BAR PERMITS
HELP THE KAISER

Safeguarding the physical and
moral well-being of the nations sol
diers and sailors is an important duty
of the federal government. Chicago
must not become a party to the
placing OF special temptations before
these young men. By permitting
questionable organizations to give
dances at which liquor is sold until
5 O'Clock in the morning it aids in
dragging down inexperienced boys
whom the national peril has taken
away from the restraining influences
OF their homes and relatives.
This is a shameful piece OF service
for the German kaiser The city coun-
Gil cannot defend it. Its guilt cannot
be evaded. The bar permit evil will
have to be abolished 1t cannot be

toned, to congratulate the people of

BARLEYCORN OESN It
KEEP HIS AGREEMENTS

Bloomington decision to Gust sa-
looms, it is said, was due to the fact
that John Barleycorn failed to keep
his covenant with the voters of that
city. Bad faith in the conduct of
his business was the indictment
against him.
When Bloomington went wet two
years ago, it did so with the under
standing that the returning saloon
would be conducted in strict accord
ance with the law and that its evils
would be eliminated. Rigid restric-
tons were imposed, and to their close
observance the leaders of the liquor
interests pledged themselves.
The agreement was broken. Wet
leaders could not, or would not, con-
troll their followers. The business,
while showing Improvement foE a
period, again began running at loose
ends. Again it became obnoxious
and hateful to majority OF the peo-
pie The experience was similar to
that of Decatur, where an attempt
to run reformed" saloons fell down
a few years ago. 1t paralleled the
experience of numerous smaller
towns which have entered into truces
with John Barleycorn, only to regret
them. John is like the kaiser-he re-
CARDS treaties as mere scraps of paper.

Vets Fight For
Special Permits
Wish Liquor Sales Continued at
Dances in Chicago

The Chicago anti-cabaret ordinance
will become a law on May |. This
measure divorces liquor from caba-
rets and dances. AT the meeting Of
the Chicago council last Monday
night the question of special bar per-
mits came up for consideration. 1t
is understood that Secretary of the
Navy Daniels wishes to secure better
protection for sailors from the Great
Lakes Naval Training station while
they are on leave in Chicago.
While Secretary Daniels was in the
city, Bishop Fallows, in behalf of
delegation representing various patri-
Otto and reform organizations, adj
dressed Secretary Daniels relative to
better protection for soldiers and
sailors. He said: Ten thousand men
in uniform walk the streets of Chi
csgo each week. They are in CON
stad temptation by 5000 dance halls,
where liquor is sold from 3 o'clock
in the afternoon until o'clock in the
morning by virtue of the special bar
permits" The vets in the council
are fighting to protect the special bar
permit ordinance. They offer to pass
measure imposing various restric-
tions upon the sale of liquor at bar
permit dances. The fight for con-
tinued selling of liquor in Chicago
dance halls is receiving the help of
the united societies. There is no ap-
parent disposition on the part of the
united societies to take any steps
against the sale of liquor which are
not forced by threats that the federal
government will use its power to close
all places where liquor is being sold,

Pennsy Diners Dry
Since April First

The sale OF Intoxicating liquors on
the dining cars of the Pennsylvania
lines west OF Pittsburg was discon-
tinucd on April |, This makes the

OF Pittsburg having discontinued the
sale of liquors several years ago.
This is another indication of the
advance of Prohibition sentiment
throughout the nation. Illinois rail-

years ago, after the Anti-Saloon

Liquor Revenue Loss
Says Noted Economist

Regarding the wet argument that
liqour contributes large revenue to
the nation, state and city, Prof. IT.
wing Fisher says: The argument is
wholly fallacious. The sum total OF.
the government revenue comes out
OF the national dividend Of produced
goods, and the liquor traffic does not
add TO but on the contrary subtracts
from that dividend
This national dividend is now
about $70O00,0o0,0O0 a year, of which
S2000,00o,000 are wasted in liquor. II
the saloons were crossed the $1,000
G00,000 would be set free for some
thing else, some useful articles OF
consumption Prohibition would not
reduce the volume of taxable goods,
but would simply substitute other

BUSINESS POOR; QUITS
Hotel Selling Booze at Red Lion, Pa,
Closes It's Doors Because Trade
Has Fallen OFF

When residents OF 1;ed Lion, Pa.
awoke the other morning, they found
the Rising Sun Hotel closed and the
proprietor, ]. J. Bishop missing.
Investigation revealed that Bishop
had moved his stock and furniture
the night previous to Baltimore,
without having made any effort to
get his license renewed. A falling off
in the liquor trade, it is said, caused
Bishop suddenly to withdraw from
the hotel business.

ALIEN ENEMIES WET

The ruling OF the Missouri attorney
general that enemy aliens residing in
Missouri will not be allowed a vote
in any election has disheartened the
opponents of Prohibition, who realize
that the 10000 votes affected by the
ruling represent a considerable part
of the usual majority against Prohi
bition in the state, says the Christian
Science Monitor.
Read the foregoing again and think
it over. When the liquor traffic loses

How Dry Rockford
Helps Army Camp
Make Fine Record
Health Best in Nation and Discipline
Extraordinary

Camp Grant, located near dry
Rockford, now leads all army camps
from the standpoint OF health. The
non-effective rate for the week end
ing Friday, April IL, was 20 per thou
sand, much lower than any record
elsewhere. About 10000 men have
lived at Camp Grant since its estab-
lishment. Another indication of the
good conditions at and about Camp
Grant is the high state of discipline
which exists among the soldiers. On
a recent morning reports showed
only eight soldiers absent without
leave. There can be no doubt that
much of the credit for these satisfac-
tory conditions must go to the fact
that the men are SO we'll protected
against Intoxicating liquors.
