In his autobiography. published III
welt tells OF his fight against the liquo
The Sunday saloon situation, VIII
explained by Roosevelt as follows:
There was in New York City a
strong sentiment in favor OF honesty
in politics: there was also a strong
sentiment in favor OF opening the sa-
looms on Sundays; and. finally, there
was strong sentiment in favor OF
keeping the saloons closed on Sun
day. Unfortunately, many OF the men
who favored honest government neV-
crthelcss preferred keeping the sa-
looms open to having honest govern
ment; and many others among the
men who favored honest government
put ii second to keeping the saloons
closed. Moreover among the people
who wished the law obeycd and the
saloons closed there were plenty who
objected strongly TO every step neccs-
sary to accomplish the result. al
though they also insisted that the re-
suit should be accomplished.
"Mcanwhlc the politicians found an
incredible profit in using the law as a
club to keep the saloons in line; all
except the biggest, or the owners OF
the breweries back OF which, sat in
the inner councils OF Tammany, or
controlled Tammany's allies in the Re.
publican organization The police
used the partial and spasmodic en-
forcemcnt OF the law as means OF
collecting blackmail.
"The result was that the officers oil
the law, the politicians, and the sa-
loonkeepers became nextricably
tangled in a network OF crime and
connivance at crime. The most pow
erful saloonkeepers controlled the
politicians and the police, while the
latter in turn terrorized and black
mailed all the other saloonkeepers."
What happened when Roosevelt de-
cided to enforce the law and the re-
suit of Sunday Prohibition was told
by the writer in these interesting par
agraphs:
"This was the situation that con-
fronted me when | came to Mulberry
street. The saloon was the CHIEF
source OF mischief 1t was with the
saloon that | had to deal, and there
was only one way to deal with it
That was to enforce the law The
howl that rose was deafening. The
professional politicians raved. The
yellow press surpassed themselves in

Illinois.
In the earlier history of the Anti
Saloon League OF Illinois there came
a time when it was necessary to
quickly secure large sum of money
to tide the organization over the most
difficult period in its career. Then it
was that Sam r. Brush OF Carbonate
advanced $4,000 to the League with
out interest and without security His
faith in the organization and his in
crest in the Prohibition cause made
possible for the League to continue
md eventually take an important part
N the final campaign for ratification.
For some years Mr., Brush has been
a resident OF Boulder, Colorado. Re-
Gently he wrote to the Illinois state
superintendent, expressing his joy
over the national victory and the part
Illinois played in the winning OF that
victory Because of the splendid
sentiment and good counsel in this
letter. a part OF it is herewith given
