Yesterday. The Anti-Saloon League, in convention, voted to forego the undercover method of ensuring enforcement by exerting strong pressure on Government officials, a method used so effectively by the late Wayne B Wheeler. Hereafter it will make a frontal attack with publicity, educational campaigns, and an attempt to answer and condemn all "wet" literature and periodicals. This change is hardly the result of the Hearst disclosures, but springs from the general public feeling against high-handed bureaucracy. Certainly it will ease the hearts and slow the pens of many who thought the League was leagued with the Devil...
...rapidity with which public opinion is manufactured by the press, the wise say that the fostering of an international spirit must be a gradual affair. The more foolish say that fighting is a natural instinct. But that the permanent peace which the world must have and the strong nationalism which has universal dominion over the human imagination are in complete opposition to one another and that one of them must be abandoned, diplomats either do not see or else do not care...

We can but bow our heads...
...Fatimas" and "Chesterfields," American Tobacco's "Lucky Strikes" and "Mela-chrinos" and Philip Morris' "Marl-boroughs." Each sells 75 million to more than 100 million a day. To join this phalanx, not especially to disrupt it, Continental Tobacco recently dressed its new cigaret "Barking Dog" with the strong armor of advertising. So far "Barking Dogs" success is indeterminable. More recently United Cigar Stores and Schulte retail stores quietly began to sell "Three Castles," made in England of Virginia tobacco. If "Three Castles" gains U. S. favor, it may become the brand that United Cigar and Schulte have been...
