made by the liquor interests for the
purpose of frightening the people.
1t reads in part as follows:
81 have been reading a report of
the great benefit the commonwealth
of Australia has experienced as re-
suit of closing all bars and places
where alcoholic beverages are sold, at
E p. m. each day According to Arch
bishop Wright, the Anglican Primate
of Australia, the new early-closing
law within the last eight months has
been a great factor in increasing the
war efficiency OF the Australian peo-
pie. The prophecy OF the Australian
liquor dealers that interference with
the pleasures OF the working people
would cause discord has not proven
true. On the contrary, that COM
monwealth has experienced a tree-
dom from broils and harmony OF
puposc unknown before

Prohibition Helps
Decatur

sThe Hon. T. {. Buxton, of Dcca-
tur, former Judge of the Municipal
Court, has given some interesting
testimony as TO the value of Prohibi.
tion to his home city 1t appears in
an article published by the Spring
field Register:
"Decatur was dry four years, then
was wet two years, and has since gone
dry again, this being the second year
of its Prohibition for the second
term.
"Ihe savings depositors in the
banks OF the city have increased 200
during the past year over the year
1910 said Judge BuXton. The Grim
ina cases in the justices courts have
decreased from 100 a week under the
saloon reign to 10 per week under
Prohibition. The building of busi-
ness houses and factories has in
creased 80 per cent The population,
which was $4,000 in 1900, is now
about $4,000. There were 81 per cent
fewer cases of public charity last year
than during the last year of the sa-
looms. The liquor shipped into De-
catur last year was but 10 per cent
of the quantity shipped in the last
year before it went back to the sa-
looms for two years"

Efficiency Society
Endorses Dry Chicago
Bennett of Rockford Tells Benefits of
Prohibition

At meeting of the Western Eff
cheney Society at the Auditorium IN
Chicago OH January Is, resolution
was passed endorsing the campaign to
make Chicago dry as war measure.
This society is composed of efficiency
experts, executives, etc, connected
with large industrial concerns in the
city of Chicago.
One of the speakers commenting
on the dry resolution, said: "Under
war conditions we have enough trou-
blesome factors to deal with without
the booze factor"
Ex-Mayor Bennett OF Rockford ad-
dressed the meeting and told of the
great benefits which have come to his
home city since it adopted the dry
policy. The following are some of
the statements made by Mr.. Bennett:
"All the whisky that the soldiers
at Camp Grant get comes from Beloit
or from Chicago. While I was
Mayor, 81 per cent of the men ar
rested for drunkenness were taken
from the interurban cars coming from
Beloit. Men who formerly lead wet
fights went to Washington to plead
for the location of the military camp
at Rockford because the city was dry
and free from vice. Under Prohibition
Rockford has grown from city of
45,401 in 1910, to city of over co.
600. This does not count the in
creased population because of Camp
Grant One hundred and fifty-eight
of 100 retailers who were members
of the Business Mems Association
voted dry at the last election"
In connection with his address, Mr..
Bennett read statements from dozen
or more Rockford manufacturers, all
strongly endorsing Prohibition from
an industrial standpoint.

Fighting Liquor
Not Unpatrioti'

1t becomes more and more evident
that the liquor interests, in heir fights
for existence, are to take refuge be-
hind the plea not 10 be raising any
questions during the war, but TO get
behind the government" The man
who would deprecate taking wartime
as the time to purge our country OF
its very worst evil might as consist
entity deprecatc man choosing the
time of mortal illness TO set himself
right spiritually. If he delayed un-
til the time for death summons TO
square things with his Creator, the
clergyman would advise him to do it
then. If we have waited until we
are at war to clean up our country
by eliminating the liquor business,
then by all means let's clean up be-
fore we go any further. We have a
mans sized job on our hands right
now. Even wet newspapers have
been admitting, such as the St Louis
Republic recently, that the liquor
business has been the harbor for pro-
German plotting in this country.
Only now is the widow of the chief
owner of great brewing concern
coming back to this country from
Germany, where she has been stay
ing, and it stands to reason she must
have had much influence in Germany
to have been enabled to get out and
come back to this country. No one
should become bcfuddled by the cry
to keep hands off the liquor interests
because we are at war. Now is the
time to strip ourselves of the greatest
national encumbrance. = Alton Tele-
graph.

DiscOrd Prediction
Is Not Proven True
Experience of Australia Shows Peo-
pie Do Not Become Discontinued

In practically every anti-liquor CAM
paign during recent years, the wet
have predicted that dissatis-
faction, disorder, discomfort and even
riots would result from Prohibition.
This prediction was made in Con-
gress while the national amendment
was being considered 1t was made
in every statewide dry campaign. 1t
was made in regard to closing the sa-
looms in Chicago on Sundays. No
where has this prediction come true
in all the villages, cities, states and
nations which have adopted prohib-
itory regulations, Even in far off
Australia the same prediction of dis
contentment was made and proven
false by the actual results. In let
ter sent by the Rev. James Empring-
ham, general superintendent OF the
Episcopal Church Temperance So
ciety, to Albert H. Wiggin, fuel ad-
for New York city, the
former adds another bit of testimony

Pastor Opposes
Opening Saloons
Objects to Bringing Back Bars to
City of Freeport

Speaking of the movement to bring
saloons back to Freeport, the Rev.
d. l.. McNary, pastor of the First
Presbyterian Church, at a union meet
ing OH recent Sunday morning, said
in part:
Housewives of our city have rem
dered most valuable patriotic service
by the economies they have prac-
ticed and the priyations they have
accepted without complaint. Do these
women propose signing this petition
to bring back the saloons? Not only
will they have less money for bread
and fewer comforts in their homes
when their husbands spend their
money i'll the saloon, but they must
realize that the saloon will waste
more money than all their patriotic
economies can save.
We have Our "mcatless days and
our "wheatless days" which we OBJ
serve scrupulously as our bit toward
winning the war. Why not have our
''drinkless days" and have seven OF
them each week? Intoxicating drinks
are not necessary for either the health
or happiness or wealth of our homes.
Indeed there is no single thing that
has so impaired those three qualities
of the home as has drink With Gen
eral Pershing asking that liquor be
kept away from our army with Lloyd
George telling Great Britain thar
drink is a more deadly foe than Ger
man bullets, with Theodore Roosevelt
changing his mind about the matter
because of letters he gets from his
sons over in France and telling US
We must Rave a f'rohibition nation to
win the war, why should the citizens
of Freeport be so disloyal to the best
interests of our nation as to sign a
petition to reintroduce this most
prodigal of all wasters?
Freeport is only some 80 miles
from Camp Grant 1t is a we'll known
fact that one OF the important consid-
erations in the selection of that loca-
ton for the cantonment was the fact
that Rockford and the surrounding
country was without saloons. Shall
we now establish saloons in Freeport
that we may induce the soldier boys
to come here on their furloughs
That would be fine type OF patriot
isml Let us do all in our power to
keep them sober instead of tempting
them to drink

Farmers FAVOR
Dry Nation

When Congress passed the resolu-
ton agreeing to submit to the states
an amendment to the constitution
providing for national Prohibition,
there was general rejoicing among
the advocates of dry state for Illi-
nois. The dry leaders of the state
will at once get busy for the battle to
carry this amendment in this state.
The farmers of Illinois will look
forward with interest to the vote on
this question. As a class, they are
dry and have no use for "booze." The
quicker it is voted out of existence,
the better it will be for them and
their sons. 1t is the farmers that
have placed practically every state in
the dry column. SO the farmer will
take part in this fight. They wanted
a chance to vote on the question last
year, but the Legislature turned them
down. We do not believe it will dare
do so again.-lllinois Farmer, Janu-
ary IS.

The village of Madison, a spot in
Madison county which has more sa-
looms per capita than any other place
in the county, and where vice has
reigned unchallenged until States At
torney Streuber got busy and began
to throw the fear OF the law into the
hearts of some of the law breakers, is
broke. The wettest place in the whole
Twenty-second Congressional District
is Madison, and the Twenty-second
District is the biggest black spot on
the local option map OF Illinois, out
side of Chicago. Just why Madison
should be broke with all the immense
income it receives from saloons is
something that we cannot understand.
We have been led to believe that the
more saloon license the more prosper
ous a community is.-Springheld (Ill)

T,Uo More States
Vote to Ratjfv

South Carolina has become the
fourth state to ratify the National
Constitutional Amendment. On Jan
uary 25, North Dakota, as the first
northern state, made the total FIVE
states in favor of national Prohibition
The vote in North Dakota, which has
been a dry state for many years, in
dicates how successful and popular
the Prohibition policy is there. In
the House, the vote was o6 to 10, and
in the Senate, 43 votes were cast for
and only three against ratification. In
South Carolina the vote in the lower
House was 6S to 2o and in the Senate
28 to 6.

Nations Wrath Aroused by
Unfairness to Children
BOOZE WASTES MUCH COAL
Beer for Chicago Takes Half Million
Tons Of Coal
DRINK HINDERS MINERS

With the schools closed for lack of
coal while the open saloons were
wasting thousands OF tons, the wrath
of the nation was thoroughly aroused
agaist the liquor trade. All over the
country the people have voiced their
protests against the unfairness and
injustice of doing irreparable injury to
the children by checking their moral,
mental and physical training while
the wasteful and unnecessary sa-
looms use thousands of tons OF fuel.
The coal shortage making necessary
the closing OF industries, stores and
churches as we'll as schools has
awakened the people as never before
10 the wastefulness OF the liquor
traffic.

Saloons in Politics

The elimination of the saloon in
states that have already adopted Pro-
hibition promises political changes of
the utmost Importance in municipal
affairs. The saloon is the most fa-
miliar and the most mischievous of
all the outposts and rallying centers
of political venality. Here the politi-
cal Organization" maintains its faith
full sentinels throughout the year, the
good citizens, intent upon his lawful
business and interested in politics
only when election day approaches, is
usually unaware that hundreds of bar
room loafers are constantly plotting
agains him.-Meredith Nicholson, in
Scribner's Magazine.

here now, and no shutdown of indus
tries.
The estimated loss to business and
labor in Chicago for the IA days
shutdown because of the fuel situation
is $S,000,000 day. That means the
100000 tons of coal used by the liquor
business i'll Chicago is costing the
people of Chicago 1924 ton.
Industries, stores, Offices, schools,
etc, are closed in order to save coal
That is, we are saving coal iii order
to save breweries and saloons. They
arc using coal that ought to be
used to help win the war. We are
forced to save coal in order that brew
cries and saloons may continue to
have coal.
