Chamberlain's magazine for
February c ,ntained an article ad-
vising commission on the prohi
question, sends same in circular
letter to editors, and wants their
opinion Of it. Our opinion is that
in this case the American people
constitutes the commission, that
the commission has been in con.
tinuous session for many years,
aud that inside of a very few
years by its verdict John Barley
corn will stand up for the last
time facing the firing squad. Our
advise is to shoot first and to ap-
point the commission afterws rds.

BlaellistilQ Organizations

Down from Denver comes q re-
markatie story os an equivalent
to q high way hold-up by the
Denver Retailers association and
the Denver Board of Trade. The
equivalent is in bIacklisting such
newspapers as don't happen to
meet the fancy and approval of
these bodies of journalistic regu-
lators.
Tho information that comes
from Denver is that the Denver
Retail association permits no ad
vertising in any newspaper until
such paper has been properly
@. K.-ed by it's organization. We
understand the Denver retail as
sociation is asu bsiderary or hold
ing organization of the Denver
Chamber of Commerce, now 60
ing under the designation of the
Denver Civic and Commerce. as
sociation, and the policy of the
subsiderary is thus shown to be
the policy Of the principal.
Why this great organization is
thus seeking to control the news
papers OF Denver by system of
blacklisting, which the 20. K"
of the retail association means,
hasn't been brought out, but the
very fact of the blacklisting is a
sufficient evidence of it's sinister
purposes.
Just now the only republican
and democratic papers in Denver
are under the ban of the associ.
ation-the Denver Herald. repub
iican, ard the Sentinel and the
Democrat, democratic. These
are weekly papers. The Post,
News, Times, aud the Express,
all dailies. all independent mug
wumps, are basking in the sun
shine of the association, and
probably will do so until an in
advertant overt act" puts them
over the boundary line of fur.
ther for5earance.
In our opinion this matter
doesn't stop at the confines of
the city of Denver, and not even
at the confines of the state. Once
let the principle of tine press CEN
sorship by methods of blacklist
ing become established through
out the nation, and it's a fare
you.well to the cherished dreams
of a continuance of freedom and
progress in governmental affairs.
The state editorial association
at its next meet should take up
this infringement of the liberty
of the press and prepare to
strike back by any weapons at
its disposal.

RUSSELL VILE MEN ARE ACTIVE IN
 FOOD CAMPAIGN

By HARRY NJ. AYERS

Clark, president of the Chamber of Commerce, which has just been organized here.

 Dr. Clark, who was elected president of the civic body, was also the prime mover in the effort to have Russellvlle placed on the Jackson highway, and in this effort he was successful, with the result that excellent pike roads lead out of his town. He is a close student Of political economy and readily understood the tendency of economic conditions as result of the entrance of Uncle Sam in the world war.
