luck not to be on a route where the small
towns pay their bills with the proceeds

Work of the Y M @. A

The Young Mems Christian associa-
ton is being credited with doing
great service by the watohcare 1t keeps
over boys and young men. 1t often
follows a youth across the continent in
order to surround him with proper as
sociations. Recently young man
went from his home In a small Me-
braska town to work In a large office
in Chicago. One day he was surprised
when a stranger approached him at
his work, called him by name, told
him where he was from and invited
him out to lunch. 1t was a Young
Mems Christian association represen-
tative come to accompany him in a
strange city. The home association
had notified the Omaha association
and the Omaha had notified the Chi
cago association of the young mans
movements, and in Chicago a worker
was assigned to look after him.
AS one OF thousands of cases this
illustrates a system that is working
with excellent results, and the best
part of 1t is that it is not confined to
young men of this country, but ex-
tended to the youth coming here from
abroad. Many Of our newcomers are
greeted at eastern ports of entry by
these Young Mems Christian associa-
ton workers and given assistance.
which not only helps them for the time
being to overcome the pail Of home
sickness and get started in a strange
land, but aids them permanently and
tends to make them better American
citizens They see a great organiza-
ton in the new country interested in
their welfare; interested in Il enough
to look out for them and appealing to
the best there is in them. AT the out
set 1t gives them high idea OF Amer
leans and Americanism and inspires
them with the belief that they have q
mark TO strive for and a determination

Like William y. Allison of Iowa, John
W. Daniel died with more than q full six
years term of service In the senate ahead

year OF an expiring term and had been

Talks for people who sell things

There are merchants who do not
think very much of Rdvertising-do
not believe In its power to attract and
hold custom. Yet they want big show
windows in their stores and pay big
salaries to men to dress those windows
and make them attractive.
Ask them why they do this and they
answer: why, to attract the atten-
ton of the people who pass here every
day-to advertise my store"
How many of the 10000 people
in Omaha pass a given point during
the day?
And OF those who do pass, how many
of them stop to look at the window
display?
People in the street are there for q
purpose, usually; they are going some
where-to a store, probably. whose
advertising in the newspapers has at
tracted them.
And II all the people in Omaha
should pass your store, and every one
of them stop and look-would that In
duce them to come In your store and
buy?
No. sir, It would not. People want
TO know something about your goods
before they spend their money with
you--want to know more than can be
learned by gazing through plate glass
window--and the only way you can
tell them is through the advertising
columns OF their home newspaper.
We are not saying a word against
attractive show windows, mind you:

A Nearby Analysis of the Prohibition
Uplift.
Baltimore Sun


Baltimore Sun.
When the great wave OF prohibition rolled
over the south there we're cries from the
vets that 1t was undermining and washing
out the foundations of civilization. Dark
pictures were drawn of tottering common
wealths-of Georgia given over to the wolf
and the bobcat, of Mississippi reduced TO
the bleak vaculty Of Mesopotamia. II was
announced that millions, perhaps even bill
lions OF citizens would move away, that
mills and foundries by the hundred thou
sand would close, that all commerce and
industry would cease, that the whole terri
tory south OF the Potomac would have no
inhabitants in a few years. save barbarous,
plundering hordes of fanatical spinsters
and Sunday school superintendents. There
was, in brief. a great deal of bitter weep
ing and q great deal Of viewing with
alarm.
The event has given the lie to all OF
these pessimistic representations. The
south still lives and the people are still
happy. Their consumption OF groceries ia
Just as large as 1t ever was; they are eat
ing just as many hams, jowls, beefsteaks
and legs of mutton and just as much
sugar coffee and saleratus; they are wear
ing Just as many yellow shoes, Pink shirts,
diamond stickpins, fancy vests, plug hats
and suits of store clothes; and-most sig
nificant of all-they are drinking just as
many pints, quarts, gallons, barrels, hogs
heads and tons of spirituous fermented
beverages. The brewers and dstillers of
the north notice little decline in their trade
The internal revenue receipts Of the gov
rnnient from malt liquor have fallen less
than 4 per cent.
And, meanwhile, the moonshners OF the
sub-Potomac mountains are multiplying
enormously and waxing fat. Saving only
political treachery, moonshining now seems
to be the principal occupation OF the Geor-
CLANS. The industry is already producing
it's Morgans and Rockefellers, and they
tour the country in their automobiles,
smoking So-cent cigars, Commissioner
Cabell Of the Internal Revenue bureau re-
ports that his force OF deputies is entirely
unable to cope with them. They have shot
five deputies In sixty days and enjoyed
MANY hearty chuckles at the expense OF
the rest. The president, of course, has
authority to send the army against them,
but the army's present strength is but
7s 7s2 men, What is needed is force OF
q 600 900 Rough Riders. with artillery and
balloons, No doubt Mr., Cabell will ask
the next congress to appropriate S26O'ooo0OO
to pay for 1t.
