Illinois is the third state of the ma
ton with the second city of the coun-
try within its borders. Will this state
ratify the proposed amendment? There
is little doubt that if this state was
free from the discredited system OF
c,ecting Legislators by the three
votes-for-one method our state Legis-
fs.to:a 4. lid i..sliy tac proposed Pro-
hibition amendment. If Illinois re-
jects it the result may fairly be
ascribed to minority representation.
In most of the smaller states the
Prohibition forces should have an
even chance of success on the ratih-
cation issue. He would be a rash
prophet indeed who would predict that
the proposed Prohibition amendment
stands no chance of ratification by sc
states within the coming seven years.

Experience indicates that this is

hard to get Congress to act on such a

this sort were submitted to Congress
during the first hundred years of our
history. Few of them ever reached the

fewer still had the slightest chance OF
securing submission. After Congress
has acted, however, the probabilities

m1It. The part played BY the liquor
: :. iss-. ~ sss rsest d;sas sxtsii . ff.;s
in the history of Illinois is agai testi-
fed to by members of the House of
Representatives who are quoted in
the following article from the East St.
Louis Journal;
Members of the special Congress
sional committee which investigated
the July race riot stated yesterday at
Washington that they were influenced
in their vote for national Prohibition
by the awfulness of the East St. Louis
saloon situation, as revealed to them
during their five weeks inquiry here.
There was great deal of testimony
at the hearings connecting public Off
cials with vice that was practiced
mostly around saloons, and there was
much other testimony of the activity
of the saloons in politics.
Congressman John f. Raker, of
California, the most vigorous inquirer
ON the committee, said that evidence
OF saloon-controlled politics in East
ST Louis absolutely confirmed his
prior information and knowledge, and
made him more certain in his duty to
vote for the proposed Prohibition
constitutional amendment.
"The East ST LOUIS situation is a
typical example, thoroughly staged,
and not player absent" he stated.
Congressman George Edmund Foss
of Chicago said, 81 have been in favor
of Prohibition for some time, but, of
course, the East St. Louis situation
confirmed my previous conclusions" :"
Chairman Ben Johnson of Kentucky
declared, 81 have always voted for
Prohibition" The other members of
the committee are Henry Cooper, of
Wisconsin, and Martin d. Foster, Illi-
nois.
The Congressman commented many
times during the hearing on the power
of saloons in East St. Louis, and of
the high-handed manner in which
some of them ignored the law.
Congressman Raker, of California,
is further quoted in this connection
by the St. Louis Post-Dispatch as
follows:
There was complete subjugation
of law and order, with those higher
up prohtirg from whisky and corrup-
tion," Congressman Raker said: "The
East St. Louis method of running sa-
looms is primarily responsible for the
inception and maintenance of graft
and maladministration there. The
rounder protects the saloonkeeper,
who buys from the brewery, which
does business with the officials.

Wet Paper Admits Defeat

The Champion OF Fair Play, organ
OF retail liquor trade, takes a pessi-
mistic view of the future and indi-
rectly admits that a dry nation is now
certain. Incidentally it gives the AMI
Saloon League high praise for its ef-
fciency. The Champions article on
the passage of the Amendment ap-
pears under the heading "Anti-Sa-
loon League, You Crack the Whip
WE'LL and Statesmen Hop When Your
Whip Cracks. You Know Your Busi-
ness" Then it says: "Our compli-
ments to the Anti-Saloon League for
its efficiency and knowledge of the
Congressional heart and the value
placed by that heart upon its salary
We are not able to congratulate the
workmen told that ice water is to be
their diet. And we are not able to
congratulate the United States which
in due course will be put upon basis
of illicit whisky, complicated by habit
forming drugs"
Though admitting that its cause is
doomed the Champion still clings tc
the old arguments completely discred-
tied by the vote on the Amendment
