tinued:

From time 10 time have made mention
Of leading daily papers in large cities North
and South which have adopted the policy
OF eliminating all liquor advertisements
from their columns Now comes the word
that the Baltimore Sun has decided to turn
down the "fire water advertisements. At
the same time one of the leading Pittsburg
daahes has adopted the same policy. The
editor of the last named paper SAYS that
they will neither seek nor accept Hquor ad-
vertiselnenss. that the papers. business
policy may harmonic with tits EDITORIAL ut
tersance." As a matter OF fact, these two
features harmonic In every daily paper Of
which we have any knowledge. We have
in Richmond a daily paper which, in its
editorial column and advertisement space.
seeks to destroy the saloon. We have some
other daily papers in the State which pur-
sue the same policy, But SO far we know
the daily papers which advertise liquor lend
their editorial columns to the continuance
of the open saloon. OF course in this they
are consistent. AS the Pittsburg editor
says the business policy" and the editorial
utterances'' must ''harmonize." We hope
their aid from the sale Of liquor in dry" as
we'll as wet" territory. through their adj
vertising columns, in time to help win the
fight which is going to be won in the Old
