How the Vets Work
Their Propaganda
in Other Lands
Geo. T. Bye Writing in the Spring
field News Record Exposes Wet
Propaganda in Foreign
Countries as Follows

The liquor interests are following
the tactics of their American ex-
associates. Little items are appearing
in the papers summing up losses in
taxation and unemployment that will
result in America. They do not point,
of course, to the years of successful
experimentation of dry western
states, now more prosperous than
ever in their wet decades. They do
not mention the uses that breweries
and distilleries can be put to at once
re-employing their alcohol labor"
They do not mention the 1essened ex-
penses in the commonwealth to the
police, sanitarium, divorce court, or
phan and insane asylums budgets.
They do not mention the stimulation
to constructive industries that the
enormous saving in beer and whisky
money will cause, the growth of bank
deposits, the increase of investments
in progressive enterprises, the private
building of homes and the vast in
crease in mass contentment which is
the cement that gives nations solidity.
And the devotion of liquor stuffs to
food; the heightening of health; the
refinement of life for the more gentle
rearing of children.

Law Enforcement
Bills Introduced in
the U. S. Congress
Explains Need of Measure

Wheeler Explains Need of Measure
Senator Sheppard of Texas, on
May 23, introduced measure for en-
forcement of both the war time Pro-
hibition act and the constitutional
amendment. Special commissioner OF
Prohibition with a force of assistants
is proposed in the bill. With respect
to provisions for search and seizure
OF intoxicants the measure is similar
to that introduced in the last session
With reference to the enforcement
measure, Wayne B. Wheeler, general
counsel for the Anti-Saloon League,
made the following statement:
"The proposed Prohibition enforce
ment code represents the necessary
and appropriate legislation for the
enforcement of the Eighteenth
TAmendment- and war Pronibition
Experience in the Prohibition states
proved that every section of it is
needed to meet the lawless scheming
of the liquor dealers. Every provision
has precedent in prohibitory legisa-
ton. The regulations for druggists
and physicians are similar to those
now in force under federal regua-
tons and state laws. A complete and
effective code must be enacted in or
der to have any law enforcement in
those few states where state Legisla-
ture will not enact enforcement codes.
Any state which is so lacking in 10y
atty and patriotism that it will not
enact appropriate legislation to en-
force the Eighteenth Amendment,
must be made to obey the laws of the
United States. Loyalty to the consti-
tuition means the enactment and en-
forcement of an effective Prohibition
law"

Newspaper Polls
Indicate Congress
Against Repeal
Will Not Follow Recommendation of
President

A poll of Congress made by the
Chicago Tribune (wettest great news
paper) indicates overwhelming senti-
ment against repeating wartime Pro-
hibition of wine and beer. Figures
follows: SENATE, for repeal, 20;
against repeal, "a; noncommital, 81.
HOUSE, for repeal, ITO; against re-
peal 216; noncommital, 49,
The New York World (greatest
wet newspaper) printed the following
results of its poll of Congress on
war Prohibition: SENATE, for re-
peal, Is; against, 80; noncommital, 81;
absent, 16. HOUSE, for repeal, 104;
against, 100; noncommital, 108; abb
sent, 18. Roughly these results in
dicate congressman are two to one
against repeating the law. Comment
ing on the above, the World said
prohibition is stronger than party
and THE ANTI SALOON
LEAGUES ORDERS ARE MORE
POTENT THAN THE RECON-
MENDATIONS OF THE PRESI-
DENT OF THE UNITED STATES
even among members of his party"
The above facts indicate that there
is little danger of the war Prohibition

Famous Brewery
to Make Candy
Expected Prohibition and Prepare


On July / the Peter Schoenhofen
Brewing Company expects to halt its
manufacture of beer, but regardless OF
the Prohibition order will begin the
making of bars on large scale.
Despite the impending arid condi-
ton OF the nation and the "non-essen-
tial" classification of bars after that
day. officials OF the brewery say there
will be an enormous demand. So
much so, in fact, that the entire Of
fee, advertising and selling organiza-
tions of the brewery have been keyed
to high pitch to push the bars.
Brewery c,eady to Begin
The bars, according to c. ]. Sheri-
dan, secretary of the brewery, will be
made of "the very purest chocolate
available and will be filled with all
kinds of GOO you know-pineapple,
vanilla, lemon"
Mr. Sheridan said the brewery for
months has been preparing to enter
the candy business and that for some
time the various buildings of the COM
pany have been remodeled to make
way for the change.
1--WE plan to specialize in chocolate
bars" Mr.. Sheridan said, "and we are
all confident that we are going to
build up a big business. OF course,

In Waukegan it has been diff

against the blind piggers. Only

came out and took action has
tile work been effective. The
local officials claimed to be
clothed with no authority to

Senator Sheppard
on Repeal Measure

Senator Sheppard of Texas, one of
the dry leaders, declared that instead
of repeal measure being passed Con-
gress will pass a measure to enforce
the present Prohibition law. which is
effective July |. He said:
Opposition in Big Cities
"To my mind, the President, in his
recommendation for repeal of the war
time dry law was influenced by rep
reservations made to him in Paris Of
widespread unrest among labor as to
enforcement of the law.
These representations were cxag-
gerated, but the President apparently
did not realize it. The only real sem
timent against the nationwide Prohi-
bition law becoming operative July /,
is in New York, Boston, Philadelphia,
Baltimore, St. Louis, Cincinnati, Chi
cago, Milwaukee and San Francisco.
In these cities you find concentrated
action against it. But it will not in

(Week1y Reporter)

A Prohibition law, either ma

would be a menace to good

Not Afraid of Soldiers

Regarding the belief that returning
soldiers will exert big influence to-
ward repeal of the measure, he
said:
"As to returning soldiers favoring
repeal OF the Prohibition law, that is
all propaganda put out by opponents
of Prohibition. From all have heard
the great majority of returning sol
diers are impressed with the effect of
liquor as they have witnessed in Lon
don and Paris. They believe that this
nation would be better off without it.
at must be remembered that be-
fore the war three-fourths of the ter
ritory of the country with one-half
the population had voted dry. A great
of the soldiers came from
territory that already was dry and
they are not influenced by the agita-
ton to keep the rest of the nation
wet."-The Waukegan Gazette.

WHY THE WSS is NEEDED

While the armistice has been signed
and the peace ENJOYS are on their
way to Paris, we can't consider the
war as being over and proceed to for
get about it. There are many officials
who say that 1t may be two years be-
fore all the Americans now in Europe
can come home again, even if things
go well. If Germany goes mad with
revolution and Russia threatens the
peace Of Europe through her Red An
archists and Boshevists, why it may
be longer than two years before all
the boys finally come home for good
Certainly it will take many months

lion fighters wearing American uni
forms who are now in France, Bel

over. that peace is here, that the ma
tion no longer needs War Savings

DAY OF GENERAL MOURNING
December % Was Once celebrated"
Throughout Country as Univer-
sally Unpopular Embargo Day.

Embargo day" In American history
occurred in 1903, growing out of the
embargo placed on foreign trade In
1907 A war was then going on in
Europe and owing to persistent in
references with American commerce
1t was decided to place an embargo
on foreign commerce of all kinds. In
December, 1907, President Jefferson
sent special message to congress
recommending the absolute prohibit
ton of foreign trade of any kind.
American ships were not to be per-
mitted to sail from any port Of the
United States. The enforcement Of
the embargo created widespread con-
fusion, losses and distress, and when
1t had been In force about year the
opponents of the administration ap-
pointed December ~, 1908, as day
Of general mourning, to be called
Embargo day" This was the anni-
versary of the passage Of the embargo
act, December %, 1907. The day was
duly celebrated at the shipping ports
Of New England and In other parts
Of the country, with ceremonies typi-
cal of mourning and distress. Ships
lying idle in the harbor displayed
flags at half-mast and professions Of
sailors with crepe on their arms
marched in the streets to dismal
music.

JEFFERSON CITY LETTER
(By Means Ray.)

jefferson City, Mo-, Jan. 14.-The
Fiftieth General Assembly has COM
pleted, it's organization and is now
ready for business with the exception
of committee assignments which will
be made the last of this week.
The organization this year was
quite interesting and kept everyone
guessing as to the final outcome. In
the Senate there was quite a contest
between Senators Walter c. Goodson
and Wallace Greene for President
Protein and it looked for time that
the feeling between the opposing fac
tiohs might wax warm but before the
election all differences were ironed out
and Senator Goodson was selected.
In the House the Republica contest
was more spirited with considerably
more feeling. The ambitions of Rep
resentative Sam O'Fallon, of Holt
county, Campbell of Cedar and Becker
of Polk clashed. After O'Fallon had
been selected by the Republican ma
jority in caucus over Campbell, seven
teen members of the House walked
out of the organization session and re-
fused to take part in the proceedings
until some arrangements had been
made with them. What the arrange
ments were is not generally known,
but it is expected that it was a shake
down for committee assignments. Al
though the election Of O'Fallon was
affected, the feeling L running high

CODDLING THE STACKER

Some grotesque things are happen
ing in connection with the demobili-
cation of American soldiers. Take an
everyday occurrence at Camp Fun
ston as an instance. -,
The loyal soldier who has fought
In France must buy his own civilian
clothing when he comes out of the
army. He can keep his uniform for
a few months if he desires, but most
men want to get back into civilian
outfit. So he is discharged without
his old-time clothing allowance and
spends what he has saved from his
pay with the clothier. ..,
At Camp Funston they have large
number Of conscientious directors"
and mingled with these are others, pa
rading themselves as /. W. w, I'm
ternational Socialists" and plain dis
loyalists. Be it remembered that the
honest conscientious objector" is a
rare bird in these camps.
These beings were drafted into the
army. They wouldn't drill, they
wouldn't wear uniform, they would
not battle and their uncleanliness was
nauseating. They were, and are, dis
loyalists, traitors, many Of them crea-
lures of that Potsdam gang that is
no more.
Nevertheless, when these gentry
are discharged from the army they
are taken by a representative OF the
Government and given full outht OF
clothing, hat, suit, shoes, socks, under
wear, shirt, collar, gloves and even a
necktie! 400
They have been drawing their $50
a month army pay, the same pay that
a loyal American fighting man was
given. Furthermore, there is no rec

er objected to drawing their $50 per.

CHILDRENS' CODE BILL

The Children's Code Bill before the
present General Assembly proposes to
effectually care for the normal chill
dren and protect defective, delinquent,
dependent children in Missouri. Gov
ernor Gardner generously encourages
this move in his splendid message,
Senators c. M. Buford and Mike Kin
ney were the only two State Senat-
ors appointed on this commission two
years ago, and without compensation
have given the matter their time and
attention during this period.
The National Importance of Mssou-
ri's program in this matter and the
fact that Senators Buford and Kinney
arc handling the important bills with
reference thereto during the present
session, insures the serious considera-
ton of the Fiftieth General Assembly
in this most important move.

PROBABLY BOTH

Representative Becker of the Cler-
ical Force Committee of the House at
Jefferson City and Auditor Hackmann,
another Republican officeholder, are
either the two most ignorant men in
Missouri politics or the silliest.
A few days ago Becker called on
Hackmapn for figures on the number
of clerks hired by the House in 1909,
the last revision session. Hackmann
reported that the Democrats at that
time employed 235 clerks, ID janitors,
superintendent of ventilation" two
sergeant-at-arms, one folder, %
doorkeepers,. 10 stenographers, 20
pages, two Eli clerks, one post-office
clerk, two official clerks, three ushers
and chaplain total pay roll for
the session Of about $150,000.
Having received these figures,
Becker gleefully announced that the
Republicans would not stand for such
Democratic extravaganza.
1t happens that in 1909 the House
was controlled by Republicans. AL
fred A. Speer of Jefferson City, a
Hadley lieutenant, was speaker and
the outrageous number of clerks
placed on the pay roll at that time
were put there by Republicans.
If Becker and Hickman did not
know that the House was Republican
in 1909 they are childishly ignorant.
If they did know and are trying to
deceive the voters out in the State
their Stiffness is remarkable.
Should the 1919 session of the
House resemble the 1909 catherine
