the wet leadership in the fight against the prohibition
commissioner bill in the Senate He led in the debate
against the and followed by such outsand-

cago who concurred in the unriendy sentiment OF Sen
ator Burgess He also voted against the division fines
bill which would have taken of every dollar of ex-
of the commissioners Office and he voted against
the necessary initial appropriation for this measure
Senator Burgess in his wet speech declared that he
personally dry and emphasized that he represented
what he considered the dries district in the state of
Illinois His declaration and his action did not square
with his vote which unaterably and unfriendy
to law enforcement The dry OF Illinois have been
too often deceived by candidates who when seeking cleo

forget those pledges after election yielding power
full wet to which every member of the Legsa-
ture is subjected If fight for decent government
and law enforcement is be successful we must elect
men to the Legislature who thoroughly dry at heart
and in principle and who be depended upon

Responsibility for Booze Deaths

With two Chicago policemen dead and one dying fol-

Inns called attention to for these murders He
said that officials outside the limits of Chicago who fail
to enforce the law provide places of safe refuge for boot

ties OF Morgan and Sangamon On the day the prohi-
bition commissioner bill voted in the Senate the
home OF Senator Searcy damaged by fire the time
this vote being taken and he therefore absent

When the division OF fines bill which took of the
expense of the commissioners office, voted upon
Senator Searcy absent.
When the appropriation bill for the salary of the COM

absent.
When the appropriation carrying the actual expense Of
the Commissioners office voted in the Sesate
Senator Searcy present and made speech in which
he attacked the Anti-Saloon League and ended by
voting against this appropriation for law enforcement
Senator Searcy claims he is personally dry but his

district OF Illinois is proof" he declared,
that prohibition can be enforced even
against the most powerful combinations
of criminals. Too often he explained,
prohibition enforcement fails because of
politics. Special favors are granted by of
fee holders who seek to advance them
selves politically thereby"
The Importance of voting at primaries
and elections was emphasized by the
speaker. "The forces of the underworld
are always intensely active on every cleo

their wants known at the ballot box Of

wishes of the vice and crime elements of
society"

Safeguards must be formed protect lves rights and
property IN case OF breakdown any part of the gov
ernmenta1 machinery When an emergency arises that
is too great for the local community county authorities
should act. When emergency creates conditions of
lawessness beyond the control of county officials state
help should be available When an emergency arises
too great for the state the help of the federal
should be available
prohibition commissioner law would simply have
provided the practical machinery in connection with the
prohibition enforcement problem to which the people are
entitled under form of government
With the defeat of the prohibition commissioner bill
through the deseron of ten representatives who had
been supported by the drys the state of Illinois was
robbed OF an important link in the chain of protection
against lawessness. County officials can aid local COM
munities in connection with prohibition enforcement
when necessary. But when county officials fail there is
no state machinery that can to the aid of the
community in the absence OF prohibition commissioner
The only relief that beyond the county is
the federal government itself This is not fair to the
state and it is not fair the nation is not fair to the
citizens of Illinois appeal for federal action by the
limited number of federal and through the opera
tions of the federal courts necessarily slow because of
congestion. At the time it is fair for the state
TO call upon the federal government until resources
of the state have been exhausted Both the plain COM
standpoint of facing situation in practical
manner and from the fundamental standpoint of sound
governmental principles and procedure the prohibition
commissioner bill should have been passed
The explanation for failure support this measure by
those who claim be enemies of the liquor traffic can
not be based either practical theoretical grounds of
good government The for failure to support the
commissioner bill be sought for grounds of per-
sona politics In other words the interests of prohib
ton enforcement sacrificed in interest of private
political advantage. Criticisms of the law its spon-
sors are merely raised smoke to hide personal
political motives.

Chief Collins States the Truth

I'VE would not have to endure the Gennas the Tor

This statement was made recently by Chief Collins
commenting murders by booze dealing gunner in
Chicago. Lawessness is like noxious weed. 1t must
be nipped in the bud. Lawlessess is like contagious

CHAPTER XIII.

Anthony Luttrell caught a slow
local train at Withstead--the sort of
train that serves little country places
all over England. 1t dawdled slowly
from station to station, sometimes
taking what appeared to be an un-
necessary rest at a signal box as we'll
1t finally reached Maxton 10 minutes
late, thereby missing the London ex
press and leaving Anthony Luttreu
with a two-hour wait
Waiting just at present was about
as congenial an occupation as being
racked. He walked up and down with
a dragging, restless step, and tried
unsuccessfully to shut off his tor
turing thoughts behind A safety cur
tain The time dragged iptoIerably.
Presently he left the platform and
went up on to the bridge which ran
from one side of the station to the
other. Here he began his pacing
again, stopping every now and then
to watch a train come in or train
go out. From the bridge one could
see all the platforms.
When an express rushed through,
the whole structure shook and clouds
OF white steam blotted out every
thing. 1t was when the steam was
clearing away and the roar of the
receding train was dying down that
Anthony noticed another local rum
ming in to the Withstead platform
lie bent over the rail and watched tn e
passengers get out--Just a handful.
There was a young woman with tw o
children, two farmers, three or four
nondescript women and a big man
with a suit case. Anthony looked at
the big man and went on looking at
him. Something about him seemed

neck in whatever secret enterprise
was being developed at Luttreli
Marches. He remembered the passion
in her voice when she SAID, II should
like to smash it ALL" and he remem-
bered how she had sung. Would .we
not shatter 1t to bits and then remold
IL nearer to the hearts desire?"
Whatever the thing was. he believed
she was in II up to her neck. So he
was silent, and Anthony was grateful
for his silence.
The silence was broken by a tap
ping and a rustling and the turning
of a handle. The door opened very
abruptly and Mrs. de Luttrelle March
made a precipitous entrance. She
wore a pink silk neglige and a bou-
doir cap embroidered in forget
nots, also an expression of extreme
terror--the cooks description of their
early visitor having prepared her 10
find Henrys corpse stretched upon
the hearth rug. When living and
annoyed Henry confronted her, she
clung to his arm and gazed round
eyed at the long, thin man who had

eyebrows that accompanied 1t brought
a sort of broken gasp to Mrs. March s
lips. She put out her hand, touched
his coat sleeve with her finger tips,
and said:
"Anthony--its Anthony-oh, Henry.
F, it's Anthony"
She backed a little at each repeti-
tion sof the name, looked wildly
around, and sinking on to the nearest
chairs burst into tears.
"Henry--oh, please. somebody speak,"
| she sobbed.

saying, do go back to your room,
mother" but it is doubtful whether
she heard him.
Gradually her grasp of his arm re-
Taxed. She walked slowly across the
room and stared with horrifed amaze
ment at Anthony.
He looked over her head at Henry,
shrugged his shoulders just percepti-
bly,, and made as If to turn back to
the window again. Either that shrug
or the family sarcastic lift of the
