Now he has
one-third fewer cases and has eleven
assistants. The unnecessary employees
are job holders placed into their posi-
tons by the political organizations.
In addition to the estimated possible
saving of eleven and one-half millions
pointed out by efficiency engineer
Segur, another good suggestion has
been made. 1t is to take the clerks
who usually are busy doing political
work on election day and have them
act as clerks and judges of election.
There can be no doubt that with the
elimination of ineficiency, corruption
and extravaganza in connection with
administering the city government,
many millions of dollars can be saved.
The experience of large cities which
have gone dry is that the resulting
efficiency and honesty in city govern
ment, much more than makes up for
any loss in liquor revenues. There
is no reason to believe that Chicago
will be an exception to the rule when
National Prohibition goes into effect.

Why Figures
Sometimes Lie

A Chicago police sergeant was re-
turned to his desk in the Central Po-
lice Station after having been trans
ferred to another post. The news
item telling about it says, The red
headed sergeant became beloved
through his leniency TO those who had
imbibed unwisely. He always had a
theory that home was a better place
to recover than hard CELL" Possibly
when Prohibition goes into effect
every drunk discovered will be ar
rested and the vets will point to the
figures as proof that more drunken
ness exists under the dry rule.
The American issue. [volume] (Westerville, Ohio) 1912-19??, 1918-11-29

Assurances OF sympathy and good
will were pledged to the organizations
represented by delegates from other
lands and a pledge of fullest possible
cooperation in helping to bring about
the ultimate extinction OF the traffic
in all lands was made.
The Executive Committee of the
Anti-Saloon League of America was
authorized to formulate and carry into
effect plans and methods for the eff
Gent cooperation OF the Anti-Saloon
League with temperance and Prohihi-
ton workers in the different countries
in the formation of an international
League for the determination of the
beverage liquor traffic throughout the
world and the committee was author
lied to render such immediate assist
ance, financial and otherwise. rs it
may deem proper and advisable in
promoting Prohibition organization
and work in other countries. Before
the Anti-Saloon League officially joins
in any call for the organization of
such League the plan is to be sub
mitted to the Board of Directors for
approval. The resolutions follow.

diers and sailors when they reach the
United States and to that end it was
recommended that general order II
be strengthened at once by striking
out the exemption as to light wine
and beer, thus prohibiting by direct
order the purchase, possession or &C
ceptancc as gift OF all kinds of in
toxicatng liquors.
1t was respectfully asked that the
American government, either through
the Department of State or through
the naval military authorities, request
the governments of Great Britain and
France to issue an order prohibiting
the sale OF all intoxicants by residents
of those countries to American SOL
diers and sailors in Uniform in defer
ence to the standard established by
the United States, not only for the
army and navy but for the entire
American people after July l. 1919. To
this end the Legislative Committee OF
the Anti-Saloon League of America
was instructed to present the action OF
this body to the proper departments
OF government and to put forth all ap-
propriate efforts to secure the desired
result.

Brewers Boycott,
Buy Newspapers,
and Paw Writers

Further testimony, showing the Sc
cret political practices of the liquor
dealers is being produced at the inves-
tigation by Senate committee in
Washington. Recently evidence was
produced, showing that the liquor in
terests purchased the Montgomery,
Alabama, Advertiser which was the
leading factor in the fight against rati-
fcation in Alabama. 1t has also been
shown that the President of the United
States Brewers Association gave
financial assistance to the Newark
N. J., Ledger to the extent of $l50,000
The hiring of writers to furnish ar
ticles in favor of drinking to maya
zines and newspapers was one of the
practices of the Brewers Association
John Koren of New York who wrote
matter published in the Atlantic
Monthly, was given regular salary,
said to be $4,000 a year, by the brew
ers. DR.. Edward H. Williams, the au-
thor of articles published in medical
and other journals, and u. G. Rice
were also shown to have been on the
pay roll of the brewers. The extern
sive boycotting system of the liquor
dealers was brought to light in the
course of the investigation. Many
business firms were blacklisted for
taking parts in Prohibition fights.
Among the big firms blacklisted were
Cadillac Company, H. ]. Heinz Com
pany, the John Wanamaker Co., the
Packard, and REQ automobile COM
.panies and others. The American
Rolling Mills, Ohio, was listed because
of poster against the use of liquor by
its employees,
The Blackstone Hotel of Chicago
was listed because it did not join
other hotels in protesting against the
Sunday closing order.
The Delaware, Lackawanna and
Western Railroad Company was listed
because of the PRONUNCIATION of an
order against the use of liquor by its
employees.
Testimony before the committee
brought out the fact that United
States Brewers Association and the
National Wholesale Liquor Dealers
Association gave $42,633 to the Ger
man-American Alliance from Octo-
Der, 1918, to June, 1915. They also
gave $4,000 to the American Leader
representing the foreign language
press of the country. Many other in
teresting revelations are expected to
be made during the hearing as the
committee is determind to fully inves-
tigate activities of the liquor interests.

The unparalleled opportunity pre-
scented by existing world conditions is
such as has never before been pre-
sented in the Christian era. For the
moral forces to fail to grasp the sig-
nihcance of the opportunity thus pre-

AVIATION AS MEANS

Aviation as a means of transpor-
tation for commercial purposes was
discussed in a paper read by D. Lo-
rcnzo Santoni, president of the Aero
nautical section Of the National Sci
entific and Technical committee for
the development of Italian industries.
After reviewing the marvellous de-
velopment in the production of fly
ing machines resulting from the war,
Signor Santoni says that after the
war two branches of aviation will be
followed one devoted to sport and
experimentation, which may attain
limits hitherto undreamed cf. An
other type of apparatus. destined for

speed, which may be restricted to

than the novelty and audacity of the
idea would lead a superficial observ-
er to think.
