WORK OF LOCAL PAPER.
Vitalizing Centre For Social UpbuiId-
ing OF Town, Says DR.. Shaw.

DIR. Albert Shaw, editor of the Re-
view of Reviews, in a recent address
before the national conference of char
tiles and corrections in Buffalo, N. Y,
on The Opportunity of the Publicist
for Social Betterment," said:
z 1t is as reasonable to expect of a
newspaper that it shall be guided in
it's conduct by motives of the public
welfare as to expect of a physician
that he shall not minister to social
debasement by disseminating harmful
drugs.
When the editor of local news
paper has symmetrical and construc-
tive idea of what human progress
ought to mean for his town or his
county he is ina fortunate position.
He can help to do world of things
for improving the schools and for max
ing them minister to the refinement
and prosperity of town and country
life.
He can use his paper in the endea-
yor to. bring local methods of dealing
with poverty and crime up to the best
standards. He can cooperate with
every group and agency that is maxi
ing his region more intelligent, more
attractive, better governed and more
obedient to the law
Thus he can make his paper an III
stitution and vitalizing centre for
the social upbuilding of the town in
which he lives-an institution which
can supplement and coordinate the
work of the churches, schools, the
agencies for charity and relief and all
other instrumentalities for social prog
ress.''

PROHIBITION BEGAN in EDEN.
This Argument Was Made by a Dry
Advocate and Denied by Mayor
Rose of Milwaukee.

Peoria, ILL.,, May 21.-Arguing along
the lines that prohibition does not
prohibit, Mayer David S. Rose of Mil
waukee met Dan R. Sheen before D.
600 persons at the Coliseum here last
night on the negative side of the
qustion: Resolved, that prohibition
as applied to the manufacture and
sale of intoxicating beverages is
right
The local advocate of cold water
opened the debate with an address of
one hour. He urged the protection OF
the homes, Of the schools, of the
churches and of the rising generation
against the evils of the liquor traffic.
Half of the criminals in the peniten-
tiaries, he said, were there through the
effects Of alcoholic stimulants. The
Almighty established prohibition firsl
in the Garden Of Eden, the speaker
maintained, when Adam was prohibit
ed from eating an apple. Since that
time prohibitory legislation had been
passed and has been more or less
effective.
Mayor Rose urged that the All.
mighty's mandate -egarding the an
pie did not prevent Adam from eating
1t, and urged that since that time the
laws against the use of Intoxicating
beverages had been no more success
full. The Milwaukeean quoted scri D.
ture tc support the theory that Noah
had been a drunkard after leaving the
ark; that the Saviour drank wine as
a beverage. and that down through
the succeeding ages wine had been
manufactured and had been drunk.
He referred at great length to the
failure # the army canteen bill, and
in this connection said:
you can never lagislate men into
morality and this whole question of
temperance and of prohibition Is a
moral question"
