Commends Itself to the Home.
The Detroit Daily Times has an
nounced its intention not to hereafter
permit beer and whisky advertise
ments In it's columns. In making that
determination known the Detroit pa
ger editorially says: ITO many, the
young especially. beer drinking is the
beginning of evil. 1t seems to lead
directly to that excess which jeop-
ardizes health, position. happiness.
Morally, industrially, economically,
the age is against the intemperance
of which beer drinking 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 toAthe
best interests of the family. Many
have voted to Danish the sale of il
from their communities. The Times
believes il has no moral right to an
tagonize the conscientious convictions
OF these homes and communities
through what it prints in Its adver-
Using 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 pa
per; 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-favoring Michigan pa.
