/ Under the law tenants may be evct-
ed for violating the law, but under
a ruling by Judge Lands landlords
cannot escape responsibility by evict-
ing tenants after injunctions have
been granted.
Brundage Says Law Must Be
Enforced
Attorney General Brundage gave
out the following statement explains
ing his court action against the sa-
loon men and property owners whose
premises are used for booze traffic:
Law enforcement is one OF the
most important things confronting
the public" Attorney General Brun-
dage said, in reference to the suits.
Non-enforcement breeds disrcspect
for all laws and sows the seed of
anarchy. The unlawful sale of liquor
in Chicago by hundreds OF saloons
has been open and brazen.
This illicit handling of liquor has
been corrupting every force with
which it came in contact. It's trail of
corruption has even involved the po-
lice department. Not only has the IL
legal sale of liquor been demoraliz-
ing, but il has been a source of prof
iteering TO an amazing extent. The
vilest concoctons have been sold at
exorbitant prices.
Chicago must recognize that state
laws are statewide and are to be en-
/ forced in Chicago just as thoroughly
as throughout Illinois. If the ,liquor
tilaws are objectionable to, the people
the quickest way to have them mod
flied or repealed is by strict en-
t o r c m ent. A enforcement
means continued violations by the
lowest element of law breakers 1t
means the fostering of anarchy and
the encouragement of crime.
"The present actions will be fol-
lowed by others, involving many
hundreds of saloons disguised as soft
drink parlors. restaurants, cabarets
and drug storesu We propose to take
such drastic action that not only the
tenant but the owner who rents his
property for unlawful purposes will
feel the full weight OF the law by
being denied its use for fixed time.
at is difficult to reach all cases of
liquor violations, but the open and
notorious ones which are visible to
any Inspector will be closed by in
functions"

.DallympIe's Work
Praised by League
Rendered Efficient and Valuable
Service

The following resolutions were
passed at the last League Headquar-
ters Committee meeting:
Whereas: Major A. V. Dalrymple
was appointed as the first law en-
forcement official for this central
western district, under the provisions
OF the Volstead act, enforcing the
Eighteenth Amendment to the Con-
stitution of the United States. and,
Whereas: Major Dalrymple's SER
vice has been of highly efficient ma
ture and inaugurated the regime OF
law enforcement in this district in a
most auspicious manner, and,
Whereas: it has seemed good tc
the Major to resign said position,
Therefore be it resolved: by the
Headquarters Committee of TIL
Anti-Saloon League of Illinois, in
regular session, November S, 1920
that we express to Major Dalrymple
our hlgh appreciation OF his courage
and efficient service. We regret the
circumstances that have caused his
resignation from his important office
and trust that he will have abundant
success in the new venture he is
making.
Resolved: that copies of this res
olution be spread upon our minutes,
given to Major Dafrymple and pub
lished in the Illinois Edition of the

Major Dalrymple. as federal Prohibi-
ton Commissioner for the Central
District. Mr.. Richardson, who is
twenty-eight is said to be the young
est district Prohibition commissioner
in the United States. A Chicago
Tribune report of his appointment
states that his selection was ap-
proved by Prohibition Commissioner
Kramer in spite of strong political
opposition.
The Chicago News reporting the
naming of Dalrymple's successor
said, Richardson's appointment was
seen in Chicago Prohibition circles
as a district victory for the Anti-Sa-
loon League forces which sponsored
him on Major Dalrymple's recon-
mendation. His appointment was
opposed in Washington by the pa
tronage element, which sought to
have the place given to native of
the state and by the wet forces who
feared his regime would mean rigid

THE GALESBURG REGIS
TER TO THE CHICAGO
TRIBUNE

There are thousands of read
ers and admirers of the Tri-
bune in this section of Illinois
that would be pleased should it
courageously uphold and en-
courage law enforcement and
generally support the govern
ment and officers who try to
do their duty. 1t enters the
home circle and sdoes it wish
to convince these multitudes
of home circles that they
have a legal right to man
ufacture Intoxicating liquors
and perchance to convert
these homes into places of rev.
elry and dissipation? Heaven
Forbid Or rather, does it not
wish to make the home safer,
more secure from evil?
Let the press of the state
rally to the support of law en-
forcement. To preach disre-
spect and contempt for this
law is to encourage irrever-
ence for all law. We believe
the moral sentiment OF the
land is back of this dry act,
and that the journals, no mat
ter how great their present
prestige and influence which
are trying to be-little it or en-
barrass its enforcement will
find themselves on the losing
side.
AS friend OF the Tribune
the Republican-Reglster trusts
that it will not continue its
present course.

Chicago Drunkenness
Reduced 90 Per Cent
No Increase In Drug Use Says Drink
Cure Doctor

Lure DOCtCr
DR.. w. P. Goodsmith, for twenty
FIVE years Medical Director of the
Washingtonian Home, in summing up
the results of year of Prohibition
noted a remarkable decrease in ine-
briefly and no increase whatever in
the use of drugs. He is quoted in
the Chicago Tribune of November %
as follows:
Before adoption of the Eighteen
tn Amendment the Washingtonian
Home treated between eighty and
one hundred whisky addicts every
month, DR.. Goldsmith said. Now
the number of persons seeking treat
ment does not exceed ten month.
"Those who do apply are much less
easily cured, however, than the heavy
drinkers of the pre-Prohibition era,
he said. Soldering up is a longee
process than it used to be-" he ex-
planned. Men who drink moon
shine do not recover quickly. Their
intoxication is more violent and tho
poison in bootleg liquor affects their
brains and eyes more violently than
better whisky did.
No Drug" Increase
"'One can easily tell victim of
moonshine from man who has been
drinking good whisky. The whisky
drinker will stagger while the noon
shine drinker spins like top
"Dr. Goldsmith said an increase in
drug addicts had been expected as
consequence of Prohibition, but did
not come Few whisky drinkers
have taken up drugs as substitute,
he said"

ECONOMICALLY SOUND
No Uneasiness Over Reduction In
 Favorable Trade Balance
By Assaciated Press

Washington. September 27.-The de- cided reduction in size of the favora- ble trade balance of the United States as evidenced in the foreign trade of the country during August, has been expected for months and In no way reflects an unsound economic condi- ton in the nation, according to sum- mary of trade conditions tonight by o. P. Hopkins, acting director of the bureau of foreign and domestic com merce.
 Several factors have been working to reduce the previous enormous excess of exports, which fell from $114,000, 900 in July to s65,000,000 in August, MT. Hopkins said. Foreign countries as well as American he continued have been awaiting general break in com modity prices and orders have been withheld Readjus tment of price levels he added, would undoubtedly mean in- creases in overseas shipments in quantity, if not in value, as falling prices would be a factor in lowering the values of both exports and imports

MOBILE CITY" ID
 LEAVEF JAPAN
Alabama-BuiIt Ships Carry Alabama Products to All
 Corners of Earth

The steamship Mobile City, of 10000 deadweight tonnage, was due to leave Mobile Sunday morning bright and early for San Francisco, Japan, China, Hawaii, India, Suez canal and England, thence
 ba ok to America.
 This is the fourth of the ships built at Mobile by the Chickasaw Shipbuilding
 and Car company out of Birmingham steel to make her maiden voyage.
 The main cargo consists of 5676 tons
 Of steel plates manufactured in the Bir-
 mingham mills, All the cargo is Alabama
 product of one kind or other.
 Almost the entire crew is made up of
 Mobiians. Of the forty-six men that
 signed on the crew at Mobile, thirty-five
 of them are natives of that city. Among
 others are half dozen representatives
 of old Mobile families who are making
 the trip for the benefit of the practical
 experience. They will return knowing something about the big world and the
 part that Alabama products are playing
 in the scheme of nations. The predecessors of the Mobile City carried a similar cargo and their des- tinatons were as follows: Chickasaw City-Rotterdarn. Birmingham City-Japan and China. Ensley City-Rotterdam. The Craster Hall took similar cargo to Rotterdam, but it was not built at Mobile.
 The Montgomery City has been launched at Mobile and will soon make her maiden voyage. The first ship to be launched at Chicka- saw yards was the Chickasaw City, which issued from the ways on December g. 1919
 The total complemen of ships to be built at Chickasaw yards is fourteen. The next one will be the Bessemer City and it is understood that one of them will bear the name of Fairfield, the Birming- ham suburb, where the steel shapes that enter into the vessels are fabricated. The Mobile City was presented with handsome service by the citizens of Mobile.
 Capt c. H. Longbottom Is master of the Mobile City. He is accompanied on the maiden trip of the ship by Mrs. Longbottom.
 The total value of the Birmingham steel shapes that have been moved to the far corners of the earth by the five ships | mentioned will approximate something | like S2, 2,9OO,0O0. This means that mucf new money is coming to Alabama by
 reason of this exportation of hel products.

SHELBY DENOUNCES INADEQUACY OF
 POLICE PROTECTION

To the Editor of The Age Herald:
 I hope you will write a strong edi torial regarding the cheapness of hu- man life in Birmingham. The awful tragedy in which Bob King lost his life this morning followed this afternoon by distressing murder of Mrs. w. C.. Bickell, one of the loveliesI and most lovable ladies in Birning gham, caught in a pitiless vice between two Chestnut Hill busses, is enough to arouse the righteous indignation of this commun- ity to the highest pitch.
 What kind of government have we. anyhow, or have we any at all that tolerates such a condition? Why are these death dealing monsters, ponderous as freight car, permitted to operate on narrow residence streets that are frequented by helpless women and chill dren? They have not paid for any pavements or contributed in any way except an insignificant license to -nain- tain the city, and the drivers run at a reckless ,sei cutting around corners and utterly disregardful of the rights of pedestrians and automobiles. In this sad instance two busses racing down ilill in order to make the steep grade on the opposite hill caught this helpless little woman in their maws and crushed ner to destruction.
 It is no excuse for the city officials to plead poverty for want of protection to human life and property All duiing the baseball season several traffic TO- iicemen were detailed to lie in wait and catch some unwary citizen who might slightly exceed the speed limit, but no protection is afford ,;l to prevent 411 at h,,r To ri 1f,ar. f Y,t homes, and the all too frequent horrors such as have shocked our community today The time has come for a halt and change in these insufferapls condi- ions and the awful price paid should stir us to action.
