A novel method OF advertising the

"A novel metnOQ OF advertising the
products of the liquor business is
suggested by Golfers Weekly. 1t
quotes from the New Orleans Item as
follows: "A young man, living in
Shreveport, married only two weeks,
found playful note from his bride.
He misinterpreted it, thought the
meaning indicated that he had a
rival. He hurried home, shot his wife
to death and then killed himself. In
explanation, his friends tell the news
paper people that on the morning of
the tragedy he had been drinking
hard Such temperance sermons are
bitterly severe on those who preach
them by their own example-but
they are effective, if not upon indi-
viduals, upon the public conscience,
which turns more and more from the
attitude which condones the condi-
tions under which such episodes oc-
cur" Golfers asks the question,
"Why didn't the newspaper people in
quire further? Why didn't the Item
send out one of it's young reporters
to find out exactly what brand of
whisky caused this particular tragedy :?
To have printed photograph of the
owner of the brand-a citizen of
Louisville, KY, secure behind all
those ramparts of responsibility
which wealth can build-would be a
novel but perfectly possible and ex-
tremely useful departure in Journal
ISM"
While this method of advertising
might not gain the unqualified ap-
proval of the liquor men, it would give
them a publicity among readers who
have heretofore paid them no atten.

'0sSsOu 1\0IodSs
Ex-Governor Hoch, of Kansas, who
is travelling a good deal in the state
of Pennsylvania, has written to a
newspaper in his home town of
Marion, letter embodying some of
his observations, and in it he refers
to the liquor question. We quote a
paragraph published in the Kansas
Issue:
'.I get awfully tired of seeing every
where in Pennsylvania the signs, 'Sa-
loon,' Bar Beer and especially 'Ho-
tel and Bar These latter signs should
be reversed and made to read Bar and
HOTEL for they are generally about
two-thirds bar and one-third hotel. 1t
rasps me like file to smell beer in
all the hotels, to see the drinking
gang hanging around, and often to be
| compelled to loaf If at all in a combi-
nation of office and bar Have to go
into the bar, often, to pay my hotel
bill. Do you wonder that l glory more
and more in Kansas and in it's su-
perior civilization? l wish all the
honest opponents of prohibition in
Kansas could travel with me awhile
and behold the contrast. It would
certainly convert them. PENNSYLVANIA
people have no vote on the question
They can only demonstrate with the
judge, who has absolute discretion in
the matter of saloons and generally
exercises it in favor of the ones he
fears the most-the liquor people,"
