THE COOS BAY TIMES, MARSHFIELD, OREGON, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 20, 1 910 EVENING EDITION. THE SALQO PROBLEM Prominent Minister of Colusa, Cal., Writes Interesting Art icle On a Timely Question. A prominent Marshfield business mnn recently received n copy of the Colusa, California, Sun of October 14 In which appeared the following nrtlclo written by Rev. M. Wnllrnth, n prominent clergymnn of that city. "There nro two sides to every ques tion. Ah to the great sin and misery, for tlmo and eternity, caused by In tomporato drinking, theic Is no ques tion. Every movement mndo to di minish this most dreadful evil nnd reduce It to Its mlnmum should be favored nnd pushed, by alj means. Thnt our saloons, ns they are general ly conducted, nro accountable for tho greater pnrt of this evil must bo con ceded. Tho question la: 'Will the closing of nil saloons check tho ovll of drink?' Wo sny no; on the con trary, tho drlnk-dovll will only chnngo front nnd work his ruin In another, nnd It Is to bo feared, worso way; for from tho salooiiB closed by law ngnlnst him, ho wU enter tho sacred precinct of tho family and af fect tho homo with wlfo nnd children; moreover, ho will brood us n sot of Hare nnd hypocrites who will drink fltenlthlly and deny nnd rover It with tho protection of ther own holdings. Tho drunkard nnd tho hypocrite nro both detestnblo, but tho community Is cursed with tho last worso than Inflicted with tho first. "Tho stnto of Mnlno, wo under stand, wnn the first prohibition stnto nnd wo rend that statistics provo a greater amount of liquor drunk thero todny thnn boforo It votoil prohibi tion. Dry Is then not dry but wetter thnn wot. "To drink a glnss of wine, beer or liquor Is, por so, no sin. No mnn can domonstrnto It to bo a transgression of tho decalogue. It Is with drinking, ns with smoking, ehowlng, plnvlng cards, dancing nnd tho llko; these things nro sin only by ovll uso. "Theroforo, wo must combnt tho ovll In Its Hfo giving reality thnt Is Intomporance. Qrnntod, thnt saloons nro nltogothor n most powerful oecn tlon to sins of Intomporance nnd thnt a mnn docH very well novor to cuter one. But occasions to ovll nro and will bo nro ti ml ovory mnn In ono way or another. Wo must Icnm oursolv nnd train our children to stand In tho contest with tho ovll nnd over como tho (emptor. This nlono Is tho order to win victories nnd n crown. "Granted also that total nbstlnonco Is absolutely necossnry, nny, tho only means of salvation for n drunkard; not all men who tnko n drink arc drunkards. Tho closing of saloons will not convert tho lutemporato. "What wo should do then Is not to close nil saloons but to restrict thorn, force them to moral moderation, to Banctlfy tho day of the Lord by keep ing closed thnt day set by Illm for Ills adoration nnd so to gain tho help of tho Almighty Clod to load n vir tuous Hfo, ns by tho way, also, nil our town storekeepers should do, ns well, forco them to close tip at an early hour ovory day, say nt nluo o'clock, thnt saloon keepers and vis itors Join tho holy family circle, mnko thorn to obsorvo the law nnd never doal out n drink to n minor or nn over-Indulging. If they will not do so, vortly they deserve then, to bo ostrnclzod, "Total closing would cnuso n sud den violent shock to tho wonted life nnd order of tho community which begets Buffering, deop nnger and dlro want from which tho town would hardly recovor. "Tho undorslgjied hna written freely becnuso ho Is for the reason thnt not to drink n drop Is ge(ter than taking n drink. Hut not every man, doing good nnd drinking with moderation, Is bound to rhoopo tho bo'ter inl -tb-etaln. "Rov. M. WALLRATII."

About Octobor 14, tho Coos liny Times contained a call addressed to Republicans urging them to meet nt tho Chamber of Commerce Saturday, October 15, for tho purposo of or guiilzlug a Republican club, nnd hand bills were also scattered broadcast to arouse Interest, this effort resulted In tho meeting of n few of the fulth full, sny 1-2 dozen. There wns another cnll published In Tho Tiniest October IS, requesting tho presence of nil but the abomin able Democrats, described In a bloody shirt article which contained nt least fourteen violent descrlptlvo adjec tives, denoting malice, premeditated. Now, tho writer does not understand thnt conditions demand bo much violence; Is It possible thnt the Re publican party Is no longer profitable to the bosses? Are Republicans unwilling to be herded togethor to do tho will of tho luterosts? Has tho party been declared barren and unfruitful? And did not mnko rush In nt this stage of barrenness and plead with his party Lords as did tho dresser of tho vineyard, when the Lord of tho same condemned n tree becnuso of its barrenness as recorded In Luko 13, I'-O using the langungo accredited to tho dresser, a member democratic county central committee.
