Bottle Sale Order
Being Disregarded
Regulation to Protect Soldiers Being
Evaded by Booze Merchants

Several weeks ago the Department
OF Justice at Chicago served notice
on liquor dealers that the sale of
bottled goods for consumption off OF
the premises must be discontinued.
The liquor dealers made strenuous
efforts to have this ruling changed
and succeeded in obtaining conces-
sion more favorable to their business.
Under the revised ruling, liquor may
be sold for consumption off the prem
Uses and delivered direct to the buyer
provided that the seller personally
knows the purchaser. Both the pur-
chaser and the seller sign an affidavit
in which the former pledges himself
not to give the liquor to any soldier
or sailor.
The Citizens League of Chicago
shortly after this revised order went
into effect, carried on an investigation
to find out how we'll the new regula-
tions were being observed. Investi-
gators found that the provision MAX
ing it necessary for the seller to know
the buyer was quite generally dis
regarded. Investigators not person.
ALLY known to the sellers had no
trouble in securing liquor. In signing
their affidavits, instead of using their
own names, they filled in names of
Billy Sunday, Kaiser Wilhelm and
others. The experiment in selling
liquors under the modified order
above mentioned, demonstrates again
the impractibility of regulation. Al
though liquor dealers argue that reg
ulation is the proper method of hand
ling the liquor traffic, they them
selves refused to obey the letter or
the spirit of any law that interferes
with their profits. National Prohi-
bition is the only solution of the

J. 5. Railroads
Are Now All Dry

The serving OF liquor on trains and
at railroad stations has been prohi-
bited by the Director General of rail
roads, McAdoo. The order is worded
as follows
"The sale of liquor and intoxicants
of every character in dining cars,
restaurants, and railroad stations un-
der Federal control shall be discontin-
ued Immediately"
Under this order no time is given
dining car Companies and station-ho-
tel and restaurant companies to dis
pose of stocks of liquor on hand by
retail. Mr.. McAdoo has taken the
position that the government should
not be a partner in the liquor bust
ness. The new order will affect few
railroads in Illinois as the sale of
liquor on dining cars in this state was
discontinued a number of years ago.
In a number of the eastern states
many railroad depot barrooms have
order.

Sunday Closing
Helps War Work
In ke:nolrshs;,. Wis.
Only Seven Arrests in Eight Sundays
With Bars Shut

Two months ago Kenosha (Wis.)
saloons commenced to keep closed on
SUNDAYS. Since then there have been
four arrests all told OH Sundays and
four of these were for crimes other
than intoxication. How great an i'm
provement this was is told by the
Christian Science Monitor as follows
Before the beginning Of these
eight Sundays, or OH the last
Sunday on which intoxicants were
allowed to be sold, which was
June 10, y arrests were made and
62 were for drunkenness. On pre-
vious Sundays the arrests num-
bered anywhere from "a to 90
each Sunday. In fact, the police
patrol was never absent from the
streets on Sunday.
Eight Mondays have also
elapsed since the signing of the
so-callcd "gentlemen's agree
ment" of the saloonkeepers, and
on each of those Mondays from
$50 to $50 more men have been
at their places of work in each
OF the many important factories
here which are making war mate
rial than there were before the
agreement was signed. Besides,
these $50 TO $50 men who awere
at their places of work on Mon
day turned out more and better
work than they ever had been
able to do on a Monday before.
Although the Kenosha saloonkeep.
ers gave themselves great credit fol
obeying a law which they had dis
regarded for thirty years or more, THE
fact of the matter is that Sunday sa
Icons had been interfering so much
with government work that United
States Inspector gave the saloon mer
warning which they needed. The
great improvement resulting from
Sunday closing alone is an indication
Of helpful total Prohibition for til,
war, and permanent Prohibition IN
der constitutional amendment will be
