Almost every newspaper in the state
had the advertisement of the Local OPP.
ton League in its issue OF last week.
This is pure. straight and legitimate ad.
vertising, for which the League pays a
reasonable price. Some criticize this adj
vertising, but for the life of us we fail to
see wherein it is not just as reasonable
and just as fair for newspapers to accept
advertising of this class as that of any
other kind. The League is honest in its
endeavors and thatit has strong grounds
for it's argument that there is less liquor
sold in the state under the present law
than was sold under the old prohibitory
law no fair. minded person will dispute.
While prohibition may be the best thing
for the state, until we can have prohibi.
tion that will prohibit, let us have that
law which does to a larger extent than

sonable and fair in dealing with this inn
