Tho samo orflccr remarks that at first tho English Indian troops re garded tho Australian troops with contempt and considered It almost undignified to bo asked to fight alongside thorn. "Tho Gurkhaa burked when they wore first put be side us," ho says. "They said that wo were not trained Boldlors and that 11 waB not fair to havo to fight with us.

Now ,79c Next Door to -:-Chandler Hotel PROHIBITIONIST SAYS THAT LAW IS i $ " A leading prohibitionist of the stnto thinks there aro many dofects In the now law. George C. H.-ownell ol Oregon City, for 10 years n lnomber of tho State Sonuto and once candldato for Governor on the prohibition ticket, tore the present prohibition law Into shreds' In a recent speech. Ho BhowecV'to' tho audience tho evils that ho declared will result when tho noV law goes into effect In January. ' ' '.- . Ho started his address by ex plaining the Influences that arc brought to bear both for and against every bill of lmportnnco that comes before tho Legislature, and for and against evory candidate who has strength enough o make him a factor before tho primaries. Works All tho Time. "If I wanted an Important state offlco and had no other object than tho nomination and election, 1 would havo tho Southern Pacific railroad with mo It 1 could got them. 1 would strnddlo and get tho support of tho North rjna of Portland on oiu sldo nnd tho churches on tho other nnd I would not run on a prohibition platfbrm for tho liquor Interests Hght 21 hours of tho day and tho tempor nnco people four hours a month." Sjnipniliy for Drinker. Leading up to the prohibition bill ho explained that his fight was against, tho booze, not tho man; that ho had nothing but oympathy for tho drinker and that as long as law permitted, tho man who operat ed n saloon was no less a man In n legal Bonso than a banker or Jowolor. "Tho drinking of liquor Is either right or wrong. If right, lot us hnvo It; If wrong, then let us abol ish It. Wo can no moro tomporlzo with It than with slavery. It can't be half right and halt wrong." Calls It Half Law. Then ho oponod up on tho pro hibition law. Ho said ho criticized tho tompornnco people who sup ported tho wenk-kncod legislators who ennctod tho halt tompornnco law under which tho public saloon Is closed and private drinking places mado of the homes, nnd he declared tho law will causo moro crimes, moro evil and moro perjury than any statute ovor enacted In Orogon. Drinking In Homes, Under the law ho stated thnt tho drinker can no longor go to tho saloon and do his drinking, but that this class of men thousands of whom will havo liquor as long as tliero Is any possible means of Kottlntr It would now tako tholr liquor to their homes, their two quarts of whiskey or 21 quarts of boor, nnd forco tho saloon associa tions xm tho family. Says Not as Voted. "Tho peoplo of Oregon voted to abolish liquor In Orogon, yet tho Leglslaturo decided thoy only voted to abolish tho huIooiib, and then It provided tho opportunity for every homo In Orogon to procure liquor and have barroom associations. It was damnable nud wicked." 'About Affidavit Then he took up tho session laws and joad Section 12 to tho audience, under which a common carrier might doltvcr liquor made outsldo of Ore gon to any person who wouut sub scribe to the affidavit. Ho road tho affidavit form In which tho con signee swears ho Is 21 years old, not an habitual drunkard, nud that the liquor Is to bo used for SACRA MKNTAL PPRPOSKS ONLY. Law Is UiuiRled. He explained that the newspapers and lawyers hold thnt this buuglo of tho Loglslaturo will not stand because It Is a plain bungle. "I havo boon a lawyor for !IC years and I think I know Bomethlng about law. As plain as . English words van make tho affidavit, overy person who gets liquor must de clare under oath tho liquor Is for sacramental purposos, Who has tho right to scratch out theso word's. tlio statute requires?

" Should Wnko Up. Mr. Brownell stated that ho was not throwing cold water, but that ho wanted tho people to wake up and solid men to tho Legislature who will keep booze out of tho home. 116 Btated emphatically that hd was absolutely dpposcd to tho maiiufac- turo of liquor anywhere, but that If, as somo contended, that n certain class must Ijavo It, then It would bo far better to permit tho drug stores or tho grocorlcs to sell It In limited quantities and that it bo consumed awny from tlio homo than to force the drinker to buy It In lafgo quantities (which ho would do) and tako tho damnable stuff homo to IiIb family. Hq snld tho confirmed drinker would not drink at home If ho could drink anywhere else. Will bo Low Dives. "There nro In PorUand 1211 rod light houses in tho North End.

When tholaw goes Into effect Jan uary 1 theso places will bo tho low est dives In Oregon,, for overy wo man in them can each get hop 21 quarts of- beer a month nnd tho law will bo powerless to stop it being drank.

Tho pollco cannot control prl vato houses. Good for llootlcKKcrn "And tho law will provide a para dlso for tho bootlcggor.

Ho can get others of his kind to do llkowlso; your Shor iff won't bo nblo to Btop him, ho can show tho liquor to tho Shorlff." Ho stated Huttou of tho Anti Saloon Loaguo dcclarc's It would bo unconstitutional to prohibit tho ship ment of liquor Into tho stnto, but ho stated It was fully constitutional to prohibit tho shipping In of opium. Ho declared that tho constitu tional nmondmont tho peoplo voted on Inst Novombor was n self-exer-clslng law, and ho read Section :G to tho peoplo. "Tho peoplo voted It; It Is a , fundamental law forbidding tho , manufacture or Bale of liquor in ! Orogon, and tho minute the votes , woro counted It executed itsolf and ncedod nothing else to mako It work-' nblo." . Ho urged every tompornnco votor to forco candidates for the Loglsla turo next year to pledge themselves i for tho kind of a law tho peoplo portion as' tho women this touitr, voieu lor, nnu no declared in pro woro given tho bnllot, tho country would bo wiped off tho U.
