Against the Prohibition Amendment,
already said to number 10000, is re-
cruiting lawyers, doctors, professional
men and, according to its local head,
Charles S. Woods, churchmen, under
a liberal" banner. A new set of ar
guments is in use in efforts to get sup
port.
Vets are no longer demanding that
the good old saloon" shall return,
and the country be deluged with drink,
as they first did. On the contrary,
they are soft-pedaling these hopes, and
using the NOSE subtle devices of the
whisper campaign" They assert that
they only want to "liberalize" the law,
that they oppose the saloon, the bar
and brass rail, and support temper
ance."
They concentrate their time in
showing the amount of lawlessness in
the state through magnifying glass.
Whatever may be said of actual liq-
uor violations here, which, to degree,
are natural enough in state with
such a long liquor history, and the
Legislatures failure to pass $3.50, 900
supplemental enforcement appropria-
priation, the organized vets are doing
their utmost to make it seem hum
dred time worse than it is.

A concise account of the aims of the
bar-and-brass railers was given the
correspondent by Mr.. Wood. They
are as follows:
|. The repeal of the Volstead Act.
2. Enforcement of the Eighteenth
Amendment by individual states.

PUSSYFOOT JOHNSON
COMING TO ILLINOIS
Returning From Australian and
South African Campaigns

Newspapers just received from
South Africa tell OF great meetings in
the country addressed by Pussyfoot
Johnson who will sc on come to Illinois
for series of enforcement rallies. Be-
fore going to South Africa Pussyfoot
Travelled through Australia where he
was greeted by great crowds every
where he spoke. The Friend, of
Bloemfontein, South Africa, printed
the following in its report of Pussy
foot's meeting there:
I'm simple language, in plain Eng
lish, with a pronounced American ac-
'ce1ft,-- N ". E. Johnson last night,
told the story of how the United States
went dry to a crowded, orderly and
enthusiastic audience at the Ramblers
Hall. 1t was an interesting, in
structive, convincing narrative and he
made it abundantly clear that prohi-
bition had not been forced upon the
country by any section of the COM
munity; but had been decided upon
by the people themselves. 1t was the
people who had suffered through the
drink traffic; it was the people who
got tired of it, and it was the people
who got rid of it. Mr.. Johnson is
not an orator. But he is a forceful
speaker who adorns his statements
with pathetic and numerous anecdotes,
and, above all, he has that thorough.
first-hand knowledge of his subject,
which enables him to speak with au-
thority and to refute many of the mis-
leading things that are, from time to
time, said about his country.

PROGRESS IN ENFORCEMENT

Whether it is because drinking men
and women are afraid of being poison
ed, or hunting booze is ceasing to be
an adventure, or whether public
opinion is surely turning people to
keeping the law, or whether all these
things operate together, the fact is
that dry enforcement agents are max
ing steady headway in enforcing the
law. New York is slowly but steadily
drying up.'-Federal Agent William
Brennan.

Editorial in Chicago Evening
Post)

Mayor Dever's program is
revolutionary. 1t requires
complete change of conception
on the part OF police officers, an
entirely new viewpoint. When
the mayor began his crusade it
was freely said in the under
world, aud repeated in places
where police foregather, that
this, too, was politics. When
enough noise had been made to
satisfy the simple-minded re-
formers things would revert to
normal. Nobody took it SER
iously.
But it seems to be a blunder
not to take Mayor Dever SER
iously. Mere noise does not sat
isfy him. He wants results, and
when they are not apparent he
wants reasons and designations
and other thiaCs. that the. police
have not been accustomed TO be
asked for in quite this way.
We hope the mayor will not
let up. We hope the decent
people of Chicago will bear in
mind that their support is nee
essary if the mayor is to achieve
his purpose. The crusade is
vastly more than fight to en-
force the Volstead law and the
state dry law; it has become a
fight to make the police system
of the city clean, and to create a
state of unremitting and un-
compromising war between it
and all lawlessness.
To gain that end will be as
great a service as any man has
ever done for Chicago. But
once gained it will be kept only
as the law-abiding citizenship
sustains officials loyal to the
new standards and sees that no
other sort is elected to office.

to Be Attacked in Primary
Campaigns
ILLINOIS VETS PLAN THEIR FIGHT

At the forty-fourth annual conven-
ton of the Retail Malt Beverage Re-
taiers Association, M. ]. Mccarthy,
Secretary, reported on the activities of
various wet organizations in Illinois.
He said:
'In Chicago we have we'll estab-
lshed branch of the Association Op-
posed to Prohibition of which Mr.. A.,
ID. P1amondon is the president. 1t is
composed of men who have never
been identified with the liquor trade
and whose motto is No Saloon and
, no one formerly connected with the
trade is eligible for membership"
The above was followed by an ex-
PLANTATION Of how former saloonkeepers
and others connected with the liquor
traffic are organized in an Association
known as The Veterans of Liberty.
1t is plain from the report OF Secre-
tary Mccarthy that the Association
Opposed to Prohibition is the one or
ganization in Illinois next to those per-
sonally interested in the liquor busi-
ness that is most active against pro-
hibition. The cooperation of the As
sociation Opposed to Prohibition with
the Veterans of Liberty in the circu-
lation of the beer and wine petition
last year proves that these two bodies
are working together. That both or
ganizations will make united attack
against enforcement during the CAM
paign leading up to the primary cleo
ton on April 8 cannot be doubted.
What the program of the Association
Opposed to Prohibition will be may
be claerly seen from the activities Of
this organization in the state Of Penn
sylvania as told in recent number of
the Christian Science Monitor. Ac-
cording TO the Monitor the Pennsyl-
vania state branch of the Association

Paris has $4,000 saloon, or one

In France there are 100000
places in which Intoxicating 1iq-

These saloons take frightful
toll.
OF the 100000 persons who

tuberculosis, $4,000 are alco-
holic drinkers.
More than half of all the mur-
ders in France are committed by
alcoholics.
That country is full of beg

A SAD SPECTACLE
(The Country Editor)

To espousc the cause of liquor
is unquestionably a reprehens-
ible policy and it is sad specta-
Gle when great metropolitan
daily undertakes to uphold and
champion the immoral side of a
great issue. Thereby it seeks
to condemn in advance unborn
generations to enslavement by
the worst vice that has ever
cursed humanity, wives and
children to untold misery, young
women to lives of prostitution
and in the end to the gutter.

Chicago Going Dry

AT last Chicago is becoming con-
vinced that prohibition can be and
will be enforced. For long time af-
ter Mayor Dever announced his inten-
ton to stop liquor lawlessness, his
declarations were not taken seriously.
The lawless saloonkeepers particularly
thought that the enforcement drive
would die down in a few days. So
they continued taking chances. But
Mayor Dever kept right on revoking
beverage licenses as fast as the po-
lice were able to furnish evidence of
1awlessncss. The number of licenses
revoked reached thousand. Still the
mayor did not stop. AS this is writ
ten, about fourteen hundred holders
of soft drink licenses have been put
out of business by the revocation
route. Scores of other saloonkeepers
who had been operating under bev
erage permits voluntarily closed their
doors and suspended business. In the
Woodlawn police district the captain
of police called on the proprietors of
soft drink saloons and told them that
if they did not go out of business
voluntarily he would be back and
close them up. Most of them took the
hint and promptly went out of bust
ness.
Injunction Suits Filed
The earlier intention of many sa-
loonkeepers who lost their licenses, to
fight for their restoration in the
courts, seems to have changed during
the past two weeks. 1t is more than
likely that the announced purpose of
the city authorities to file injunction
suits against places found to have vio-
lated prohibition laws, commencing
with those that appealed to the courts,
has decided the saloonkeepers to ac-
cept the loss of their licenses and not
stir up more serious trouble for them
selves. Under the Illinois Prohibi-

3. The passage of bill authorizing
light wines and beer.
4. Repeal of the Eighteenth Amend
ment.
Supporting the proposal for. state in
neighboring states, and attempt rig
stead OF national enforcement, Mr..
Wood says:
I'VE believe the functions of the
national prohibition enforcement de-
partment should be limited to the con-
troll of interstate commerce. For in
stance, if Ohio has a bone dry law,
and Pennsylvania permits, say, 8 per
cent beer, the department should be
charged with the duty of seeing that
Pennsylvania beer is excluded from
Ohio"
The impracticability of such pro-
posal is obvious, the drys point out.
No government, they say, could per-
NIT half dozen different degrees of
intemperance to exist side by side in
idly to exclude one from the other,
and dam the underground flow OF liq-
uor, differing in power by half-per-
centages, across boundary lines. Ex-
perience has. tai2ht-all4 but I the.-axets==
who do not want to learn--that liquor
must be sealed hermetically, or not at
all, the drys say.
Regarding the light wine and beer
plank Mr.. Wood proposes that the
Government should tax whatever beer
is manufactured ito produce at least
as much revenue as the Government
formerly obtained from excise taxes,
which is at least $500,000,O0O a year."
In other words, this financial proposal
would allow the Government, the drys
say, to recoup its treasury through
violation of its own laws.
Mere Statute Law
AS to the repeal of the Eighteenth
Amendment, Mr.. Wood has this to
say:
Most of the associations members
of the highest character and the great
est education believe that the Eight
eenth Amendment is essentially a
mere statute law, practically a police
regulation, which should be subject to
the will of the majority like any other
law, and which has no place in the
Constitution.
"We fully recognize, however, that
the repeal of the amendment. if it
ever happens, is in the far distant flu
ture, and we therefore advocate the
first three planks of our platform in
order to obviate, SO far as possible
the evil results of the Eighteenth
Amendment while it remains in force"
Later on, Mr.. Wood added this def
milton of what American legislatures,
Congress and the Supreme Court
mean when they say Intoxicating
drink"
"We think the word (intoxicating)
is fairly open to the definition that
only that be treated as an intoxicat-
ing drink which intoxicates the nor
NAL person, if taken in normal quanti
ties. Under such definition certain
wines and such beer as was commonly
used for 10 years or so before prohi-
bition could be made legal"
The program of the Association OPP
posed to Prohibition in Illinois will be
practically identical with that being
carried on in Pennsylvania by the same
organization. In the next number of
The Issue the program and the pur-
poses of the Veterans of Liberty will
be printed. This will be of particular
interest in connection with the mo
Saloon" professions of the vets.

British Nobility Startled by PROPOSE
tion Of One of Themselves, to
Abolish Hereditary Titles.

The Introduction into the house Of
commons by the Hon. Arthur Bonsonby
OF a bill to abolish hereditary titles
created more of a sensation because of
the social connections of Its author
than because of its somewhat revOlu-
tionary nature. The Hon. Arthur was
at one time page of honor to Queen
Victoria, is related to many OF the no
BILE families Of England and at one
time took an active part In English so
ciety.
In his earlier political career he was
a liberal. but has since become an I'm
portant member OF the labor party. His
bill, although 1t Is not the first Of Its
kind with which the British commons
has had to deal. was greeted with wild
enthusiasm by labor members and
great Indignation by the Tory men,
bers. The Hon. Arthur declares that.

ART HAS VARIOUS ASPECTS
Il is Anything That Locke Like It to
Any Person, According to Thia
Writer.

The thing that looks art to per-
son who thinks that 1t Is art. is art.
There are many ways of looking at 1t
from different angles-those of the
rich and the poor, the. educated and
the uneducated, the child and the
grownup. Art belongs to everybody
who looks for it. There Is not hu-
man being who does not admire art.
Art and you will be more friendly
when you are at peace when you have
no trouble on your mind. no sickness
in your family, nothing to worry over,
then you can enjoy art. Then art will
love you and you in turn will love art.
Art Is very wide Art Is not only
what you see with your eyes, but 1t Is
within your mind also. There are
many things beside art objects in art
galleries. You may find art almost
anywhere, any time, IL you have the
eye to see 1t. In your home good
housekeeping is art; so are harmonious
decorations and the arrangement OF
flowers; so are cooking eating, sleep
ing and dressing; so is talking; so are
movements and manners-yes, so Is
love-there is art in all. You may find
