An important conference was held
all day Saturday in the state house by
the force of examiners Of county &C
counts with State Auditor Shaw and
Chief Joe Wall. These examiners ex-
pect to hold conferences at least twice
each year to compare notes, to ex-
change views, and to bring their work
into perfect harmony They now have
practically gone over the entire state
once. Each and every county has been
reported on once. When the next force
of examiners go into the county it will
have befSre it the first report for COM
parison. 1t is plain, so the examiners
say, that they will be able to do a
much better job the second time and
PROBABLY be able to complete the work
in much shorter time.

The Counties Are Going Dry,
When Will Columns Go Dry?

Wnen Will OOiumnS TO DTy.
Fourteen counties in Michigan voted
dry last Monday, making the total num-
Der of dry counties in the state ~.
After April 80 it will be against the
law IN these counties to sell intoxicating
liquors or to offer them for sale.
BUT THE SELLING WILL GO ON

THAT THE AUTHORITIES WILL BE

III.
The brewers and the distillers have a
way to keep on selling, even after The
greater number of voters have declared
against the traffic and after their votes
have made IL against the law to sell
liquor or offer liquor for sale.
They have AGENTS who have served

Be found in the very homes of many
who voted dry.
Unless they are informed that they

continued business in these dry districts
for the beer makers and whisky makers.
These agents are newspapers that ac-
cept and circulate beer and whisky ad-
vertisements.
What Is the purpose Of advertising!
The purpose of advertising is to create
demand and to sell, and to increase
any business.
The purpose of liquor advertising is to
ask you to have drink, and if you don't
drink 10 start to drink. The pull in
liquor advertising is on the cork
We wonder how man who does not
drink beer or whisky would feel toward
smother man who would keep repeating
an invitation to him to have drink of
beer or whisky, and who would follow
him up to his very door, past the thresh-
old and to his Preside?
How ought man to feel against his
newspaper when he has voted beer and
whisky out of his sight in his own coun-
~ty. and that newspaper persists in its
daily visits in carrying advertising rec
ommending beer and whisky to himself,
his boy or girl, or both, and Offering
three bottles free for starter?
How long will it be, we wonder, before
the dry people of Michigan will realize
that the SALE of liquor and OFFERING

of Detroit that had not been obeying the

That is what the voters in these Ii
counties did for the people and the
homes of Detroit.
NOW, by refusing to take into their
