In an article on "Out of Town Ad-
vertising," in which the question of
publishing advertising from outside
dealers who compete with local mer-
chants is discussed, The American
Press tell of an agreement of the Fort
Wayne newspapers with the local mer-
chants not to accept mail order adver-
4ising, and says:
A phase of the case Of particular in
Gerest to newspapers is that in similar
cases the post office department has
threatened to exclude newspapers from
the mails for agreeing with merchants
associations to refuse legitimate adver-
&ising because it comes from the out
side
1t seems to US that we shall soon
nave our newspapers edited in Wash
7ngton. The Journal has frequently re-
fused out of town advertising, without
any agreement, but with a view to pro-
tecting its best customers, the local
merchants.

The time is drawing near when the
caucuses will be held to choose dele
gates to the Republican State conven-
ton. 1t will be the most important
convention for many years, and the
delegations should be made up of the
best men in the party, men of ability
and sound judgment, representative
men. 1t will be for them to determine
the future policy of the party; to say
whether it shall be continued upon
present lines or whether it shall make
a new departure. 1t would therefore
he most unwise to pledge delegates to
any special course. They will naturally
know the sentiment of their commune
ties, but should be free, after an ex
change OF opinions with other delega
tions, to accept what would seem to
majority to be the wisest policy. 1t ii
hoped and expected that the strongest
men in each community will be presen,

Those who regard prohibition as an
unmixed evil, and who would substitute
for it license system. will find on in
vestigation that there are abuses under
license law. OF the Massachusetts
license law the Gloucester Times says:
Under the present law for instance,
take as an illustration city which may
legally have 80 licensed saloons. There
are 40 applications, which means that
10 applicants must be turned down.
Out of that number undoubtedly there
would be some undeserving ones, but
providing that there were but three or
four eligible ones, what reason is there
that they should not be given an equal
chance with the successful ones? I'm
der present conditions it is not an ex
traordinary occurrence for man who
has conducted a good, open-and above
board place, complying strictly with the
law. to be refused license, and in his
place, one be granted to a party with
Shady reputation and a police court
record for maintaining a liquor null
sance. This state of affairs seems to
cause large amount of complaint.
The Times says that the question as
to what suggestion is offered to improve
the situation is difficult one to answer.
and nothing acceptable seems to have
yet been put forth. One idea that comes
out prominently is the granting OF I'M
limited licenses; that is to allow any
who may desire to set up i'll business to
do so Droyidinp thew nav the necessary
license fee and conduct their saloons in
accordance with the law. That solution
would no doubt be satisfactory to the
opponents of prohibition in Maine.

the laugh remained with Butler.
