BROADCASTING

Some of our friends have been asking
us lately why they could not hear our

ing to get WWAE, but have not sue
ceeded.
Well, we are not surprised, for we have
not been broadeasting and WWAE. has
not been performing at all. The new Ra-
dio Commissioner, in working out his
plans for the proper adjustment Of radio
affairs, has required this station to make
certain changes. While these adjustments
are being made, the station is not oper-
ating
When they are finished, however, it
will be clearer and more satisfactory than
ever. There will be less interference and
you will get the messags more readily and
accurately than ever before.
The Commission has expressed interest
in this station because it is being used
largely for educational purposes. So if
you will be patient for little while long
er, we believe you will get more satisfac-
tion out of our broadcasting.
All improvements of the kind now be-
ing made, tend to make the station more
valuable for propaganda purposes and a
better investment for the money required

THANK YOU


In our last issue, we called attention to
an appeal made by the Anti-Sa1oon
League Superintendent of North Dakota,
calling upon the drys in that state to
send their protest to certain broadcastng
station at Fargo that was sending out
wet propaganda At the close of the
article, We suggested, "Why should not
the citizens of Illinois do likewise?"
Now, friends, some of you took little
too literally. You thought we meant to
send your protest to North Dakota, and a
number of you did so. From one Illinois
town, they sent in protest signed by sew
enty persons, requesting the station to
cease lending itself to wet propaganda.
We are glad that there was such an
enthusiastic response and are happy to
tell you that your protest accomplished
its purpose. The managers Of that sta.
tion have promised not to send out any
more wet or un-American propaganda. A
letter received by the superintendent is
as follows:
"Dear Mr. Gales
1--WE are very much pleased to inform
you that hereafter no slurring remarks
relative to prohibition or its enforcement,
will be permitted to go on the air from
this station"
"This new policy of respectful loyalty
to the Constitution and Laws of the State
and Nation has been adopted as the IRON
clad rule of this station, and all employees
have been instructed to act accordingly"
Now since your protest has accom-
plished so much good in North Dakota,
why can we not do as we'll in Illinois?
The Ant-Saloon League suggests to all
our readers and friends that when you
are listening in on any station and hear
slurring remarks made about prohibition
and law enforcement, please take pains
to find out what station it is and as soon
as you can locate it, send in your letters
of protest to that station, and get other
friends to do the same
Let us drive the un-American, treason
able stuff off the air.

Making Crime Attractive
when intelligent, educated men hold
UP to ridicule the rules for its conduct
which society has made; intimate, and by
innuendo and suggestion advise, that such
rules ought to be violated; ridicule and
revile as undesirable members of the COM
munity sworn to defend and enforce its
rules; devote their intelligence, wit, and
resources to making crime and criminals
interesting and attractive, why is it not to
be expected that the thoughtless, unfor-
tunate, the ignorant, the vicious, will try
TO get rid of the oppressors of the GRIM
inal in any way, by any means, by any
violence that will be most effective?
Day by day, because some one pays
for the doing of it, and because the great
body of law-abiding citizens is complai-
SAINT and says nothing to show its disap-
proval, fippant, jeering writers, publish
ers, soap-boX orators, cabaret perform
ers sow the wind; and society reaps it all
in whirlwnds which blast and destroy"
Lil1ens Rum Buying to Fence
The attorney general, without men
tioning prohibition, asserted that in buy
ing any commodity, traffic in which is
forbidden by law, the purchaser is di-
rectly sanctioning and rewarding vio-
lation of the law in exactly the same man
ner as does the receiver of stolen goods;
by making the transaction profitable.
1T will not do" he asserted, "to say
in the same breath, I believe in and de-
mand enforcement of the laws of the
country, and I will pay we'll any man
who will violate those laws. ATTY. Gen.
