A lot of people ere misled by newspapers In regard to the 18th amendment, says The Country Gentlemen. SlJSjKSS'S.tS many of them constantly gibing at prohibition, they begin to wondhr If perehenee It la en unjust lew end en Infringement of pereonel liberty. ' l The point readers sometimes orerw look Is that these newspapers were never for prohibition. Prohibition was put over in spite of them, and their attitude is still unchanged and no necessirlly a mirror of public belief. The prohibition issue came up to these newspapers a good many years ago as a moral, financial an political lseue. It was a moral issue because M iDHueri) oi pi|Diic Huiimvui uwj must, decide what their st&nd should be. It was a financial issue because liquor dealers were bit advertisers. It' was a political issue because most newspapers found it neoessary to decide whether they would be partisan bedfellows of saloon keepers and liquor-subsidized politicians. Having cast their lot with the wets on these various issues in the days r <before prohibition came to lis final victory, it is to be expected that they j might feel their own personal liberty abridged by the passage of the Vol- j stead act. Add so a lot of our allegedly great \. and . confessedly moral newspapers Vare still in effect if not in intent working for the liquor interests of America with sneer and slur and joke, and Insidiously poisoning the minds of. readers against a law wbich represents the voice of a decisive majority. By tfcelr clever attacks they have fooled some readers, but farmers, apparently, are still staunch for law enforcement, and employers of labor, bankers and mothers of children, stand with them. Some of these papers support liquor in another way. They oarry advertisements of socalled remedies containing a liberal content of alcohol. Even the farm press is not entirely free from this, though practically all farm papers reflect the farmer's dryness In their editorial columns. The Journal of the American Medical association points out the danger of alcoholic nostrums and takes a ceraln farm paper to task. Omitting the name of the farm publication and leaving our reference to Indicate ads mentioned, here is The Journal's criticism: "Cures for cancer, epilepsy, piles, asthma, the whiskey habit, rheumatism; baldness ~fcnd rupture, 'weakmen' cures?these are but a few of the fakes featured. It?the farm pa%Jier?stands for makinsr prohibition world wide?and advertises nostrums whose most potent ingredient is alcohol and contain from 15 to 18 per cent of this ingredient.- It sands for tho stripping of waste from he public s^||^|fi||B0FpotuateB the most waste known to IWi civilization, that of the iniquitous patent medicine?and obtains no small proportion of its advertising receipts from such perpetuation." Alcohol diss hard. It is willing to ' live under any alias in order to be allowed to live, but it deserves no refuge in socalled remedies, remark. i able chiefly for their power to "cure'' aridity of that part of the gullet yt which is often spoken of as the whis"Country Press'* Misnomer.,. A The term "country pressM~or "coun51 I try newspaper" will be the next figI urehead of the publishing world to go Into the discard. The term is in ltaelf misleading. and gives a wrong impression. It belittles the institution it is supposed to describe, says The Pacific Printer and Publisher. Most of the newspapers to which it is applied are. published; in good, lively towns of from a thousand "to 5,000 population. Most of these papers have linotype machines, modern presses, are housed in good buildings and in every way are modern and going concerns. The term "country newspaper" applied to such an Institution is-uncomplimentary. It smacks of the days when the publisher took potatoes and other garden truck in payment of subscriptions.
