Y ou--are too young to have personal knowledge of' conditions 'préviouts to national prohibition, therefore are flot to'be blamed for susceptibility to the propaganda of those, who soughit to dis- credit prohibition and, secure its- repeal.. The ob- ject nowis flot to present a brief for prohibition, but to point out to you that the saloon, even thouah il be càlled 'a '*tavet'n,» is nôt the lily- white institution that some would have you be-' lieve. Tbey tell you that during the bootleg era more liquor was consumned than when saloons flour- ished, which is pure fabrication. Otherwise, why promise that repeal would bring economic re- covery throughi a tremendous increase in that business ? They point to the criminal alliance between bootlegger. and crooked politician as sound ar- gument for the return of the saloon, but do. not tell you that the saine alliance existed before prohibtiion, thle saloonkeeper occupying the place of the bootlegger in the unholy cômbination. What they de flot tell you is the effect that saloons have upon the commun ity, which is ai- ways destructive. We direct your attention to a few reasons why: The saloon invariably lowers the moral, spirit- ual and cultuiral tone of. any localit.y in which it is permitted. Ask your parents why they becanie residenits of the north shore, and they will probabl1y tell you it was because they found here the character- istics of a neighborhood in which ,the.y could pro- A t the primary élection to: be held Tuesday,. April 10, a precinct coznmittueenian for each party will be elected in each precinct in. Cook county outaide of Chicago, to serve for two years. Every voter should look closèly into the caliber of these.-candidates a nd assist in electing able andefcin persons to this important office. The two major*parties maintain organizations through and by which they conduct their busi-ý ness, perpetuate their principles, manage the vani- ous primary and election campaigns.and endeavor to, nominate or elect their candidates. Th.e most humble and yet one'of the miost important offices, in the machinery is the precinct committeeman. Some five hundired of these officiais. are, now çelcted in Cook.county outside of Chicago. Thlese committeemen'assist in nominating, the judges of the Circuit. and Supierior courts, and are members by Iaw of the County conventions o f their respective parties. It therefore becomes apparent that the character and efficiency of a political party is determined- by the character and type of its preicinct-commtitteemeni. It is un- fortui#te that ab~le and high class mien and wom- en often hesitate to beconie candidates for this office. If the electorate could be brought t o realize the importance of this very foundation of' the respective parties, induced to look carefully, into the character and qualifications of ýcandidates for precinct committeemen, and to elect only able> and conscientious men and wonen to these posi- tions, the political complexion of the two great parties could be changed within a very short time. *While the precinct committeeman occupies a lowly office, lie is an important cog in the party machinery.- He is most closely iin touch with the voters. 'Hé works aniong. his neighbors,. and should have the confidence of the electors. With- out his help the organization could not exist, be- cause he is its very foundation. For these rea- sons voters should' select with tare the candidates for tiais, office to whom they will :accord their indorsement. Z In A.

Dr. Wirt's evidence ini sup- port of hjs charges lias yet to be placed before t he great jury of American citizens, to be weighed by thiem and judgment rendered. Whatever, that judg- ment may be, his assertions will have the bene- ficial effect of opening the eyes of the American people to many of the fallacies and inconsisten- cies of the national recovery program, and cause them to ask "What about it?" Also, to dmn an answer. 0f first importance will be the query Why, for practically every measure adopted to bring about economic recovery, another has been set up. which. retards or niakes it impossible. They will want to know why industry is required to short- en hours and raise wages, while the goverument is cutting wages and working its employees long- er hours. They will want to know why payments te veterans have been reduced while huge sums have been scattèred broadcast to increase pur.- chasing power. They will want to know why the. government is attempting to force banks to adopt a liberal loan policy while at the saine tume it: imposes regulations that prevent the banks front lending. These and many other questions will corne up that the professors willfind difficulty in answering to the satisfaction of an aroused pub- lic opinion.
