The national prohibitionist., 1908-11-26
November 2e, 1908

Prohibition ticket can be brought to read The
National Proiibitionist, complete victory will be
assured four years hence.
This, then, is the most important work that
me local worker undertake. If he has an
\enrollment of his Prohibition party associates,
he should see each one, or see that some one
else sees him. and induce him to subscribe for
4 he National Prohibitionist. If he has no such
enrolment, house-to-house canvass should be
made for subscriptions to this paper. Such
canvass would result in his finding out who are
the Prohibition party voters in his community
and would be the best expenditure of time and
money that he could make. The introduction of
this paper into the homes of Our own voters in
his community would afford inspiration and Gre
ate an enthusiasm that would make more success
full all his other plans and help carry his party
to victory in the early future

THE PARTY NEWS
How Reporting Helps-How to Report

One of the important items of Prohibition
work is the reporting of party news
Whatever happens in any community that is of
interest and will be of inspiration to the work
ers should be reported and should be reported
promptly, while it is news, to the editorial office
of this paper. In the editorial task of present
ing matter in accord with its relative Importance,
and of preparing for publication letters and tele
grams from all over the United States, mistakes
are sometimes made; but it is the desire of this
paper to put before its readers report of every
important happening in the party, wherever it

paper is its subscription department., and to this
department The National Prohibitionist has de-
voted much during the past year.
The moral of all this explanation is that when
you receive notice that your subscription has
expired or is about to expire you should give
the matter immediate attention and send your
renewal at once, thus helping The National Pro-
Mbitionst to pay its own bills and to maintain
its present high standard.

THE CASH-IN-ADVANC SYSTEM
Why "The National Prohibitionist" Follows
the Rule of Disseminating at Expira-
ton of Subscription

here has been, 1t seems among some of the
subscribers of The National Pyohbitionist some
misunderstanding concerning the paid-in-advance
system which has been inaugurated by this paper
and followed during the past few months
Shall the paper be STOPPED 7Vhen the baid-ub
term Of subscription expires, or shall it be con-
tnned ON credit until the subscriber remezvs his
subscription or signifies his desire to discontinue?
That is one of the difficult questions that have
puzzled newspaper publishers for years past
Quotations from two letters received in the same
mail, some months ago, show the dilemma The
first letter was from subscriber to whom no
tice had been sent that it would be necessary to
discontinue his paper unless he should renew by
certain time. He said:
'What is the matter with you? Do you think 1 am
not good for dollar? Are you afraid you won't get
your pay! have taken your paper for years and
you ought to be acquainted with by this time. You
stop it and will never have anything more
to do with you"
The other letter was from subscriber whose
pald-1n-advance term had expired but recently
and who had received notice requesting re-
newal, but in the meantime had also received
the paper for week beyond the time for which
he had paid He wrote:
II have been watching see whether you are of the
kind of publishers who force their paper their read
by continuing send it beyond the for which
it was paid. Had you promptly discontinued I should
have renewed but that you have your paper
longer than paid for you may stop and never snail
subscribe for your paper again"
These are, of course, extreme cases, but they
represent the situation There is absolutely no
disposition the part of the publishers of The
National Pyohibitiomist to dstrust any of our
subscribers, but to extend unlimited credit would
require unlimited capital and even then would
inevitably result in loss For example: If one
thousand subscriptions, expiring on the first day
of October, are filled to the first day of Decem-
Der, and of the thousand 75O renew, but 25O
after having received the paper for two months
fail to renew, the loss entaied by the sending
of those papers for two months practically wipes
out the small margin of profit upon the other
75O subscriptions Upon the other hand, if that
thousand subscriptions had been discontinued
on the first of November, more or less nconve-
nlence would have been caused to the 75O people
who afterward renewed, while the expense of
removing the names from the list and restoring
them to the list, would have been considerable
and the expense of sending extra copies to sub
would have been even larger
The situation presents difficulty when viewed
from any angle, and is complicated additionally
by the fact that the United States Post Office De-
partment, under recent rulings from which,
whether they be wise or unwse, just or unjust
there is no appeal, has made it practically i'm
possible to carry any considerable number of

RENEWING SUBSCRIPTIONS

Importance of Acknowledgements to Bills
the Breath of Life for the Pro-
hibition Paper
Each month thousands of letters go out from
this office to subscribers whose terms of sub
scrlption are about to expire Upon the prompt
ness of the responses of the thousands of far
scattered Prohlbtonists to these notices the life
and work of The National ProhibitiomiSt depend.
Paying up" subscriptions is not wholly bust
matter. For the Prohbitionist who is in
trested in the success of the cause, there is no
more important more practical party work
to be done than to keep his subscription for The
National Pyohibitonist paid in advance Doing
this furnishes the financial support for this paper
that is necessary to carry on the work which
! we have to do.
The National Pyohibitionist expends more
money for original Investigations and careful re-
search along lines relating to the Prohibition
question than all other publications combined
This paper furnishes the inspiration and enthu-
slasm by which thousands of men retain their
interest and courage to carry forward the work
of the Prohibition party. To do all this requires
the faithful support of every reader.
1t is important therefore that when our sub
scribers receive notice that the term of their
subscription is about to expire they should give
prompt attention and send to this office at once
the price of their renewal If the grocer from
whom you buy your household supplies should
ask you for payment upon your account and
should explain to you how necessary it is for him
to collect all the money possible in order to
meet large and pressing bills, you would feel
under obligation to do all in your power to
help him.
There is no real profit in publishing The Na-
tional Prohabitiomist at one dollar per year. It
is a popular price for weekly paper of a size
and character which, if published in any other
interest, would command subscription price of
from dollar and fifty cents to two dollars
and fifty cents per year. The subscription price
of The National Prohibitiomist has been placed at
the lowest possible point in order to reach as
many readers possible with Prohibition truth,
argument and inspiration.
Since The National Prohibtonist was estab-
lished year ago, every effort has been made to
conduct the business affairs of the paper upon
thoroughly approved business lines. One of the
causes of failure for so many Prohibition papers
in past years has been the lack of systematic
attention to the business needs of the enter
prise.
