In 1902 careful analysis was made of the vote

of the subscription list of the Defender by towns
A comparison of the two made startling demon

Editor of THE NATIONAL PRoHIBITIoNIsT -
A tree is known by its fruit and this is just
true of paper as it is Of tree. Instead of
telling you what kind of paper you making,
I will tell you little story.
Recently l met a police officer of New York
city and from association we became quite we'll
acquainted When he discovered that I am
Prohibitionist he seemed to think he had found
a curiosity and piled me with conundrums and
a few of the stock arguments against Prohib-
ton; all of which I answered as best I could.
Finding that he was honest and in earnest in
seeking for information, I handed him The
National Prohibitionist with marked article.
After I had given him three perhaps four
with articles marked, he told me this story:

Why the Statements of ''The National Prohi-
bitonist' Can Always Be De-
pended Upon

1t may properly be said in connection with
this write-up of The National Prohibitonist, that
the keynote of the editorial policy of this paper
is absolute honesty and fairness. The present
editor of The National ProhibitoniSt has been
intimately associated with the editorial work of
the leading Prohibition papers of the country for
many years, and has adhered strictly in all these
years to the principle of not only publishing
nothing concerning the truth of which in
doubt, but as we'll, of being prepared to
firm and establish the truth of every important
statement made 1t is significant fact that
never in all our work in Prohibition journalism
have we ever been obliged to retract an impor-
tant statement never have we been convicted,
though often violently accused of fraud or found
guilty of Misrepresentation This is because the
policy followed has always been to be sure of
facts before publication.
That policy we shall continue to follow and the
reader of this paper may unhesitatingly depend
upon its assertions and may use them in speech
and argument without fear of refutation

test will be renewed for December, and all work
ers will be eligible for the prizes to be awarded
after January L.
The object of these cash prizes is to stimulate
additional interest and activity on the part of
the workers in the field. We want to enlist at
least one thousand persons, men and women, in
the effort to secure ten thousand new subscrip
tions for this paper before January 1, each per-
son pledging himself to secure at least ten new
subscribers before that date. If you have not
already enrolled in this effort, send us your

plies, sample copies, etc, that you can begin
work at the earliest possible moment.
There are doubtless a large number of Pro-
hibitionists in your community who will sub
scribe for The National Prohibitiomist if the mat
ter is brought to their attention The present
affords a golden opportunity for advancing the
Prohibition cause more effectively than ever be-
fore.

enlist, and an enrolment blank will be found on

IN THE MATTER OF ERRORS
Attitude of This Papers Business Office To-
ward Subscribers Always Fair and
Generous

In this general discussion of the paper and its
work it is not out of place to say a word con-
cerning the attitude of the business office toward
subscribers
The standing orders in the office of this paper
are that subscribers shall be treated with the
utmost fairness and that, whenever any question
arises between the subscription department and
any subscriber the subscriber shall be given the
benefit of the doubt.
Mistakes sometimes made. In handling
list of many thousand names and conducting
a correspondence with not less than seventy-five
thousand people every year. errors are unavoid-
able. Sometimes these errors are to the disad-
vantage of the subscriber and sometimes to the
disadvantage of the paper, but we lament them
chiefly when a subscriber suffers injustice be-
cause of them, and we always more anxious
to correct mistake than a subscriber can be
to have it corrected.
Any subscriber in whose case we make a
mistake confers a favor upon the management
of this paper if he will write promptly calling
the attention of our business office to the mis-
take Unless he does this the chances are
thousand to one, that we will not discover the
error and will be unable to correct it.
