temperance organizations in years past
have been giving thorough study to the
referenda as proposed by the vets in their
campaign of agitation. AS result thirty
one cooperating organizations assembled
in a federated meeting and unanimously
adopted the following resolutions as an
expression of their policES<.
ReSolUed, That it is the sense of this
board thaNhe temperance forces of the
United StatSS should not be diverted from
the main iSspes in|,ahy election to So
called wet and>Jry referepda on tae Eight
zenith Anendmeat or thesnationap ,prohi-
authority under theponstit1G3on and which
are legally futile and can okzSe no >btnd-
ing effect. In any state refeenda having
to do with laws or State constitutional
provisions which will have legal and
binding effect the temperance forces
should take an active part.
In harmony with the above action Of
the federated temperance forces the Anti
Saloon League of Illinois, at it's annual
meeting held at Springfield, in May, 1890,
adopted the following resolution:
Whereas, 1t is the declared purpose Of
certain wet political leaders in Illinois to
bring on in the November elections ref
erendum upon the prohibition question;
therefore, be it,
ReSolUed, That we, the Anti-Saloon
League of Illinois in annual meeting in
line with our traditional policy declare
that all referenda not binding upon en-
forcement officers or determinative of leg
islative policies, are matters of indiffer-
ence to this League. We therefore advise
the churches and friends of prohibition to
ignore utterly this wet maneuver. Be it
known, everywhere that this call for a
referendum on the prohibition question in
the November elections is move of the
vets. Tt is part of the wet strategy to
keep the situation stirred up and con-
fused.
The real referendum on the prohibition
question is in the elections next November;
therefore we urge all friends of prohibi-
ton to concentrate upon the election Of
dry candidates to the United States SEN
ate, the national house of representatives,
and the legislature in Illinois, also to sup
port dry candidates for other political Of
fees that have to do with the enforce
ment of the prohibition laws

PUBLIC COOPERATION IN
PROHIBITION ENFORCEMENT
Business, Civic and Industrial
Groups Aid in Promoting Better
Observance and Enforce
ment of the Law

The department of prohibition enforce
ment of the federal government has is
sued a 70-page booklet entitled, Public
Cooperation in Prohibition Law Enforce
ment," which ought to be read by every
citizens interested in the observance and
enforcement of the law. The value of this
booklet as an educational medium to in
crease interest and intelligent cooperation
in the enforcement of prohibition, may in
some measure be grasped from the fol-
lowing excerpts.
Public cooperation is an important fac
tor in prohibition law enforcement
Leading groups in the business and civic
life of the nation are giving the govern
ment cooperative support and thus pro-
noting better observance and enforce
ment of the law
( Public cooperation has a vital bearing
upon the success of enforcement. In re-
cent years it has had a pronounced effect
upon the governments program to extend
enforcement lines extensively and defen-
sive1y.
The governments policy has been to es-
tablish cooperative contacts in important
channels of activity where better under
standing aids effective law enforcement
and helps the cause of good government.
Groups which manifest practical sup
port toward the governments detectives
include:
Railroads and express companies.
Real estate boards and property own
erS.
Civic agencies and enforcement leagues.
Public utility transportation companies.
The chemical and other industries
Automotive and allied companies.
Local traffic authorities.
Per1nittees handling non-beverage liq-
uors.
These few leading groups are cited as
typical examples of cooperative public
support. Tt should be noted that general,
cooperation of the public at large is evil
denced in substantial form in many other
private and seni-public activities which
cannot be elaborated within the limited
scope of this treatise
For the purpose of brief factual presen-
tation the cooperation of the typical
groups mentioned is discussed. Among
some business and industrial leaders CO.
operation is extended fundamentally as a
matter of good business practice and also
perhaps, in many instances, from whole
some patriotic motives.
Some business organizations voluntarily
foster law observance for sound business
reasons. This rule per1neates American
industry over a wide range. But law OBJ
servance, wherever it is manifested has
direct hearing upon law enforcement, by
the upbuilding of greater respect for
law and, in turn, lessening the problems
of enforcement authorities.
PROPERTY OWNERS BAN VIOLATORS
Property owners in many principal cities
have placed an ironclad ban upon speak
easy proprietors.
The padlocking of bootleg retail-sales
places during the past few years hsS.
prompted systematic defensive efforts by
leading real estate boards to evics indi-

SUPPORT LOTTTE HOLMAN O'NEILL
We, therefore, desire to direct the at
tention of the drys of Illinois to the cam
didacy of Mrs Lottie Holman ONeill who
has filed as an independent candidate for
the position Of United States senator. Mrs.
O'Neill was the first woman elected to
membership in the Illinois legislature and
has been reelected for four Successive
terms to that high Office. She is a woman
of high ability, and has made an adn1ira-
BILE record and has convinced her asso-
ciates in the legislature of her sincerity.
She has been true and fearless in support
ing measures she believed were for the
public good and has won the full conf
dence of all her constituency. If elected to
the United States senate her We1-knoWn
character and record will enable her to
represent the highest ideals of American
wonanhood. We urge all the drys of I'LL
nois and all citizens who stand for high
ideals in government and want clean pol
tiles to give Mrs. O'Neill their hearty and
unqualified support, and urge that they
us their influence with others to promote
her election.
IGNORE THIS REFERENDUM OF
THE VETS
In order that full attention may be con-
centrated on making her candidacy Sue
cess and electing her to the senate, which
we believe to be possible and probable
under the circumstances, we respectfully
suggest that the drys of the state should
not allow their attention to be diverted
to the referendum which the crafty vets

Golf is rapidly becoming .
big money sport. More and
more communities, particu-
larly those trying to sell
sunshine" to tn tourist
trade, are realizing that stag
ing a golf tournament for the
professional sharpShOOters Is
one way to attract attention.
Los Angeles was the mother"
Of that idea in California. as the
event there this week will be the
fifth annual $4,000 gathering.
Actually, however, the Texas
Open was the first to set the pace
In the money league, as the offer
Of $4,000 in prize money at San
Antonia was an unheard-of sum.
