Wet Writer Ready
to Say Goodbye
Opposed Prohibition For Over
Thirty Years

The December II number of the
National Beverage Review contains
an article that reads like a farewell
message by the veteran editor of this
paper which was formerly called,
The Champion of Fair Play" 1t is
significant that the remarks indicat
ing the writer's farewell follow re-
port on the injunction method of
closing saloons. For over thirty
years we have been warning the
trade of the dangers ahead" The
writer says, MANY have appreciated
our work, while others who find
themselves now tangled up in the
meshes of the law have not.
"We have done Cur duty as we
have seen it, honestly and faithfully,
and now as we are about to lay down
our pen we have nothing to regret
for having defended business that
had right to exist both legally and
morally, even if it has been in the in
terest of lost cause.
"Only time will tell if Prohibition
will be a success. AT the present
writing it is proving dismal failure
and every thinking person is coming
to realize that fact"
In his closing paragraph the writer
argues that Prohibition violates the
natural law of supply and demand
and also the natural law of fermenta-
ton and therefore is bound to be a
farce. Thus with characteristic wet
argument the veteran writer appar-
emily closes his career as the defend
er of lost cause. His cause was lost
because the test of experience proved
Prohibition to be success, and not
farce. But it is hard for men who
have given their lives in defense of
lost cause to realize that the cause
was lost because it was wrong.

S1o,ooo,ooO Plant Soon

Decatur interests recently obtained
an option on tract of land and are
expected to start building $l0,000,-
600 glucose and sugar plant, to be
operated as competitor to the COM
pany which took over the majority OF
the thirteen famous whisky and al
cohol distilleries.
Where 1000 men formerly worked
to distill whisky, 1000 men now are
employed making more than thirty
products for man and beast. The
food products plants manufacture
industrial alcohol, stock feed, wheat
flour, cane syrup, corn oils, yeast pre-
serves and jellies, jams, vinegar, and
numerous other products.
South Peoria once was known the
world over for its natural whisky
making resources. 1t is i'll the center
of the greatest corn belt in the world
Coal mines are everywhere nearby
assuring adequate fuel, inland trans
portation facilities are admirable
both on land and water.
Famous Underground River
Peoria's mysterious underground
river also played very important
part in the distilling by furnishing
water at the proper temperature and
possessing many other qualities, SC
that artificial heating and purifying
were not necessary. Water was
pumped from the ground direct tc
the distilleries ready for use, withou,
any treatment whatsoever.
With such advantages Peoria made
more whisky and paid more revenue
than any other spot in the country. II
is said here that much of Peoria
whisky was shipped into Kentucky tc
be bonded, then returned here ior
sale.
1t cost Approximately $10000.000, il
is estimated, to transform the distil.
leries of this city and of Pekin, near
here, into food products manufacture
ing plants.--Chicago Tribune, Dec 9

TIME TO ENFORCE PRO
HIBITION LAW
(Alton elegraph)

A general demand is going
up in this vicinity for strict
enforcement OF the Prohibition
law 1t is being charged that
the sale Of Intoxicating liquors,
Secretly enough carried on at
the time Prohibition went into
effect, has been becoming more
and more open and that for
tunes are being made by men
who are engaged in the illicit
sale of booze. 1t is time, now
that the election is over, to
make a change. 1t is impos-
sible that the present failure to
enforce the law shall continue.
There is no excuse now for a
continuance OF the present con-
ditions. The people will de-
mand action, and demand it
swiftly.
The ranks of the believers in
enforcement have increased.
Added to those who formerly
favored Prohibition are hun
dYeds Of new converts who do
rot wish to be subjected to
temptations of booze any more.
(, referendum on the Prohlbi-
on question today would gain
IsnIefise Support ffcfn tlfose'
who in bygone days were its
bitterest opponents. Many ex.
pressions of belief that the Pro-
hibition law should be strictly
enforced are heard everywhere
There is a demand that the
city, county and state officials
cooperate with the Federal
officials and that all exert their
might and main to enforce the
law.
The American issue. [volume] (Westerville, Ohio) 1912-19??, 1920-12-17
Enforcement Is Real Test

In concluding his article Mr.. Blythe
says that enforcement OF the law is
the only way OF finding out whether
Prohibition is good thing or not
On this point he makes the follow
ing comments:
If Prohibition is the iniqutous
thing its opponents claim it to
: br,-rhat facr cannot be establish
ed by wanton breaking of the
siaw, because wanton lawbreaking
z proves nothing but the criminal
ity of the lawbreakers, not the
lack OF merit Of the law itself.
The way to prove up on Pro-
hibition is to have Prohibition.
If it is satisfactory it can be
maintained If it is unsatisfactory
it can be modified.
If the citizens want Prohibition,
they can have it only by enforc-
ing the law and proving that the
law is good.

Revenue Department
Proceeds Against
Liquor Violators

A thousand warrants OF distraint
have been served on distillers, brew
ers and saloonkeepers OF the Chicago
district, and as many moe are being
prepared to force payment of ap-
proximately $5,000,000 federal tax
Harry w. Mager, revenue collector
stated recently.
The collector has started cam
paign against more than 1000 firms
and individuals who have made or
sold Intoxicating liquor since, the Vol
stead Act became operative.
Evidence in 1900 violations was
left by Maj. Dalrynpie and the col
lector also has list OF convictions
in state and federal courts.
The various Federal Prohibition
acts provide for aggregate penalties
of $3.50 against each concern or in
dividual who has sold liquor without
a license. Collector Mager recently
sent out notices to 1000 distillers,
brewers and saloonkeepers giving
them ten days in which to pay the tax
or fine" The notices are being fol-
lowed by warrants of distraint.
If these are ignored, Mayer states
he will add 5sper cent penalty and
in each instance take lien on the
property in the state and federal
courts. The extreme measure will be
seizure and sale of the property for
payment of the tax.-Chicago Herald
Examiner.
