Editor OF The News-Times:
The News-Times announces that the
Flying Squadron of America Will visit
South Bend in its crusade for nation
wide prohibition Jan. 1914. on the
third day, your news item says, ].
Frank Hanly. former governor of In
diana, and DR.. Ira Landrith of Nash
vile, Tenn, will be among the speak
ers. Mr.. Hanly is said to be the or
iginatOT of the flying squadron move
ment and it is the intention of those
engaged in it TO visit 235 cities in the
country. So far Mr.. Hanly has appear
ed in few of the Indiana cities, not
even speaking in his home town, In
dianapolis.
The people of Indiana know Mr..
Hanly very well, and they are par
ticularly well acquainted with his
views on how to make men temper
ate by force of law. 1t will be re-
membered that NJ. Hanly tried his
plan in Indiana in 1903, by forcing
through the legislature a statute pro-
Viding for county prohibition. At the
next general election Mr. Hanly and
his law were repudiated by the people
Of Indiana, and subsequently the
county option law was repealed and
model license law enacted in its
place 1t is not likely that the legis-
lature will repeal this law, indeed it
is forecasted by the members of the
general assembly, which will convene
in January, that prohibition will have
no place in the legislative program.
Mr. Hanly may talk until he is
black in the face and he will still be
unable to convince the people of In
diana that prohibition is the solution
of the liquor problem. Perhaps DR..
Landrith of Nashville, Tenn, may be
able to convince some Of his hearers
that the form of prohibition which
they have in Tennessee is the proper
thing for Indiana. In Tennessee they
have a so-called prOhibitOry law, but
the sale of liquor has gone on, in de-
fiance of law in Nashville, the capital
Of the state. and in Memphis, the
metropolis of the state. Unlawful
dealers have supplanted licensed deal
ers, as they would in Indiana should
Mr.. Hanly and DR. Landrith be sue
cessful in bringing about nationwide
or statewide prohibition. 1t is very
doubtful if Mr.. Hanly and DR.. Land
rith, Notwithstanding their admitted
eloquence, can make many converts,
except among hysterical and unthinE
ing people. and it is not too much to
assume that there are very few such
in South Bend.
Regulation is the solution of the
liquor problem.
Very respectfully,

OUR TILT WITH BRITAIN.

Happily the major portion of the
British press appears possessed of a
larger sense of the proprieties than is
expressed by the London Globe with
regard TO the American protest
against the restraint that Britain has
at times, since the war, been impos-
ing upon our commerce Taking the
Globe as a criterion Of British senti-
ment. the natural resentment that has
come down TO the present generation
from revolutionary times. OF English
fool hardness, might become rather
difficult to swallow. The United
States is not trying to run England's
affairs with regard TO the European
war II is merely insisting that Eng
land shall not run the affairs of the
United States
Our neutrality should ordinarily en-
title us to some respect from the bel
ligerent powers in Europe. as well as
emitting them to our respect. OF
course, it is up to us, in the course
of our commerce. to maintain a neu-
trality. and, We must expect a certain
amount of watching, but when the
watching comes to assuming the role
of apparent Intentional embarra S.
ment, that is different matter.
American goods bound for neutral
ports are not under international law.
subject to seizure. merely lin search
OF evidence" and such a seizure. if
contraband consigned to belligerent
power is not found. renders the
Selling nation as liable for damages
as though there were no war.
our differences with Britain do not
necessarily imply that we must inter
vene in behalf of Germany if our
protests are not needed. 1t does
serve, however. as a notice that the
country that unduly interferes with
our commerce will be held respon-
sible. and that there will be a day of
reckoning. Such differences have been
settled before without war and they
can be so settled again. 1t is not
necessary that we should rush to arms.
as some jingOists in congress would
nave Us uO. W 80 klOW war IS the
fashionable thing TO indulge in in

as nearly as possible as if there were
no war. AS a neutral power we are
entitled TO a very similar considera-
ton from the powers that are fight

The London Globe appears to think
American commerce should be sus-
pended while Europe is fighting. We
express Impotence" it says, with
the fact that the greatest war in the
worlds history has interfered with the
opportunities OF our traders to make
money" and why shouldn't we? 1t is
not our war. Poor England, How
very concerned she is just now over
"Euope's blood and tears" Had she
been less graspy in her yearning for
commercial supremacy there would
probably be fewer drops of blood and
tears" now TO concern her.

WASHINGTON, Dee. y. - Sen.
Newlands of Nevada has funny little
habit. He will sit in his place in the
senate chamber. with his head
cooked wisely to one side, blinking
thoughtfully as he looks off into
space and emitting never a sound
save an occasional low murmur from
one of his plaid vests. Discussions
over given proposition will rage
about him, strong men pound tables,
others rummage eXcitedly through
large books. and still others pace
about nervously. All the while New
lands sits there saying nothing and
doing nothing except TO maintain his
expression of extreme wisdom and
occasionally glancing at a little spot
on his thumb nail
Then when the matter at issue has
been thoroughly threshed out and
everybody Is yawning and weary and
tracksore as they prepare to take
vote Newlands, just as likely as not,

1t seems that when Victor was some
years younger than he is now, he was
on the train returning from a news
paper assignment and saw man
who was pointed out TO him as Coils
p. Huntington. Victor had never met
many celebrities up to that time, and
so went over TO Huntington. intro

There's one thing" said Victor,
that l wish you would tell me. You
doubtless know, and I'm young and
full of enthusiasm and desire to
learn. How can l make a million
dollars?'
Easily enough" replied Hunting
ton. and l am only too glad TO tell
you. In the first place you must have
something to sell, and in the second
place it must be something staple.
Avoid novelties that will sell nicely
this year, but for which there will
he no demand next year. Sell some
thing that everybody uses. Having
determined what YOU are going to
sell, learn all about il. Find out
where is the best place to get it, now
TO handle it, and know more about
it than anybody else does. Then
when you place your article in the
market fix il up more attractiVely
than anybody else does. And when
YOU have attracted customers, by
virtue of the fact that you have
something they want, and that yours
looks better than any sold elsewhere,
there is just one more thing TO do;
Soak them a big price for ii.
That was Coils p. HunungtOn's
recipe for making a million dollars.
And" says Victor Murdoch. IF
