enforce this law the same as other laws,
if they do not chose to do so, they should
be retired to private life at the first cleo

The federal prohibition departments

It has been demonstrated TO the citizens
of Illinois during the past year that 1t IS
not very far cry from moonshining and
rum running to attempt to murder and
ruthless destruction of property. Every
bootlegger is potential murderer. The
1awless liquor forces and their allies of the
underworld have thrown down chai-
lenge which presents a supreme test TO
the citizenship OF this State.
There isn't any excuse for non-enforcc-
ment of the prohibition law in any county
or city in Illinois. States attorneys can
prosecute criminally with jail sentence
for all the main offenses, and for a sec
ond offense, penitentiary. Places where
liquors are illegally manufactured, pos
sessed or sold may be closed for a year
as nuisances. Automobiles caught trans
porting liquors may be confscated by the
county City attorneys are empowered to
close places as nuisances where liquors are

In the above news item we have one Of
the outstanding reasons why the Ameri-

and wine program OF the vets to succeed.
The drinking of Intoxicating liquors of
any kind is out of tune with the age. High
powered electrical machinery is on every
hand; in our mines and factories, on our

nerves are the sine qua non of the opera
tors of these machines, for their own
safety and that of others. Liquor drink
ing interferes in marked degree with ac-
ton that requires accuracy and quickness.
And a man may become just as incapaci-
tated from drinking beer or wine as from
drinking whisky. Science and common
experience leave no doubt on this point.
Alcohol, in whatever form taken, numbs
and befuddles the mind.

The formal organization of the Anti
Saloon League of Illinois took place July
II, 1893.
The League was the agency which car
ried on the fight outlined herein.
The first local option bill was presented
to the legislature in 1901.
Through a wet trick in the 1905 ses-
sion the vets attached referendum to
the Local Option bill and then defeated it.
In the 1907 session Of the legislature
local option measure providing town
ship option was furthered by the Anti
Saloon League and enacted into law.
Wet Retreat Begins
In the 1908 election more than 1000
townships were made dry under the new
law, and over 1000 saloons closed their
doors.
Illino;7 docs FEa- Pas
Seventeen of the Illinois Congressman
in the lower house voted to submit the
Eighteenth Amendment to the states, and
only seven voted against it; thus Illinois
furnished more than her share of the nee
essary two thirds vote for submission.
In May, 1918, over 1,40O townships,
maximum of 1,6l6. and 81 OF the 102
counties were dry under the township
option law There were 917 dry cities and
villages as against 243 wet ones.

Illinois 10th State to Ratify Eighteenth
Amendment
Illinois was the first big state to ratify
the Eighteenth Amendment We did it as
number 20, two days before Nebraska, as
number SO, completed the requisite num-
Der of states to make prohibition the law
of the nation.
Legislation to Enforce the Eighteenth
Amendment
On May l, 1919, the so-called "Search
and Seizure law" was passed by the SEN
ate by the decisive vote OF % to II, after
a hard battle, IN which the vets exerted
every possible resistance; the house pass
ed it by vote OF 80 to 81, after three
hours debate, following one of the hercest
battles in all our legislative history.
The "Illinois Prohibition Act" as our
Seft laW n fas n. W. n =
1921 session OF the Legislature. The wets
put tip a stiff fight all along the line
against this measure. The drys won it
III the senate by 80 to L, and in the house
by 81 to o. This is a complete law en-
forcement code patterned after the Vol
stead Act, and was made necessary in or
der to place. Illinois in harmony with the
National Prohibition Law.
1t is one OF the strongest enforcement,
codes on the statute books of any state.

OLD COURT HOUSE TOWER
WATCHES CITYS GROWTH
View Greatly Changed Since it First Reared Its Head in
1872-PonderouS Bell Described.

The new war memorial plaza to
the north; the elevated railway tracks
winding away on the south; smoke
curling from factories on the west
and more industrial buildings on the
eastern skyline.
This, in short, is birds-eye view
of Indianapolis from rare location
the block tower of the Courthouse.
OF course, after the first glimpse,
comes the view of residences and
apartments lining street after street
on all sides.
The clock and tower have a GER
tain amount of romance about them.
When the Courthouse was first
erected in 1872, the tower was used
as a watch tower for the fire de-
partment. From this place, fire were
spotted Later when the Mer-

as the mainspring-if it may be
called that-unwinds.
The pendulum weighs 100 pounds
and is held to the clock mechanism
by a strip of steel not more than
one-sixteenth of an inch thick.
Nowadays the tower. but seldom
viewed by outsiders, is merely a
place where courthouse employees go
to wind the clock and to which citi-
zens glance to see the time. There
are four clock faces, staring into
the four main points of the COM
pass.
Long Climb
The climb to the tower is a long
one. Two fights of stairs to the
first room, with nothing in it. An
other fight to the clock bell, which
sounds on the hour and half-hour.
Another set of stairs to the mechan-
ism, and several more flights to the
base of the flag staff at the towers
top.
From any one of these places, In
dianapolis appears to be under ones
hand.
Commissioner George Snider. with
whom the reporter made the climb,
said: 'If the watch tower men were

Part of its romance are stories of
Frank Graham, once a Waterman,
now deceased, who was able to name
each and every church in Danville,

was in the tower. This twenty-mile
view is only possible, though, on a
clear Sunday, when factories are
