MONROE, May 22.-At the invita-
tion of Rev. w. c. Burns. formerly q

Schermerhorn, publisher OF the De

But Christian homes keep on open

that transgress against all that these

tectors of the homes should insist
upon white list" Of newspapers
that are acceptable and safe Just as
the Consumers League advises con-
scientious traders where they can be
sure that humane conditions of manu-
featuring and retailing exist.
Mr.. Schermerhorn said that the ex-
clusion Of all liquor copy from news
paper did not mean necessarily that
the publication was for legal suppress
sion or was trying to regulate its
readers indulgences. II might mean
the newspaper did not care TO be on
the payroll OF the selling department
OF the brewery or distillery and to take
the threats or commands that subor-
dinates are often compelled to suffer
to hold their jobs.
Good advertising implies that the
copy shall create a demand for the
advertised product In the mind of the
reader. Whether one abominates the
drink evil or not, he certainly will
not contend that Il is a worthy mis-
