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. It is *a
