VHE GAZETTE CANNOT
DEFEND ITS POSITION
The Gazette, “the state’s lead
ing booze paper,” having no ar
gument to sustain its action in
publshing whiskey advertising,
says it will refuse to discuss the
matter further.
When a newspaper cannot de
fend its position on a subject,
about the only thing left for it to
do is to find some excuse to drop
the matter, and that is the atti
tude the Gazette finds itself in.
No one ever thought for a mo
ment that the Gazette would at
tempt to defend its action in pub
lishing whiskey advertising, for
the very good reason that it can
not be successfully defended,
any more than the sale of whis
key can be successfully defend
ed; and the world has never pro
duced a man who was shrewd
enough to successfully defend
the sale of whiskey. Excuses
are made for its sale, and all of
them are more or less flimsy,
but there is no logic or reason
on which to base an argurhent in
defense of the sale of whiskey.
If this is true, it naturally fol
lows that a newspaper, as a me
dium of publicity serving the
best interests of the people, has
no moral right to aid, abet and
by McClure Syndicate.)
encourage the sale of whiskey
by giving it favorable publicity.
Some newspapers do so. on the
excuse that they need the reve
nue—the same excuse offered by
most town, city and other gov
ernments for granting license
for the sale of whiskey.
But the Gazette hasn’t got this
excuse now for it said that it
does not need the money.
This brings us face to face !
with the idea that the Gazette’s
“policy” is: “T’hell with mor
ality; get the coin,” and it is
The Journal’s opinion that this
would be a very appropriate
motto for “the State’s leading
boozepaper.”
No doubt the Gazette thought
it a very brilliant idea to ask if1
The Journal did not publish
whiskey advertising as long
as the law would permit
us to do so. We readily ad
mit that twelve years ago The
Journal did publish whiskey ad
vertising for nearly a year, be
cause we needed the money, or
thought we did. But we quit it,
because we knew it was wrong
and our conscience would not
permit us to continue it, and we
emphatically deny that we pub
lished such advertising' as long'
as the law would permit us to do
so: and we denounce as a wilful,
malicious, slanderous and cow
ardly lie the Gazette’s insinua
tion that we published whiskey I
advertising as long as the law
would permit us to do so.
Now, let the Gazette smoke
that in its pipe.
But, even had we done so, is j
the Gazette justified in doing !
wrong because this paper did
wrong ten or twelve years ago?
Great logic, isn’t it?
Suppose this paper, or its edit
or, had gone out, ten or fifteen
years ago, and foully murdered a
man. Would that be any excuse
for the Gazette man to do the
same thing; and if he should do
so and were arraigned before the
bar of .justice, could he present
as an extenuating circumstance
the plea that Cain and the editor
of The Newark Journal had com
mitted murder?
That is the silliest thing we
«ver heard of an intelligent news
paper man being guilty of, and
if the Gazette isn’t ashamed of it.
its gall far outweighs its intelli
gence.
Right is right, no matter who
does it; and.wrong is wrong, no,
matter when or by whom com
mitted and regardless of who else
may have done wrong; and the;
fact that others have done wrong:
in the past excuses no one in do
ing wrong today.
The Gazette is well aware of
the fact that it does wrong when
it publishes whiskey advertising;
does a thing that it has no moral
right to do, and does a thing
that is inimicable to the best in
terests of society and of the
state, and that it is subject to
and deserves chastisement for
the wrong so committed.
It is The Journal’s privilege
and our right to help administer
the chastisement, and we propose
to continue to do so until the
Gazette gets into the path of rec
titude.
There were 2t(> carloads of
strawberries shipped from Jud
sonia during the past spring. If
we could ship half this many ber
ries from Newark every spring, a
short crop of cotton and corn
would not hurt so bad. And real
ly the only reason we can’t ship
the berries is because we lack
the hustle and grit necessary to
get berry-growing started here.
The election will be held on
Monday, September 11, and all
persons desiring to have their
name on the ticket must file same
with the election commissioners at
least twenty days before the
election. If you want to help save
the country don't wait too long.
Some folks would about as soon
be blind as to have eyes that would
n’t magnify the faults of their
neighbors.
TO DIRECTORS
AND TEACHERS
On Saturday, September 5, prr
motion exercises will be held at
the Court house in Batesville for
pupils in the rural schools who
finish the seventh grade work.
These exercises will be held at 10
o’clock in the morning, and at
this time boys and girls in the
rural shools of the county who
have completed the common
school work will receive certifi
cates showing that they are pre
pared for high school work. Mr.
Cook, State Superintennent, or
Mr. Bond, Supervisor of Rural
Schools, will be present and make
an address. Gov. Hays has also
promised to make an address at
this time along educational lines.
In the afternoon, a meeting of
the directors of the county will be
held. This meeting will be con
ducted by Mr. Cook or Mr. Bond.
Every school director and teach
er is urged to attend.
The schools visited this summer
have been found in good condition
and doing good work.
Very respectfully,
SlDN’KY PkKKNS,
County Examiner.

Making a Good
Crop
Is a very important matter with the farmer.
You cannot make a good crop without good
tools to work with, so it is VERY IMPORTANT
that you equip yourself with plenty of GOOD
TOOLS if you expect to farm successfully. No
man ever made a success on the farm who did
not equip himself with the necessary tools and
implements for doing good work.
*J 1 have a complete line of the famous Moline
implements of all kinds, and it w ill pay you to
investigate the merits and the prices of these
implements. They are the latest improved,
are honestly built and are sold very reasonable.
