NEWSPAPERS OPINIONS
LIQUOR ADVERTISING

Since repeal the alcoholic beverage industry has
spent approximately $65, 100000 year for liquor
advertising. The object of this advertising Is to
make drinkers out of nOn-drnikers and to increase
progressively the demand for and the consumption
,f alcoholic beverages. This campaign is succeed
ing. During 1886 the consumption of distilled
liquors increased nearly so per cent as compared
with 1884. The consumption of heer has grown
from over 100000 barrels in 1888 to over 49,
400 900 barrels in 1885. This campaign, deliber-
stely planned and effectively executed, is making
this nation of drinkers That fact ought to arouse
the intelligent opposition of every Christian and
socially minded citizen. Disastrous results Of this
liquor campaign are evident on every hand. Acct
dents, motor deaths, arrests for drunkenness
deaths from alcoholism, crime, law-breaklng, cor

MR.. LANpoN ACCEPTS

Flags waved bands blared, and all that sort OF
thing in Topeka yesterday when Alfred M. Landon
accepted the Republican nomination for the presl-
dency This Pennsylvania-born governor of Kansas
delivered a speech of acceptance which had been
prepared with care.
1t is heartening that Governor Landon declares
unequivocally for government which would give
business and industry an opportunity to catch their
breath and move toward recovery without all sorts
of interference. He pledges himself to do what the
Roosevelt administration promised four years ago
to do, but disregarded the plea that the national
emergency made reckless spending necessary.
Mr.. Landon's record as governor of Kansas is
proof that he really believes in balanced budget.
Americans endorse with enthusiasm, for they are
fearful of the consequences of governments free
spending of borrowed funds. i
The New Deal 'spellbnders' will declare that
Mr.. Landon's promises are so much buncombe, for
getting conveniently that their own leaders have
honored their Chicago platform of 1882 in the
breach
South Carolina is spectator. 1t is re-
moved from the activities of the campaign for
president Its electoral votes accounted safely
in Mr.. Farley's bag. South Carolinians who vote
in the primary elections will be pledged to support
Roosevelt and Garner.
In the doubtful states notwithstanding Mr..
Farley's seeming confidence, there many doubt
full states at the moment - there will be exciting
incidents as the campaign wears along. The coun-
trv has vet to learn what manner of campaigner
Mr.. Landon is.-Charleston News and Courier.

thing in here about my being al
lowed to go near a sitting hen;
so perhaps under this policy there
would be no payment if | were
pecked to death by a sitting hen.
So guess l had better stay away
from sitting hens"
A good plan to follow is not to
wait twenty years before reading
an accident insurance policy or
any other kind Of insurance pol
icy. Read it before beginning to
pay for it.
One man who had a home in
the North which he closed for six
months in the winter, and a home
in the South which he closed for
six months in the summer, discov-
BRED that the Insurance policy he
was carrying on each home be-

WHO KNOWS WHAT?

interpret the language Of a legal
document is doing another foolish

spy STORIES MIGHT BE THRILLERs IN
MOVIES
(By BRUCE CATION

There seems to be some reason to suspect
that an enthusiastic movie producer may
have taken over the United States navy this
summer for the purpose of giving US good
old international spy thriller.
A former yeoman gets jagged for part
ing with high naval secrets, and an eX-ot-
fcer must answer charges that he sold Vi
tai documents to the japanese in the dark
of the MOOD.
Sant-eyA tourists with cameras APP
proach our seacoastS at their own peril,
and, all in all, the E. Phillips Oppenheim
school of foreign politics hasn't had such a
good season since Mata Hari met French
firing squad. ..
Where there is great deal of smoke
you can usually find bit of fire, and it is
quite likely that someone has, in sober
truth, been passing out stray bits of infor-
nation to foreign powers
That sort of thing has been going on IN
every great capital since the days of Queen
Elizabeth, and it would be rather odd of it
had stopped altogether.
But we shall all get through the summer
much more comfortably if we take this spy
business in our stride and refuse to let it
excite US.
In the first place, we might as we'll real
ize that most of the confidential informa-
ton alleged to have been peddled in the
spy markets recently is the sort of stuff
that any foreign naval intelligence officer
could get without stirring outside of its
own bailiwick.
For one thing, it could go to the movies /;
surely the ordinary newsreels - to say
nothing of those musical comedies with
battleship backgrounds - could reveal
about as much about the ordinary arrange
ments of guns, airplane catapults, and so
forth as could any out-o-work ex-officer.
Anybody with a few dollars to spare
can buy a copy of that excellent British
compendium, "Jane's Fighting Ships" In
that book he will find complete, detailed
descriptions of practically every warship
afloat, with full information about the
amount of armor plate it carries and where
it carries it, the size, number, and range OF
it's guns, its speed and cruising range, the
number of airplanes it carries. the place
and date OF, it's building, and the size of its
crew. $780,. .s ." ...r =
On top of that, there are the regular re-
ports made by all naval attaches. These
men miss very little; indeed, no very great
effort is made to make them miss much.
For the simple fact is that the navies Of
the world have very few real secrets, n
time of peace. Each one knows just how
the other is equipped and what it can do
what more is there to learn? r. i
In time of war;, of course, the picture
changes. Then the spy's information cal
be vitality important. But we aren't at wal
now, and there is not much sense in gettlnt
into a lather about the dark and sinister
deeds of spies, who are merely collecting
information that is common property, any
way. 49,. 1'"...'s -.
