The Manley Moline home OF Horse
Creek was completely destroyed by
fire last Saturday forenoon.
The accident happened about 1000
o'clock. Mr.. Moline was out In the

ten minutes and when she returned
to the house found it all aflamc inside.
She called Mr.. Moline and when he
arrived at the house and opened the
door, the flames burned him quite
severely about the head and right
arm.
The fire was already beyond control
and the house with all its contents
were soon a mass of ruins.

Chicago Is Getting Used to the
Dry Law; Anniversary Almost
Forgotten.

July l, 1910, in Chicago resembled
Armistice day in Berlin. The scribes
of the nations second city were
particularly sad. Their one conso--
lation was the prospect of over
whelming fanatical Prohibitionists
with facts detailing ru a o II
wrought by no-booze Legislation at
the end of year. A year passed
by. The anniversary passed almost
unnoticed by the newspapers. The
Chicago American of July l contain
ed brief but meaningful report of
which the following paragraphs were
a part:
AT the Bridewell today it was
found that there are now 627 in
mates, against nearly 1000 year
ago.
There is a distinct dearth,' said
one official, of drunks, wife beaters
and other cases of petty misdenean-
or which used to fill our cells
"At the county jail, according to
Assistant Jailer Norton, there are
5o3 inmates, compared to 626 last
year.
Ours being criminal cases he
said, we are not so much affected by
Prohibition as the Bridewell.'
"Chief Garrity also was found to
be an ardent Prohibitionist, so far as
the work and general efficiency of
his department is concerned"
The Chicago Evening Post on
June 80 printed long article under
the heading, Benefits of Dry Laws
Visible Country Over; Punishment OF
Alcohol Reduces Human Misery and
Suffering" This article reviewed
the benefits of Prohibition to labor
industry, society, home life, children
and concluded with this paragraph;

Quincy, Big Wet-to-the-La
Ditch River Town, Is Reaping
Prohibition Benefits.

The Quincy Herald of June 80
quotes figures and draws conclusions
on the results of Prohibition. Accord
ing to the Journal Quincy had 102
saloons at midnight June 80, 1910
Most of the buildings formerly oc-
cupied by barrooms are now housing
other lines of business. Relative to
the effect of Prohibition on drunken
ness in Quincy the Journal says:
Taking it by and large Quincy
has been a sober city during the last
twelve months.
What Police Court Shows
Does Prohibition prohibit? The
question is not asked that an argu-
ment may be raised, but there is the
irrefutable answer in favor of the af-
firn1ative that while between the
first of July, 1918, and the last of
June, 1919, there were disposed of
in the Quincy police court 36S cases
in which the defendants were charg-
ed with intoxication. In the period
between the first of July, 1919, and
this morning only II such cases had
been dockete:d to the same tribunal"

and suffering.

Elgin was dry before July 1319l9.
But laWless liquor vendors within
and without its borders continued to
make trouble for the town made
famous by butter and Watches The
July , number OF the Elgin News
printed an article under the heading
reproduced above. The following
are several paragraphs from this
article:
Prohibition has cut down the
number of arrests for drunkenness
in the last year in Elgin to eleven per
cent of the number ten years ago.
Figures available from police de-
lspa1'tment records toua, showed III. tfTaf {
from July /, 1919, to June 80, 1920,
the first year of national Prohibition,
there were only thirty-two arrests in
Elgin for drunkenness Of all kinds.
Most OF these arrests were of habit.
ua1 drunkards who got under the
weather through the influence of
jamaica ginger.
Because of the voting out of
liquor, Prohibition advocates point
to the decreased number of total ar
rests for all causes as we'll as drunk
enness and the reports of the banks
which show much increased deposits.
Stores claim they have less trouble
collecting debts at the present time
than before.

the atmosphere of the saloon on his
breath, he is now a scarce article,

Did Prohibition Ruin Peoria, the
Worlds Greatest Liquor Cen
ter2 Just Read This.

.frhe Peoria Journal on June 80
recalled the familiar prediction that
a dry victory would bring desola-
ton to the worlds whisky center.
Rubbing its journalistic eyes 10 make
sure it was not dreaming the Jour
nal reported to the world on the
first year dry as follows:
AS the booze curfew pealed a
melancholy note to many folks a
year ago, PEORIA the biggest liquor
center in the world looked forward
to many lean years.
Peoria had the reputation of get
ting most OF its wealth from booze.
Many folks predicted that Peoria
would be poor-house bound in a
year, when the loss of the tremen-
doas whisky revenue began to
pinch.
"a year has passed, and instead of
the dire prediction coming true,
Peoria has '5oen mo. pros p re.as
than at any time in its history.
Bank clearings are larger, mer-
chants are tussling with fewer bad
bills, and happiness is general.
Many well-fed Peoria countenances
that were formerly eaunt, appear on
the streets.
"When Peoria went dry, the pic
turcsque barrel house district near
Bridge street was closed, and hun
dreds Of buns were turned out.
Nov that street is busy mart of
trade, and buns are few"

Wet Forces Organizing Everywhere

Wet Forces Organizing Everywhere
Then after commenting on the de-
cision OF the Supreme Court Organ
izer Buckridge continued:
Throughout the country leagues,
associations and organizations of all
kinds are being formed to fight Pro-
hibition at the polls. The
Anti-Saloon League is trying to keep
Prohibition from becoming an issue.
1t is up to us to force it as an issue.
If we can do this and have wet candi-
dates nominated in every county and
congressional district in both the
Democratic and Republican primaries
we will have done our share of the
job that is national in scope"
Colorado Vets are Active
That the activities of liquor organ
izations are not confined to states
which were wet when National Pro-
hibition went into effect is clear from
the following statement by Peter ].
Bessie, one of the hackers OF a peti-
ton to submit the beer and wine
question to the voters of Colorado.
Mr.. Bessie recently said:
1--WE plan to place every candidate
for public office in Colorado on rec
ord on the question of this petition
for 10 per cent wines and 4 per cent
beers. Letters to candidates will be
sent out soon, and we will vote ac-
cording to their stand on the matter"
Drys Must Vote September IS
In view of the above proof that the
vets will continue to fight the duty of
the drys is clear. Unless the voters
who favor Prohibition go to the polls
on primary election day and cast
their ballots for endorsed dry candi-
dates for Congress and the state Leg
islature the vets will succeed in Grip
ping Prohibition enforcement.

TIE TRUTH ABOUT PRO
d HIRITIOM. M.4-.z.--z...-.z-.
by Thomas J. Downey,
Mayor, TaylorVille. LID

The effect of Prohibition in
Taylorville has been wonder
ful especially in regard to ar
rests. Our policemen have
nothing to do more than to
protect property from burglary
and fires.
Our police magistrate was
elected this spring, and he re-
signed within a month on ac-
count OF no business. Fight
ing and drunkenness seems to
have been completely wiped
out under Prohibition and
domestic relations are much
more pleasant among all
classes.
The writer has always voted
for license but cannot tell any
thing but the truth.

The same number OF the Champion

address and resolutions printed the
following comment on the defeat of
Congressman Nolstead:
Volstead Defeat First Shot
Congressman Nolstead who al
lowed himself TO be made the cats

New York Vets to Fight On
The plans of the New York Deal
ers' Association are outlined in a let
ter by c. ]. Reilly, its secretary, to
the members. This letter was printed
in the July 3rd number of the Cham
pion of Fair Play. 1t contains the
following:
Every member of the organiza-
ton, whether actively engaged in the
traffic at the present time or not
should remain loyal and support the
campaign to restore our business and
the personal liberty of all citizens,
heretofore, guaranteed by the Con-
stitution of the United States.

vention in New York, possibly July
20-21, but the day has not been de-
cided upon at present. In reference
to New York City we are going to
continue our organization with as
much enthusiasm as ever, believing
that the people will never stand for
Prohibition and through our efforts
we will be able to force the ISSUE
Nationwide Wet Campaign in
Progress
Dennis J. McGillicuddy, president
of the Massachusetts, Liquor League,
in a recent report to members of that
organization, said,
Are you going to accept this
grating, unwise, unjust, un-Ameri-
can legislation without at the least
protesting? Do we not owe it to the
many other organizations not affiliA
ated with ours that are banding to-
gether to liberalize the Volstead act
and eventually repeal the Eighteenth
Amendment, to remain organized and
lend them our efforts?"
President McGillicuddy's reference
to other organizations is interesting
in connection with part of the re-
port by J. H. Buckridge, state organ
izer of the New Jersey Liquor Deal
ers' Association, printed in the July
3rd Champion of Fair Play He said,
