dry and wet counties from hour to hour.
There are so many liquorless sections
now it is some job to determine when
TO close up and d-when to open up accord
ing to law.
The third reason does the corporations
more credit than the considerations of
profit and convenience. They are at last
struck with the Inconsistency of requir-
ing some Of their employees TO sell stuff
that they forbid other of their employees
to touch under penalty of dismissal
This was the point urged 10y The
Times when it fought the opening Of
bar in the beautiful New York Central
station in this city.
If it jeopardizes the lives of their pa
irons for trainmen TO drink, what moral
right has the transportation company
to thrust temptation constantly before
their men while robbing the employees
of other corporations of their wits and
their efficiency?
The economic argument against liquor
selling is gripping all industry SO pow
erfulIy, the wet newspaper will soon be
the most glaring exception.
1t continues to engage in the booze
business because, as the traffic is out
lawed in states and counties. it means
d golden stream of revenue into its cof-
ferS, for the brewer and diStiller must
rely upon newspaper advertising to Stim-
ulate the demand for their bottled goods.
Printers ink makes millions drink.
Liquor advertising pullS-the corkS.
1t Is no concern to the publisher, fat
tening off full page beer ads, whether
he is selling and distributing intoXicantS
in dry counties He is an arch anarchist,
trampling the peoples collective will
under foot-not through misguided
fanaticiSm but from sordid eagerneSs TO
get the money there is in IT,
Neither does he trouble himself about
incongruity of enforcing strict Sobriety
upon the part of advertising solicitors
and prnters-the beSotted salesman or
typo is no longer tolerated in any we'll
conducted newspaper ofice-while re-
quiring them to solicit and put in type
the copy that invites them 20 get the
habit that will speedily unfit them for
their jobs.
The wet newspaper is the last ally of
the doomed traffic for the dry forces to
make war upon. This part of the press
is no longer creating public opinion. 1t
is saturating it for price.

A SUCCESS.
eY Or. FRANK CRANE
Copyright. 1915. by Frank Crane)

I
! met him at the sanitarium. Some
how We got acquainted and flowed to-
gether in spirit by grace of congeniality.
He was a fine-looking man, typical
American, with a clear, quick eye, head
like an ancient Roman, a sensitive mouth
flashing an occasional humorous express
sion from under beetling, close-cropped
mustache, and altogether a general air
OF force, self-reliance, and success.
You could see he was a success Just
10 glance at him. He looked dominance.
lie radiated assurance. resourcefulness,
unacquaintance with defeat.
Yet they wouldn't let him walk. He
was pushed about in wheeled chair by
an attendant. His skin had a pasty ap-
pearance. He slept good deal
We got TO talking one sunny afternoon
out on the verandah and he told me of
his career. 1t was distinctly American.
1t was the quite common account of
a poor and friendless boy fighting his
way to the top.
He had enjoyed little schooling. Most
Of his young life was spent about a west
ern coal mine. in hard, stunting labor.
Kicks and cuffs were his treatment those
days. Yet always within him burned an
inextinguishable ambition.
He studied in his spare hours. He ap-
piled himself. BY and by he won favor
with his bosses and was promoted. Once
started on the way up his advance was
rapid.
He became foreman, manager owner.
He was a hard fighter. He fought them
all. his rivals. the business assassins.
sharpers, and capitalistic potentates.
And he won.
! II meant years Of grilling work, inces-
SAINT watchfuness unhagging activity.
But day after day, night after night, he
was on the job. He forced victory. He
lodged disaster. He held on like bull
dog.
For he had determined to be million
aire.
He succeeded Now he was fifty-five,
Last year he reckoned up his worldly
goods as Of value two million and half.
Meanwhile his three children had died.
He had gone to live in New York where
he had no acquaintances except his
bankers.
His wife was with him at the sani-
tarium a prematurely old, tired-lookng
woman with a sweet glance and pa
thetic air Of mothering toward him.
Eyes. sir he said. 81 beat 'em.
