Would these wet legislators introduce and secure the
enactment of measures which would adequately pro-
tect the public from the evils of the liquor traffic or
would they introduce and secure the enactment OF
measures to protect the liquor traffic? And what
about the interim between the time when the state
and federal laws are repealed, and the period be-
tween the time when the federal law is repealed and
a new state law enacted? This manifestly does not
worry the blinded, frenzied vets. They would have
chaotic, anarchstic conditions to dScredit prohbl-
ton and to reestabsh and reintrench the old liquor
traffic. They apparently want no laws that will et-
fectively curtal control liquor traffic Their chief
and only concern seems to be ample freedom for
liquor An informed public will not fail to properly
appraise this situation The challenge clear Pro-
hibition is at stake. And that isn't all. Constitu-
tional government is at stake.
With the nation graphing with lawlessneSS with
the judiciary and the bar the clergy educators and
pubcists warning against this condition which has
yearly been assuming increasingly grave proportions
and Threatening the republic as other foe from
within or from without, our public servants in the
legislature are surrenderng to the head and front
of lawlessness the organized forces of booze and
Doodle!
Rumor has it that Capone and his gangsters are
already planning to set up a number of big brew
cries to be ready to manufacture high powered beer
as soon as the repeater becomes state law. Where
will they locate their breweres? So far state &C
ton is concerned if the OGrady-M bill be-
comes law the gangsters will have absolute free
dom Of choice-any Of the 101 counties or all of
them will be equally helpless to prevent modest
them
The honor of Illinois is at stake The constitution
and all law is at stake If decent citizens not
aroused by this battering down of the pillars of the
temple of government, they need not be surprised If
they awaken ere long to find the whole structure in
utter collapse. J.H.C

A Study in Headlines

In reporting the address of Chairman Wickersham OF
President Hoovers law enforcement commission delivered
before the Boston Chamber of Commerce last week, the
newspapers give interesting study in headline writing
The headlines of the wet group of newspapers for the
most part told their readers that the chairman of the
committee declared that report wet. Some of
sham declared the report more wet than dry.
The wet headlines were based on Mr.. Wickershams
statement that he thought that the Interpretation of the
report document would have afforded more encour-
agement to the vets than to the drys. The fact is
the commissions report declared against repeal of
the Eighteenth Amendment against the restoration in
any of the legalzed saloon against the federal
state governments such going into the liquor bust
and against the proposal to modify the national
prohibition act to permit manufacture and sale of
light wines and beer Thus opposition is voiced against
practically every proposal the vets demanding If
they wiring from these four declarations COM
fort than the drys they welcome to it.
But they not, clearly stated by Mr. Wickersham
in his Boston address in which he said: I'm the past
there much complaint of the intolerance of prohi
btonists but this character of late to have been
appropriated by their opponents and concludes that
apparently large body of antiprohibonsts expected
the commission to find way for them to liquor
with and were enraged when we failed to do So
"Some of of whom feared that any of the
notifications proposed Gin the individual opnions) would
inevitably lead to the restoration of the licensed saloon
with all the evils of the institution in the past and there
FORE unwilling at this time to abandon all further
efforts to bring about general observance of the Eight
eenth Amendment"

The Eyes of the World Are on America

The eyes of the world are on the United States Of
America today before. The government, the
press politicians statesmen economists sociologists STU
dents of international affairs and the general public in
every civilized nation in the world intently watching
developments in connection with the American problem
If the national prohibition experiment in America
should fail and other governmental policy be subs
tuted for the Eighteenth Amendment, that result would
practically preclude another prohibition experiment
national scale in any other country in the life of the
present generation while the beverage alcohol traffic
would be its in each of the several countries of
the world without radical change
On the other hand if the experiment here in America
under the amendment should succeed the probabilities
that within third Of century, the social economic
and political forces of most of the leading nations of the
world would demand and the adoption of similar
national policy dealing with the liquor traffic.
Considering the undispued fact that the liquor traffic
Is outstanding factor in the economic and social life of
every civilized nation, the results of national prohibition
in the United States and the influence of these results
the social structure of other nations may effect the whole
trend of the world civilization.
The opportunity which is thus presented to the friends
of prohibition in America is of real proportions From
the obligation which that opportunity creates there can
be no escape.

THE DANGEROUS PROGRAM OF The VETS
HONOR OF ILLINOIS AT STAKE

The state senate by the minimum number of its
membership necessary has voted to repeal the ILL
nois prohibition act and the So-caled search and
seizure" law concurring in the similar action al
ready taken by the house of representatives.
The position of the advocates of repeal is: Prohi-
bition enforcement is not effective, therefore we will
improve the situation by taking all Illinois peace
officers and prosecuting attorneys off the job, pre-
vent any liquor from being tried in the state
courts and thus turn the state to the volatorS
of the prohibition amendment-in order to better
enforcement conditions
The gross inconsistency, and the real anmus
which motvates the defeatists is further emphasized
by an additional wet just introduced, House
Joint Resolution No. 36. 1t proposes that the state
legislature memorable congress to repeal the ma
tonal prohibition law and all other federal laws
acted to enforce the Eighteenth Amendment. In
other words, having done all within the legislative
power to secure notification of the amendment by
the state they propose that the federal conSti
tuition be likewise nulfed by congress. In brief, the
people are to have absolutely protection from the
evils of the liquor traffic The liquor traffic declared
by the United States supreme court to be a major
source of crime, and misery, is to be given carte
blanche to prey upon the public unmolested. Fed
era and state laws enacted the years to protect
the people from the deoralizing traffic in alcoholic
liquors. are to be scrapped and the people led like
lambs to the slaughter with not vestige of law to
protect themselves. This is the avoWed, officially re-
corded objective of Illinois vets.
True their last mentioned proposal the resolution
calling for repeal of all federal laws enacted to
force the prohibition amendment suggests that after
they have accomplished their purpose of repeating
all state and federal liquor laws, other state laws are
to be enacted to regulate liquor traffic. What kind
of laws? And by whom would they be written?

It may as truthfully be said today that those who
are holding the reins in the vets frenzied drive
against the Eighteenth Amendment and its enforce

PROTEST AGAINST ADOPTION MISREPRESENTATION

A resolution introduced by Representative James
) Boyle 18th district Chicago, calls upon the Illinois
legislature to petition congress to repeal the Illinois
Prohibition act and all federal prohibition legSla
ion. The resolution in full follows:
HOUSE JOINT RESOLUTION No. SO
Whereas, The Eighteenth Amendment to the
constitution of the United States provides that
congress and the several states shall have con-
current power to enforce the provisions of the
amendment by appropriate legislation and
Whereas, great majority of the individual
reports of the members of the WickerSham
Law Enforcement Commission favor modi-
fication of the present stringent prohibition
regulations; and
Whereas, The repeal of the present federal
Northumberland to as the VolStead act
would of itself and without the necessity of
constitutional change return to the several
states the whole subject of prohibition regu-
lation for legislation conforming to popular
opinion and demand in each particular state;
now, therefore, be it
ReSolUed By the house of representatives of
the ffty-SeUenth general assembly, the senate
concurring herein, That the seventy
congress of the United States be respectfully
requested to repeal the so-called Volstead act
and all federal prohibition legislation; and be
it further
ReSolUed, That copy of this preamble and
resolution be transmitted to the president of
the United States, the vice president, and
speaker of the house of representatives of the
seventy second congress ana TO each member
of the senate and house of representatives of
the seventy-second congress from the state of
Illinois.
Not content with repeating the state prohibition
avs, the vets are determined that the federal law
Is well shall be repealed In other words, they arr
quite willing that the lawless liquor forces shall
nave absolute freedom to prey upon the public with
)ut let or hindrance. 1t seems almost inconcevabt
hat even the most rabid opponent of prohibition
would be willing to go to such lengths.
Tt has often been stated that the liquor dealers O.
he days of license, particularly the brewers whc
leld virtual monopoly on the liquor business were
argely responsible for the coming of prohibition be-
cause of their utter disregard of all decency in TIT
conduct of their business.

Wrongly Convicted in Rob-

ConfesSeS HoId-up.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW MARTINSVILLE, w. Va, jan
uary 16.-Instead of having to report to
prison tailor shop, there to sir
through the day at sewing ma
chine, Frank Howell today breathed in
the pure, crisp West Virginia noun
tain air and enjoyed his first full day
of freedom In Ia months.
The man, released yesterday from the
State prison at AIoundsville after serv-
ing time for crime he did not COM
NIT, planned to spend today with his
parents, MIR. and Mrs. Joseph Howell,
on their farm just across the border in
Ohio. He spent last night with his wife
in their modestly furnished apartment
here.
Howell, convicted OF robbing the Jack
Colts filling station at Fairview Sep
TENDER 5, 1929, was released after a
confession by Mrs. Irene Schroeder and
w. Glenn Dague that they committed
the robbery. Mrs Schroeder and Daguc,
under sentence of death for the Staying
of Pennsylvania highway patrolman,
told their story recently to West Vir-
GINA authorities in the Lawrence
County Jail at New Castle, Pa.
Howell is lenient in his attitude
toward those who identified him as the
filling station robber at his trial.
We'll, we all make mistakes" was his
only comment.
