To that end tho National Model Llconso Lcnguo reconmionda that such ordinances provido specifically for tho Impeachment of a Judge who fails to ImpoEo tho mandatory penal ty. A Judgo will not bo easy on n sa loon keeper if it means bolng hard on himself; but so long' as tho law pormlts discretionary power to tho disciplinarian, that long will tho ward politician exorclso his power to mnko tho possessor of a pull a law unto himself. Tho consequences aro that a small percentage of saloon keepers quickly learn that a political pull Is nioro to bo desired than a reputation for con ducting an orderly place "It Is tho certainty rather than tho sovorlty of .punishment that deters from crime." If Richard Roe "turns a trick" and gots away with it, John Doo will bo tompted to take a chance, had Richard Roo lost his llconsn John Doe would havo walked a chalk lino. Tho Way to Get Hid of Dives. The decent element in tho liquor business among (distillers, -brewers and wholesale liquor dealers favor the annihilation of tho divo If, for no other reason, because its exis tence is a menace to his business. Ninety odd per cent of tho saloon keepers aro tho bitter enemy of dives because the divo brings his business into disrepute, causes his family to suffer undeserved criti cism; becauso ho la tired of longer bearing tho odium attached to his business, placed there by tho mis deeds of tho black sheep of the bus iness. Tho Greater Oregon Homo Rulo Association stands ready to lend all possible assistance towards the elimination of tho divo, becauso tho personnel of that association s mado up of tho leading business mon of tho state; men who would gladly join any intelligent epoch looking to tho betterment of tho morals of tho community. With n united desire to eliminate tho law less saloon, it but remains to select a remedy. Tho National Model License PITHY PARAGRAPHS III CAPTAIN HMITII.

Whon you havo a box of cigars In tho dresser you smoko moro than whon you buy thorn ono at a tlmo. Ruying a drunk Instead of a drink Is not tomporanco. Getting drunk on four quarts for $3.20 is not tempornnco. Over-lndulgonco in tho Jug from tho cellar is not tompor- nnco. Voting dry for tho other' fol- low, Intending to violato tho law yoursolf, is not tempornnco. If liquor is a qurso to hu manity, buying tho curso from another stato will not lesson Its potency. Prohibition Is a falluro, and n falluro has but llttlo oxcuso for oxlstonco, Tempornnco is commanded by tho Almighty; prohibition by thoso who do not drink themselves, and seek to tako it from others, but tho antl-Baloon leaguer, by fighting tho open saloon, confesses ho docs ' not desiro a euro but merely con- cealment. Temperanco is moderation; prohibition Is fanaticism; tho nbollshmont of tho open saloon Is hypocrisy. Tho advocate of temperanco Is a reformer; tho voter for prohibition a dreamer; tho 4 brainy men of tho anti-saloon league, hypocrites. Prohibition Is a Joke, but Oregon would havo to pay too much for tho laugh. League believes tho solution of tho liquor lies In tho municipalities, adopting ordinances that provido first for tho limitation of tho num ber of saloons to say, ono saloon to overy 500 Inhabitants. (This propor tion to bo subjoct to tho conditions of tho surrounding country), The Idea of tho limitation of tho number of saloons Is not prompted by tho Idea that they aro a necessary evil, but solely In order that each saloon keeper may have sulllclent patronage to bring hlra a' fair return upon his investment without resort to tho salo of adulterated goods, or engaging In tho by-products of crlmo; second, re nowal of llccnso automatically, pro vided tho holdor thereof has not boon twlco convicted of n violation of tho ordinance (Provided jilwayB that Itemises shall bo subject to the vote of tho pooplo against tho salo of liquor In that territory); third, by making It mandatory upon tho power vested with tho punlshmout of viola tors to suspend tho llconso for thirty days upon n first conviction, and to enncol tho llconso of tho violator upon tho second violation; and, pro viding further that tho holder of n llconso so cnncolcd shall bo forover Inollglblo to hold a llconso or ills ponso liquors In that municipality.

Ih Prohibition Tempcniiuc Tho prohibitionist's definition of tomporanco Is not In keoplng with thnt of Noah Wobstor's; but then, tho prohibitionists dlsngroo with ovory thlng that I havo boon taught to bo llovo as true, Tho argument thoy advanco tondB to provo that Christ was mistaken In precopt nnd ox nmplo; that Damo Naturo, by placing alcohol In all growing vegetation, sought to poison mankind; that Georgo Washington and Abraham Llncpln, who woro moderate drink ers, woro on tho way to drunkards' graves. Some Definitions. Temperanco Is moderation. Prohibition Is fanaticism. Tho abolishment of tho open sa loon Is bypocrlcy. Tomporanco Js commanded by tho Almighty. Prohibition' la demanded by thoso who do not drink themselves, so do Biro to dlctato that others shall not. Tho nbollahmont of tho open sa loon Is advocated' by thoso who caro not for tho puro but only for con cealment. Tho Greater Orogon Homo Rulo Association pledges Itself to tho enactmont of municipal laws that will accomplish tho aim of tho Na tional Model Llcenso League, to "tako tho liquor business out of politics and tho law-breaker out of tho liquor business." . And both associations respectfully request that all votors nok them selves tho question la not regula tion that regulates preferable to pro hibition that does not prohibit.
