international Questions Up
One OF the questions which Mr..
Cherrington says VIII be taken up at
the convention will be that of interna-
tional relations regarding trade trea-
ties and other agreements respecting
self-determnation OF nations in regard

control; conduct of l.quor-carrying
vessels on the high seas with respect
TO supplying smugglcrs OF liquor into
dry territory, and other issues involv-
ing protection of internal policies
adopted by independent nations. The

WHY MORE DRY CANDIDATES WERE NOT
NOMINATED In THE ILLINOIS PRIMARY

endorsing candidates, permitting all to
run without any endorsement, all the
candidates contending for the right OF
chance to win They all contended
also that the issue was not being
raised sufficiently to concentrate the
wet vote on such all unworthy candi-
date as the vets had i'll the field, We
learned a lesson. however, that the
wet and dry fight is not sufficiently
settled in order to justify this cond;-
ton. The vets concentrated on their
wet man and defeated all the drys but
one when the district should have
given solid dry delegation. Had the
Anti-Saloon League in this particular
case made the endorsement of just the
two the results, had the dry candidates
not endorsed and the dry friends of
the candidates made the same attack
upon the League and on method as
was done i'll the two districts men
toned above, would not have been
difsicnt, but there would have been
this ..lasrence in the. case. the Anti
Saloon League would have been free
from the responsibility. The people
who refused to follow the endorsement
would have been responsible.
1t is not possible for the Anti-Sa-
loon League to compel the people to
vote according to their endorsements,
but it is the duty of the Anti-Saloon
League to show them how they can
vote and WIN. In the Rockford dis
trict as we'll as the Quincy district
had the drys followed our endorse
ments the dry candidates would have
been nominated, but in the other dis
tricts mentioned the Anti-Saloon
League not choosing between dry
candidates the responsibility of course
comes back upon the League for not
telling the constituency of that dis
trict through their endorsements how
they should vote to nominate the
largest number of drys.
The losses caused for the above
reasons means that we will have a
hard fight in the election. We made
as good showing in this primary as
we did in the primary of two years
ago, but the vote was close then and

well. But no one should make the
mistake that many OF Our friends made
in the recent primary to think that
the vets will not concentrate their ef-
forts to bring back the liquor traffic.
All we need to do is to read the mag
aznes and study the literature put out
by the liquor propagandists to find
that the liquor traffic is doing its best
to come back and is doing this with
some encouragement.
Illinois can regain the losses of the
primary caused by failure of the drys
to concentrate the dry vote on the
exact number of candidates that have
a chance to win only by the hardest
summers and falls election campaign
that we have ever put up. The diff
Guilty too often with our dry friends
is that they quit fighting too soon.
Let all quit together but not until the
vets surrender.

NOT A TIME TO REST

An occasional church is act
ing as if the Prohibition ques-
ton were settled and for all
time. That is a pipe dream.
Let the Anti-Saloon League and
the w. c. T. u. cease work and
Prohibition would not last more
than decade. Now is the time
for all good men and churches
to stand firm for the defense of
their country. There is no oc-
casion for Encouragement.
1t has required seventy years
of vigilant effort to secure a
fairly good enforcement of the
compulsory school law; yet in
spite of an acknowledged Is per
cent enforcement of the Prohi-
bition law in two years, some
people say Prohibition is fail
ure.-The Baptist.

LAKE COUNTY DRYS
NOMINATE SHERIFF

Edward Ah1strom, Republican can
didate for sheriff in Lake county, was
endorsed by the Anti-Saloon League
and the Lake County Law and Order
League. He was nominated by a
two to one majority. 1t is evident
that the citizens of Lake county in
tend to have Prohibition enforced.
With Colonel A. V. Smith in the
states attorneys Office and a sheriff
in thorough sympathy with law en-
forcement there will be no rest for
the wicked in Lake county.

NEW JERSEY NO. 40


New Jersey on March 9, 1922,
ratified the Eighteenth Amend
ment to the Federal Constitu-
ton. The vote was II to q in
the Senate and 80 to "a in the
Assembly. This leaves only
Rhode Island and Connecticut
in the list of states that have
not ratified. According to the
1920 census the population of
Connecticut is 1,380,5S5. The
population of Rhode Island is
604,3o7. The total population
OF the the United States is 1885,
683,l08. The above figures are
offered to the writers of wet
propaganda to help them prove
how Prohibition was put over
on the majority.

3, 1920, more than one million dollars
in fines have been collected from dry
law violators, according to the report
of Auditor of State Tracy. The period
covered in the Auditors report is from
November 8, 1920, to April /, 1922.
The total fines collected in that per-
iod was $l,154, ,3o7.l4, of which one
half was paid into the state treasury
and the other half was distributed
among the counties.
Mahoning county leads all others in
the amount of fines paid, the states
share alone from that county amount
ing to more than $4,000. Summit
county is second, with nearly $4,000,
Stark county is third, with $4,000, and
Franklin county fourth with $35,500.
Two counties, Guernsey and Monroe,
made no collections. The smallest
amount received from any one county
was SIS from Morrow.
This report covers fines assessed
and collected under the Crabbe law 1t
does not take into account the fines
assessed in the federal courts of the
state, neither does it cover the fines
assessed in municipalities which have
passed special ordinances under which
all fines collected go to these munici-
palities.
Illinois Conditions Improving /.
In Illinois the effectiveness of en-
forcement is steadily increasing. ]. H.
Collier, attorney for the Anti-Saloon
League, who is in close touch with
enforcement work throughout the
state, states that conditions are better
now than they were several months
ago. In Chicago state. county and
city enforcement agencies are handi-
capped by lack of money and men.
However, officials declare that the law
can be enforced In an interview
with the editor of The American Issue
District Attorney c. F. Clyne declared
that the question of whether the law
can be enforced is no longer in the
field OF debate. He stated that the
law can be enforced In making this
statement he said that his opinion
was based on fifteen years of expert
ence including over two years under
.Lo foda.,t DroL;h;+;o,, 1,y, He ateo
stated that it was the concensus of
opinion among prosecuting officials
who recently held a convention in
Chicago that Prohibition can be en-
forced. Chicago's enforcement COM
missioner, ]. H. Williamson, who has
made close study of the situation,
gives it as his firm conviction that
Prohibition can be enforced.
What Is Needed?
That the law can be enforced there
is no doubt That the law is not be-
ing enforced as we'll as it should be is
also certain. The difficulties now pre-
venting better enforcement are not in
surmountable. The American Issue
with the cooperation of Anti-Saloon
League district superintendents will
endeavor to find out what the diff
culties are and point them out so that
conditions can be remedied Is the
fault with the officials or is it the fault
of the citizens or is it the fault of
both? The reports to be made by Of
fcials to The American Issue as an
nounced in this number will help an
swer these questions.

Mingo county. Moonshiners became
SO bold that they would flag trains
secrete their stuff in cars. and then
add indignity TO injury by stealing
rides into town when the trains
started up. The delays, due to the
false alarm haggings. caused heavy
losses to the railroads and Lieut.

ARSON ARRESTS ARE
Benefit TO FARMERS

In one district of New Jersey it has
been the custom for many years for
the insurance companies to refuse in.
surance to farmers because of tho
known fact that there were many
grudge fires. in which barns and even
houses were consumed. which were
due to revenge. The New Jersey state
police investigated and made MANY
arrests resulting in convictions. AS q
result rural fires in this section have
diminished and insurance compania.
are now sending their agents in f.
write insurance again.

How a Hymn was Written.

The following anecdote is told con-
corning the origin and inspiration of
that beautiful hymn, Jesus, lover of
my soul"
One day Mr.. Wesley was sitting by
an open window, looking out over
the bright and beautiful fields. Pres
enly little bird fitting about in the
sunshine attracted his attention. lust
then hawk came sweeping towards
the little bird. The poor thing very
much frightened, was darting here and
there, trying to find some refuge. In
the bright sunny air; in the leafy trees,
or in the green fields, there was no
hiding place from the fierce grasp of
the hawk. But seeing an open window
and man sitting beside it, the bird
flew, in its extremity, towards it, and
with beating heart and quivering
wing, found refuge in Mr.. Wesleys
bosom. He sheltered it from a threat
encd danger, and saved it from a cruel
death. Mr.. Wesley was at that time
suffering from severe trials, and was
feeling the need of refuge in his own
time OF trouble as much as did the
trembling bird that nestled so safely in
his bosom SO he took up his pen and
wrote that sweet hymn:
jesus, lover OF my soul,
Let me to thy bosom fly,
While the waves of trouble roll,
While the tempest still is high.
That prayer grew into one of the
most beautiful hymns in our language.
and multtudeS of our people, when
in sorrow and danger, have found
comfort while they have said or sung
the last lines of that hymn

Language of the Hair.

Each of our features is supposed
10 have a language-eyes, nose and
mouth. But the language of the hair
has been formulated in the following
manner: Straight, lank, striney-look-
ing hair indicates weakness and
cowardice. Curly hair denotes a
quick temper. Frizzy hair, set on ones
mead as If each individual hair was
ready to fight its neighbor, denotes
coarseness. Black hair denotes per.
sistent resolution in accomplishing an
object, also.a strong predisposition to
aVenge wrongs and insults, real or
fancied. Brown hair denotes fondness
for life, a friendly disposition, ambi-
ton, earnestness of purpose. ca
pacity for business, reliability in
friendship in. proportion as the hair
is fine. Very fine hair indicates an
even disposition, readiness to for
give, with desire to add to the happi.
ness of others. Persons with very
line, light brown auburn hair, inclined
10 curl or frlz, are quick-tempered, and
are given to resentment or REVENGE
Light brown hair, inclined to redness
with freckled skin, is a certain indi-
cation of deceit, treachery, and a dis
position to do something mean to a
friend who can no longer be used to
advantage. We give the information
as we find it, and is about as true as
such things generally are.

500 Goldfish.

We had a dinner a while ago with
man who is very much interested
in gold fish. He has fish for which
he paid more than 500 each.
This man told US many interesting
things about goldfish. He had made
deep study of gold fish diet. He
feeds The fish himself, weighing the
foods in a finely balanced scale. Meals
are served on a definite schedule, and
not too much food is given at one
time.
But this is not the point of this
story.
Our gold fish fancier was complain
ing of indigestion. The minute he
stopped talking about his gold fish he
began to complain about his stomach.
The Joke was too obvious and too
good TO conceal, aud welaughed at him.
He then admitted that he didn't have
any right TO weigh out food in mimi
testimal quantities for his 500 gold
fish while he treated his own stomach
like a garbage can.
Just the minute any of us buys an
expensive dog or cat, or rooster, or
horse, we begin to worry lot more
about il than we do about ourselves
or our children.
! The average horse is more SenSibly
fed than the average man. The own
crS are sicN oitener than the horses.
We know what to feed a dog, how
much to feed him, and how often.
We know what to feed calves and
pigs.
Volumes have been written on all
these subjects. Moreover, these vol
umes have been read, studied and
needed.
Likewise, volumes have been writ
ten on how to feed ourselves, though
few of us pay any attention to the
subject, and it is seldom indeed that
man gives even SO much as a thought
to it until he gets sick.
Nearly any ailment can be reach
ed, if We start in time, through the
adoption of the proper diet; and, what
is more important, nearly any phys
ical trouble can be prevented through
sensible eating.
We know enough to exercise dog
or horse, and how to feed him.
dweller whose family embraces wife
and an expensive poodle-told me that
1t was fine to have the dog because
his wife took the little fellow for a
walk every day and thus had exercise
which she wouldn't take regularly
otherwise.
1t will be fine old world when we
know as much about our food needs
as we know about the food needs of
gold fish, dogs and horses. AS it is
now they are luckier than we are.
