HERE'S AN INSTANCE
Proving Prohibition Produces Joy
Instead of Being a Joy-Killer

One argument of the vets is that
Prohibition is JOY killer, their notion
of JOY being for men to become
hlariously drunk The fact is, Prohi-
bition has brought real joy to count
less thousands. There IS supreme JOY
in many, many homes where sorrow
reigned when husband, father, or son
debased himself with drink.
And then outside the. home, think
of those who enjoy recreation and
entertainment now who were denied
such pleasures when the bread winner
was helping feed the brewer and
salonkeeper. Take the one item of
moving pictures. In 1921, according
to movie managers, the box Office re-
ceipts were more than S600,0000O0 in
excess of the receipts for 1918, wet
year.
Prohibition is the greatest JOY pro-

BEER PETITION
BOOSTERS

Little squares of pasteboard
were scattered by the thousands
from the truck carrying the
beer petition to Springfield.
One side read
Over $4,000 registered
voters OF the state of
Illinois have signed this
petition sor the modification
Of the Prohibition laws.
This is the largest petition
ever secured i'll any state
for any purpose. When
your turn comes to vote in
November be sure and vote
Eyes" for the modification
of the Prohibition laws.
On the other side this appeared.
Study the wording and figure
out whether the purpose of the
beer petition is to secure vote
on something that would be
legal under the 18th Amend
ment 4:
Prohibition has proved an
actual curse instead of promised
blessing. Volsteadism has
made the United States laugh
ing stock among the Nations
of the World. Prohibition has
engendered disrespect for law.
Prohibition has brought into
being a new era of graft, ter
ronizing reign of crime, an
army Of spies invading the
privacy Of the homes of Amer
lean citizens. The Prohibition
laws should be amended"
Isn't it clear that the beer
petition is against the prohibit
ton Of intoxicants? And isn't
It clear that intoxicants are
illegal under the Constitution?
Therefore isn't it clear that if
the Secretary of State puts the
proposed question on the ballot
the voters will be asked to vote
on something that would be I'M
nstitutional?

In December, 1912, when questioned
by Alderman Bradshaw as to the pur-
pose of the United Societies, he said:
"We are organized for the purpose of
getting as liberal laws as we can. You
know we have other laws providing
that liquor shall not be sold between
midnight and five o'clock in the
morning, but we get permits for our
dances that permit liquor being sold

He headed the notorious parade on
November 9TH, 1915, which protested
the enforcement of the Sunday Closing
Law. He fought and defeated the
women and others who were working
in the city council to stop the selling
of liquor in dance halls after one
o'clock in the morning.
He fought Woman Suffrage.

WORKED s1PHoN SYSTEM

1t is the belief of officials at PEORIA
Illinois, that several hundred, perhaps
thousands, of gallons of bottled whisky
was stolen from a distillery in that city
by thieves working siphon system
through $50 feet of rubber hose. The
thieves are believed to have siphoned
whisky and carried their loot away on
truck. Several empty barrels were
found where the hose terminated on the
outside.
