ENFORCEMENT COMMITS
SIONER Is APPOINTED
FOR CITY OF CHICAGO
Methodist Preacher Given Office to
Enforce Laws

On February the Rev. John H..
Williamson for seven years Chicago
pastor in the Methodist Church was
appointed law enforcement conm's-
5oner by Mayor Thompson OF Chi
cago. His duties will consist of work
for the enforcement OF all the crini-
nal laws in the city of Chicago. A
large part of his work will be in con-
nection with enforcement OF the Pro
hibiton laws.
DR.. Williamson was born in Bolton,
England and came to the United
States in 1911. Seven years ago he
took up the pastorate OF the Park
side NJ. E. Church in Chicago. At
the time of his appointment he was
pastor of the Normal Park NJ. E.
Church from which he resigned short
ly after accepting the office of en-
forcement commissioner.
In announcing his choice, the mayor
made an appeal to "every school,
every church and every temple OF
Justice in the city" to teach respect
for the law and for the cooperation
of parents in making his campaign a
success.
In announcing war on bootleg
gers he said, at is very important
that information be Immediately pro-
cured as to- the sellers, that these
breeding places of crime may be
closed and the sale of moonshine and
liquid poison may be stopped"

qucstng our representative i'll Con-
gress and Senate, and the members
of the ways and means committee to
vote in favor OF this bill.
Many Cities Oppose Beer and Wine
Milwaukee, St. Louis, and a number
OF other cities that have become
famous as beer headquarters have
passed the Chicago council rcsolu-
tons pleading for beer. Most cities
however, from which reports have
been received failed to act on the Chi
cago request or voted against it. One
of these cities was Peoria. The vote
on the resolution was a tic and the
mayor cast the deciding vote against
going on record for beer and wine.
Minneapolis is one of the larger cities
that refused to appeal for notification
by the beer and wine method. In
Youngstown, Ohio. the Davenport
beer and wine request was referred
to the mayor. He threw ii into the
waste basket This is practically
though not actually what has happen
ed to the beer and wine resolutions
in most of the cities.

PLAY FAIR

Adult example is teaching the
boyhood of today that law need
be respected only when con-
venient, and by those who arc
unfortunate enough to find no
safe way for evasion. That is
not the fault of Prohibition. 1t
is the fault of men and women
who lack the character to put
a right restraint upon them
selves; who lack the honor to
play fair with their country and
their fellows.-Chicago Evening
Post.

BE it resolved by the council OF
the city OF Streator, Illinois, that we
endorse House bill No. 969l, intro

of Maryland, and that the city clerk
is hereby instructed to send copy
of this resolution to each OF our SEN

that the resolution was passed unan-
imously at the reglar meeting of the
Streator city council OH January 30,

Argument For Beer and Wine Bill
The following statment describing
Mr.. Hills bill and giving arguments
therfor accompanied the Streator
resolution:
Streator, Illinois. Jan. 80, 1922.
TO THE HONORABLE MAYOR
AND COMMISSIONERS OF THE
CITY OF STREATOR:
Gentlemen:
Whereas, The industrial affairs OF
our country are in all awful bad state
and millions of idle men are ,yainly
seeking employment while their fami-
lies are suffering for the bare necessi-
ties OF life and,
Whereas, An industrial stagnation
impairs the purchasing power oil the
masses and reflects its injurious et-
fects to the extent that all business
enterprises suffer their share OF the
deplorablc conditions prevailing; and
Whereas, 1t is all imperative duty
of all our people to exercise their
very best efforts toward restoring i'll
dustrial and commercial conditions to
a normal, healthy state, whereby en-
ploymcnt can be secured by the idle
masses and their distress relieved
and,
Whereas, Congressman John Philip
Hill of Maryland, has introduced a
bill in the House OF Representatives
known as House bill 9o91, providing
for the creation of federal local option
districts. the voters of which shall de-
eide in November, 1922, whether beer
containing not more than 4 per cent
: of alcohol, and wine Of not more than
Il per cent may be manufactured and
sold or transported in such districts
and
Whereas. If this bill becomes law
it will yield a revenue OF approximate
" $600,000,000 year, and said revenue
thus obtained would solve the prin-
cipal fiscal problems of the govern
ment. and would probably cover the
gap between receipts and expenditures
on the basis of 1922 budget. 1t would
obviate the imposition OF a sales tan
which is evidently most unpopular. II
would ultimately care for the soldiers
bonus which seems TO be possibility
1t would add considerably to the in
come tax receipts by reviving beer and
wine industries, and the important
point connected Herewith is that II
would incite absolutely no opposition
among those who pay the tax. In ad-
dition to that it would be the means
of placing hundreds of thousands Of
idle men at work.
Therefore, be it resolved, That we
endorse the bill introduced by Con
gressman John P. Hill of Maryland

Western Cities Firm For Law

Very little sympathy was given to
wet Chicago Aldermen by the councils
of western cities. Mayor Baker of
Portland, Oregon, refused to present
the resolution to the city coucil and
instead wrote a letter to the clerk OF
the Chicago council stating that the
Prohibition question has been de-
cisively and definitely settled. The
Denver city council on January 80, by
a vote Of g to 3 voted down the Chi
cago wet resolution. San Diego, Cali
fornia, and Long Beach opposed modi-
fication of the law Among the larger
cities Of the cast in which the beer and
wine resolution has been turned down
arc Detroit and Buffalo. Many of the
cities which received the resolutions
sent out from Chicago made their
consideration of these the occasion
for an expression of loyalty to the law.
The good results of Prohibition have
also been set forth in connection with
action on beer and wine resolutions.
A typical resolution turning down beer
and wine and praising Prohibition is
that passed by the city council OF
Cheyenne, Wyoming, which reads as
