GANNETT NEWSPAPER
CHAIN DRY

(The Presbyterian Advance Nov. 6, 1990)
A real dry" is Frank e. Gannett, news
paper publisher and he tells why: After
watching booze ruin men, I made up my
mind that if 1 ever got a chance I would
fight it.
But found out another thing in that
bar-room apprenticeship, got to know a
good bit about the business of selling liq-
uor. You see the bars of that day weren't
running wide and open. Far from it. So
ciety had already decided that the COM
nerce in alcoholics was different from any
other trade and that, for safetys sake, it
had to be under rigid restrictions So the
bars and saloons were restricted techni-
cally. Actually. of course, they were
scarcely restricted at all
In my estimation the prohibition laws,
today, are far better enforced than the
regulation laws Of a generation ago. There
is something inherently laWless about the
business. It is no more capable of accept
ing social restraints than the product it
dispenses is capable of melting men to
good behavior And the worst thing about
the liquor corruption of a generation ago
was its extent.
I'm aware that we've got plenty Of
bootleggers and speakeasies today. But
bootleg and speakeasy corruption is mild

corruption that we had when the liquor
business was legalized.
To-day we have some corrupt judges and
enforcement oficers-as a product Of Gq-
uor laWleSsness In the old days, however,
liquor lawlessness dominated city govern
ments, corrupted state legislatures and
reached into congress. I don't like our
present liquor corruption. But I greatly
prefer it. bad as it is, to the kind of cor
ruption that we had when society gave
liquor legal place in the community

newspaper publishers of the United States
publishing seventeen papers and all dry!
Certainly his statement deserves attention

ing the Eighteenth Amendment and the
majority of the vote which adopted it,
leave absolutely no room for quibbling
about the binding power Of this amend
ment No legislator of Illinois who has any
regard for the public sentiment of his own
state and the nation, or for the general
welfare of his state or nation, can afford
to give his vote for repeal and thereby go
on record as nullfying the constitution Of
the United States
The Weber-O'Grady bill was advanced
to third reading. Tuesday, February 10,
was set for final consideration Of the bill
IN the house.

JUST LIKE RHODE ISLAND

Rhode Island, one of the two states
which did not ratify the Eighteenth
Amendment started its legislative session
the other day by introducing a bill amend
ing the state enforcement act and proyid-
ing for beer and wine and also a memorial
to Rhode Island senators and representa-
tives in congress urging repeal of the
Eighteenth Amendment. Rhode Island
can be counted on to carry out the widest
wishes Of the opponents of prohibition.

LIQUOR TRAFFIC'S GRIP ON
ENGLAND

On November 5, there occurred in Lon
don, the annual meeting of the True
Temperance Association" one of the
aliases used by the British liquor interests
in defending their trade" At this meet
ing, Rev Arthur Day was one of the
speakers. He is quoted in the Morning
Advertiser, the chief organ of the liquor
interests as declaring that "if a public
house was conducted on really worthy
lines, he should claim that it had right
to stand longside the village church. 1t
was serving real, useful, wholesome, and
almost HOLY purpose"
Think of preacher urging that a grog
shop be opened next door to his own
church! 1t is an indication of the grip
that the traffic has upon England.

FEDERATION CF LABOR TO
WORK FOR REPEAL

The Miami CFlorida) Herald according
to Associated Press dispatch, says the ex-
ecutive council of the American Fedora
ton of Labor in session in that city has
approved the establishment of headquar-
ters in Washington of labor's legislative
committee for modification of the Vol
stead act. The Herald says a conference
will be held in Washington, February
1924, to plan campaign for the COM
mittee.
President William Green, of the fedora
ton declined to comment on the plan
merely saying THAT will be another
story some other time."

RATS! RATS! SIXTY RATS!

The other day a wildcat brewery near
Williamsport Pa, was raided. The Ter
mentation yats that had been filed were
destroyed and drained off The vatS had
remained open at the top and during the
night time both vatS and rats had ap-
parently come to the conclusion that.
since human rats liked the stuff, why not
real When the liquor had been drained
off sixty of the rat family besides many
of the bat family were found dead at the
bottom.
The VilIiamSport San describing the
conduct of the spectators indicates some
thing of what it is to have a thirst for
booze. We quote from the paper:
DEAD RATS IN VAT
The huge fermentation vats had not
been covered and after the beer had been
drained from one of the four vats in the
refrigeration room, about sixty dead rats
and some bats were found on the bottom.
Regardless of the dead rats being seen
in the vat, many Of the spectators who
visited the premises this morning searched
every corner to find some drinkable bev-
erage that might have been overlooked by
the prohibition men. Several Of them were
successful, having found few bottles Of
beer. Several other men were holding up
cans and barrels to drain out the last few
drops. A few drinking tunblers were also
found and they were used to advantage.
The doors of the building were open and
most of the windows were broken so that
it was no trouble to enter the place. The
odor of beer is still very prominent.
One of the men ther2 this morning was
collecting pieces cf wood to use as fire
wood
This account was preceded by an orig
inal poem by an original reporter as fol-
lows:
THE CATS AWAY THE RATS
WILL PLAY
The federal men came into town
And after taking a look around,
On "Wildrat' brewery did pounce down
While countless regulars" watched and
froWned.
"Yo no." and few big vats they found
And amber fluid flooded the ground.
Axes flew and pumps were wrecks
AS federal men cleaned up the decks.
The yuletide cheer of wildcat" beer
That flowed from the wildcat" vats
When they were drained of liquid clear
Was found to be favored with rats"

All right, Mr.. Wet, repeal the Eight
eenth Amendment if you can, but until
you can, have the wisdom and patriotism
to obey it.

The only persons who say more liquor is
consumed now than in saloon days are
the ones who are bowling for more booze.

ARGUMENTS OF OPPONENTS OF
REPEAL


Hon. Geo. II. Wilson was the first
speaker against repeal. MIR. Wilson pointed
to the concurrent power clause IN the
Eighteenth Amendment which puts the
responsibility upon the states to enforce
prohibition. He called attention to the
fact that the Eighteenth Amendment can
not be enforced in Illinois without state
enforcement law and that SO long as the
Eighteenth Amendment is in the conStl-
tuition it is the duty of the state to provide
efficient enforcement measures. He also
called attention to the fact that if the
state law should be repealed there would
be no obligation on SheriHs and other
police officers, or in fact, any state or
local officials to enforce the national pro-
hibition law He concluded: Every men,
ber of this house has taken an oath of
office to support the constitution of the
United States. Does this consist in knock
ing the props from under the constitution
by repeating laws enacted to enforce it?
say to you it is your duty under the con-
Stitution to vote against this repeal bill.
It is the sacred duty of this Legislature to
see to it that the prohibition enforcement
law is not repealed until they have placed
on the statute books another law just as
effective to take its place. II you want to
repeal this law you should hold 1t on sec
OnQ IedUlilS ulllll yOu lldNC u olaOoGituIC
to introduce to this legislature Otherwise
you will turn the state of Illinois over to
the lawlesS liquor traffic. You will make it
a bootlegger's paradise
Mrs Mccullough said in part: "There
were many American homes destroyed un-
der high license and low license. If in
America homes are now destroyed 1t is not
because of prohibition, but because of the
breaking of prohibition laws. Prohibition
ought not to be blamed for the breaking
of the prohibition law. If there is anything
the American home needs it is to have
liquor kept out of it. We want our homes
safeguarded. The American home is being
benefited in many ways by prohibition
We will fight to retain those benefits, and
right and the home will eventually tri-
umph."
Mrs. Mccullough hotly resented the use
of Abraham Lincolns name in telegram
received from Mayor Thompson, of Chi
cago, which asked the legislature to repeal
the Illinois prohibition laws She briefly
sketched Lincolns battles for temperance,
and his loyalty to the constitution, and
predicted that if he were in the legislature
