MESSAGE OF The STATE SUPERINTENDENT

OH can hardly realize what heavy
burden rests at this time upon the shoul-
ders of the Anti-Saloon League men. The
bitter and persistent attacks upon the
prohibition policy by large number of
great newspapers, which are not open to
us tor reply, must be counteracted. Young
people growing up in our schools and col
1eges must be instructed and fortified
against the insidious dangers of liquor.
They mus be made to understand what
precious heritage the prohibition law
IS, how much il has cost to obtain it, and
to what extent their own welfare and that
of humanity in general is involved in
maintaining it.
Political strength must be maintained
III all parts Of the country in support of
this law or it will be repealed The same
evil forces which fought so hard against
enactment, are now working just as hard
to prevent enforcement, discourage the
public, alarm politicians and thus secure
the repeal of the dry law.
In the midst OF these terrible cross cur
rents, the AntiSaloon League stands
practically alone. 1t is the one agency
which foes of prohibition fear and to
which conscientious politicians look for
protection when they are in danger be-
cause OF thei. loyal support of prohib-
ton. Conscientious voters rely on the
League for guidance and our supporters
in the churches are constantly calling for
assistance. All are looking to the Anti
Saloon League The vets with fear and
the drys with hope because of its great
reputation for doing things and accom-
plishing what it undertakes. The whole

HELPING THE WORLD

s.. In another column we are printing an
interesting news item from the Manches-
ter Guardian concerning recent Local
Option meeting held there The fight is
on in earnest in many lands across the
waters to destroy the greatest enemy of
peoples and races the beverage liquor
traffic. Such activity as is evidenced by
the above news item ought, indeed, to be
an encouragement and inspiration to the
forces in this country who have it within
their power to demonstrate to the world
the blessings that come to a nation free
from this curse. Such news emphasizes
the responsibility that rests upon Amer
lea in this great undertaking.
. John Barleycorn has his back to the
wall in every civilized country" is Pussy
foot Johnson's summary as to the pro-
gress of world wide prohibition "In Ger
many the prohibition movement is econ
omic; in Norway religious. In France
there is a strong organization fighting
spirituous liquors. In England industrial
considerations suggest to the stubborn
Britisher the need of some curtailment of
liquor consumption" He sees American
laborers producing much more per man
than in England, as much higher wages,
with high material standards prevailing,
and he is wondering how far prohibition
in America may explain the difference.
Drys of Illinois, by helping ourselves
through adequate enforcement of the law,
we are helping to usher in new day for
the people of other countries who are
fighting against tremendous odds to save
themselves from degradation and ruin
being wrought by strong drink

CRIME AND ALCOHOLISM UNDER PROHIBITION

The wet spokesmen in the last Illinois
legislature in advocating the Weber
O'Grady bill to repeal the State prohibi-
ton law tried to lay the increase in crime,
including burglary, robbery and even
murder, to the Eighteenth Amendments
Their assertions were generalities, the
oft-repeated propaganda, for which no
definite facts or statistics have ever been
presented. As a matter OF fact, these
crimes of violence were increasing in
this country at a tremendous rate long be-
fore prohibition Students of criminal pro-
cedure and sociology have come to pretty
definite conclusions for this increase.
Note these figures which go back as far
as statistics are available: Beginning with
1913 there were 1902 homicides reported
to police in the United States as against
only 332 in the whole of England and
Wales. In 1925, there were 7,778 homi-
cdes in the United States, large de-
crease in view of the greatly increased
population, as compared with IA for
1925 in England and Wales. These fig
ures, while a very sad commentary upon
our country, certainly quite clearly show
that prohibition is not the cause OF any in
crease in the so-called crime wave
Deaths from alcoholism have been
played up as having increased at tre-
mendous rate under prohibition. It is
true that in the last few years, there has
been an increase in deaths from alcohol
ism apparently over the first years OF pro-

PROHIBITION In THE UNITED STATES
DISCUSSED At RECENT ENGLAND DRY Rally

One OF Our Chicago subscribers has
sent us the following interesting account
from the Manchester Guardian of Thurs
day, October 20, 1927:
The Free Trade Hall was crowded last
evening for the annual public meeting in
support of local option for England and
Wales Professor Gilbert Murray pre-
sided, and the speakers Mr.. Left. Jones,
Mr. Philip Snowden, NJ. P, Viscount
Astor and Dr. Alfred Slater, M. p, ad-
dressed themselves to the following res
olution, which was passed with enthus
asm:
That in view of the urgent necessity for
curtailng all unproductive expenditure,
for developing our home markets, for in
creasing the efficiency of our workers in
all classes of lie, for reducing unemploy-
ment, for improving the health of the
nation, and raising the standard of living
and happiness, this public meeting de-
mands from Parliament that the peo-
pie shall be empowered to protect them
selves against the liquor traffic in their
own localities by their direct votes.
Philip SnoWden said:
1--WE are saving about four hundred
millions a year, which is the figure we
saved before the war, whereas, il we were
actually saving as we saved then, we
should be saving nearly double that sum.
What is the effect of this lack of saving?
It makes capital dear and therefore it in

hibition. The vets who are now trying to
use an increase in deaths from alcoholism
as an argument against prohibition, are
the ones who through a concertive prop
aganda to belittle the law, caused the en-
foreement Of the early years to become
lax in the great eenters Of population, re-
sulting in a temporary increase in deaths
from alcoholism.
But to show what prohibition enforced
would have done to decrease deaths from
alcoholism, we need only make compare
sons between the years under the license
system and the first six years of prohibi-
ton; in the first six years. 14,46o fewer
men and women died Of alcoholism than
would have died at the average prohibi-
ton rate OF 1910-1917.

community is being served and its best in
terest promoted.
10 meet these demands costs more
money than we can raise without your
help. 1t is expensive business. Great
financial liquor interests at home and
abroad, are banded together, working
against you for the destruction of prohi-
bition. 1t is impossible to stand still. By
your past efforts you have achieved won
ders. All working together we can still
advance. A large amount of difficult and
very important work must be done in our
state before the next primary election.
A short time ago we sent out an ap-
peal asking for special contributions for
the campaign which is now upon us.
Many of Our friends responded some
quite generously. But the total amount
received is but a beginning of what is
really needed and SO we are sending out
this second appeal asking most urgently
that you place in Our hands the funds nee
essary to do the work you desire to do.
Please do not fail the cause and us, your
servants. We are not exaggerating the
dangers before you, nor the good you
can do by helping generously. MOTH
ING IN THE WHOLE COUNTRY IS
SO IMPORTANT RIGHT NOW AS
PROHIBITION SUCCESS.
Please visualize to some extent the
blessings prohibition is bringing to our
country and make a sacrifcial offering to
sustain it.
THANK YOU.

State Superintendent.

IRELAND LAUDED

This Is Subject Of Speeches
 in London

London. March IS [2,-Praiss Of Ireland as a nation was the keynote of speeches at a St Patrichs Day ianquct in London last night. The grIrcipal speakers were Lord Oxford and Asqulsh and former Premier Ramsay Macdonald.
 Lord Oxford disclaiming a drop Of Irish blood in his veins, distrc- ton he said he shared with S. Pat rick, declared Irishmen and Scots mon had proved themselves the equals if not the supcriors, Of their .~elitary foes, the Enelishmen and he believed that the mass Of the people in both Ireland and England HOW were determined to promote re couciliation between the peoples, who ought never to have been divided.
 Ramsay Macdonald spoke of how Ireland, now launched among the nations of the world, had begun tn develop along her own lines and in accordance with her genius.
