BILL INTRODUCED TO REINSTATE LAW PROVIDING
FOR APPOINTMENT OF SPECIAL STATES ATTORNEY

Mrs. Anna Wilmarth. Ickes, representa-
tive from the Seventh Senatorial District,
has introduced into the House of the Gen
eral Assembly at Springfield, bill to re-
instate the statute which has been in eff
feet in this state for nearly half CEN
tury, providing for the appointment by
the court of special States Attorney
when essential to the public interests.
This measure is House Bill No. 314
It will be recalled that Representative
Elmer j. Schnackenberg, of the Thirteenth
District, Cook County, introduced, and
there was passed in the last Legislature,
measure which amended this law by pro-
viding that in the case of sickness, ab-
sence, or interest of States Attorney,
instead of permitting the court to ap-
point a member of the bar to prosecute as
special States Attorney, the Attorney
General must first be called upon There
was no occasion for such an amendment
TO this wholesome statute, except to pro-
tecG politically a derelict States Attorney.
Compared with other states Illinois has
little enough redress against derelict pros
ecuting attorneys. Many states have ade-
Guate removal laws. The Constitution Of
Illinois practically makes it impossible
to provide for removal of a States At
torney, except upon conviction for mis-
deneanor. The statute giving the court
the right to appoint a special States At
torney in cases pending before him, is the
only protection which the people have
when States Attorney refuses to do his

On March Il the Judiciary Committee
of the House Of Representatives recon-
mended by vote Of 18 to IT that the
Weber % Grady bill to repeal the Illinois
prohibition laws, should not pass. How
ever, on March 27, the House, by vote of
72 to 70 voted to put the measure on the
calendar.
1t soon became known that the bills
sponsors would offer an amendment to
add referendum clause on second read
ing. vote on such an amendment will
no doubt, have been taken by the time
this reaches the reader and the bill will
probably come up for third reading and
final passage within week or so.
The prohibition policy is firmly fixed in
the Constitution of the United States by
the adoption of the Eighteenth Amend
ment, and under our form of government
prohibition is beyond change by any state
except through that state acting with
thirty-five other states to repeal the
Amendment Manifestly no referendum
submitted by the State Legislature can
have any effect whatsoever upon the
legality or authority of prohibition
The American issue. [volume] (Westerville, Ohio) 1912-19??, 1929-04-01

The inevitable logic of the repeal by
state of its prohibition enforcement laws,
is refusal to uphold the Constitution of
the United States; it is notification open
and undisguised. 1t is the solemn duty of
the members of the Legislature to refuse
to vote for the submission of any such
proposition to the people.
There is a legal method available to
those who oppose prohibition. Opponents
of prohibition have the right to seek the
repeal of the Eighteenth Amendment. To
nullify the Constitution by repeating the
laws enacted to enforce it, is un-Ameri-
can and cowardly. To pursue any other
than the legal means of opposing prohi-
bition, is unworthy of the great State of
Illinois.
The Anti-Saloon League always has
been, and always will be in favor of any
fair and legal referendum touching any
phase of the liquor question, but is op-
posed to any referendum which if it
should succeed could only result in es-
tablishing policy which means nullifica-
ton of the Constitution of the United
States.

make your criticism constructive. There
will be no miracles performed in this bat
tie. The situation has grown upon us for
twenty years. But if this policy of con-
tinued pressure and vigorous and honest
prosecution continues, and there is proper
cooperation on the part of the police.
these evil forces that have controlled our
city will be compelled to yield
I'VE have much yet to do to clean up this
great city, but if we will just continue our
fight, all good citizens maintaining keen
and active interest in the situation, in
the course of a few years we will have
Chicago which will be worthy of her
proud skyline; and, commerce, industry,

duty. The judges right in this regar
should be unhampered. And no matte
how efficient and honest the Attorne
General may be, there is no reason 70
restricting the judge to this official in hi
choice of special prosecutor
House Bill No. 314 provides:
Whenever the attorney general or
states attorney is sick or absent, or
unable to attend, or is interested in
any cause or proceeding, civil or GRIM
inal, which it is or may be his duty
to prosecute or defend, the court in
which said cause or proceeding is
pending [shal request the attorney
general to prosecute or defend such
cause or proceeding, and in the event
the attorney general is sick or absent
or unable to attend, or is interested
in any such cause or proceeding, civil
or criminal, he may be thus requested
to prosecute or defend, or when the
attorney general fails or declines to
respond to any such request, the court
in which such cause of proceeding is
pendingl may appoint some competent
attorney to prosecute or defend such
cause or proceeding; and the attorney
SO appointed shall have the same
power and authority, in relation to
such cause or proceeding, as the at
torney general or states attorney
would have had if present and attend
ing to the same.
This measure should be enacted int
law without delay.

CHICAGO CHURCHES IN FIGHT FOR law ENFORCEMENT
United States District Attorney George E. O. Johnson Delivers Strong
Address Mass Meeting Urges Backing of An Aroused Citizen
ship to Clean Up Cook County

The Chicago Church Federation has
launched campaign of cooperation with
officialdom to drive the bcOtleggers, gam
blers and gangsters generally, out of the
city and county. The first meeting of a
series planned, to include community
meetings in various centerS was held in
Chicago Temple Wednesday morning,
April g.
United States District Attorney George
E. O. Johnson was the principal speaker.
Mr.. Johnson said in part:
"You are all familiar with the earnest
effort being made by the Office of the
States Attorney, the Police, and the
United States District Attorney to dry up
the sources of easy money that comes
from prohibition and gambling. I think
that never since prohibition went into
effect has such great progress been made
as has been made during the past two
months. But the work is not finished; it
is only commenced.
"Some have suggested that if we take
away the income from those engaged in
these lines of crime, they will engage in
other and greater crimes. This is mis-
take. We have had Wide-open town;
Notwithstanding, burglary and robbery
have increased from SO per cent to 100
per cent. Clearly the facts do not bear
out such theory Another thing if we
are once to recognize the position that
certain men are to be permitted to engage
in one type of law violation in order that
they may not engage in more serious
crime, then we may be morally certain
that the laWless forces will control our
city and we will be helpless. My impress
sion is that Wide-open town breeds all
kinds of crime.
81 believe that the tide in Chicago has
definitely set in the other way and that
the hoodlum gangs are beginning to break
because their sources of revenue are day
by day beginning to be cut Off And now
if we can have on the part of the public
and the agencies of the Federal govern
ment and the agencies of the state and
city, a continuous pressure with increasing
volume to cut off the revenues that go
into the Golfers of these gangs, SO that
there will be no more money to bind them
together; if the present policy Of destroy
ing the market places for the product of
the gang is continued SO that the money
does not come, gangs will go and we will
be through with them in Chicago.
SUCCESS ASSURED WITH CITIZENS
BACKING
"It will be desperate fight between
them and the power of the state and the
power of the government, but in this the
government will be successful if it has lie
backing and active cooperation of an
aroused, intelligent citizenship, mani
tested in a sufficiently aggressive cam
paign If we fail to obtain this backing
all will fail.
Nov no one resents criticism. Criticism
of public officials is quite proper. I in
vite it, and believe the States Attorney
does, but when you criticise, be sure you
have a knowledge of the facts Be sure
you understand the situation and try TO

IT PROHIBITS
Padlocks Adorn Samovar Doors !;
Closed For Year
Chicago Daily Tribune)

The SamoVar, night club located in the
basement of the building at 610 South
Michigan avenue, was literally padlocked
yesterday under an order issued recently,
closing the place for year for violation
of the prohibition law. Deputy United
States Marshal Joseph O'Neill affixed
strong government locks on both the
front and rear doors of the cafe.
The Samovar, like the Club Chez Pierre
and several other well-known places of
entertainment, was closed as the result of
observation evidence which tended to
show that while no drinks were sold, the
management allowed guests to bring their
own liquor and drink it unmolested.

coats, suits and dresses.
For afternoon wear with black
coats a leading designer shows black
suede gloves with crmine trimmed
tops. The combination of black and
