TREND OF THE TIMES

The liquor men can find cold com.
fort in the elections this spring.
Bloomington back in the dry column
after a two years wet spell. largely
by the aid of the women, God bless
them! Springfield continues dry by
increased majority. Danville stays
dry by township vote, when it or
iginally went dry through a political
city squabble rather than from a real
conviction on the temperance ques-
ton. Rock Island cast out its sa-
looms. Aurora sticks in its wallow
and the saloons by reduced major
ity, showing the anti-liquor forces
are gaining strength. Little Cancer
in Kankakee county, where the only
township election tested the ques-
hion, went dry and the cold storage
plant at the west side of the city of
Momence gets off the map-not a
great victory, but every little helps.

A WORD TO WOMEN

Without your votes, you women of
Canton, your city would still be
cursed with the licensed saloon; with
out your votes, Tuesday, it may
again bear that stigma. True, the
soft drink joint and the blind pig
have helped to cheat you out of the
full effect of your effort, but that
cannot be charged to you, and if you
keep the faith and smash the foe in
his next drive, carry the fight into
the city election and wipe the slate
clean both of the saloon and the re-
calcitrant officeholders who have per-
mitted its rotten successors to -four

GOOD ADVICE

Because the booze barons and their
minions persist IN breaking the law
is no reason that the law is not
good law, The reason it is not more
effective is because the officials elect
ed to render it ineffective have made
good their pledges to the gang that
voted them into office. Keep on vot-
ing for the good laws and then elect
good men TO enforce them.-Canton,

Henry, ILL.,, has been dry for

WHISKY CITY PAPER SHOWS
UP BREWERIES

One great trouble of the liquor
business has been the practice of the
brewcries in the buying up and con-
trolling licenses. Such a license
means nothing to the man tempo
rarily i'll charge of the place. All he
is interested in is getting up enough
money to pay his rent and whatever
the real owner OF the place sees fit
to charge hin.-Peoria, IL. Star,

WASHINGTON DRY RECORD

Comparing the first three months Of
Prohibition in Washington with the
corresponding period of a year pre-
vious, reveals marvellous reduction
in the number of arrests since saloons
were closed.
Combining all cases, intoxication,
and offenses often contributable to it,
the result is convincing showing of
betterment: 1000 arrests under the
wet conditions and ,461 under the dry
law, or a reduction of 2,548.
