ALL RIGHT, BUT NOT FAR ENOUGH.
The raids on the ''soft drink parlors" which are spotted as
hootch joints, as conducted b) the police Saturday, arc all right i
far as tlicy go. They demonstrate an effort on the pari of the
xlicc department to .In something t" stop tin- business, all of
which is highly ronimendable; but the trouble is that they don't go
far enough, i'mlcr the rulings of the courts an evidence of sale is
alm st absolutely necessary in order to secure a conviction, in
both cases where the raids were staged hootch was found and to
any ordinary person the evidence w uld be strong enough to con
vince him that it was riol there for "use in the arts," lut it is loubt
ful if anything serious will be A ne it; either case. These arrests
are a good thing inasmuch as they will serve notice on those inclin
ed to hrcak over that the citj police will not let them u" imm Jested,
but they won't put much "fear of 'k" in the big fellows the men:
who "iijjht I" he landed t'"r the public good.
In spite of the fact that the board of supervisors evidently
don't care to molest them until next September, it is not very pro
bable the big boys will he let alone until that time. The conditions
are t notorious tor the officials t lay off because of a lack ol nerve
mi the n.-irt of some supervisors and direct objection to law enforce
ment on the part of others. It is a cinch, judging from past
record, that the stale's attorney will make the most of any evidence
that he may le able t" get t" prosecute a cheating saloon keeper,
and we don't believe the sheriff has any idea of laying down, even
with an election in sight. The public demands more than a raid di
a joint that cuts little ice in the game while the big ones are notorious
ly doing business, and will not he satisfied with the bringing in f
an occasional "still" from the hushes.
The refusal of the hoard t i authorize any extraordinary expen
diture of county money by no means need bl ck the game, and with
the reCQra being made in Chicago and ether places in the State, I today
the people of La Salle county are justified in demanding action here

The appended letter was written by
Rev. H. F. Lawler, of the First M. E.
Church, outlining results obtained by
the Fairfield Business Men's evan

tures made by the religious workers

as follows:
"Ottawa. III., Doc. It, 1921.
"Rev. H. A. Kramer,
"President Ministerial Association.
"639 Illinois Avenue, City.
"Dear Rrother:
"Yesterday afternoon I went to Ke
waneo to see the Fairfield Business
Men's Gospel Team in their taber
nacle meeting. I could not get In tho
tabernacle- it was 'ladies' night,' the
first of such services they have ever
held. N'o man was allowed In the
tain made, not even the janitor. Sev
enteen hundred women and girls at
tended this service and filled every
seat in the tabernacle.
"This special service did not inter
fere with Inquiries in regard to the
to the little park shone out 'Taiier
nacle- Tonight' Perhaps the huild
Ing and the presence of the. taber
nacle itself was the best advertise
ment of all. The one daily newspaper
has been generous In Its reporting of
this community event.
"One man said the meeting had not
come at the right time In this indus
trial city, when people were, so de
pressed by business conditions. An
other told me the meeting had not
made over the town, as he had hoped
it would, but then he added that it
would be rather a large contract for a
six weeks' meeting. Still another
complained that, the church people, in
tnany cases did rot get interested in
the meeting untol the fifth or sixth
week. One lamented that the people
had not been able to get some to at
tend the tabernacle even as much as
once. This was the only unfavorable
comment. I heard, and some of the
ones who made, such comment told of
many things which they thought were
verv good Indeed,
" 'Do the evangelist! have any hob
bies?' I asked of one man who had
missed but one or two of the meeting;?
in the entire series.
" 'Yes, Harper has one that shows
in nearly every sermon. It is repent
ance, lie thinks that a man ought to
be sorry for his sins, and be an out-and-out
Christian.'
""Has the evangelist and his help
ers been fair to all the churches?' I
asked of the Presbyterian pastor.
" 'Absolutely,' ho ansewred, 'and the
longer the party stays the better we
like them.'
" 'Who will profit most by the meet
ing?' was our Inquiry of the member

"His answer was: 'Those who have
put the most work and co-operation
into it. Up to date there have been
about 64 0 penltentp, and the record

church In the community. German
Lutheran, Catholic. Christian Science,
tts well as the evangelical churches;
who have worked hardest, like Pap
