Would you, mother, sell your boy for the small sum of $6,000? Prof. Wilhelm Weygrant of Wurzburg says that if the entire civilized race would abstain from alcohol for thirty years then would come inv> existence the greatest transformation of the people the world has ever known. The czar of Russia has started a campaign against liquor in his empire. Col. L. M. Mans, army surgeon, condemns beerdrinkiig as it causes djU eases of the heart, h\er, kidneys and arteries, which invite death. The mortality of brewers between the ages of 50 and 60 years is three times as great as that of individuals who follow the ordinary occupations of life. Just think of giv­ ing 100,000 lives every year to drink! How much better to help save those lives. The following is what the Tel­ egram, a daily paper of Youngstown, O h i o , h a s t o s a y , w h i c h u n t i l a f e w months ago has advocated license but in the recent campaign has rendered valuable assistance to the dry side: "The drink bill of Maponing county is admitted by the wets tojae not less Ihau $4,000,000 per year. The sum is so vast that it is hard to comprehend it, and they have undertaken to figure out some cf the good things which might be done with it if this $4,000,000 were diverted from saloon tills to legit­ imate trade in the city of Youngs­ town. It would buy and pay for each year 2.000 little homes, costing $2,000 each. It womld buy and pay for 1,333,- 000 pairs of $3.00 shoes, or thirteen pairs every year for every man, wom­ an and child. It would buy 200,000 suits costing $20 each, or 10 suits per year for every registered voter. It would buy two $20 suits for every man, two $20 dresses for every woman and four $10 suits or dresses for every boy and girl. It would give every reg­ istered voter $200 to deposit in the banks, against the rainy day, every year. What do they get -now out of their $4,000,000? They have 400 men poisoned to death by alcohol every year; 0,000 men arrested every year by the i>o]ice; poverty and disease, hungry- children and heart-broken wives. Why not use that money that is now wasted on liquor to make happy and comfort­ able homes which are now destitute? Is it not worth the trial?" What will apply to that place will apply to our own township, which lias so many things to make it beautiful, if the evil was taken out. It will not make the taxes higher, as some say. Take, for instance, the state of Maine, not near­ ly as productive as Illinois, it has $225.10 in its savings banks for every man, woman and child. North Dakota has a per capita tax wealth of $2,000. Kansas, at the close of 1913, after a loss of two-thirds of its corn crop, had in its banks $200,000,000 and $1,250,000 in its state treasury. That shows the dry states are the most prosperous. L*. MMHIMIU* - ~ EDITOR PLAINDKALEB, V Dear Sir: You are certainly: fo be congratulated upon your fairness in throwing open your columns to all cor­ espondents, and your courtesy is high­ ly appreciated. In your issue of March 2*t there was an item which made one rub his eyes a n d w o n d e r i f h e w a s l i v i n g t h e ' i n state of Illinois. It was entitled, "A Move for Harmony--Platform Adopted by Saloon Keepers In Town of Mc­ Henry." Let me quote one item: "Whereas, the saloons in our territory have been left to their individual reg­ ulation and pleasure heretofore." This is a very naive and open confession. What do law abiding citizens think of this? What does the state's attorney have to say concerning it? Has Johns- burjf a local option law of its own by which it is allowed to vote itself out from obeying the statutes of the state of Illinois? But item 3 of this plat­ form is perhaps the most illuminating of all. In it they tell us what they are going to do in the future. Here it is in their own words: "To close the FRONT door of the saloon during high mass in St. John's church on SUNDAYS and holidays of obligation, and not to sell or serve drinks In the BAR ROOM PROPER during the principal morning service of the church on aferesaid days." Note that it is only the FRONT door that is to be closed- The BACK floor can remain wide open. And tho brinks are uot to be sola in the BAR ROOM proper during the PRINCIPAL morning service they may be served in any back place. But what of the Sunday Cioaing L*« «f tbe atate of Illinois, which says that all saloons shall be closed 'on Sunday? Does this not apply to Johnsburg? Let it be noted that this so-called platform bears the date of March 21, the day before Father McGr^th's lecture was called off. Does this mean that there has been some agreement between the saloon keepers and the church author­ ities at Johnsburg? What has Father Bcrthold to say lo this "platform"? Elsewhere in a paid advertisement of the same issue he is praised a good priest. Can it be that this avowed in­ tention to disobey the law has his approval? I sincerely trust not, for the priests of the.Catholic church are everywhere comiDg out as the foes of the saloon. In this so-called platform there is no reference to the laws of Illinois, under which we all live. These saloon keep­ ers claim to make their own law and trample the law of the state underfoot. The published intention of this before the election should, open the eyes of all law abiding citizens, and when the 7th of April comes they should vot&."tfES." A WORKER. KWKBAI.II PARK. Chas.

The Ostend school opened Monday morning after one week's vacation with twelve pupils enrolled. F. B. Thompson will have a milking machine installed this week, we hear. Have not learned what kind. Robins and blue birds have made their appearance. We wonder if they will get snow xta their backs this spring. The voters in this locality all go to McHenry to vote. The query is, Will it be wet or dry? Both sides are anxious. Time will tell, they say. Warren Francisco's horses that were so very sick and under Dr. Wheeler's treatment are well on the way to re covery and, reports say, will be ready for spring work. It seems to us some one with the power to work ought to see work to do if they would read a communication in last week's Plaindealer. If it is not an open confession, what could be? We learn that Ellis Jecks, on the farm known as the Julius Thomas farm Mr. Constant, across the line in Green­ wood township, and Mr. Cornweii, on the D. Abbott farm, have all contracted their milk at Bowman's, Ringwood. McHENRY ENTERTAINMENT COUKtt We have been requested to make a brief statement regarding this year's entertainment course in the manner of explaining to thejpublic why one num­ ber was not given. It will be remem­ bered by season ticket holders and the public in general that Osceola Pooler, who was booked to appear here on December 20, was forced to cancel her engagement for that evening on ac­ count of illness. The entertainment committee was notified that Mrs. Pool­ er would fill her engagement in Mc­ Henry on the evening of March 17, but owing to the fact th&t a hall was unobtainable the engagement was once more cancsled, or rather postpomd. Thru an agreement between the local entertainmem committee, which con­ sists of Prof. A. Edgar Nye, Carl W. Stenger, Simon Stotfel, William Spen­ cer, Dr. D. G. Wells, Rev. A. Royer and F. J. Barbian, and tl e Century Lecture bureau of Chicago, Mrs. Pooler will appear here in a special number during next season. Holders of last year's tickets are requested to retain same as they will be honored when Mrs. Pooler appears here next season. The entertainment committee has also made arrangements for another course to be put on here during the fall and winter months of 1914-15. This will be a course of five numbers and with the special of Mrs. Pooler wHl make it a total of six numbers. 42-2t i- about accounts that are . paid by check; it's the best evi­ dence in the world of payment made.
