Eject of War on Federal Power.

In discussing the raison d'etre OF
his new book. Federal Power: Its
Growth and Necessity" Mr.. Henry
Litchfield West, the author, for many
years in close touch with government
tai and political activities. says:
Long ago ! became impressed with
the fact that important legislation.
broadening the field of federal activi-
ties and thereby increasirs. federal
power. was being constantly enacted.
With the declaration Of war against
Germany the application of federal
authority was invoked to the highest
degree. and it seemed to me both op-
perfume and wise to probe deep into
the national consciousness with the
view Of determining whether the tre-
mendous advance was radical or evo-
lutionary. In seeking an answer to
this question I found that no one had
ever attempted to present the growth
OF federal power from A panoram mic
point of view. The door for a new
work stood invitingly open. I began

Chicago Quits Giving
Dance Bar Permits
City Council Heeds Daniels Request
to Stop Liquor Sale at Dances

On May 6, the Chicago city council
voted to suspend special bar permits
for the duration OF the war. The vote
was unanimous, even Alderman
Coughlin and Kenna, of the first
ward, voting for the suspension order
The proposal to repeal the ordinance
permanently abolishing the issuance
of special bar permits at dances was
lost by a vote of 81 to 18. When the
Chicago council, about six weeks ago,
voted to divorce the sale of liquor
from dancing and other entertain
ment features in cabarets bar permit
dances were stopped. This situation
was brought to the attention OF Sec
retary of the Navy Daniels, who
made it known that he desired, in be-
half of the 10000 young men in train
ing at Great Lakes that the sale of
liquor at dances be stopped. Alder
man Joseph Kostner visited Secretary
Daniels at Washington for the pur-
pose, it is said, OF securing his con-
sent to retain bar permit regulations
proposed to prevent evils complained
of in connection with bar permit
dances instead of repeating the ordi-
nance. 1t is understood that numer-
Gus Chicago social organizations de-
sired the continuance of the privi-
lege to sell liquor at their dances.
Secretary Daniels, however, made it
clear that nothing less than total
abolition of bar permit dances would
be satisfactory to the Navy Depart
ment. The ordinance suspending bar
permits during the war was signed at
once by Mayor Thompson and be-
came effective Immediately.

United Societies Are
Asked to Save Beer
Does Brewers Bidding, as Did Ger
man-American Alliance

Referring to the effect of the anti
cabaret ordinance the Chicago Tri-
bune in news report says:
Turn to Soft Drinks
A. ]. Cermak, secretary of the
United Societies, who is credited
with being the prime mover in
the anti-cabaret legislation at the
request of the brewery interests,
declared he believed a majority
of the cabarets would operate on
the soft drink basis.
This seems to indicate that the
United Societies is a servant of the
brewers in Chicago, just as the Ger
man-American Alliance was their tool
and instrument in other places. The
brewers tried to prove their patriot
ism by taking steps against cabarets
where little beer is sold, but when
Secretary Daniels asked to have bar
permits discontinued at dances, the
brewers opposed such action. Beer is
the popular beverage at bar permit
dances.

Chicago Cabarets
Are Now Closed
Liquor Sales Continue But Cabaret
Attractions Are Discontinued

The Chicago anti-cabaret ordinance
went into effect on midnight May 6.
Over one thousand places were af-
fected by this ordinance, which was
passed after an intimation to men,
bers of the city council that the gov-
ernment would stop the sale of liq-
uor throughout the city unless caba-
rets were closed for the benefit of
soldiers and sailors visiting Chicago.
About 200 of the places affected by
the anti-cabaret ordinance had caba-
ret entertainments as their main at
traction; the balance of the places
were back-room affairs operated in
connection with saloons. Under the
present ordinance no form of enter
tainment will be permitted in places
where liquor is sold, except instru-
mental music by special permit. 1t is
expected that the larger cabarets will
retain their entertainment features
and in the future sell only soft drinks.
The great majority of places, how
ever, will dispense with entertainment
of all kind and continue selling in
toxicating liquors. An Interpretation
of the ordinance by the city law de-
partment suggests the possibility of
selling liquor in another room adjoin-
ing but separated by wall or door.

Licenses Given.
to -Four Saloons
Near U. S. Camps
Lake County Supervisors Disregard
U. S. Pleas and License Bars
Near Line

By vote OF 18 to 7, the Lake County
Board of Supervisors recently voted
to license four saloons at Half Day in
Burton township. The saloons are
located seven miles by road from the
Great Lakes Naval Training Station.
The direct distance is 81 miles, or
lust outside of the federal hve-mile
dry zone.
Raymond Fosdick, head of the COM
mission which has acted for the gov
ernment in investigating conditions
near military posts, in letter, urged
the board to act in harmony with the
wishes of federal authorities. Samuel
insult, chairman of the State Council
of Defense, also urged the board not
to relicense saloons at Half Day. Col.
Samuel B. Buckhardt at the request
of General Barry appeared in person
before the board and asked them to
minimize the temptation from drink
by refusing to grant saloon licenses
to the places at Half Day. He said,
1--WE appeal to your patriotism to
keep the saloons out OF Half Day"
A year ago Colonel Nicholson,
then commandant at Fort Sheridan,
requested the board not to license
saloons at Half Day. In his appeal
he stated that So men in training at
the officers training camp got drunk
in Half Day saloons and had to be
put in the guard house.
In spite OF all appeals made in
behalf of the nearby soldiers and
sailors, the Lake county board de-
cided to permit the continued selling
of liquor by Half Day saloonkeepers.
The reasons given for the action of
the supervisors were that the saloon
keepers possessed government Ii
censes and that the voters of Burton
township had expressed themselves
in favor of wet territory Few will be
fooled by these excuses, however, as
the government merely issues tax re-
ceipts to retail liquor dealers, which
give absolutely no rights to sell. The
fact that Burton township voted wet
merely gave the supervisors legal
power to grant licenses but did not
relieve them OF the responsibility to
use their discretion in the interest of
the township, state and nation.

Government by Brewers

Il fully agree with you that the
very nature of the beer business
makes it imperative that you retain
strong hold on the ballot box, thus
manipulating the election of public
officials friendly to your interests,
and that by those methods alone you
have been able to exist in the past
BUT YOU NOW OUGHT TO RE-
ALIZE THAT YOU HAVE AN
TAGONIZED THE PEOPLE TO
SUCH AN EXTENT THAT EVEN
THE MAJORITY OF FORMER

CAUSE WILL PREFER NATION

THAN SUBMIT TO GOVERN

W. ]. BRYAN TO Be AT THE BIG RALLY

by the Supreme Court of Illinois in
the case of People v. Knoll, 276 ILL.,,
page So. In the absence of decision
of the Illinois Supreme Court to the
contrary, the Newell case is the es-
tablished law and this case holds in
definite, conclusive language that no
designation of city, county or state
is required after the signer's sigma
ture.
Attention Directed to Case
"In the argument before Judge
Eaton in the Mt. Pulaski contest, the
Colorado case was specifically and
definitely brought to his attention,
as well as the Knoll case sustaining
the Newell case. The wording of the
statute was also directly called to his
attention to the effect that the form
set forth in the statute did not require
the signer to put any designation
other than his house number and
street after his signature, and that no
city, county or state was required un-
der the form set out by the statute
"The law is so clearly and con-
clusvely settled to the contrary OF
Judge Eaton's opinion that, if de-
cided on the issue of law involved.
any lawyer in Illinois, with the slight
est intelligence whatever, who was
disposed to follow the law involved,
would have found it utterly impossi-
Bile to have held as the opinion did in
this case.
Basis of Wet Decision
"The opinion could not have been
rendered on the law but the basis
was, unquestionably, the character Of
the community which the deciding
Judge resided in, and, no doubt, the
personal view of the court on the wet
and dry question.
"The decision is so palpably wrong,
as legal,proposition, that the court
has demonstrated his unhtness to
hold the responsible position which
ne mas Deen elected TO.
"The legal voters of Mt. Pulaski
township have either been defrauded
out of an election fairly won by an
overwhelming majority where there
was no breath of suspicion or fraud
raised, or they have been defeated
from their well-earned victory by the
ignorance Of a public official who has
demonstrated his unworthiness and
unhtness to the office he holds.
THE Illinois statute provides that
the opinion OF the County Judge is
final in local option contest so no
opportunity is given the citizens of
Mt. Pulaski to correct this travesty
of justice.
Who Is Responsible?
"The attitude of Judge Gehlbach,
the regular County Judge of Logan
county, in refusing ta hear this case,
demonstrated that he was a weak
kneed, spineless public official and he
should not be permitted to escape the
responsibility OF the unfair and illegal
opinion handed down by the puppet
of his own choice, and for whose ig-
norance Judge Gehlbach must be re-
sponsible.
THE people of Logan county should
express their disapproval for the lack
of courage of this public official by
relegating him to the scrap heap at
the election for County Judge to be
held this fall"

Minnesota will spend $7,7O0, 900
thru the State Highway Commission
on its roads this year, SO per cent
more than in 1917, according to fig-
ures made available recently. Last
years total expenditure on roads in
the state thru Federal, State and
County channels was $3,884,OO0.
Several million dollars will be ex-
pended on the highways from the
southern states to the Northern
woods and lakes of Minnesota. Min
nesota's lakes and summer play
gounds will be visited by more peo-
pie this year than ever before and
the improvement of the roads will
bring even more.
The nation will spend approxim-
ately $3.50, 100000 on road improve
ment in 1918, which is 80 per cent
more than in any previous year.

Morris Population, 2,127

In connection with the drive for
War Savings Stamps a census of the
city of Morris was taken last week,
and the results show that Morris has
a population of 2,127 at the present
time.
The census was taken under the
direction of the Home Guard COM
pany, which is assisting in the War
Savings Stamp drive. One person
in each block was appointed to take
the census of his block.
1t was found that there are num-
Der of vacant houses in town, and
that people who take boarders and
roomers now have very few, which
facts indicate that normally the pop
ulation of Morris is considerably
larger. This condition is of course
due to so many young men being
away in military service, tho soldiers
who are bona fide residents of the
city we're included in the count.
When all the houses are occupied
and rooming houses well filled, as
has been the case at periods in the
past, Morris probably has popula-
ton of $500.

Good Jobs on Farm

A prominent farmer Of Stevens
county calls attention to- the OPP
portunities open to those who will
accept farm work. Wages are ex-
tremely high when it is taken into
consideration that the farm worker
is given in addition to his wages of
$40 per month his board, washing
and room and the use of team when
he has occasion to go to town. Then
there is not the enticement to spend
money that confronts the city work
er and as long as what one earns is
largely represented by what he
saves, it is evident at the present
time that the farm presents induce
ments far superior to those Of the
factory or city workshop.
The mechanic in town must pay
high prices for board and washing
and the result is that no matter what
his wages are he has little left at the
end of the month.
