NEW SECRETARY OF
ANTI-SAl00N LEAGUE
Kew. J. Il. Light, D. D., Secretary
of Publications


Rev. ]. d. McAlister. general
secretary of the Anti Saloon League.
has the following to say in The
Virginia Issue" OF DR.. J. H. Light,
the new secretary of publications:
The Anti-Saloon League of Vir-
GINA, although doing a splendid
work, has, since it's organization.
suffer ed greatly for the lack of an
effective official organ. The Civic
Sentinel at the first, and afterward
the American Issue" have. in a
fashion, answered the purpose,
but were never as satisfactory and
effective as was desired. A serious
handicap through the past years
has been that the field workers OF
the League were burdened so large
y with other necessary duties as to
leave them no time for the making
of the paper.
To meet the ever-growing convic-
ton that the League must have a
hrst-class paper of it's own, the Elk
ecutive Committee have most fortu-
nately oeen enabled to secure the SER
vices of Rev. ]. H. Light, D. D., of
the Baltimore Conference. NJ. E.
Church, South, who received from
Bishop Hoss on April third last, an
appointment as Secretary of Publ
cations for the Anti-Saloon League
of Virginia.
The new official organ of the
League, the Virginia Issue"
comes into existence with this, the
Initial number, with DIR. Light as
editor.
DR.. Light has had considerable
experience with paper work, and
will bring to the position OF editor
of the Virginia Issue" ability and
which will insure the
Leagues supporters a f.st-class
paper
In addition to his duties as edi-
tor, DR.. Light will build up a gene
raj line OF Anti-Saloon literature
suited to the conditions in Virginia.
and will also do Field Day work on
Sundays. He has already spent
three Sundays in the field and has
convincingly demonstrated that he
will make an attractive and forceful
Field Day speaker.
DR.. Light has gifts and graces
which will make him very accept
able 10 the temperance people of the
State; he is dignified but genial.
scholarly but practical, conserva-
tive but aggressive. He will do a
great work.
We bespeak for DR.. Light hearty
reception from the League constitu-
ency and prophesy that his connec-
ton with the League work will be
productive of great good to the
Anti-SalOOn Crusade in Virginia.

At last Harvard University has
thrown aside its old iron-clad en-

a willingness to cooperate with the

accepting as entrance requirements

This is marked step in advance for
Harvard, and triumph for the mod

Harvard does not eliminate entrance
examinations entirely. 1t still requires
examinations in Latin and English al
so in two other subjects to be elected
by the student, one of which must be a

The business man who now pro-
claims that advertising doesn't pay
is a back number.
His tribe has steadily decreased I'M
til there are but few specimens left.
The wide-awake, intelligent bust
ness man of today would as soon think
of getting along without clerk hire or
house rent, as to attempt to do bust
ness without advertising.
People now scan the advertising
pages Of a newspaper as closely as
they do its news columns They have
learned to look to the paper to supply
their wants-to find out where 10
trade. Old methods have passed away
and the merchant who once proudly
boosted that the public knew he was in
business and knew where to find him,
has gone with the cobwebs. The mod
ern business man Of today would laugh
at the child-like simplicity Of the man
who would assert that advertising
didn't pay
Since Postmaster General Hitch
cock has recommended an increase in
the amount OF postage paid by maya
zines, the latter have inaugurated a
publicity campaign, and are giving
their side of the question at once
through the advertising columns Of
daily and weekly newspapers and are
not waiting for their own monthly ed
ttions to be issued. They want to
reach the people and they want to do
it right now and for this reason they
are spending thousands of dollars N
buying advertising space in daily and
weekly papers. If the magazine pub
fishers, who know all about adyertiS-
ing, are so thoroughly convicted Of the
value of newspaper space, it is diff
cult to see how any one can doubt the
fact that results come from judicious
advertising
More than this, even churches are
learning the value of advertising. In
some of the larger churches of the
cities, arrangements are made with
newspapers for a certain amount Of
publicity.
The other day, in an address before
the Mccormick theological Society in
Chicago, Rev Charles Stelzel, of New
York, said:
The newspaper is by far the best
advertising medium for the church
Churches must go after new business
The people Of the city are not going &c
church, and so the church must go to
them The downtown churches are
losing their hold on the people. The
old members are dying or moving
away; new members could be secured
through judicious advertising. The
church must set aside an appropriation
for an advertisement campaign and
this fund must be used for no other
purpose"
Now, of course, it will be long time
until churches generally begin to ad-
vertise and pay for it, because theiI
advertising is given free by generous
newspapers, but the fact that the
world, in all lines of business, has
come to recognize advertising as a
necessity, is not to be questioned.
