That summary legislation ha. caused at least a partial change of sentiment toward prohibition a. a political question wa. convincingly evidenced by election results In Alabama and In many cltie. thi. spring, but that the temperance causa I. lo.ing favor ln Its natural strong hold, the pulpit, Is a thing that rest, on testimony which, while . striking and oumulatlve, may, - after all, prove to be only an Isolated group of coincidences. Within the last week religious and tem perance circle, have been agitated by the action of a bishop and two ministers of the Episcopal church ln pointedly declaring their opposition to prohibition and even less restrictive regulations. The announcement of th Rev. W. A. Wasson of Rlverhead, B, I., that he had resigned hi. clerical of flca In order to devote hi. time to fighting tha humbug temperance" wa. followed In a day or two by an arraignment of pro hibition and lt. tenet, delivered by the Rev. K. A. Wasson of Newark. N. J., a brother of the Rlverhead rector. But far more .Igniflcant Is the equally outtoken deliverance of Bishop Frederick Burgess at th convention of the Long Island diocese on 8unday opening and local option, the two questions paramount In the mind, of the people of New York during the last year. A. to Sunday opening, Bl.hop Burgess aid a law die. the moment It cease, to accord 'with the convictions of a strong minority of the people. "It is no use keep ing It on the statute book., for all lt does Is to become one of the richest source, of unholy revenue to unscrupulous police and officials." Pointing out also what he looks on aa the defect, of local option, the bishop said that if the efforts of prohibitionists were directed to limiting the number of saloon, strictly to the else of the popula tion, and the number aa small as possible, "It would result In untold good to the com munity." Bishop Burgess' bold utterance excited much comment among the clergy and laity In attendance, but it did not have the bombshell effect lt might have produced upon similar gathering, in some part, of th country. The published report of the proceeding, states that while the bishop', advanoed position wa. dwelt upon, the absence ot dissent was conspicuous. Local i.ed as this outburst of antl-prohlbltlon feeling appears to be, tha attitude of the Long Island diocese is bound to challenge th attention, and views of churchmen far beyond its confines, and thus serve to illustrate th trend of pulpit thought. MEMORIAL, DAY. It. Purpose Appeals to Every Shadowed Home. Chtcago Record-Herald. Memorial day has its deep personal mean ing- for every one whose house death has entered. It 1. a day of beautiful services, of tender thoughts, of the purest affections, of sorrow softened by devout thankfulness for the association, of the past and by the moat ln.plrlng hope, for the future. Tha day need not be given over to mourn Ing, but it la shockingly out of keeping with its solemn and devout character to dese crate it with noisy and perhaps sordid sporting events. It Is not a day for wrest ling bouts, or bicycle race., or Joy riding, or riotous "good time." It is a day for rs.t and quiet, for reflection, for religious sentiment, for a decent regard for the feel ing, of other., and every grossly incon gruous amusement Is a profanation. And it 1. to be hoped that as the .acred memorial custom live, on we may be able to eliminate from Memorial day all that Offend, against Its purpose, violate. Its sanotlty and tend, to make of lt a com mon day off. Talklnar (or Exercise. Wall Street Journal.

Talks for people Anybody can sell goods without profit. It takes neither a real sales man nor good advertising to do that The good salesman Is the man who can make a showing on the right side of the ledger, and good advertising sells goods, because they are worth the moner, not because of cut prices. Often cut prices are cut-throat prices. One fool merchant can jump ln at the wrong time and, without making a cent for himself, spoil the leglttmste trade of every other store. For example, lt happens usually that some of the Omaha hat stores get ex cited early ln July and sells out straw bats at cost. Straw hats should sell until August 1st at a profit. The public recognizes that every store has a right to a profit; they could not stay In business otherwise. What is the use cf a merchant cutting prices on seasonable goods before the selling season is well toward the end, when the right sort of advertising would sell the goods at a profit over and above tha cost of the advertising. Most bat advertising copy Is juat a poor picture and a price not a word about . the gooda. The merchant, when be bought the stock, bad some good reaaona for bla selections. Why not tell the buyers those reasons?, The drummer who sold the bata bad a good talk about bla goods. Why not use this aa advertising copy?
