SOME MORE ABOUT LIQUOR
ADVERTISING, AND PAPERS

Special attention Is called to these
two sentences from the introduction TO
the special bulletin issued by the Tenn
perance Society of the Methodist
Church. January 81:
While the percentage OF replies
Ito our inquiry IS notably large. the
list OF papers given below certainly
does not include all newspapers de-
lclining LIQUOR advertising. Some news
papers nationally known for their
clean columns and temperance advo-
cacy are not listed because reply
to our questions was not received
/ Some papers known to the Society
to exclude LIQUOR advertising and to
be earnest and powerful advocates OF
prohibition were not included because
lii was thought best to follow definite
policy of reporting only those who
made a formal statement to us, For
instance, the Philadelphia North Am
lerican Is, and has been for years,
probably the most powerful editorial
advocate OF prohibition in America:
| hut II was not icludedbecause OF
1.-THE failure Of the mails to reach them
with our questions The Chicago
Herald is another abstainer from whis-
ky and beer advertising, but 1t was
mot included because no report was
received The Minneapolis journal
tcalls our attention to the fact that they
thave barred liquor advertising since
l190s. The Salina, Kansas. Union,
which made report, unfortunately
not signed, bars liquor advertising.
So does the Times-Gazette, of Tsisca-
iloosa. Alabama: the Southwest Times.
OF Pulaski Virginia; the Banner. of
Cambridge. Maryland; the Gazette. OF
lSteubenville. Ohio; and the journal
of Middlet>wn. Ohio. All of thse re-
plies were received subsequen. TO our

ports contain wealth of Information
