The Gazette Will Quit
Whiskey Advertising
The Arkansas Gazette an
nounces that it will print no
more whiskey advertising after
December SI.
That is the last day liquor
can be sold legally in Arkan
sas, and no one is surprised that
the Gazette will accept no more
whiskey advertising after that
date.
The Gazette knows it is mor
ally wrong for a newspaper to
publish whiskey advertising,
but the Gazette has published
all the whiskey advertising it
could get, and its announce
ment that it will publish no
more advertising of this char
acter places that paper in the
same class with the fellow who
does right only because of his
fear of the penalty of the law.
The man who does right be
cause he FEARS to do wrong,
may be classed as a good citi
ten, but the man who doesright
because he DESIRES to do right
is a BETTER citizen.
The Gazette will quit print
ing liquor advertising for the
same reason that the saloon
men will quit selling liquor—
because they are FORCED to
do so.
If it is morally wrong to sell
whiskey, the Gazette deserves
equal condemnation with the
open saloon, because the favor
able publicity given the liquor
business through the Gazette
has been an important factor
in the sale and distribution of
liquor in the state.
There is no denying the fact
that the demand for liquor is
increased by the favorable pub
licity given it through such pa
pers as the Gazette.
A liquor advertisement is an
invitation to drink, a argument
in favor of drinking, a recom
mendation of a particular
brand. If liquor advertisemetns
did not make people drink more
liquor, and make more people
drink 1 it}u n\ no one would be
foolish enough to spend money
on them.
1 he Gazette does right be
cause it is forced to do right,
and not because it wants to do
right.
M. I’. Huddleston of Para
gould has announced his with
drawal a a candidate for at
torney general.lt was conceded
by all well-informed politicians
that Mr. Huddleston, on ac
count of his wide acquaintance
over the state and his well
known ability as a lawyer, was
a most formidable candidate,
and his retirement was a great
surprise.
Eugene Debs announces that
he will not be a candidate for
President again. Fact is, Gene
never was -i candidate—he just
thought he was.
Ninety per cent of the people
of the world want peace, but
the other ien per cent always
manage to keep the balance of
the world scrapping.

Don’t Rub; It Penetrates
Otto Funk, a famousGerman
divine, tells the story of a boy
who fell from a ladder and was
mortally hurt.His father’s grief
was keen, and in his anguish
he upbraided the lad.
“Did I not tell you to stay a
way from that ladder? Now
you see the result of your dis
obedience. We all suffer on
your account.”
What was the need of thus
“rubbing it in”? The boy felt
the pain and sorrow he had
caused his parents as well as
himself without the application
of paternal chafing. When sin
is followed by inexorable suf
fering, nearly all of us have
porous sensibilities. “It pene
trates” without rubbing. There
are those, to be sure, who need
a stimulus to feel the havoc
they have wrought, but in most
cases our better angels ought
to admonish us: “Don’t rub; it
penetrates.”
It is so with the prodigal, al
ter he has degenerated to the
swine. If you have the spirit of
the elder brother, you will rub
hard, when the nerves of the
sufferer are over-sensitive; but
in the spirit of the father you
will speak of a new robe
and a new life. Not
that thef ather condoned the
riotous living. Not that; but he
realized that the school of sor
row had taught its lesson.
When a brother suffers for
his mistakes, silence is golden;
his own remorse is loudly elo
quent. When your friend loses
his sight in consequence of ni
cotine poisioning, when the
spendthrift must do hard labor
because he has wasted all he
had inherited, when the cheeks
of the young libertine grow hol
low and his eyes shine withcon
suming fire, when Samson,
blind Samson, must play in the
house of strange gods to amuse
his enemies—“don’t rub; it
penetrates.”
The prophets were stern in
rebuking the sinner and awful
in warning the straying. But
touching, above all else, was
their language in wooing the
wayward back to God. There is
no finer poetry anywhere than
the sublimely tender passages
of Isaiah in which he comforts
his people. When suffering has
opened Israel’s eyes to sin, he
sings of salvation.
If a brothersuffersbecau.se of
wasted vitality, he is taking his
medicine, and he needs your
sympathy.And therefore,when
ever we hear a self-appointed
critic excoriating a sore spot by
chafing and chiding,let us kind
ly admonish him by saying,
Don t rub; it penetates.”_

The candidates for attorney
general have narrowed down
to two—Louis Rhoten of Little
Rock and John D. Arbuckle of
fort Smith. Attorney General
V\ allace Davis who was recent
ly appointed by Gov. Hays,has
been mentioned as a probable
candidate but close friends of
Mr. Davis say he will not be a
candidate. The withdrawal of
M. P. Huddleston of Paragould
eliminates the best man men
tioned for the position.
