The Detroit Daily Times has an
nounced its intention not to hereafter
permit beer and whisky advertisements
in its columns. In making that deter
mination known the Detroit paper ed
ltorially says: ITO many, the young
especially, beer drinking is the begin
ming of evil 1t seems to lead directly
to that excess which jeopardizes health,
position, happiness. Morally, industri-
ally, economically, the age is against
the intemperance of which beer drink
ing is often the first stage, Many homes
into which this paper goes alike as the
chronicle Of the days history and the
professed instrument of helpfulness,
believe strongly that beer is inimical to
the best interests of the family. Many
have voted to Danish the sale of it from
their communities. The Times believes
it has no moral right to antagonize the
conscientious convictions of these homes
and communities through what it prints
in it's advertising columns. We do not
care to be talking beer every day to
people who do not want their children
to be invited to drink it by their home
papers; nor to those who ought not to
drink it." The facts here stated are
such as will necessarily apply to every
self-respecting newspaper in Michigan
and the position taken by that paper on
the liquor advertising question is one
that will strongly commend itself to
every home. favoripg Michigan paper.
