WEBB BILL PASSES SENATE.
Liquor Shipments Bill Passed by House
Substituted for Senate Bill.

substituted Tor Senate BILL.
Washington. - The senate Monday
pasesd the Webb liquor bill, already
passed by the house, as > substitute for
the Kenyon-Sheppard bill.
The Webb bill would prohibit ship
ments of Intoxicating liquors from one
state to another when intended to be re-
ceiyed or sold in violation of the law
of the state to which the shipment is
made.
Friends Of the legislation now win
seek to have the house concur in the
senate bill, which differs from the bill
passed by the house only in slight meas
ure. Should that be done, the bills will
not be considered in conference, but the
measure passed by the senate will go
to the president for his signature.
The substitution of the Webb bill for
the Kenyon-Sheppard bill came at the
close of prolonged debate and was by
viva voce vote, no roll call being de-
manded.
Senator Sheppard during the day had
failed to get unanimous consent for the
substitution of the Webb bill for the
measure of which he was a joint author.
Senator Kenyon, co-author of the SEN
ate bill, closed the debate by asking that
the Webb bill be substituted as the or
der of the day and did not permit the
voting on the Webb bill as an independ-
ent measure.
The voting was first upon the perfec-
ton of the Kenyon-Sheppard bill. BY 3
vote of 81 to %, the senate agreed to
the committee amendment, adding sec
ton to the bill which provided in terms
that intoxicating liquors should become
subject to state laws upon crossing state
boundaries.

The place OF advertising in mod
ern business is secure. 1t occupies
the most important position notwith-
standing its true functions are SO
largely misunderstood. The merchant
princes. the monarchs of manufacture
ing, and the generals of distribution
have found advertising absolutely es-
sential to the upbuilding and conduct
of their enterprises.
Advertising thus gives G manufac-
turer the power to produce trade for
the thing he is best equipped to pro-
duce. 1t eliminates competition. 1t
creates. forces, builds. 1t makes
things happen. Advertising is so
many-sided in it's character that 1t
deserves attention in connection with
every department of business or
ganization. AS already stated, it will
produce desire; gratified desire pro-
duces habit, and habit produces bust
ness. But advertising does more than
thin. 1t makes sales. Not in the
same sense as the salesman, for the
brainy salesman is only given larger
fields for usefulness and greater
emoluments for his efforts when he
co-opera tes with advertising.
The one thing that should convince
the average business man who has
not given much time and thought to
advertising is that it has commercial
value of the highest order; that it
really is a higher evolution of COM
merce and a marked improvement on
average commercial conditions, as is
evidenced by the growing spirit on
the part of owners of advertising
space to restrict the use of the same
to customers whose business is desir-
able, and also to censor the text mat
ter and, in some instances, even to
tone down the too free use of heavy
faced type and vary display.
Napoleon would have made a grand
man. When sought for
to quell q riot raging in the streets
of Paris, he was found In his attic,
alone and diligently studying the
streets of the great city. When con-
fronted with the success of his later
campaigns and realizing the import
ance of having he masses with him,
he carefully calculated the effect of
waiting before announcing his victo-
ries until he was able to date his dis
patch with the name OF the palace of
his defeated adversary. This intelli-
gent combination of accurate knowl-
edge of the real fundamental and sub
lie forces with the power to attract
and hold the ephemeral popular mind
Is the wide range of ability that the
Advertising man who succeeds today
must possess.

DEMOCRATS DIsoRGANIzED MOB
Republicans Lecture Majority on It's Elk
travagance.


Washington.-A general attack on
Democratic extravaganza" and a heated
debate over activities of the house money
trust committee was precipitated in the
house by resolution appropriating $685.
600 to defray further expenses of the
money trust investigation. The resolu-
ton, which made the total expenditures
for the investigation 100000, was passed
after a lengthy argument by a vote of
129 to ia, many Democrats voting with
the Republicans against it.
Minority Leader Mann upbraided the
Democrats vigorously, asserting that the
control in legislation was in the hands
of disorganiEed mob" and that appro-
priations for the session were reaching a
record high point. Representative Fitz-
gerald, chairman Of the appropriations
committee, agreed with Mr.. Mann and
declared that the appropriations this
year would far exceed those Of any SEES
sion in the history of congress, so much
SO that any talk of revising the tariff
downward will be hollow mockery"

ATTEND THE PARTY JUNE 20
Our People Will Take Steps To ceIe-
brate States Birthday.

This newspaper is heartily in SYM
pathy with the desire of the West Vir-
ginia Semi-Centennial Commission to
have general observance of the 5Oth
anniversary of the states admission to
the union. The date is June 20, and
our people should not too long delay
preparations here for participation in
patriotic program of exercises.
Already many places have notified
the publicity department in Charleston
that they will celebrate. Our citizens
must not be backward about coming
forward. Let our part in the states
program be as heavily charged with
enthusiasm as that of any Of our neigh
bors.
1t is to be hoped that everybody
men and women, girls and boys-will
respond to the call and attend the
meeting when called, due notice Of
which will be given in these columns.

.SEM!-CENTENNIAL COMMISSION
Busy Men Who Have Generously Given
Their Time for the States
Welfare.

The members of the West Virginia
Semi-Centennial Commission are men
who have many duties demanding
their time and attention, but notwith-
standing this, they have faithfully at
tended the meetings of the Commits
work in hand. There is no remunera-
ton attached to the duties of the Com
mission, the appointment being purely
honorary.
AS the original meeting dates back
to 1909, it is readily observed that
these gentlemen have been loyal to
the trust reposed in them and are en-
titled to a hearty vote of thanks from
all West Virginians.
Tall oaks from little acorns grow"
is a familiar adage, and from the date
o. the meeting In Parkersburg, Deem
Der 3, 1909, the original idea of a cele-
bration of the states semi-centennial
has grown much like the acorn, until
now it looks as if there will be very
few places in West Virginia that will
not be active in observing June 20
the date on which the state was admit
ted to the Union.
Great strides have been made by
West Virginia in the past fifty years.
In 1860 we boasted a population of 376,
6S8; now it is in excess of 1,25O,000 ;
our total assessed wealth as late as
1870 was $14O.338,27S; now it IL away
beyond the billion mark.
West Virginia has twenty-nine state
! institutions and thirteen private and
denominational colleges and sem.
inaFies. West Virginia's buildings and
school equipment are worth nearly
$14.000,000 In 1912 our people had
$142,000,000 on deposit. The state is
well equipped with steam railroads
and electric lines.
1t would take a volume to enumerate
all of the reasons why we should be
! glad to take advantage of the oppor
tunity afforded by our fiftieth birthday
to heartily join in a patriotic celebra
ton
Our people will undoubtedly respond
to the call and prepare for fitting
observance in our home town of the
states Golden Jubilee, June 20.

reorganization of the West VIr

kersburg State Journal very truth.
fully says:
"The newspaper men of this state
have never asked for anything as
charity. The publication laws they
hsye advocated and secured, were
blows at grating, land grabbing
and 30 on. The delinquent land
sale, the trustees sale adverti.e-
ments for instance, stopped the Ian
sharks from gobbllng mp real estate
to the detriment of the owners
whose property was to be taken
away from them. The old editorial
association never asked for the en-,
actment of any law that was not
proper and just and of benefit TO
the public and to people who owned
property, before 1t was so to the
newspaper publisher.
