MUCH WORK LEFT FOR
LEAGUE TO DO

Commissioner Haynes believes
that prohibition sentiment is gain
ing in this country. He says,
az believe that il the United
States were to vote tomorrow on
prohibition it would vote the
largest majority ever recorded in
the country Most of the clamor
against prohibition originated
with the propaganda of Europe.
They see the loss of American
markets and the hand writing on
their own walls"
This is an encouraging outlook
and will give heart to those who
are in the good fight. This does
not mean, however, that the fight
has been won. 1t is still neces-
sary ON the part of the churches
to support the Anti-Saloon
League, the greatest enemy the
liquor traffic has encountered in
this country. 1t is still doing
commendable work in behalf of
the Eighteenth Amendment, and
deserves whole-hearted support.

new YORK REPEALS
ENFORCEMENT ACT

On May sth the New York Senate by
vote of 2S to p passed the Cuvillier
Repeal Bill which when signed by the
Governor will rescind the Mullan-G Gage
prohibition enforcement act. The re-
peal bill had previously passed the House
by vote of e to II.
The Mullan-Gage act became a law
April A. 1921. To certain degree il
is similar to the Volstead act, defining
the police power of the state in the en-
forcement of prohibition as the national
act provides for national enforcement

Liquor Laws Enforcible
|. There is one absolute and unchangc-
able fact. The constitution OF the Unit
ed States has made illegal the importa
tion, expectation, manufacture and sale
of intoxicating liquors.
This amendment was adopted by the
House of Representatives by vote of
2S2 to l2s, in the Senate by AZ TO s. 1t
provided that it should be imperative
unless ratified by the States in the usual
manner within years, from the date
of its adoption. 1t was submitted De
icember Is, 1917, was ratified by SO
states within year, . months and I
days. OF the legislature ratifying, 30
or more were elected after the amend
,ment was submitted Connecticut and
Rhode Island have not ratified

From which it can be seen that Con

reason why. SO of the States Conn.

counties in the United States were dry

ment was adopted. 81 out of l67 towns

more than ne.half of the Legislature

We must all agree with President
Harding that the prohibition of intox-
icating liquor is ineradicably fixed in the
law of the United States.
Laws Are Adequate
The laws of Connecticunt, to say moth
ing of the laws of the United States, are
entirely sufficient to close the saloons.
ut has been done and it can be done
again. Personally, / think that the sa-
loonkeepers and any who are winking at
the continuance of the saloon in bust
ness, thinking that public sentiment will
support them, will be woefully disap-
pointed if ever public opinion has an OPP
portunity to express itself on that point.
Saloons Easily Closed
The saloon can be as easily discovered
and demobolized as sore thumb. A sa-
loon equipped with bar, front and back,
brass rail- beer pump and glasses, can
pnly have legal business reason for
existence today, either because the pro-
prietor owns the building or the lease

DRUNKS FAR UNDER
TOTAL OF OLD DAYS

Here are the figures for those people
who are always arguing that there are
more drunks in Cairo now thar DIT -n,,
the old days OF the saloon. The statistics
were gathered from the police register
covering the time since 1914.
The official year beginning in June.
1914. to June. 1915, there were SS3
drunks in police court. From 1915 TO
1910, there were 77o. From 1917 to 1913
there were 6o6 From 1918 to 1910,
there were 80. Then came prohibition
Notice the drop in the number OF drunks.
From 1910 to 1920 there were only 22-
From 1920 TO 1921, there were but 81
From 1927 to 1922, there were Io5. From
1922 TO 1923, two months missing, there
were 243.
Although these figures show that pro.
hibition has prohibited considerably, de.
spite much parlor and street argument
to the contrary, they also indicate that
there has been a decided increase in
drunkenness in Cairo during the last
year over the previous years under the

The profit on near beer will scarcely pay

Personal Liberty and State Rights
Much of the agitation against the pres
ent Nolstead Act is placed upon the
ground OF personal liberty or States
rights. As to the latter, | would call
Your attention to the fact that the State
of Connecticut forbids the sale, etc OF
intoxicating liquors.
My personal belief is that at least SO
per cent of those who bring forward this
reason use it as a cover for their real
reason which may be expressed as fol
lows: 81 want a drink"
Jail Only Remedy
It is the clear conviction of all mem.
bers of the Court that no penalty short
of an occasional Jail sentence, not sus
pended, will prove effective with the ma
iority of saloonkeepers, brothel keepers
and others who break the law to make
money. Money they can charge up to
the expense account but touch of iail''
is abhorrent to their refined sensiblities.
A fine is too often considered license.
Jail sentences also have been imposed up
on the person who drives an automobile
when under the influence of liquor. This
seems to be the only penalty which will
put an end to that method of homicide,

l his Board meeting marks the first
quarter OF a century of Anti Saloon
League work in the State OF Illinois.
This is the twenty-ffth annual meet
ing.
In the very beginning OF this re-
port we wish to give acknowledge
ment TO Almighty God i'll the bless
ings given to His workers in this por-
, ton OF the church's work upon which
has been showered His approval
throughout the years and to Whom
the successful Leagiie. workers have
looked for counsel in all OF the way.
The Anti-Saloon League year that
ended with April 30th has been un-
qucstionably the most active since the
Ant-Saloon League movement began
in Ohio thirty years ago. No field
already entered could be abandoned.
but on the other hand il has become
necessary to greatly enlarge the work
and to advance into new fields of OPP
portunity. 1t has not been turning
from ono field into another but a COIL
tinuing OF the work i'll every field oc-
, cupicd and going into new fields
opening up because of the success OF
the work in fields already entered.
Three Fields of League Work
In the carly days OF Anti Saloon
League work it was not an uncom
mon or unusual thing to hear a
League speaker outline the complete
proposed program OF the Anti-Saloon
League. 1t was usually done under
the following heads: educational
work, law enactment and law enforce
ment We have made progress in all
three of these fields but have cont
plcted none of them and arc only in
the beginning stages of the field OF
law enforcement and educational
work. The League to serve its pur-
pose must continue its forward march
through these lines of effort without
abandoning any of them.
The Program of the Past Year
During the year just ending new
Congress and new legislature were
elected. Tn the Legislative field CAM
paigns have been aggressively waged
over the entire field on behalf OF Con
grcssmen and members of the state
legislature. The results were very
satisfactory. More dry Congressmen
! have been elected than ever before
Illinois gave seventeen to seven for
ratification in the House at Washing
ton and her two United States
Senators. In the coming session there
will be larger vote for the maintc-
nance OF prohibition than was cast for
the prohibition amendment in the
earlier session.
Vote Shows Dry Sentiment
The issue was clearly drawn in the
campaign for ongressmen-at-l t-large
The two candidates elected were sup
ported openly by the Anti-Saloon
League and bitterly fought by the
wet forces in the state. The two wet
candidates openly espoused beer and
light wine as substitute for prohibi-
! ton. The drys were elected by
around 100000 majority each. Over
the country there will be no more than
139 wet Congressman out of total OF
435 and there will be a gain of three
for the drys in the United States
Senate. 1t is strong augury for the
maintenance of prohibition to have a
showing like this in year when the

wei newspapers and wet interests are
proclaiming loudly a reaction against
prohibition.
Situation in Legislature
In the state legislature the senate
and house have about the usual num-
Der OF wets and drys the senate show
ing a very distinct dry majority, while
the drys have the best OF it in the
house, but as usual the vote is close
there. The difference between the
strength of the drys in the house and
senate IS accouutcd for because OF the
so-called plumpng system which
greatly fayors the wets giving them
the advantage OF about eighteen to
twcnty-four house members. We're
It not for this system peculiar to the
State OF Illinois, not having been
adopted in any other state of the
Union, the legislative battle in Illinois
would be pretty we'll determined.
Vets Attack Dry Laws
Our program OF legislation consists
in defending the Illinois prohibition
act which is ono OF the most effective
state statutes now on the statute
books of any state OF the Union. and
which was written into our laws by
the hard fight of two years ago, and
the enactment of four additional laws.
The vets have introduced number
OF bills for the weakening and break
ing down of prohibition enforcement
statutes. OF the first twenty-five
bills introduced in the legislature
seven were for the repeal of the
Illinois prohibition act, and since that
time the Association Against the
Prohibition Amendment has intro
duced their bill which is known as
the lgoe-Dailey bill having for its pur-
pose the changing OF all Illinois
statutes automatically at such a time
as an amendment can be secured to
the Nolstcad act at Washington The
purpose of this is to place Illinois in
the wet column for propaganda pur-
poses and to arouse the wcts of Illinois
/ TO hope in their fight for the repeal
of the Nolstead act. Besides these cf-
forts on the part of the vets a very
cunning and crafty attempt towards
stripping the Illinois prohibition act of
all the features it contains for law en-
forccmcnt not now already in the
Nolstead act has been made.
The session is not yet over and the
fight will go on vigorously until the
close of the session. Down to date
no successful efforts on the part of
the wets have been made.
-Four Anti-Saloon League Bills
The four new bills supported by the
Anti-Saloon League are, 1st. law to
provide funds for law enforcement for
states attorneys and the attorney gem
eral from the fines collected by these
officials, one half of said fines being
put into these funds; End, bill to re-
move those officials who will not keep
their oath of Office and enforce the
law; 3rd bill to increase the fines
for drunkenness in public places, and
4th, bill making the selling OF poison
GUS alcohol that kills punishable as
murder. The removal bill as we'll as
the murder bill has already passed the
senate and will soon be before the
house for consideration.

the public press does not give the

WHISKY TRUST PLANT
PASSES into HISTORY
Big Peoria Distillery Is Dismantlcd
and Sold

Peoria pre-war monarch, detllroned
~ the Eighteenth Amendment TO the
constitution OF the United States, is
about to suffer the fate of Nicholas,
ruler OF all the czars.
Smoke has belched forth from the
tall stacks of the Great Western dis
tiicry for the last night, the wheels OF
industry there arc stilled for ever, and
within few months it will be known
only as historic epoch in the CONNER
cial and industrial life OF Peoria.
The great dstillery. the NAV OF
which kept hundreds of farmers at work
in the field. and which could convenient
ly hide $4,000 bushels OF corn in single
day, is about to pass into the hand of a
Chicago wrecking concern, which will
tear it down, salvage such OF the ma
ehinery and building material as pos
sibie, and sell the fourteen acres OF real
estate on which ii is located.
All That's Left
And with the passing OF the GREAT
Western distillery will disappear all
that's left of the SIS, 100000 capital stock
OF the American Spirits Manufacturing
CO., once known as the powerful whisky
trust.
For some days it has been known that
the American Spirits Manufacturing
Company had disposed OF the distillcry
but just as the deal was about to go
through Uncle Sam stepped in and filed
a lien against the property Tor the sum
OF $4,000 and interest said to be due
for taxes and penalties.
Immediately announcement was made
that negotiations were still pending and
t'1at it was possible arrangements could
te perfected for the transfer Of the
property early the coming week.
The proposed sale includes all the
property except the eight story ware
house in which there are still stored a
few hundred thousand gallons of the
stuff that cheers and made Peoria ia
