When will people learn that social
led advertising mediums' other than
newspapers, are, - an exceedingly
general rule, the merest trash. almost
Invariably fraudulent in their preten-
sions, and never valuable advertisers?
A regular issue of publication con-
taining matter of intereet to the COM
munity can not fail to attract atten-
ton for its intrinsic merit. but the
mere advertising dodge is without
attraction to the public, and becomes
really disgusting to people of sense on
very slight inspection. Still we sup
pose many business men claiming or
binary shrewdness will continue to
dole out their ''fayors, programmes"
which fail to direct, and s.guides"
which are blind as their patrons; and
by this uncertain tenure the poor
things hold on to life, intrnde into the
places of their betters, and strive to
defeat the ends Of legitimate business
in more than double sense. Aud in
this petitilarceny of one of the main
springa Of trade, the robbed makes
himself, with surprising complaeency,
particeps criminis with the robber.
There is but one way to stop iniquity,
and the means to this end are entire
ly in the hands Of the people. Let
business men Ike il q rule TO adver-
tise in nothing but newspapers, under
any circumstances, and they will lose
no trade by strict adherence thereto.

society-the traffic in whisky. Never
until our legislature does this, shall
we succeed in removing intemperance.
Without this, the woman's movement
viii spend its strength, and after
time, we shall lapse back into intem-
perance again-all experience proves
this. Moral suasion and legal enact
ment must go hand in hand. No
great national evil was ever effectually
put down by moral suasion alone 1t
is only when the moral sentiment of
tho people is backed up and sustained
by the law, that evil can be effectually
restrained in community constituted
as society now is.
Father Matthew spent years In the
Temperance Reform, and got four
millions Of people to abstain. Ireland
became sober. But alas. he failed to
call upon the legislature to sustain by
legal enactment the moral standard
he had raised against the traffic, and
the result is we have to fight the bat
tie over again. The Washingtonian 3
movement proves the same. That
movement converted thousands over
to Temperance, bet after that great
wave subsided, the community lapsed
back into their previous intemperate
condition--and why? Because our
legislatures licensed men to carry on
the drink traffic, and thereby tempted
men to drink and fall again. So it
ever will be until, by stringent laws,
we RESTRAIN men from following
business which tempts men at every
turn to drink and fall. We can not
regulate the business. The only effec-
tual way is, to put a positive and abb
solute ban upon the traffic az
In St. Louis they undertook to Ii
cense prostitution, thinking that
would regulate and remove, to a very
great extent, the social evil But the
result has proved a most lamentable
failure. Instead of lessening the evil,
it has most fearfully increased it. So
ciety there is rapidly becoming de-
praved under this legalizing of prosti-
tuition. Hence, the people are now
struggling with the most herculean
efforts, to have that law repealed. So
it must ever be-the licensing of an
evil always proves abortive in restrain
ing it. The only sure way is for the
law to put its veto upon every pursuit
which initiates against the public
good. Last week the jury gave a ver-
diet of q, 600 against a saloon keeper
in this city. The people hail it with
delight as new and glorious era.

How They Cooperate in Englnnd


The system of cooperating in Eng
land is pretty generally all Tn the same
plan. A machine shop established in
Millwall, Middlesex county, near Lon
don, employing over two thousand men,
NAV be taken as an example. The
most notable feature is the rotation in
office, which is deemed necessary to
secure society against frauds by design
ing or dishonest officers. The names OF
the members being arranged alphabeti-
cally on the books, the different officers
deemed necessary to carry on the bu-
siness are chosen from this list; no OH
Ger, however, holds his situation beyond
one day. If any member thinks him.
self not qualified to take any office
when his turn comes, the next volun'
teer is chosen. Thus the whole of the
workmen in their turn 60 though every
official department, and Of course be-
come acquainted with the whole routine
transaction. No one has salary OF
wages above another. Whatever the
department any one fills they are on
an equality. Experience has proved
it necessary to have no distinctions OF
privilege of one over the other. In the
same spirit no one is allowed to have
more than one share in the establish
ment, and Of course only one vote in
their general meeting. This is to pre-
vent any assumption of power or intiu
ence under the plea of larger vested
interest.
