the enormous profits once more flow Into their capacious pockets. What a disappointment the Wickersham report was to the wets. They protend it wasn't, but it made them stagger, and the parts unfavorable to them they skipped in publishing. Now they have recovered their breath and they have the "colossal gall" to try to make the Democrat party fight for their cause. Do you remember when Decatur had a population of 3.500 to 44)00 and 22 saloons and the four drug stores of that day, close rivals for patronage, and every village and town in the country from one to four saloons? All going from early morning till midnight, and the back door open on Sundays? Licensed by the government — but were they law abiding? “Not on your life." Workshops for the ruination of health, character and dependability. The creator of poverty, the manufactory of tears and misery and hearache! And Mr. Raskob proposes that the grrfat Democrat party shall bring the workshop into action once more. Are you with him? He says, "there w... be no saloon.” What does he propose to call it? “A rose under any other name will smell as sweet.” It will still be a sajpon! in the pre-Volstead days there were many laws to control the saloon. Did they do it? Were the laws better obeyed than now? Not by a long shot. It was Quite , common to see a drunken man reeling along the street, and the jail tull to over flowing. Did a young man never get drunk then? or a young woman? Alas, yes! Did no one ever die from the effects of liquor in those days of "personal liberty"? How many men in Decatur died horrible deaths with “Delirium tremers” screaming and crying there were snakes on the bed, crawling over his body? Dying in convulsions? How many deaths through liquor —< by accidents? How many through frenzy? A number of cases I call to mind, where "personal liberty” brought misery and disgrace. Do we want those days to return? Have you forgotten these incidents of the “personal liberty” days. Let us see what else Mr. Raskob says: A proposal “permitting states to manufacture, transport and sell liquors within their borders” which means, repeal of the ISth amendment. The effect of this would be to permit states so desiring, says Mr. Raskob, “to continue to operate under the 18th amendment with full protection of the federal government. States desiring to change would be free to do so without federal interference and could adopt any methods desired of restoring and controlling traffic.” So he intends some control by the states, does he? I thought there was to be "personal liberty.” But it seems he is going to prohibit something. Inconsistent it seems. Oh yes, there will be no saloon, he says. Ahem! He also says “each state will have complete control of the traffic." Then, what is going to prevent a state from insisting on its right to dispense liquor as it pleases. They can call their saloons what ever they wish but the world will know what they are. Why do the wets that are making so much noise through their propaganda—why do they "not give the hated prohibition law credit for driving the saloon which they now pretend to view with distaste artel disgust, from the country.” Is it not because the disgust is all a pretense? • According to Mr. Raskob, if the Democrat party sponsors the repeal of the 18th amendment and

“Love Marl' 9 Flourishes in Movie Colony ••••• • • • • Woman Bares Secrets of Love “Bazaar” and Tells How Girls, . Between 15 and 19, Were Card Indexed to Await Wealthy Patrons

By Alice Alden Hollywood, Calif. March 11 — (UP) —Youth for sale, beauty at bargain rates, wealthy patrons putting in an order for a lovely little blonde to add lustre to an evening's entertainment. These are the high lights of the story ot a hideous trafilcking in young girls that bus just been disclosed with the arrest of the principal figures in Hollywood's love bazaar. Details of the medium whereby beautiful girls could be ordered for an evening's entertainment — and no questions asked, where whispered about in Hollywood and its environs for some time, but the film colony is reputed to be shocked at the revelations of the far-flung operations and ramifications of t'be girl emporium where elderly millionaires could buy the attentions of a girl of school age. Mrs. Olhe Clark Day, one of the three arrested and arraigned on these hideous charges asserted that her stock, which was carefully card indexed and classified, was recruited from pick ups in the street, pick ups tnat were always young, fresh and pretty. Arrested with Mrs. Day are her common-law husband William Jobelmann, and John P. Mills, wealthyreal estate operator. Numerous girls including Alice Blake told the Dis trict Atorney of the activities of Mrs. Day’s “love market.” Two hundred dollars for youth and beauty. That as the standard price of the wares at the lovemart. The girls received approximately S2O each out of this. Twenty dollars in exchange for all that girlhood holds dear. No wonder Mrs. Day constantly reiterated to her girls that nothing was wrong, only thinking makls it so! And what of the patrons, the elderly men of wealth who made the business so profitable by their insatiable demands? One of them kept a regular order for a new girl each week and others were noted for frequent reorders. Many of them are known to be hiding from the authorities but it is believed that sensational revelations will be forthcoming when several millionaires are arrested and confronted with their victims. Surely the love syndicate could have selected no better location than Hollywood for their nefarious traffickings. Life is soft, it is luxuriously easy here and the eye is constantly dazzled by the beauties to be found iu even “one-arm” restaurant. For to Hollywood flock beautiful girls from all over the country, town girls, little timid "country-mouse” girls who never knew anything more exciting than a trip to the county fair, before they came West. Girls lured by the glamorous possibilities offered by the movies. Girls who are cer-

permits states "to manufacture, transport and sell liquors within their borders,” the federal government will be expected to protect the dry states from the wet states. T)o you remember when we had local option in Decatur? We had to go farther to protect the town, and make it a township affair. Then it had to be a county—then a state, and how hard i was to protect ourselves from wet states. Then states began to combine — local option spread until all the states in the Union but seven were livftig under its laws. Those seven, were dominated by the foreignhorn living within their state. Even with all these prohibition states, it was hard to protect these from the seven wet states. So much did living and economic conditions improve in the dry states by the dry states, by the time the Volstead law came up in congress as the 18th amendment to the American constitution, all but two of the wet states had voted dry, through the representatives they sent to their legislatures, and their instructed congressmen and senators voted “yes" for the 18th amendment. A state that has, voted dry will not tolerate a wet man to represent them in the congress. Let him vote against the wishes of his constituents and you know what happens to him. The congress of these United States is still dry.. “The most of the boundary lines of the United States are water lines. The two oceans, Atlantic and Pacific, the Great Lakes, the Gulf of Mexico and the St. Lawrence river, thousands of miles, but much easier patroled than the state line would be, if the border lines so clearly outlined cannot, be successfully patroled —and the wets say they are not, and cannot be, do you think they really expect the state lines to be successfully patroled? It is to smile! They know the patroling the states would be much harder to do effectively and they are not expecting that tt will be done. It would requite many thousands more government officials to patrol the state boarders, than it now does tlw national borders. Can't you see Raskob smile, too? Do you think the congressmen and senators from the wet states would vote for the increased appriation needed to protect tlie dry states? Do they waul the dry

states protected? What do you think? Do you not think they! would work as hard then to nullify the laws in the dry states as; they are now doing to break down the laws of the United States? ! Don't you think there would be I more racketeering then? In the pre-Volstead days, was it not the' practice of the whisky and beer traffic of the wet states to shove their products into dry states *in every conceivable way, in spite of the law? Do you think the wets are any more law abiding now?; What do you think would happenj to the dry states under Mr. Ras-j kob's proposed law ? Do you want the Democrat party the odium of, sponsoring it? of boosting something that “smellers to Heaven?”] I Will you reprint the following? ( Although it has reference to Governor Frank Roosevelt of New York, an outstanding wet, it is in line with my letter. It is as per-] tinent today in regard to Raskob] as it was last tall to Roosevelt, and !covers the present ground: "Dr. C. C. P. Hiller, of Malden, I Massachusetts, addressed a letter] to the editor of the Boston Herald under date of September 13 in an-j swer to the Herald's commendation, of Governor Roosevelt's 'brave and sane plan for the repeal of the 18th amendment.' The following are ex- ! cerpts from Dr. Hiller's letter: “He (Roosevelt) is pll for states rights. But why should the state be the unit? Why not the county, the Town, tlie ward or my half of the ward'? Suppose most of the people in my ward do not want drink, but 1 do, what right has the majority to dictate to me any more than the town or state or nation? j Up-state New York may not like to be governed by Tammany any, 'more than by Texas. “He favors state prohibition or city or town or ward prohibition so he says—with protection of the localities that do not want liquor. But how is he going to protect them? Does he no?know that state prbhibition and local option have been tried out in this country 1,000 times—and that it was because it could not be made effective that we have the Eighteenth amend- ■ ment? "He Is al! in favor of local de- ! termination-atid in the next breath says we must not have the saloon [back. Why not—if we want it in

beauties exquisite girls, who havenot worked steadily in months. They take work in stores, in offices in restaurants, glad often to do jobs [that they would never have thought of doing hack home. But others hang on, clutching at each shadowy hope : and promise, certain that'they will succeed. They often go hungry, thus ■! making them easy prey to the strati- • [ ger who talks to them so mympathe--1 ticaily while he stakes them to a good meal. With money gone, hope ! gone clothes shabby, dark despair ■ enveloping these beautiful crea’ures it is not difficult to see how Love Markets can flourish and constantly • replenish their stock, so that thei r wares can be kept fresh and allur- :| Ing. Far more terrible than anymanufactured melodrama is the - heart-rending story of Hollywood s • party-girl revelations.

I our ward? How can he guarantee] ] it will not be bacK and what right has he to dictate to us if we want ! it? “Every proposal he makes is old stuc,’ so old that it is mouldy, I unless it be that he is going to in- [ crease the army and navy around every ward and town and state there are to be thrown such bar- ' riers that no liquor can be smuggled in—and how can he guarantee I that there will be no corruption of officers and public officials then? “He is going to put ‘the control lof any sale of intoxicants wholly [in the hands of state agencies.' It is perfectly wonderful how he and ■all the other leaders, who oppose Iso strenuously every effort at govI ernment ownership or government [control, because publi| officials are slow, inefficient, bribable, corrupt' ! and a failure as compared with pri-1 [vate enterprise, are so eager to have the control of the liquor bus- [ j iness put into the hands of which they will not trust any business enI terprise whatsoever. There's a I reason.” Thanking you, An interested Party. O- T Monument to Mark Famed Comstock Lode Virginia City, Nev.

Overloaded kidneys also disturbed my sleep; I'd feel tired and draggy when I rot up in the mornings and have an awful backache.
