ABOUT LIQUOR ADvERTIsEMENTs

The secretary OF the Wilmington
Prohibition Alliance" sends us copy
OF resolution recently passed by that
body:

Then, too. the chief Advertisements
that occur IN the newspapers are those
containing the notices of applicants for

OF Delaware has provided in its laws
that each applicant must give notice Of
his intention through the columns Of
the press. Aud why is this provision
made? Not to help the saloons; not to
aid the newspapers, but TO give our
good temperaace friends notice that
they may file remonstrances and other

The newspapers are tho most power
ful agencies Of reform. yet FOR them
to live they must accept that form of
business which is legitimate and
which is sanctioned by the laws Of
the state. Should our friends succeed
in having the legislature pass a pro-
hibitory law, the press would then
