RATIFICATION
CAMPAIGN PLANS
MADE BY LEAGUE

The Board of Trustees OF the Hi
nois Anti-Saloon League held their
semi-annual meeting on January 8.
In his report to the Board Superin-
tendent F. Scott Mcbride reviewed
progress made in the state and ma
ton during 1917, which he called a
record-breaking, epoch-inaking year.
Referring to the future program OF
the Anti-Saloon League, he said: The
great objective consists of two things:
The ratification of national Prohibi-
ton and state and national laws for
the enforcement of the same"
Organization plans for the coming
legislative campaign were explained
in detail by Superintendent Mcbride.

We have some customers who have
satisfactory savings accounts i'll our
bank, who never had any savings of
any kind when saloons were here"
The leading pastor in small city
where nine saloons were voted out
two years ago writes these cheering
words: "Things arc coming all right
here and we have one OF the best little
cities in this part OF the state-a city
we are truly proud OF. Not single
prediction that the vets made have
come to pass. Last week our city
council passed an ordinance provid-
ing for the removal of all screens,
blinds, etc, from the soft drink par
lors; also making the owner of the
building liable If the occupant sells
any Intoxicating liquor The follow
ing sentence from a manufacturer in
a dry town is self-cxplanatory: "1n
reply to your letter. | will say that
the closing of the saloons and the or
ganization OF the necessary machinery
to enforce the law has kept our city
in the most prosperous condition ii
has ever enjoyed during its existence.
This refers to its mercantile, munici-
pal and moral life. Business men
who voted the wet issue when the
war was on have all come over to the
dry side, and the great problem Of
how we are to run our city without
license money has been answered by
our city government keeping i'm
provements above normal"
Sunday Closing Improves Peoria
Great benefits have come to the
city OF Peoria as a result of the clos
ing of saloons on Sunday. Six months
OF such law enforcement in the chief
whisky city OF the world show signs
of vast Improvement Even the city
newspapers admit that Sunday clos
ing is good thing.
The District Superintendent of the
Anti-Saloon League in a recent can
vass for facts concerning the Sunday
closing OF saloons in Peoria reached
the following conclusions after con
suting those in positions to know
conditions:
First-There are less arrests than
when saloons were wide open seven
days week.
Second-There are more men at
work Monday mornings than when
saloons were open Sunday.
Third - Many homes are happier
and more prosperous because men
spend Sundays with their families in
stead of in saloons.
Fourtl-Chidren are better led and
clothed where money that went into
Sunday saloons is now spent in legiti
mate lines.
Fifth-Strangers who spend Sunday
in the city notice how much cleaner
and better it appears than when
drunkards reeled on the streets.
The pastors and churches OF the
city, working unitedly for the exalta
ton Of righteousness will see before
very long a better and greater Peoria.
