power of the cities in state legisla-
lures means decreasing power Of the
country districts to enforce their will
about prohibition. This tendency will
not show itself in Congress immedi-
ately. In the nation, prohibition still
is absolutely safe, with a very large
preponderance of senator's and con
gressmen coming from dry rural com
munities. But there is impending a
Congressional reapportionment that
has been due since 1920. Congress has
lodged the difficulties and political
embarrassments inherent in making it.
II cannot be much longer postponed.
When it comes, 1t will reflect the larg-
er populations of the cities and to that
extent increasing power for the vets
and for every other kind of city point
of view. Last weeks elections includ-
ed some local defeats for the drys,
but these were to be expected and did
not constitute any present material
setback. Nevertheless these elections
compose the most definite and serious
threat of future loss of ground the
drys have experienced since prohibi-
ti0n.
Persons who deplore the effect Of
increased power of the cities on pro
hibition. welcome the trend in other
respects.
Dissatisfaction of the cities with
control of the country, their cropping
for self-government, is evident every
where. Suburban areas of New York
city. which still are administered as
counties, but are in reality cities, tried
for home rule in the recent election.
They lost. But city populations are
destined to get more and more home
rule. Following and accompanying
this, is constitutional trend which
will recognize economic boundaries and
natural units of government instead
of arbitrary state lines and arbitrary
cities and counties. 1t is the judg-
ment of one of the ablest students of
the federal constitution that the next
great constitutional innovation will be
the setting up of units of government
which ignore state lines and recognize
economic ones. A start has been made
in what is known as the New York
port authority" and sign of crystal
lizing determination was exhibited by
the threat Of Chicago TO set up a local
government separate from the state Of
Illinois. Things like this will come
about and the Supreme Court, as well
as Congress, will be sympathetic to
the tendency,

FAKE ADVERTISING n
SCHEMES CATCH COIN

When a local printer says anything
against fake advertising schemes, those
who put them over generally complain
that it is case of sour grapes.
But it is disgusting to a legitimate
printer and newspaper publisher, to
witness the ease with which these
outsiders come into our city, and with
in few hours extract many dollars
from our business men on some scheme
of advertising, that in many cases is
practically worthless.
Several months ago two parties, one
following the other, came to Bates
vile, enlisted the workers of two of
our churches by dividing the proceeds
with them, but charging an outrageous
price for the advertising. Each re-
manned about one day, inducing local
people to do their soliciting, and left
for other fields, promising to forward
material necessary to carry out the
contracts. This material has never ar
rived, and local parties have been en-
barrassed on account of having innO-
Gently been a party to the scheme.
Our churches are rendered the col
umns Of the local press for every kind
" BNbllNllN llltll Will tltNl illt Ndllf-t vi
Christianity and moral uplift. yet mem
bers Of the churches permit themselves
to become tools often of pure takers,
to extract money from our business
men, these takers knowing full well
that the business men will not turn
down anything that promises to aid
the churches.
Recently the business men of Little
Rock formed an organization, and en-
tered into an agreement to in the fu-
ture turn down all advertising schemes
and patronize only the city press, and
use such advertising matter as they
themselves would compile.
We believe that the press Of Bates
vile has a legitimate protest coming,
when these outsiders come into our
midst and through one subterfuge or
another cause our business men to
expend their publicity funds in way
to discredit legitimate Advertising
Batesville Record.
POcahOntas has had her share of
these fake advertising schemes and
one or two like the Record describes
have been recently put over 1t would
be well for advertisers to consider the
value of their advertising dollar be-
fore they spend it on untried schemes.

Following elections in several states
last week, political leaders of both
groups in privately expressed judg-
mentS, agree that no deduction is to
be made as between Democratic and
Republican hopes for next year, or ON
national issues, except that there are
some important trends. all of which in
time will cut deep. The first, in the
phrase of one national leader. is that
the city is beating the country. In
New York certain constitutional
amendments, chiefly favored by the
cities and some of them supposed to he
not acceptable to the country were car
ried. In New Jersey, the city machine
elected "A Democratic governor. Else
where the result showed that the num-
ber Of states dominated by their cities
is increasing. The long continued
trend Of population from the farms to
the city is showing itself in more num-
erous votes in the cities and swing
Vt the balance OF power to them.
Political effects Of this are recog-
nized and accepted as early develop
ments in national politics. The cities
are wet, the country dry. Increasing
