Showing what really did happen, Mr. Regan said that first year the city was dry new homes were built. Although fifty-six saloons were shut up, making fifty-six empty stores, new business interests soon took them over and in less than six months there were seven | new stores in the city, one of which is the largest in the state outside of the women who were present, telling a story about a certain woman who slowly drawled, “the men don’t do like the women—but they do like them.” Pastor Maier also facetiously re- marked on the fact that a man’s coun- try is called the Fatherland, while his Janguage is called the Mother-tongue.

Mr. Re- gan was the first Illinois state senator ever elected on the prohibition ticket @nd he was the principal speaker, to say nothing of entertainer, at the ser- ond annual banquet of the New Brit- ain Prohibitionists held in Jr. O.

Te then made some statements that are most amusing as well as interesting. He declared, and said he could prove, that the Val Blatts Brewing company of Mil- waukee is not owned by German in- terests but is really owned by an English concern with offices in Lon- don. The New York Brewing com- pany, Ltd., a $16,000,000 concern, is owned by a London company yet the American tax payers, by permitting | present conditions, are enriching its owners. Kills German’s Taste For Beer. He then told what he said is a true story from St. Louis where he de- clared that of the great liquor in- terests there $19,000,000 worth are owned and controlled by British com- | panies. He said he embodied this in an address in St. Louis and the next | day was accused by a burly German i who told him that he had been brought up on beer, but since he had learned that it was controlled by Eng- lish his taste for that beverage had been spoiled. Mr. Regan also told of the Cincin- nati Brewing company, Ttd., which ; is-owned by British interests with offi- ces in London. He declared that re- cently the German citizens of Cin- cinnati held a monstrous parade in which they voiced their protest against permitting the vast profits from this American concern to go to England to help finance the war. Mr. Regan also wove into his illus- trated talk a large number of other arguments, all of which proved, he said, that national prohibition is coming and when comes it will prove a boon, than a curse, to the nation. Mr. Hohenthal, of Manchester, also talked of the prohibition movement and the strides that are being made s did the Rev. Mr. Griffin of Granby.
