The more we see of magazines the ! j' more we are convinced that their ( circulation largely depends on the character of pictures used in conneclion with corset advertising.

' -??*ukllAn?o enil r? D1Y1? 4 DeCHUW U1C 1 Cfuunvaiia auu ?v_ , Iocr&ts failed to put in a plank endora- j iug the eighteenth amendment the . prohibition party will nominate a presidential ticket in its national convention at Lincoln, Nebraska, .accord- t utg to Virgil Hinshaw, chairman of * ~ the national prohibition committee. J Nebraska is the home of Wm. J. ^ Bryan and Lincoln is the city injj which Bryan's paper, the Commoner, la published. Thus once more we see'( fixe fine Italian hand of the man who l I was last week repudiated by his fel- [ 3 low-democrats at San Francisco be- J cause he wanted them to meddle in 3 something which in the light of the f most liberal interpretation could not ] " ,t>o construed as a party issue. ^ Exactly what difference it will make to the prohibition law as to ^ whether a president is personally wet or dry is not clear. The 18th amend- ] ment is a part of the fundamental ? law of the land and cannot be re- ' . pealed modified or amended without ? two-thirds vote of the* legislative.' bodies of the 48 states of the union. j 'The 18th amendment prohibits the i sale and manufacture of intoxicating < liquors. I"1 The Volstead act is a creature of .Mnmu and limits the amount of! ^ FOl f Plantation 1546 acr 300 acres under cu . fence, balance fin< barns, and stables, outfit Can be be v ested write or cor through plantatior ? r I : $ 14 Dumi I ' B J > * I I' , . alcohol In beverages <o one-half o one per cent. The amount of alcoho allowed could be raised by congres sloiial action only, and any amend mpnt increasing the per centage o alcohol in beverages would have t come through congress. It would ap pear to any sensible man that a pres ident would have very little, if any thing, to do with modifying the na tional prohibition law. It is a?foregone conclusion that th wets will attempt to elect wet con gressmen. That is the first move, am is more important to prohibitionist than whether the president is "wet' or "dry." Virtually all congressmei from the south will be "dry;" the; Eire that way now and will unquea tlonably stay that way. Most congress men from the middle and westeri states #111 remain dry. The only hop of the "wets," regardless of who i sleeted president, is in the east an< north where sentiment favors a mod ification of the Volstead act so a3 ti permit the sale of light wines an< oeer. But back of all the agitation a :he San Francisco convention an< oack of this latest move to nominat i prohibition presidential ticket is th< :onsuming ambition of Mr. Bryan t< oe president. He doesn't of course itsnd a ghost of a show, but it woul< :ake a miracle man to make him se< It that way. # It is a pity the prohibition, part: x IaA ?*1 AnAitirK n 1 nna Thftl 1WB UUL ICt WVH vuvuqu ntvMv. jot-what they asked for and the] ihould be satisfied. To continue t< rub it in'? by keeping up a cam pialgn of agitation is calculated* to d< :he party considerable harm. Then s danger of-a reaction. NOTICE.
