Tho Rights" of Booze.

The liquor interests are frantically
digging up every possible opposition to
the bills before Congress providing for
shutting out Looze advertising from
newspapers end periodicals circulat-
ing In prohibition territory. They have
enlisted their adv ertising agencies, and
here are excerpts from the arguments
they arc putting out:
The Western Advertising Agents Assoc
cation and the Executive Committee Of
The Association OF New York Advertising
AGENTS both unanimously protested
against the passage of these measures on
the ground Of discrimination against the
publishing and advertising business AS
the resolution of the New York Associa-
tton states:
And that they contemplate pro-
uniting newspapers and periodicals
from performing their proper func-
lions Ia the merchandising of pro-
ducts that are recognized by the Fed
eral Government as legitimate arti-
lies OF commerce. and from which the
Government derives n large portion Of
It's revenue"
~ We view the matter. II is not a
question that involves Prohibition or any
allied question. IL is simply a matter of
discrimination against legitimate busi-
less Interest. and feel that until a
Federal law IN enacted for nationwide
Prohibition, newspapers and periodicals
nave an absolutely moral and legal right
20 exercise their freedom OF Judgment as
10 whether or not they shall accept and
nrint advertisements of this nature
These astute gentlemen Of the ad-
vertising science seem to forget that
their Legitimate business interest" is
m outlaw In prohibition territory and
that newspapers published in such
dry" sections are forbidden TO carry
the advertising OF the outlaw business.
In the State of Maine we recognize
the legal right tbut not the moraD of
newspapers beyond the borders Of this
state to I'LL their columns full of booze
" they wish 10 do so. but we recognize
mother the moral nor the Justly legal
right To- exercise their freedom OF
Judgment in violating our laws.
II out-of State papers prefer their
booze advertising to circulation in
Maine. then let them take tho adyer-
Using and stay out Of Maine. We have
SOME rights which the booze advertise
crs may have to respect.
