Ansessor How Anti-Saloon League THIRD Gather closer, children, because I want you to listen closely to how we Outside Agitators of the Anti-Saloon League have lined up Our Fight for tho Oregon Legisla ture. You must keep repenting It in your mind until you fully under stand It that our one Stock In Trade Is Hysteria. That's what caught us with tho PlttBburg Mil lionaires. Dy making people think thnt we wore" Trying to Save Men we could Jam them full of every kind of tommyrot Emotional Stuff Tho Politicians themselves Know that the Great- Majority of Men and Womon of this nation nre Good; that they havo real Heart Chords that respond to Noble Sen timents; thnt no subject excites a Kindlier Sentiment In the Hearts of Men and Women than tho pic tures of other Men nnd Women who have Fallen, nor n moro ln stnutnneous respouso than nu ap peal for tholr uplift. So tho Po lltlclnns told us to bear down more heavily on Hysteria to make the people think wo wore working for Humanity, nnd not for Votes, or for Leglslntures. "Drlng tho tears," wns what our Political In structor kept, omphaslzlng, "tho Peoplo won't reallzo that Its only Pald-for-Actlng." So whon wo camo to Orogon our vory first work was to line up n lot of organizations that are Really working for Human Up lift, Chnrltablo nnd Tempernnco Organizations, and the like. Wo played on tholr Sympathies, asked them If we wero not tholr broth er's Keepers" and didn't forget a few tears. You see If we could Fool Them through tho Tender ness of their- hearts we had n good show to Slip Over a lot ot Members of the Legislature and that, children, Is what yon must (Paid Advertisement Taxpayers: tad Thrift declared thnt he would stand pnt on tho present assessment. .MRS.

The mine Is now running fine nud they aro, getting the best grade of conl that he lmF ever mined In this section. ( MR. MOORE, foimerly a well known Cntchlng Inlet inncher, hut now' residing near Eugene, whore his daughter Is attending tho State University, Is hero looking nftor his property nnd visiting friends. He snys that just as soon as alio completes her courso ho will re turn to tho Dny. LESSON IN PRACTICAL POLITICS not forget that wu Anti-Saloon Leaguers are after. Tho Dest Stroke we huvo done yet in Oregon Is to mnko In our latest Chnrter Member, tho Con victs at the Stuto Prison. You see, chlldron, everyone feels sorry for Convicts, that there were moro Tears that Real Hysteria hanging around tho convicts that any thing we could light on. So wo decided to hook up with tho Con victs by admitting them' to mem bership in "Our Fight" for the Oregon Legislature, You see, chlldron, tho Convict is la'rgoly tlio product" of Dad1, Eugenics and Hygienics, Vicious Parentage, Impoverished Rlrth, Babyhood nnd Childhood Ignor ance, Lack of Employment nnd a Lot of Other Things which never Worry the Anti-Saloon Leagner Dut If we could only get tho Convicts to sny thnt thoy wore behind tho bars becauso of al cohol then we could Inject more Hysteria Into our Work in this way than In any Othor Way. So wo got n fow Renl Chrlstlnn People worked up over tho sub ject and thon wont down to Sa lem to Fix It with tho State Au thorities to make the Convicts lay all tholr troubles onto Al cohol. Children, It was- llko taking candy from babies. Tho poor Convicts wore told that If they Performed Right and put some Tears Into It, they would Stand In with tho Prison Officials nnd mnybo would get their Freedom. You may not know, children, whnt the word Freedom sounds like to' a Convict. If ho would sandbag a lone wayfarer for a little silver or rob some widows and orphans of their last cent to buy auto mobiles for show, he would sign Register And Vote 333 X NO. Wage Earners' League of Orgon, I AMONG THE SICK Mrs. Smith, of Coos River, who wns accidentally shot in tho foot uy the disciinrgo of an "unloaded" shot gun which her husband wns cleaning, Is recovering very nicely. Hnd it not been for tho partition through which tho chnrgo first pnaa ed, It Is believed that tho accident would htivo been much nioro sorlous. Only two Bhots entered Mrs. Smith's foot. Peter .Jordan, who had his foot crushed to a pulp In his gasoline motor on North Inlet a few days ago, was removed to Muiey Hospital yes terday for treatment. Mrs. E. M, Erlckson was taken suddenly 111 this niornliy; and Is now confined to her homo under tho doc tor's care. Claudo Hockett, of Empire, who is Buffering from throat trouble, Is re ported much better today. Frank Roso, who hns neon 111 of pneumonia nt Mercy Hospital, has recovered sufficiently to lenvo tho hospltnt and will return to the Row land Creek camp near Myrtle Point In a few days. Increases Its Membership a Quitclaim Deed to his Soul to get that Freedom. Hu would even go further, Maybe, than we Flold Agitators. When tho Convicts wero told that all they had to do was to lay their imprisonment onto al cohol they wouldn't get tholr names down fast enough. They Performed so splendidly that wo recognized them ns True Drothers of our kind, fit to rank with the Pittsburg Millionaire and us Field Agitators as Charter.. Members of the Anti-Saloon League, nnd thoy wero Uanlmously Admitted on tho . Spot-,, Dy thinking tho Thing nil over between now nnd our next les son you will see, children, that It Isn't Truo Tempornnco wo are after, nor even Prohibition'; but Its votes w.0 want to Get tho Leg islature. Wo never can get the votos by talking Temperance, so wo have to resort to Deceit, Ex aggeration and Falsehood, That's what tho Pittsburg Politicians told us, . "Never mind what you toll tho People," they said, "so long ns you can put a lump In tho Peo ple's Throat. Don't appeal to tholr Reason, becauso you may get tho Peoplo to thinking nbout Practical Politics?- If you can put n Dig Enough Lump In the Throat it may not diasolvo until after election day and that's all wo want. Wo maybe will havo tho Legislature. Thoy'll havo lots of tlmo to dissolve tho lump when their taxes begin coming in, whon peoplo begin moving out of the stnto, when thousands of men and wohien, Including themselves maybe, have lost their JoJjs, whon values begin decreasing, whon in comes begin reducing, when hun dreds of stores become vacant and Portland, Ore.) ,. .! ..- - T0 Al "01.1.1!, Thursday nlght,8nt, held . ,, wlllb0nmdegtes1cn,JCnn4i!! endorsement of pJJ? a.n-Mir nemocrallc 7.U !$ ".
