whiskey business; there is not a.
furniture or hardware dealer no
matter bow strong he believes in
-prohibition, but what would sell
furniture, glasses,*etc. to a sa
loon man, and so on down the
line of every avocation—if the
whiskey dealer will buy their
wares they will sell to him
the same as to any other man.
So why should not the news'
paper man do -the same? The
Exponent has many offers from
whiskey houses to use large
space in this paper, to the
amount of several hundred dol-
lars a year, but we have turned
thqm down, not because we think
such advertising is wrong, but
because there are some intoller
ant persons who would be quica
to denounce us for doing so, and
would try to make believe • that
we were inconsistent in doing so,
and rather than have these insin-
uations hurled.at the Exponent
anditseoitor we refuse liquor
advertising. - I

We hear much about the peo

where evidence is conclusive.
There are plqnty of. good citizens
in each of thes&cities who believe
in enforcement of the law and
would bring in verdicts of guilty,
but they are never put on juries
for the officers are dominated by
the tough element, or that ele
