put II SITeHSlu6nS anu hcCpS bOhCu LII the morale of your statesmen in all parts of the country. The modern salesman counts upon advertising support. Buy CTS, too, like to pick up newspapers and magazines and find the virtues of their car extolled.
 ITO my mind, advertising is not to be classed as an expense but, when properly handled, very profitable in vestment."
 MT. Durant's new general sales man ager is concentrating upon the Durant car and the Star car. The latter sells for $54O, for the touring model. This is somewhat higher than what the Over land and the Chevrolet touring cars cost. There is gossip that General Mo tors may shortly raise the price of Chevrolet and that John N. Willys may also mark up the price of the Overland but cannot vouch for the accuracy of this talk. .
 Incidentally, by deciding to use ad- vertising freely. Durant is falling into line with the makers of these other sim ilarly protected cars.
 John N. Willys observed to me a few weeks ago:.
 II spend several million dollars a year on advertising. I was one of the first to see the advantages of large scale advertising to sell automobiles. l would no more think of trying to market our cars without advertising than would of putting them out without wheels. Both are needed to make automobiles go."
 Chevrolet has also used advertising effectively to build up its saIG rapidly. No company making a car of this class has multiplied production as rapidly as Chevrolet has in the last few years.
 As competition becomes keener and keener the marketing of a product be- comes a problem demanding greater and greater attention and skill. The manu- facturer who neglects to use advertis- ing simply allows competitors to steal march on him.

LIQUOR LAW IS ENFORCEABLE

One of the popular plants of those who argue

IN WET MANITOBA

In the first seven months of this year,
the violations of the Manitoban liquor act,
which is a government control law, have
resulted in 141 convictions, with total of
$23,026 collected in fines. In addition,
four Jail sentences were imposed, without
the option of fine. Manitoba's system,
guaranteed by its supporters to be better
than prohibition, does not seem to work
out that way.

ENFORCING LIQUOR LAWS
(Springheld Journal)

During the federal fiscal year, re-
Gently ended, the United States
court for the district in which San
canon county is located, placed in
functions upon one hundred and
sixteen places where it was proven
liquor was being sold in violation
of the national laws. Fines col
1ected amounted to $55,625, against
$37 ,468 the year before. A large
number of offenders were commit
ted to jail.
These facts, made public by Dis
trict Attorney Williamson, are vivid
replies to the cft-repeated state
ment that these laws are not being
enforced and can not be enforced.
Indeed, they are a demonstration
that these are the first liquor laws
that ever have been enforced, or
that have been brought into action
by prosecuting officers.

DRY RECIPE

pontiac, ILL.,, LEADER
The governor of Pennsylvania,
seeking better enforcement of the
prohibition laws, urges three things
particularly:
First, speedy trial and sentence.
Speedy punishment, he maintains,
is the greatest deterrent of crime.
Second, prison sentences instead
of fines. To a bootlegger or brew
er, "a fine is merely kind of Ii
cense to keep on breaking the law"
Third, full use of the injunction
to close up places where the law is
violated. This makes it more diff
hcult for offenders to find places to
carry on their illegal business.
These lines of action are all in
the power of prosecutors and
judges, and imply that the police
authorities arc doing their duty.
With zeal in finding offenders and
bringing them into court, and the
courts acting Oh these suggestions,
enforcement would certainly i'm
prove, in any STATE.

OUR WATCH TOWER
By Sam w. Small

to the countries from which they came
and where their citizenship still is.
The police and court records reveal
that, wherever these aliens are most nu-
merous, from fifty to ninety per cent of
the volators of the prohibition laws are
men and women of that class Because
they are yet aliens and have not taken
any oath to obey the Constitution of the
United States they argue that they are
under no obligation to obey 1T
A Greek restaurant keeper in Spring
field, Illinois, explained that to me very
lucidly a few months ago. "Me?' he
said. mo, l do not sell any liquor in
my place, because, you see, am nat
uralized American citizen and must re-
spect the law, but these other fellows
are Greek and Italian citizens yet and
don't believe the Constitution applies to
them at ALL"
That was a new enc on me, but it
seems plausible to explain why so many
aliens are actual scoffiaws.
One of the judges of the federal dis
trict courts in Pennsylvania told me that
if about fifty of the aliens convicted of
liquor law violations should be deported
in one batch, the news of it would be
spread by all the big newspapers from
Maine to California, and the quick re-
suit would be a dropping Of liquor vio-
lations to an almost negligible minimum.
l believe he told the truth, so let us
put resistless pressure upon Congress
to enact legislation for the compulsory
deportation of all such criminal aliens.
BOOTLEGGERS' JUDGES
Another matter that will be brought
up in the next session of Congress is the
record the police judges in Washington
city are making in dealing with bootleg
gers and hiders of illicit liquors. 1t has
become notorious that the increase Oh
drunkenness and of bootlegging crimes
In the capital city are due most surely 10
the sympathetic treatment of them by
these police judges.
Small fines, short sentences of inn
prisonment and eager dismissals of cases
upon the most frivolous technicalities are

THE DRYS WILL STICK"

That is the editorial statement by the
Washington Times, one OF the Hearst
papers in the nations capital. 1t tells
the vets that prohibition is guaranteed
III the Constitution and that won't
change in this generation or the next"
Such statements are multiplying in
the leading journals of the country and
constitute an interesting message of de-
spair" to all the pro-booze derVishes
from ocean to ocean. Those who are
keeping up the anti-prohibition agitation
either for Office in wee districts, or FOR
revenue only" that can be buncoed from
the brewers, know their cause IS hope
less except for one thing. That thing is
to disintegrate the Anti-Saloon League
and get the church people off the en-
forcement job.
These booze apostles have become
passionately concerned about the fate
of the heathens in China, India and
Africa and declare vociferously that the
Christian people should quit putting
money into the League work, and de-
vote all their surplus cash to the sole
business of supporting missions in lar
tary and Timbuctoo. But they are care
full not TO spend any of their own Doodle
TO send their unfrocked preachers and
high-priced lawyers to those lands to
convince the heathens that prohibition
is un-Christian" and that Christ was
wine-maker and wine-bibber." They
reserve all that sacrilege for the congress
sional committees and the courts OF this
country
The real pity in the case is that so
many ministers and ohurchmen are act
ing exactly as the booze-boosters sug-
gest and are disposed to starve the
League out of action by refusing it the
opportunities and cooperation that it de-
serves.
