The Christian Science Monitor in a re-
cent story carrying a Chicago date line
says that indications are that the liquor
propaganda organizations are preparing to
revive their huge publicity plants Of old
license days in the event of Governor
Smiths election to the Presidency The
purpose of course would be to follow up
the advantage gained by the liquor inter-
ests IN Smiths election.
The Christian Science Monitor then
gives a vivid picture of what these liquor
propagandists publicity plants were like
in the old wet days, quoting from a book
let issued by the National Wholesale
Liquor Dealers Association commemorate
ing their twentieth anniversary of pub
neity work that report of 1915 reads in
part as follows:

TRIAL CITY. NEBRASKA

&c. =. 1 wish to state that the senti-
ment of our students Is decidedly in
favor of prohibition and the upholding of
the Eighteenth Amendment. There is
no sentiment here to allow for an in
crease in the alcoholic content for bever-
ages; to return the control of the traffic
to the states; or. to establish the dispen-
sary system. similar 80 that in effect in
Ontario, Canada / wish to say that the
sentiment Of our College students is very
much stronger in relation to National
Prohibition than it was in the pre-pro-
n bition days. The benefits of prohibi-
ton are too great for us even to consider
return 20 the former system and
license"

MINISTER. MARYLAND

Conditions among college students at
the present time as compared with pre-
prohibition times are incomparably bet
ter The change over the past is amaz ng.
OF course, colleges have some difficulties,
but they are nothing as compared with
former conditions. To go back to the sa-
loon or modification of the present system
looking toward liberalizing the Eight
zenith amendment or the Volstead act is
unthinkable, in my judgment"

d. The amount and evils Of
drinking among college students have
been enormously eXag gerated3i in the press
and the magaz ne literature of the Coun-
try. There is certainly nothing like
much alcoholic liquor consumed by coll
Iege students today as there was in pre-
prohibition days Drinking and drunken
ness. which were taken as matter Of
course before the Eighteenth Amendment
was passed, now are no ed by everybody
and are played up in huge headlines in
the newspapers. l am convinced
that a large majority of the students in
our colleges and universities accept the
Amendment and the Volstead act just as
they accept other constitutional proyi-
sions and legal enac5ments curtailing the
freedom of action of the individual and
thereby make possible the existence Of
liberty"

I am personally very much

so far as I have been able to observe

liquor consumption, whatever it is, is
likely to be more CONSPICUOUS and receive
more attention. 1t seems to be quite the
fashion to start rumors concerning the

rumors are investigated they are usually

LONG NAMES ROUSE IRE

LONDON, Feb 13-Double bar relied names are not so popular as in days of old.
 Newspaper editorial writers, in defense of the "sub-editors," as head writers are called here. have opened an offensive against them, especia,.y icose whose names ap- pear frequently in front print Such historic names as Pitt, Penn and Peel, are recalled as being ideals for newspaper head lines.
 There are five ministers of the front rank with hyphenated name. These names, it is pointed out, become still more awkward when their possessors have titles which necessitate addition of a first name to their description.
 Of the politicians with doublc- barrelled names Sir Philip Gun liffe-Lister, president of the Board of Trade, stands first. which the writers consider a handicap. He was born with one hyphen and in herited another. Formerly he was entitled Sir Philip Lloyd Creame.
 The four other ministers are Right Hon. Sir William Joynson. Hicks, home secretary, Right Hon. Sir Arthur Herbert Drummold Ramsay Steel-Maitland, minister of labor; Right Hon. Sir Laming Worthington-Evans, secretary Of war, and Right Hon. Sir William Mitchell-Thomson, postmaster gen eral.
