LAW ENFORCEMENT
CANDIDATES WIN
Illinois Cities Defeat Officials For
Laxity in Office.

Three typical news dispatches from
three OF the leading cities in Illinois
show the tide of public sentiment rel
ative to law enforcement. They show
that public opinion is becoming more
and more decisive in its demands that
the law be enforced. The three dis
patches, including headlines, are as
follows:

States and
Whereas, The Nolstead law can
only be amended or repealed by ap-

Whereas, A beer and wine refer
endum was also held in this state on
direct contravention to the Constitu-
ton of the United States and under
the law of Illinois could not be bind
ing upon the voters, hence was a
mere straw vote and known to be OF
no force or effect, which said straw
vote has been given undue publicity
as liquor propaganda; therefore,

Property Rights Endangered

If constitutional government shall
be broken down what guarantee is
there for the protection of property
or the safety OF life or the sactity of
homes of our wives and daughters?
Yet the man who patronizes the boot
logger or in other ways violates the
liquor laws is by his own example in
vitng the violation OF all law. The
burglar who breaks into your house
has as much right to violate that por-
ton OF the Constitution that guaran-
tees protection of property as has any
citizen to sncer at and break the law
prohibiting the sale of Intoxicating
liquors.

Setting Bad Example

Anarchy begets anarchy and the
citizen who III SNUG sclfsatisfaction
violates the liquor laws will have no
good cause for complaint if the forces
of disorder follow his lead and UNDER
take to pull down the whole fabric of
constitutional government
The man who patronizes a boot
logger is as much criminal as the
bootlcgger himself.
Workngmen are obeying the law
better than their employers. But en-
ployers will soon wake up to the fact
that they cannot long have dry shop
and a wet Office.
The Eighteenth Amendments will
not fail, but if it should fail the fault
will be not with the rum runners but
with the so-called decent citizens who
did not have courage enough to fight
on TO final victory.
Prohibition is on trial-it has less
to fear from the activity of its enemies
than from the lethargy of its friends.
The Beer and Wine Question
The wine and beer proposition must
be defeated-it is an attempt to de-
feat prohibition by subterfuge. The
New York Legislature has taken the
lead in proposing evasion of law and
notification. Notification of law was
shot to death at Gettysburg. New

Business Men Warned

Some lawyers and bankers and
business men act as if they thought
they were privileged to violate the
law TO suit their appetites
There is a radical sentiment in this
country that would ignore all laws
and constitutional guarantees OF life
and property Bankers, business
men, professional men stand to lose
most if these forces OF red radicalism
have their way.

Scores Anarchy in Chicago
Address
DRY INACTIVITY
Is DANGER NOW
Beer and Wine Would Mean The
Return of Saloons
MOST STATES OUTLAW BEER

Senator Frank b. Willis of Ohio in
an address before group of Chicago
citizens interested in prohibition en-
toreement warned that liquor lawless-
ness would lead to anarchy. He
pointed out that to preserve prohibi-
ton and protect the nation from the
inevitable result OF liquor lawlessness
II will be necessary for the drys 10
continue their activities In speak
ing OF the plan TO legalize beer and
wine Senator Willis named the
various states in which the alcoholic
content is limited by state law. Pre-
ceding Senator Willis ON the enforce
ment program Dr. Elmer L. Williams
OF the nti-Saloon League fixed
responsibility for lawessness in Chi
cago upon city officials At the close
OF the meeting, which was held at the
Great Northern Hotel on April 10th,
resolutions were adopted relative to
the Chicago enforcement situation.
These appear elsewhere in this
Issue.
The address by Senator Willis was
i'll part as follows
II the temperance forces are to
withdraw from this fight now they
might as well never have commenced
it, The Eighteenth Amendment is
in the Constitution but it will amount
to nothing unless it is enforced and
it will not be enforced unless it is
sustained by public opinion In the
great cities public opinion is now uu-
friendly to law enforcement. IN

eeedingly smart thing 10 produce a
