American Press Association, proof
sheets Of plates they are authorized
to furnish free to any newspaper
which will receive and publish them.
They do not purport to come from
the liquor men, but from the "Soci-
ety for the Promotion Of Modern
Thought on Government and Nor
ais" upon application to Ph. Rap

one of the articles in these proof
sheets discusses some phase Of the
liquor question, but particularly 10

Several OF these have first been

There is only one reason Why Mr..
Rsppaport should give himself so

vice to the impecunious newspaper
man without a conscience, is not to
be in too much of hurry in accept

to fill up your pages; the liquor
men have a big corruption fund,

think will recompense you for pros

to the championship Of the saloon,
and consequent degradation and
ruin of the home?
We would suggest to Phalanx
readers that they be on the lookout
for papers that publish any Of these
articles, and report them to US. A
newspaper that would use this
plate service in its columns, thus
assisting to propagate talse and dan
gerous ideas, ought to be branded in
its community as an enemy to So
ciety. Among these articles are !:
"Drink and Civilization" "Law
and Morality" "Raines Law Ho-
tels," "a Bit OF Comparison !;
