Says Editor Trubshaw Of The VAL

We are looking for a great in
crease in influenza cases since
Judge Robinson says whisky is
necessary as a medicine and At
torney General LANCER has sus-
pended the state prohibition law.
The Mountrail County Promoter
discusses the ultimate end Of the
single tax as follows:
The Socialists are in favor Of
the single tax amendment, be-
cause their idea Is that all lands
should belong to the state.
Therefore they want the single
tax adopted. Because if that
amendment is adopted every land
owner in the state will finally:
have to relinquish his farm to
the state. The poor farmer will
be the first to go under the aver
age farmer will be next and then
the more well-to-do farmer with
the land Spectator last. Thus the
Socialists propose to get all lands
to revert to the state. You say,
no. we do not want that, we are
against it. Well, then vote
against it on November 5. Vote
NO on those amendments.

NEWS AND COMMENTS.

Mr.. Calderwood. National party
candidate in Minnesota for senator,
accepted the Nonpartisan league en-
dorseent with the result that his own
party deserted him. Being a Non
party nominee in Minnesota isn't
nearly the, joy similar recognition
holds in North Dakota.
The Austrian armistice terms
should give the Germans something
to think aobut. for the Allied coun-
ell isn't likely to be any less severe
with Kaiser Wilhelm than 1t was
with Emperor Charles.
The Minot printers who withdrew
from the State Federation of Labor
because of that body's surrender to
the Nonpartisan Socialists at least
must be given credit for speaking
out in public meeting"
And the appeal by IS farmers OF
Trail and Grand Forks counties al
so indicates that the 'Nonpartisan
league doesn't hold a 100 per cent
rural membership record, as its
loudest supporters would sometimes
lead one to believe.

since war suddenly rconscripted
science. Now when 1t is a germ as
well as a German that threatens the
safety of our homes, scientists, al
most despised, certainly unheeded
and unprovided for before, are ap-
pealed to suddenly to meet the need.

ANNUAL REPORTS
SHOW BENEFIT OF
SPRINGFIELD DRY
Total Arrests During 1917 Dry
Months Almost so Per Cent Less
Than Same Wet Months
in 1916

Official records show considerable
improvement along many lines dur
ing the year of 1917 in Springfield.
Violent deaths in Sangamon county
decreased 20 per cent compared with
1916. The ratio of marriages to di-
vorces decreased from 6 to | in 1916
to Il to ! in 1917, a decrease of 30
per cent. Arrests decreased about
20 per cent. Arrests for drunkenness
show marked falling off, there be-
ing 2,100 for that cause in 1916 and
only 1900 during the year of 1917,
with the saloons closed beginning in
May.
The total number of all deaths in
1917 was increased over the preced-
ing year. The record, however,
shows that the total number of
deaths during each dry month was
lower than the total during any wet
month in the same year. A study of

Therefore, be it resolved that the
Illinois Conference of the Evangeli-

humb1y petition and urgently request
the United States Congress to iinme-
diately enact Prohibition of the liq-

that this sinful waste and destruc-

and man-power be stopped during the
period of war and at least one year
thereafter.
And be it further resolved that a
copy of this resolution be sent to
the members of the United States

Liquor Puts Men
in Naval Prison

E. w. Hearne, executive secretary
northeastern department national
war work council, says: Recent Wis
its to the naval prison at Portsmouth
where Thomas Mott Osborne is now
the commandant, reveal that the men
coming back to serve sentences from
the fleet overseas have run afoul of
navy discipline through over staying
leave and in other ways, largely be-
cause of liquor in the ports.
81 have talked with many army and
navy doctors and others in a position
to know who have frequently esti-
mated that so per cent of the social
diseases which incapacitate men for
service relate directly to liquor.
"Another great step is needed, and
nothing short of national Prohibition
that will put the use of liquor en-
tirely out of our whole life will cover
the needs of this hour"

1917 gives convincing proof of the
improvement brought. about by the
closing of the saloons, After the
saloons were closed, arrests of boot
leggers had tendency to increase
the total, while the decline i'll drunk
enness very materially decreased the
number of arrests. The total of all
arrests for 1916, all wet, was 4.2l5,
compared to 200 in 1917, partly dry.

ties as loyal and patriotic citizens in
voting for men in their respective dis
tricts at tie primary, September II,
and at the election, November 5, 1918,
for state Legislature, that will ratify
the national Prohibition amendment

the immortal SO states that stand for
the destruction of the most unpatri

America, the legalized saloon and liq-
uor traffic.
And be it further resolved that the
churches give their moral and fnan-
cial support to the Anti-Saloon
League of our state in carrying on
