Hired Newspapers Are
Helping the Booze Crowds
Compaign of Confusion.

AS The Times has already emphasized
in this column, the voters Of Michigan
can make the state dry on Nov T. and m
the same election. by the use Of the same
ballot, without leaving the booth, they
can make il wet again.
Or worse than that: They can vote
the state dry and turn right around and
vote cities and villages that are now dry
back into the wet column, create more
saloons and make the booze situation IN
Michigan even worse than it Is today.
And that is the very thing they WILL
do if the whisky crowd should be sue
cessfu in the campaign Of confusion j
is now conducting with the assistance Of
dry newspapers that are not adverse TO
participation in its slush fund
x majority vote for prohibition viii

the whisky crowd terms il, viii make

a majority vote for home rule" in
spite of majority vote for prohibition.
would make it possible, and very, VERY
probable that dry Pontiac, for instance,
would become wet.
This home rule thing would make
the village or city the option unit, IN
stead of the county. As now. and little
colonization, such as the booze crowd Is
attempting right now in Detroit, would
turn the trick Easily.
Home rule" would reduce the unit
down to where it would be easier for the
whisky crowd to steal the elections.
1t is our opinion that the thief who
creeps through a window into a mans
bedroom and steals his pocketbook from
his trousers, or takes trousers and all.
is no worse than the man who boosts the
thief up the porch or who helps him car
ny ladder up to the window.
And it is our opinion that the news
paper publisher who is lending his col
umns to the purposes of the whisky
crowd with their "hone rule" propaganda
is no better than that crowd and no less
an enemy to his readers and the homes Of
those readers
That newspaper publisher is looking
for his share Of the spoils just the same
as the man who carries the ladder for the
thief is looking for his share Of the plum
der when the thief comes down with the
victims pocketbook.
If newspaper publisher damns the
whisky business in his editorial columns.
it is because he realizes that it is an IN
holy traffic sustained by the hard-earned
money Of men spent over the bar when
il is sorely needed at home for food and
clothing.
II is because he realizes that It is a
traffic that feeds upon IMPOVERISHED
homes and pauperism-that takes the
pennies needed for bread for babies
mouths and piles them into slush funds.
Slush funds for what, Mr.. Dry PUB
Usher?
Slush funds to buy space in your dr.
newspaper and nullify your dry EDITOR

:" LEON HOUSTON
The cause of the accident by which
Leon j. Houston lost his life on June
21st will probably never be known. Mr..
Houston was coming from the Gray
mill with-a small load of lumber on a
dump cart. In the hill near Mrs
Jennie Robinson's it is supposed the
horses became frightened and started
to run. Even then he no doubt would
have succeeded in stopping them had
not one of the reins broken, causing
him to lose control of them and the
wagon to swerve suddenly to one side,
throwing him to the ground, the
wheel striking his head, causing instant
death. The horses ran to L. N. Lund's
where they were stopped. DIR. F. L..
Lanphear, who had just left Gilbert
I buttons, fastened down the road to
ascertain if anyone was injured and
was first to find the dead body of the
young man. He at once summoned aid
and the body was taken to the home of
his sister, Mrs. Archie Drown. The
funeral took place from there Satur-
day. June "a. at 2 p. No., the Rev. Hick-
land speaking words of comfort to the
bereavad ones. A quartet consisting
of Mr.. and Mrs. Vern Miles and Mrs.
Alison Marshall rendered appropriate
music. The bearers were his three
brothers, Lennie, Claude and Walter,
two brothers-in-law, Archie Drown
and Fred Shannon, and a cousin, Ches.
ter Gray. The house was filled to over
flowing with relatives and friends.
Burial here. Mr.. Houston was 81
years old and unmarried, had always
stayed at home, caring for bis parents,
who are in poor health. He was an
obedient son. kind and loving broth
er, good neighbor and citizen and his
death has cast gloom over our little
village. The sympathy of the com.

and not only does all her troubles come
back on her, but she thinks she is also
developing peculiar pain in her side"
Maybe the advertisement give it to
her," Birsky suggested.
"Sure it did," Zapp replied. "This
here rst-to-last-the-truth advertise
Ing is driving women to moving pic
lures, Birsky. Another thing is the
way drygoods stores is acting nova
days. Former times a woman buys a
dress at drygoods store on April md
and wears it up toland including July
18TH, when she brings it back with
symptoms of a beefsteak supper, two
weddings and a chocolate nut sundae
on the front panel, Birsky, and for the
next six months she has the time of
her life trying to get credit check
for 1t. 1t gives her a fresh interest in
things. Her eyes get bright and her
cheeks is got fresh color in them the
same like an advertisement for q COM
plexlon cream before the enactment OF
Section 31416, Subsection A, Of the
Penal Code in relations to False and
Misleading Advertising. What is 1t
nowadays, Birsky? A crepe de chine
dress could have enough soup spilled
on 1t to make it look like MORE We
lour, Birsly, and when woman re-
turns it with the pleasant expecta-
lions of never being so insulted in her
life, Birsky, before she could even
open her mouth to say Listenr yum
derstand, the floor walker pulls q
credit check on her."
"And I suppose" Birsky commented,
"for the next few days she walks
around looking so downhearted that
whenever her lady-friends see her they
60 home and practically throw the
meals at their husbands and gives as
an explanation that they'd like to see
themselves worrying themselves to
death over any man."
swell, I'll tell you," Zapp said, may
be the drygoods stores is getting done
on their money back guarantees,
Birsky, but that's because they are suf-
fering from the fact that people amt
acquainted with up-to-date advertising
idees. Their customers still thinks
that when drygoods store says:
If anything you buy here proves un-
satisfactory 1t will be exchanged or
your money will be refunded
Birsky, it must be understood that
such q guarantee means:

stead of mustache,"- Zapp replied,
because he would of been set back at
least $3.50 for shoes instead Of twenty
cents for talcum powder"
"a Teller who thinks he could get
bald headed by wearing any particular
brand of shoes should ought to get
stuck for $780," Birsky said, never
mind he couldn't read English"
"Well, that only goes to show how
careful newspaper should be IL 1t
doesn't want its readers to be swim
died." Zapp said. "Some people which
is too foxy to believe anything they
read in the news section of newspa-
per gets fooled very easy by advertise
ments. They could read 1t in the paper
how seals has become so scarce that IL
all the seals in existence was divided
up among the Inhabitants of the State
of Kansas there would be only .000C2
seals to an inhabitant. Also they could
see in Sunday paper how the Secre-
tary of Commerce and Labor gives out
an interview that the United States is
keeping q line of battleships in Alaska
to prevent poachers from killing seals,
Birsky, but that owing to the high
price of sealskins in New York, the
poachers takes chance on getting
shot, starved, frozen and drowned and
sometimes catches as many as twenty
eight and half seals in u season,
understand, and yet, Birsky, when a
concern by the name Of the Paris and
San Francisco Fur Importing Company
advertises fur Overcoats with Bafiin
Bay Seal lining and genwine Prussian
Lamb collars ut from $3.50 to $21.50
apiece, them newspaper readers figure
what does a Secretary Of Commerce
and Labor know about seals anyway"
Maybe they figure that way, and
maybe they figure that the Teller which
Is running the Paris and San Francisco
Fur Importing Company is just some
poor goose that has got ahold of q line
Of seal overcoats and don't know their
real value, Zapp. and never mind II
the Teller WOULD have wife and
family depending on him, Zapp, that's
! HIS lookout. II he is fool enough to
let them seal-lined overc0ats go at
from $3.50 to $21.50, he shouldnt be
In the fur business IL he don't know no
more about furs than that; so they
buy an overcoat of Of him, Zapp, just
to teach him lesson as 1t WERE"
Sometimes they also figure that the
reason why the Paris and San Fran
cisco Fur Importing Company could
sell genwine sealskins ut $3.50 is that
the overcoats was stolen, Birsky,"
zapp said. $50 they 60 to work and buy
'em on the principle Of what the eye
don't see It, what is It the hearts busi-
nessf
''Then what is the use Of newspapers
protecting them crooks by not printing

II don't know, Birsky," zapp said.

is confirmed in an action brought for
that purpose, Il being understood and
agreed that nothing In this guaran-
tee shall apply to or bind the party
making the same, his heirs, executors,
administrators and assigns.
Before newspaper accepts an adver-
tisement nowadays, 1t is censured the
same as an interview with General Jof-
fer, and If an advertisement comes in
from shoe manufacturer with his
picture on 1t, they send Il reporter to
make sure that the Teller is bald like
his photograph claims he is, and If he
isn't they wouldn't print the advertise
ment till the manufacturer comes down
and signs his name in the presence Of
the managing editor, the art editor,
two prominent clergymen and a hand
writing expert.
''Aber what couldn't understand is :
Why should q manufacturer suppose it
helps the sale of his shoes to advertise
'em NIT picture of bald-headed
man, even supposing he does look that
way" Zapp said.
''For that matter, Zapp, my wife's
brother Sig as a young Teller used to
rub talcum powder on his upper lip,
because he thought it would make
grow for him a mustache like the fell
Ter on the box" Birsky said.
'Was there any such claim on the
box besides the picture?" Zapp asked.
NO" Birsky said, but Sig had just
come over from the old country and
couldn't read English"
"Well, all 1 could say is he is lucky

"And quite right too" Birsky said.
its always joke TO stick bargain

to stick somebody himself a bargain
hunter wouldn't be n bargain hunter.

you'd think they was discussing labor

that the lining is genwine seal, the gar

"And who would so to work and pay
money to put in paper an advertise
ment like that?" 'Birsky inquired.
Everybody nowadays" Zapp said.
"They dassen't do otherwise, because
what with the Federal and State pure

ing fellers fifty thousand dollars year
