There's wondrous lot of power
In an honest wholesome smile;
It often starts a blessing
That will travel for mile.
Why, when hearts are sad and heavy
And the days are dark the while,
You can notice that things brighten
From the moment that you smile.

The ENEMY'S FRIEND

Liquor is the friend of the enemy
in this war. In Philadelphia it is
claimed sailors taken to resorts and
supplied with liquor, under its inhu
ence, have been persuaded to talk
freely of conditions at the navy yard
and to give information of vessels,
the departure of transports and the
number of men aboard them, together
with other facts that have proven use
full to persons engaged in hampering
war work and helping in the plans of
the enemy. -ss.'.-- :.

of this information has been useful to
the German submarine campaign. and
is one principal reason for the gov

Wet Campaign
Is Explained

The April 20 number of the Cham
pion of Fair Play, official organ OF
the Illinois saloonkeepers, contains
an article telling how the vets won
the fight in Alton. For years wet
campaigns were conducted under
some name which would make the
organization seem to represent the
citizens in general, instead of merely
the liquor interests This was not
done in Alton. Speaking of the wet
campaign manager there, the Cham
pion says:
Upon his arrival no time was
wasted in trying to perfect dummy
organization to father the campaign,
the reason being that everybody
knows who pays for the wet propa-
ganda Municipal leagues, citizens
leagues. taxpayers associations, lib
erty clubs, ETC., are all form of
camouflage that has long since out
lived its usefulness. Every official ut
terance or act was stood for by the
Alton Liquor Dealers Association. !"

Anti-Booze Sermon
Results in Arrest
On VETS Charges
Words of Preacher Who Used Amer
lean Issue Editorial For Text
Held Not Disloyal

Last February the Rev. ]. Bannon
Swope, pastor of the Trinity English
Lutheran church OF Chicago Heights,
preached sermon against booze In
the course of his sermon he read an
article from the February 10 number
OF the American. Issue, National Edi-
ton. referring to the amount OF grain
wasted by the brewers to make beer
As a result of this sermon, Kew
Swope was arrested on charge OF
having violated the espionage act, and
for several hours was held prisoner
at the federal building in Chicago.
After telling his case he was released
and an investigation was commenced
by federal officers.
On April Is Rev. Swope's case came
TO trial before L. S. Commissioner
Mason. Former Governor Charles D.
Deneen, attorney for Rev. Swope, de-
Tending his client, said: when the
,nastor came to Chicago Heights he
was warned to keep off the grass as
far as the liquor question was con-
cerncd. He did for a long time and
there was peace. He preached one
Prohibition sermon and trouble be-
gan. Mrs. Joseph Ehrhardt, wife OF
a saloonkeeper, an attendant at the
church, was angered because her hus-
bands saloon was closed on Sunday.
Che said it was the best day OF the
week."
After hearing the testimony OF
many witnesses in connection with
the case, the commissioner decided
that charges of disloyalty were UNI
founded, and that Rev. Swope was
innocent of the charges made. This
case is another example of how far
the liquor interests will go to keep
preachers from telling the truth about
the liquor business. They do not hes
itate to use kaiser methods to protect
the autocratic alcohol business.

RESOLUTION OF
REPUBLICAN STATE
CENTRAL COMMITTEE
Republicans In Meeting Pass Resolu-

In Winning the War.

The following is copy OF resolution
unanimously adopted by the Republic
can State Central Committee at its
meeting held in Louisville August 16,
1918:
Members of the Republican State
Central Committee, and other Repub-
licans of Kentucky, in conference in
Louisville, Friday August 10th, 1918,
assembled primarily to discuss sub
jects related to the approaching No
vember election, desire at this time
to give voice to their conviction that
while the highest interest of the ma
ton demands that we maintain our
party organization and participate
periodically in all elections, the first
duty of Americans today is to win the
war, consecrating to this cause their
energies and their resources. without
stint, and without regard to the ma
ture of the sacrifices required, and we
here and now pledge anew to the
President of the United States and
those associated with him our undi
vided allegiance and aid.
1--WE commend most heartily the
patriotic service rendered by the Re-
publication Senators and Representa-
tives in the National Congress. Their
support of the great war measures
has been a source of extraordinary
strength for the President and the
government and of great moral value
to the country at large We call up
on the Republicans of Kentucky. and
upon all citizens, regardless of par
ty lines, to elect as their representa-
tive in the national councils men
whose loyalty cannot successfully be
assai1ed.
1--WE are further of opinion that in
urging the election of the Republi
can nominees this fall we are serving
the best interests of the country.
Their high character. ability and pa
triotism fairly entitle them to the
confidence of the people. The his
tory of the Republican party in the
nation, especially during periods of
extraordinary peril, is a record of
achievements which give evidence of
the Hottest patriotism and the high
est qualities of craftsmanship"
