4 There are unfair cost systems
abroad in the world, according to
agitated persons, such as Senator
Capper, and the main complaint
seems to, be- that the manipulators of
them are well aware of what they
are doing. We have in mind an I'M
fair method of cost keeping that is
unconscious. If it were recognized
for the error 1t is there would be a
hasty end to it.
They had an expression in the
army to illustrate the way the med
icos had of administering their kind
and tender treatment for ills both
real and imagined The expression
was: Paint him with iodine and
mark him duty" You see when a
man once gets himself on the sick
list he has to report to the doctor
every morning at sick call until the
doctor marks his record duty"
which means he is well enough to dig
bitches and suffer X. p. Iodine was
the chief antidote known to army in
firmaries.
1t seems to us that many business
men have similar habit with regard
to advertising. Every little or big,
otherwise unaccountable operating
expense is to them most easily clas-
.sified as advertising"
The expression turned to business
uses would go about like this: "Put
1T in the expense column and mark
it advertising"
This phase of commercial public
ity we call advertising has really
won definite meaning. 1t signifies
the putting out of a message to the
public in any one of several forms.
To simply paste up your name on
the nearest board fence would not be
advertising. People would say:
who is he?" The name would
mean nothing to them, unless form
erly connected in their minds with
definite messages of commercial talk
from you. Yet many business men
who are not wildly known try to en-
ter the door to public goodwill by
publishing their names. titles, tele-
phone numbers and slogans. All
meaningless except to old friends.
Not only that-they will politely
give in to some committee soliciting
funds for float parade or a fire.
work display and mark the amount
Of their donations advertising" At
the end of the year it looks as tho
they had spent pile of money ad-
Perhaps only small part
of it was invested in real pulling
sales talk reaching the people in a
newspaper or circular, but all the
same they feel wronged because
their business has shown no unusual
profit. This is plainly unfair to
genuine business-getting publicity.

AMERICAN BISHOP

Bishop Cannon Writes
Long Letter in Favor
of Prohibition

LONDON. THE heaviest broad
side yet. delivered I'M England from
an American source In the interests
Of prohibitions appears I'm the form
of thTeeacolumn letter to the Lon
don Times by Bishop Cannon of the
Methodist Episcopal church at WASH
ington.
The communication is singing
reply to Professor Stephens Lecock
Of McGill university, who recently
wrote to the same paper:
AN appalling catastrophe has
oyertaken the United States and
eight provinces Of Canada in the
form of prohibition, resulting from
lcrusades financed by feeble1minded
philanthropy and inspired by brutal
and intolerant fanaticism.
'""Joy of prosecuting ones fellow-
men is the main inspiration of the
prohibition crusade. Typical active
worker is. either relentless fanat-
ic inspired by bigotry or self-in-
teTeSCeu HypOcrlLe.s
1.-THE hired spies of the prohibition
interests draw pay from hypocriti-
cal societies Of hysterical women.
There is no doubt that the vast ma
jority of decent people and all gen
tlemen were and are against the
movement. The people of the Unit
ed States and those of Canada never
ratified prohibition by a general
vote, nor have they even been offer
ed an opportunity to reject it. The
prohibitionists took care that the
policy was adopted by vote of the
politicians in congress, who spoke
only for vociferous fanatical mi
nority organized for hysterical threa-
tening."
Bishop Cannon, who is now in
London, read Professor Lecock
lesson in American constitutional
law and points out that prohibition
was an active issue in the congress
sional elections of 1916, the prohi-
bitionists winning in an open fight
by popular vote. He continues:
1.-THE opponents of prohibition
worked ceaselessly day and night
but lost every battle because the
politicians in congress knew that
the great majority of the people OF
the United States desired prohibi-
ton.
Furthermore, the gentleman
from Montreal either purposely lg-
nores or is ignorant of the fact that
in every state of the union where
it was possible the anti-saloon league
Iabored to secure popular vote on
prohibition, so that today through
he efforts of the prohibitionists and
against the strenuous efforts of the
il or t--ccffic, state after state has
voted dry by popular vote.
To-day there are thirty-four dry
ny state laws apart from federal
avs. 1t cannot be too strongly en-
,hasized that the prohibition move
nent has been Christian inspiration,
for its persistent vital
ty from the active support OF the
Protestant churches.
"Its inspiration has not been a
lesire to 'persecute ones fellow
men, but to help them by prohibit

Dog Ends Five-Year Vigil,
Dying on Masters Grave


Faithful unto death. This is
the tribute that can be paid to
Jack, a homeless yellow cur,
known as the graveyard dog,
found dead on his masters
grave near Hamburg, O., having
persisted in a recent blizzard.
For five years he had kept a
lonely vigil over the grave of
John Dindore, leaving it only
long enough to obtain food in
the neighborhoOd each day.
County ministers have preach
ed sermons on the love, devotion
and grief shown by this dog.
