I'm. c. A. In The OIL Fields

In the Texas oil fields, where
fortunes are made over night
and town spring up today on
what yesterday was farm land,
the rush of fortune hunters has
been met by new type of amuse-
ment place. The dance halls and
gambling dens of the older day
which sprang up with the first
lucky strike in a new gold min
ing camp, or in a new oil field
have competitor today in the
cozy green huts of the Y. M. G,
A. of the type used in the Ameri-
can army camps in America and
abroad.
The first to be erected for
civilian use was at Caddo in the
Ranger field and four more are
being built under the direction of
secretaries already in the field.
The newer huts are at Brecken-
ridge and Olden in the Ranger
field at Burkburnett in the Wichi-
ia Falls territory and at Goose
Greek in the South Texas field.

ILLINOIS SALOON STAGES
COCKFIGHT ON SUNDAY
Despite State Law r.osing Saloons
ON Sunday Much Liquor Flows and
Gambling Is Carried on Uninter-
rupted

The Chicago Tribune OF April Is
gives realistic story of a cock6ght
that was staged in saloon in Lam
bert, a town twenty-five miles south
west OF the Chicago loop district on
the drainage canal
The fight was pulled off on Sunday
despite the fact that the state law OF
Illinois says that saloons must be
closed on that day. Twelve thousand
dollars were wagered. Booze flowed
freely and the several hundred sports
who gathered in the booze emporium,
which is known as the Sanitary Sa-
loon, had a hilarious time. The bouts,
which lasted practically all day,
wound up with free-for-all dice
game.
1t is not recorded, but in all proba-
bility had a referendum been taken on
the National Prohibition Amendment
an overwhelming victory for the
brewers would have been recorded.
The liquor interests lost golden op-
portunity to demonstrate to the world
that reversal OF public sentiment has
set in.

Officers raided a moonshInc still in
a Chicago fiat one day last week. The
still was complete in every particular
and supporting evidence in the form OF
demijohns OF whisky was captured
No resistance was offered by those in
charge. Mrs. Florence Cogiran in
the kitchen protested no knowledge
of any language when the revenue
agents dragged the outfit from under
a bed in an adjoining room. George
Brosan, a boarder, was found sleep
ing soundly in an adjoining room
with a bottle OF the moonshine under
his couch. AS Mielnte COCHRAN, hus-
band OF the woman and counsin of
the boarder, was not at home, two
men remained to arrest him when he
arrived. The people are Lithuanans.
The outfit was taken to the revenue
building, From evidence secured it is
evident the neighborhood had been
supplied from the still by priority and
some customer who was cheated from
his turn telephoncd the tip. The still
had capacity of about fifteen gal
Ions of whisky day which sold at
nine dollars a gallon as against the
revenue officers appraisal of sixteen
dollars value.
OF course, the liquor interests will
blame the existence of this still upon
Prohibition despite the fact that Chi
cago is supporting several thousand
saloons. When the Prohibition law
becomes effective and stills arc dis
covered in various cities of the nation
just remember that stills have been
operated in wet cities in the very
shadow of saloons. Not long ago
still was discovered in wet Milwau-
kee. License is no guarantee against
the encroachment of the moonshiner
any more than it is against the en-
croachment of the blind pigger.

delegation composed of Mr.. Rathbun
and Mr.. Windle, representatives OF
the lconoelast, a paper devoted TO the
liquor interests, their object being to
obtain permission TO visit the various
locals for the purpose of advising the
membership OF conditions that con-
front them in wet and dry campaign
in the future and to try and spread
subscriptions of this paper throughout
the city. On motion duly seconded,
their request was granted and your
secretary was instructed to notify the
local secretaries OF this fact. also Mr..
Rathbun and Mr.. Windle.
"a motion also prevailed that a
committee composed of the state and
district secretaries and presidents to
act with the brewers and wholesale
liquor dealers to formulate plan for
the subscription of this paper"
In 1918 Mr.. Windle came out in his
paper as a defender of the Bible as
the Word of God. That is a great
change from his former stand declar-
ing the Bible fabrication of the
early Christians. Of course it would
never do to use the Holy Bible, the
word of the Living God, as an argu-
ment in favor Of the liquor traffic and
the cred light and at the same time
declare it fabrication of the early
Christians.
Mr.. Windle has changed from an
\. p. A. to defender OF the Catholic
Church and Catholics.
He was a party Prohibitionist,
Democrat, a Republican, Bull
Mooser. an independence Lacquer,
and you must get his paper to ascer-
tain his latest change

dies honesty or sincerity, but simply
give you brief history of the man.

Cent Beer Exemption Bill; Prohi-
bition Commissioner Asked

There are three principal bills be-
fore the House of Representatives of
Pennsylvania dealing with Prohibition
law enforcement. One introduced by
Representative Ramsey would permit
the manufacture of beer containing as
much as two and three-fourths per
cent. An honest, thorough-going en-
forcement measure has been intro
duced by Representative Fox. 1t IS
designed to cooperate with the fed
erai government in the enforcement of
the 18th amendment.
Representative Nickerman has in
troduced companion bill to the Fox
bill providing for Prohibition COM
missioner. Under this bill the gov
ernor would have power to appoint
commissioner. the commissioner
would appoint eight deputies with APP
proval of the governor. The state
will be divided into eight districts with
deputy at the head OF each district.

delegates, Hon. L. B. Musgrove Of
Alabama, Bishop James Cannon. Jr.,
of the Methodist Episcopal Church
South, Rev. DIR. Henry B. Care of

fic in Intoxicating liquors:
lit requests that affirmative ac-
ton be taken by the conference, paw
ing the way for the effective Prohibit
ton of the liquor traffic among native
races, to which the conference does
not accord the right to determine their

VETS LAWYER FAILS TO APPEAR
"(Signed) H. A. Barker lex sailor).'

The vets apparently played in hard
luck at the hearing before the Penn
sylvania House committee on the
Prohibition enforcement measure last
week. The hearing had been called
at the request OF Representative Ram
sey, the vets floor leader, the drys
having expressed willingness to let
the matter go to committee vote with
out debate. The vets expected James
NJ. Beck, eminent New York LAWYER.
to appear for them. Mr.. Beck did not
put in an appearance and consequently
the whole time was given to Wayne
B Wheeler, national counsel for the
Anti-Saloon League OF America who
presented the drys' side of the case.
Mr. Wheeler was closely questioned
by Mr.. Ramsey concerning points of
law and gave satisfactory answers to
ali the questions
Mr. Ramsey has bill before the
House providing for the exemption of
two and three-fourths per cent beer
from the operations OF the Prohibit
ton law. Mr. Ramsey resented a re-
mark OF Mr.. Wheeler's to the effect
that representatives of the liquor in
terests were not always law-abiding.
The wet leader promptly declared
that Wheeler was talking to persons
who believe in law and order. To
which Mr.. Wheeler replied that inves-
LEGATION at Washington had shown
brewers OF Pennsylvania and the
United States back of the German
Alliance, an organization SO
disloyal that its charter was tescinded
by the Senate.

Them Much Trouble
Sheriff L. a. c. Thomas of Shcri-
dan, Wyo., and his deputies have
rounded up a bunch of bootleggers
whose arrest, it is thought, will break
up the gang who have been operating
between Sheridan and Montana for
several weeks. The climax came with
the arrest OF an Italian who is known
to Portland and Denver police under
various names.
The sheriff and his deputies at an
carly hour went to the Montana line,
where it was known the bootleggers'
car intended to enter the state. The
bootleggers were surprised and cap
tured without any shots being fired.
The three men captured are said to
be old hands at the game. Liquor
valued at about six thousand dollars
was captured and three automobiles
confscated. The offense was COM
mitted in Montana and the case Of
the Automobiles will be tried there,
although the leader of the gang was
arrested in Wyoming and will be pros
ecuted in that state.

MUCH LIQUOR SOLD
BY LEGAL VENDORS
Under Ontario Temperance Act Over
Million Quarts of Liquor Have
Been Sold

The Telegraph OF St. John, n. B.,
for April 5 says that since Ontario
went under Prohibition in September,
1916, and up to March of this year
over one million quarts of liquor have
been sold under prescriptions by the
legal vendors under the Ontario tenn
perance act. This was an estimate fur
nished to the public accounts commit
tee of the Legislature by J. D. Fla
velle, chairman OF the Ontario licens-
ing board. This is exclusive of the liq-
nor issued by druggists, vendors or
distillers for sacramento or industrial
purposes. Mr. Flayelle further stated
that it did not include liquor obtained
by physicians for their own use.
Since the going into force OF the
O. T. a. there were $500 commit
ments to the prison under the act.
1ntoxication was the charge in 400
of these and other olfenses under the
act accounted for the remaining $780,
A total OF $1,250,000 was realized in
fines paid for infractions OF the act.

A HISTORY OF
c. A. WINDLE,
Wet CHAMPION
Writer Gives Zigzag Record of Pro-
Booze Orator
patrick O'Kelly)

In the Buffalo papers of recent date
was news report of an address made
in that city by c. A. Windle, the wet
spell-binder OF Chicago. Ohio peo-
pie had lost track of Wind1e. He
used to come into this state every
year to campaign for the vets, and
he made practically the same speech
every time he came and everywhere
he spoke. Finally the vets shut him
out of.the state, for his trail could be
followed by increased dry majorities,
and he proved liability TO the sa-
loon interests.
From extracts of the address
Windle made in Buffalo it appears he
is still delivering the same speech,
heard time and again, nine or ten
years ago. Windle has made this
same speech in many places in the
United States and Canada. After
elections dry organizations passed
resolutions thanking Windle for the
help he gave the dry cause by his
famous wet speech. While Windle
has been making this one speech for
only ten years, it is hundred -year-
old speech. Windle uses the old ar
guments used over one hundred years
ago against the total abs Thence
movement by the advocates OF liq-
uor drinking OF those days.
Windle quotes passages OF Scrip
ture which he interprets as favorable
to the manufacture, sale and drinking
of liquor. He is careful not to quote
any of the passages OF Scripture that
condemn strong drink.
Windle has a most interesting his
tory. He came to Cornell, ILL.,, about
1890 or few years earlier and started
out as Holiness preacher. After
while he quit preaching, started a pa
per and went into business. About
this time the American Protective As
ISOLATION, an anti Catholic organiza-
ton, was active in the country
Windle started a branch in Cornell,
Ill, was its president all the time that
it existed and in his Iconoclast in
1911 Windle said that he still had the
charter in his possession. Windle tells
Catholics that it was the "Amoreans"
that he was a member OF. but Amor
cans was the secret name OF the a.
p. A.
In 1911 the vets at Napoleon, Ohio,
denied that c. A. Windle was ever
member OF the A. P. A. The follow
ing telegram was received at Napole-
on, Ohio, June 5, 1911, in reply to in
quiries as TO Charles A. Windlc:
Cornell. ILL.,, June 8, 19l1.
ITO Henry County Local Option
League, Napoleon, Ohio:
Charles A. Windle was member OF
American Protective Association in
Cornell. and was active in organizing
the same. He was presiding officer
and earnest worker against Catholic
religion.

Sailor Writes
On Prohibition
Calls 1t Greatest American Reform

Having been recently discharged
from the navy, | desire to say that
am fully convinced OF the Justice of
The 18th amendment to the constitu-
ton. Experience has rcfuted all OF
the wet arguments and has shown
Prohibition to be OF great benefit to
society business, religion, education
and even the individual himself.
I'll this were not the case, why do
various dry states retain their bone
dry legislation personally know
OF many men in the service, though
drinkers themselves, are in favor of
Prohibition as the only practical So
luton Of the drink problem.
Il sincerely hope that ali these
aliens who refuse to become Amer
icanized and who, through their pres
ent propaganda, seek to prostitute this
nation to drunkenness and vice and
nullify the peoples will. will be ship
ped back TO their former country.
Then, perhaps, they will realize that
personal liberty does not mean license.
''The Prohibition amendment is the
greatest American reform since the
revolution and, in my opinion, de-
serves the enthusiastic support of all
patriotic citizens.
Sincerely yours,
