Hoopeston Is Helped
By National Dry Law

The following article by Chester A.
Aldrich of the Hoopeston Evening
Herald illustrates one OF the big ad-
vantages of National Prohibition:
"Hoopeston as you probably know
has been an example for Prohibition
sermons throughout the length and
breadth OF this country by reason of
the fact that it has never had sa-
loon in its history. 1t is true that we
were for some years subject to the
overflow of Danville booze peddlers,
but the rigid endorsements of the
Prohibition laws here reduced drunk
enness to a minimum. ] will state
however, that since Prohibition went
into effect | have not seen a drunken
man on the streets of our city, nor
have there been any arrests made by
reason of intoxication to my knowl-
edge since Prohibition went into ef-
feet. Prior to this state of affairs
however, oftentimes intoxicated peo-
pie, who obtained their liquor sup
plies at Danville, would come up to
this city by train, but I am glad to
state that this state of affairs no
longer exists"

Typical Dry Village
Reports Great Good
Now Protected from Former Nearby
Wet Towns
(By ]. B. Frisby, editor Mendon
Dispatch)

(By ]. B. Frisby, editor Mendon
Dispatch)
Our little village of $50 people
founded in 1882, never had licensed
saloon, although, in the carly years
of its existence, whisky was dis
pensed to some extent.
The village ordinances governing
our conduct have always been very
strict, making drunkenness misde-
meanor, prohibiting the sale or giving
away of intoxicants and providing a
fine even for anyone who should de-
liver booze from shipper to consignce
so any startling change by reason OF
the Eighteenth Amendment would
not be expected here. r
Got Booze Nevertheless
At the same time and for many
years great deal of whisky and beer
was brought in from outside points
and consumed and Saturday nights
were generally hilarious times to a
certain few.
This is all changed. Men who
made practice of getting drunk
weekly or going on an extended spree
are now sober and vastly more reli-
able. They meet their obligations
more readily, their families have more
of the necessities of life and bushes:
is on comparatively better basis.
No Use for Calaboose
The village calaboose has not hac
an inmate in the last year except
tramps locked up for the night. MOI
has fine been imposed for any mis-
demeanor in that time. OF course
previously we did not have many law
violations, but the village now, espe
cially on nights and holidays is vastly
more peaceable.
Better Type of Citizenship
Total abstinence is raising the aver
age of citizenship in all the town.
and villages in this section. There
is no doubt about that The com
munity spirit is better and the Co
operative spirit between communitie:
is more apparent.
In word there is more peace OF
Earth and Goodwill Toward Men" il

CIVIC SLACKERS

"A citizen who will accept the bene-
fits of orderly government and re-
fuse to help carry the responsibility
of citizenship is a civic Stacker, just
as one who runs away from duty III
time of war"
Every citizen by birth or adop-
ton is in politics in a republic. If
he shirks he is as culpable as if he
refused to work at his job and insisted
on pay. To fail to register and vote
and expect others to do your work
and give you the protection of decent
government brands you as had citi-
zen, dodger and Stacker.
The dominant issue in America
politics today relating to liquor is not
Prohibition but law and order. Every
one knows the Eighteenth Amend
ment is fixture in the Constitution.
1t can not be repealed but it can be
nullined by the election of a wet
Congress, a wet Legislature and faith
less ofhcials. 1t this is permitted
lawlcssness will be encouraged from
Maine to California. If the capstone
of law and order is removed the
whole structure of government will
crumble. Those who encourage law
lessness and defiance of the National
Prohibition Amendment should not
complain when a Bolshevist brick
comes through their window
IF the outlawed brewers and liquor
dealers are permitted to defy the law,
then all others who are opposed to
certain other laws will follow their
example. When law is gone all is
gone in orderly government" 81

Aurora Benefits Big Under National
Dry Law

Our spondent in Aurora has
written the following report on the
change that has come over that city
since the first of last July. Aurora
has a population OF about $4,000 and
had about one saloon for each thou
sand:
There has been big slump in the
number of arrests for intoxication
though an occasional 'moonshne jag
is brought in.
"The city Jail population is small
most of the time, two or three times
in the last year it having been entirely
empty, one time for nearly week.
There has been an appreciate
falling off in charitable cases.
Bank deposits have increased APP
proximately million dollars in
year.
Citizens friendly to the dry cause
like It, not so with the vets. he
majority here are wet, and would
probably vote back the saloon if it
were left to the majority.
Zone police oficial-not the chief
told me that the city is better off
without the saloons.
"Some of the saloon buildings are
used as soft drink places. Others
have been rented for other business.
do not think any of them are va
cant.
LAS side light to the situation,
two or three months ago 'Tommie'
Barlow, police magistrate before
whom nearly all the drunk cases and
cases the oute rowth of drink are
taken, petitioned the city council to
place his job, now on the fee basis,
on a salary, he saying in his petition
that the fees had dropped to prac-
tically 5000 a year. When the sa-
looms were here his job averaged him
from about $1,000 to $2,400 year"
