new YEAR DRIEST
In THE HISTORY
OF THE COUNTRY
Large Cities Report Sober and Quiet
New Years Dawn

a thing OF the past are the drunken
orgies with which New Years was
always ushered in during the old days
OF drink. Chicago and New York re-
port quiet time with little drinking
on the occasion OF the old years pass
ing and the new years arrival At all
Chicago hotels there were great
crowds OF diners but few drinkers and
little drunkenness. This paragraph
from the Chicago Herald Examiner
indicates the change made by Prohi-
bition:
The streets OF the loop district
showed the effect of the passing of
John Barleycorn as a public actor.
Chief Hughes, returning to his Office
at l1:30 o'clock after tour of the
loop, remarked upon the unprece-
dented New Years Eve lonesome
ness.
why. it's like any other Saturday
night" he said. Except for the the
ater crowds there seems to be few
abroad. And there was no crush in
the cafes and dining rooms"
The same article said, Though it
was still a bit damp it was Chicago's
driest New Years Eve"
A Quiet City
The Chicago Tribune's New Years
report said:
Roughly, some $4,000 worth of
moonshine, as against an estimate of
100000 worth of wine on New Years
Eve of 19l6-this and restaurants
crowded with rather orderly pleasure
seekers, a city furtive under the eyes
of federal and city raiding squads,
quiet loop compared with the bedlam
of the good old days, was the celebra-
ton last night which ushered in 1922.
Estate street, ordinarily a canon of
Eve, was a dignihed, staid thorough
fare, frowning down upon the infre-
quent raucous foot of the tin horn in
the hands of TIL. street merchants, all
of whom wore more or less disgrun-
tied expression"
Fewest Fatalities Reported
A Washington dispatch of January
2 gives this gratifying report and pre-
diction relative to the past and future
New Years nights:
THE year 1922 was ushered in with
less fatalities from whisky drinking
than in any previous year, Prohibition
officials said today.
"'There was less drinking because
would-be consumers would not take
a chance on poisoned bootleg liquor
Assistant Prohibition Commissioner
Jones said Officials charged with
enforcement of the Nolstead law pre-
dict each succeeding year will show a

CHICAGO FRIENDS
OF BEER AND WINE
IN new CAMPAIGN
Branch of Wet Association Gives
Dinner at Blackstone Hotel

Invitations to a banquet issued by
the local branch OF the Association
Against the Prohibition Amendment
were received by many Chicago busi-
ness men last week The meeting
was announced to take place at the
Blackstone Hotel OH the evening OF
January u. The invitation contained
the following statement:
The object Of the meeting is to-
discuss the amendment to the existing
Prohibition laws, and for the purpose
OF forming a local organization TO as
sist the national association in its ef-
forts to modify these laws, so as to
permit the sale OF beer and light
wines. The platform contemplates
the distribution thereof, through fed
eral or state agencies, and the elimi-
nation OF the saloons. 1t is pro-
posed to associate reputable citizens,
who do not now and never have had
any connection with the liquor in
terest, TO favor platform OF beer and
light wines and no saloons
A long list of names was signed to
the invitation Both invitation and
the names signed were printed in the
Chicago papers. This was in harmony
with the practice of this particular
wet group in endeavoring to borrow
responsibility by securing the names
of prominent citizens to sponsor
! their meetings.
Senator A. O. Stanley and Captain
VIM II. Stayton of Baltimore, who is
of the A. A. T. A., were announced
as speakers.
The Association is Active
The following letter dated January
5. 1922, recently received by an Hi
nois member of the Association
Against the Prohibition Amendment,
discloses the plan of this organization
to secure the aid OF women voters in
its program of multiplying the Consti-
tuition through the repeal Of enforce
ment laws.
Dear Madam:
81 beg leave to. ask you TO ex-
ercise your civic privileges by writing
the House of Representatives Ways
and Means Committee your wishes
concerning light wines and beers.
"The facts are given in the en-
| closed memorandum, and many OF our
members are helping us.
The politicians presume that all
women are Prohibitionists; conse-
quently, your letter, taking the con-
trary view, will outweigh a dozen let
tiers from men
"If you could secure action from
some club or organization, or if you
would organize committee and be-
come its chairman to make concerted
efforts to get citizens in your COM
munity TO write such letters, it would
be a valeable patriotic work.
81 will greatly appreciate per-
sonal reply informing me of the ac-
ton. yoa take"
Very truly yours,
