They nearly monopolized the motion pic’ re With their unlimited funds, controlled committees and convent It is necessary to assure the ds friends of the dry cause throughout Nation that the dry organizations have no intention whatever of allowing Prohibition to go be default. The Congressmen who vote ) attempt to legalize the sale of intoxicat- ng liquor will certainly be called to answer e the people in due time.

What other organization a building in every hamlet—what other or- ganization has one, two, three or more rep- resentatives in each community? What other organization is animated by a conscientious convigtion ,out.of -whigh Jis born a deamlass conviction? Consider the branches of the Christian Church in America which are committed ab- solutely to the proposition that license high or low is wrong in principle and powerless as a remedy for the liquor evil, that such | a traffic can never be legalized without sin on the part of the commimity, a sin which rests its guilt upon every citizen who fails to protest and to use his citizenship against it. The Methodist Church in its various | branches, with eight million members and a full twenty million constituents, is of- ficially on record. The Baptist Church, sub- stantially as strong, is on record. So is | the Presbyterian Church and a score of other denominations, some of which at least are no less prominent and hardly less strong. 3 The. Episcopal Church is certainly not un- friendly to Prohibition, and a large group of Catholics earnestly support it. True, these people lack leadership at the present mo- ment; they lack a general organization which will bring them into coordinated activity in defense of their principles. Make no mistake about it; the leadership will be found; the organization will be effected. In the first place, Dr. Clarence True Wilson and | his organization ought to be required by public opinion to offer proof of the intimated charge that | the press of the United States, the movie theatres, ete, have been controlled by liquor interests and have printed and screened paid for propsgandnwxocl the people. They ought to be required to prove the charge that conventions and committees have been corrupted and controlled through the use of “un- limited funds.” Until proof is offered that the great daily newspapers of the country, the motion picture | industry, the platform committees of Democratic and Republican National and State conventions, and | the conventions themselves, were controlled by liquor interest money, or other money, Dr. Wilson and his committee ought to be regarded simply as cheap political slanderers. In fact there is every reason in the world for the public so to regard them. Tha(! they do so is evidenced by the voting of the peonle at the polls. In the second place, if half of what the Clipsheet says regarding the state of public opinion, the ezrnestness of the Prohibitionists and the merit of their cause is true, why doesn't the great American majority they pretend to represent form a Prohibi- tion Party and make the issue direct. If they tell even half of the truth, every day they neglect to do that they are betraying the people they profess to represent and the country. Let them throw their banners to the breeze. Let in the open and demand a fair count instead of trying to rig a majority by playing party against party and faction against faction. Why not meet the issue like men instead of .trying to hold their position by- bulldozing and blackjacking individual Congressmen and politicians by threats of defeat through the use of their blocs of votes in primary and other elections? Let them prove that they believe as they boast. Let them thow their banners to the breeze. Let them demonstrate that they are Americans with - courage to stand for their principles rather than ' intriguing, trading, conniving, politicians. They put ) Prohibition flxnnmm;nnthepolmm issues.

The methods employed must sell more goods at less cost to informed customers who de- mand them The modern factor in this bus can secure the cooperation of dis which alone ibutors, can find cost of the whole operation, is advertising. The United States was the first country to discover that selling is made easier by the creation of “pull” from the customer than by the exclusize use of “push” from the manufacturer One of the effects of the advance of popular education has been to make the reading of news- papers a universal habit. This in turn has built up the very large aggregate sales of newspapers today, and has placed at the disposal of adver- | tisers the most economical producer of “pull” sol| \fat, discovered.

The Conservatives' plan for remoulding the House of Lords nearer to their hearts' desire was published at the end of last week. It is the work of an unofficial committee of members of both Houses which has been sitting under the Chair- manship of Lord Salisbury. It provides for a com- pact chamber of 320 members, to be constituted as follows: 150 to be elected from among themselves by the hereditary peers; 150 to be elected by county and borough councils; the rest to consist of peers of the blood royal, the Law Lords, and the Arch- bishops. Elected members would sit for twelve years and women would be eligible. The committee, in its zeal for democratic institutions, is even pre- pared to admit, in a modified form, payment of members. It suggests that if the income of a member falls short of £600 it should be made up to As to the powers of the reformed Second Chamber, the chief recommenda- {tion is that its veto of a measure could not be overridden when the bill at issue had been passed a sccond time after an appeal to the country. It n not proposed to interfere with the rights of the but to take away the sole right of the Speaker to decide what is a money bill and to vest it in a standing committee of both Houses, with the Speaker at Chairman. Marching On Cities. (Prince Rupert Empire.) The marching of unemployed on cities like Lon- don and Washington, is more dramatic than ef- fective. It does not get anywhere. It is not as if it required demonstrations like these to acquaint governments with the fact of there being unemploy- ment, and that many persons are distressed. Every administration knows it full well. The solution of |economic questions, bristling with difficulties will inot be hastened by the mere concemranon of thousands of needy persons.
