Newspapers Cannot Do It
When the eighteenth iimoiuhnent Iwcaine t law t!ie
jJiihlic fully expected (with its chiiractemtic lack (if fore
right) that the end of liquor would spell the end of crime,
courts, insanity and poverty. There was u period of dimin
ished crime which was attributed to prohibition and which
apparently supported the public's hopes hut it was even
tually discovered that the United States had prohibition
in name only, so there begun a period of rigid enforcement.
The inevitable outcome was wholesale prosecutions and
over-crowded prisons, bad liquor and over-crowded asylums
fur the insane, criminal courts doubled in size and cost to
tlie taxpuyers and increased cost of government. Friend
and foe of prohibition have been disillusioned by the after
math. '
When it was found that tlie tuition was not vohintar-ly
observing the eighteenth amendment the government and
public was confident tlwit observance could lie enforced by
tlie iron- hund of the luw. Upwards of two years of the
. most rigid and organized enforcement by federal, state and
Jural authorities has only served to divulge what appears
n be a growing number of inf ructions.
Coventor Pinchot of Pennsylvania, sought hone-dry en
forcement by prohibiting the exhibit of "wet" scenes in
Uie movinir nicturo theaters and in an unsuccessful at-
: 'tempt to alKilish the sacred 'American nearch warrant. The
president of the JUatiomil ftrfrtHriid association has addressed
is association to the effect that the "wholesale lack of
ls)H!ct for the fmv can be blamed in part upon the news
papers." Jn the' same strain is the suggestion by an east
ern editor that the press can enforce prohibition by refus-
ing to publish "wet" jokes.
It is riot infrequently that the public assumes that news-
papers, if not responsible for the world's ills, can easily
; cure them by refusing to mention 'them. A newspaper once
tried to "kill" Theodore Iloosevclt by. refusing to print his
. name. Many national and international movements have
joined headway despite a silent press. It has tieen sug
' frosted that the press could abolish future wars by refus
ing to write about Avar. As for the "wet" joke, it will
fYus the natural death of, jokes front old age. Advocate
and opponents of prohibition feel too strongly on the sub
jwt mid tlie neutral camp is small.
. : Nothiiiff at all can be said for the suggestion that the
- newspapers might foster this thing and suppress that thing
bv combining for the purpose. A combination -oi news.
.'papers for any ptnposo is destructive of the basic concep
tion of a free press. Instead ol an agency lor expression
f the multifarious play "f public opinion, the "combined"
newspapers would become an instrument for propaganda;
and as such they would lose Ixitli their usefulness and their
pirslige.

FIGURE it out for yourself. A
little money, now, to save the
surface of your home and build
' ings, or a considerable sum of
money for repairs and replace
ments which?
Uiipainted surfaces leave the field clear
: (or rain, wind and sun to do their damage.
itf-nWiuckle bouses and out-buildings, once
so new and storm-tight, gaping corner
boards, warped and rotting window frames,
all directly result .from failure to paint.
, Either you have to go in for expeniive re
pair, or let the entire building investment
go. How much better nnd cheaper it would
be to keep the buildings painted I
Tlie cost of even slight repairs on your
home or buildings would practically pay for
repainting them entirely. It is a good thing
for every property owner to know, and
heed, Uuit a coat of p.iiat stands between him
and serious loss.
Paint now with good paint
Paint with Rasmuwen Pure Paint. The
Cast will be trivial compared to the protrc

deterioration.
Look over your property--all of it, and
do it now. llien runie in and talk over
