Rose, the distinguished ex-mayor of Milwaukee, Wis., and political economist of national re pute, spoke to a house that was packed to the doors Sunday night at the Medford theater on the "Falla cies of Prohibition." The greater portion of Mayor Rose's life has been given up to the practical side of political economy. For ten years he has been the chief executive of tho city ot Milwaukee, a city that stands absolutely at the forefront of American cities In point of obedience to law, order and moral ity. Tho speaker called attention to the search and seizure clause that is sought to be Injected Into tho con stitution of Oregon, whereby any constable, city marshal or other pro cess server may upon a more suspic ion seize or search the home or ef fects of any citizen for intoxicants. He called attention to the disgrace ful and outrngeous Bcenes that were enacted in Alabama undor a similar enactment when the suit cases and bocKage of respectable women were publicly seized and searched by cheap j and irresponsible minions or tne law. At this point an over-zealous prohi bitionist In tho audience attempted to voice an annroval of tho law, but the big Milwp.ukeoan smothered him I in a storm of scathing oratory tnat mado the zealot hang his head In shame and brought vociferous ap- plauso from tho audience. Mr. U030's speecn in pari ioiiewb: "Tho prohllbtlon question is much too important to be treated from a sontimontal viewpoint. It tot only affects social o-nultlons, but i elates closely to tho industrial, commercial and business interests of tho ration. Tho difficulty Is that too many con fuse prohibition with temperance. That Is to cay, when prohibition is mentioned 'hey begin to think of temperance. It it not that t am op posed to tomperauco that I nm op posed to prohibition, but it is be cause I am I . favor of temperance that I oppoo prohllbtlon. Reasons for OpiM.sltlon. "I am opposed to prohibition for several reasons, which I deem suffi cient. Namol;, first, because pro hibition in Its every relation has proved to havo boen a completo and abject failure That Is to spy, pro hibition has never prohibited. Sec ond, I am opposed to prohlbltlpp be cause it Inspires hypocrisy, engen ders bitterness, ngltateB communities and frequently converts friends Into onoraiOB.

The evening beforo O'Brien apopared in Phoenix and asked for directions as to how to reach tho county hos pital. His condition led tho town marshal to take him In charge- and ho was placed In a room and made as comfortable as possible He re fused to accept anything oltLcr to eat or drink, and claimed to be rest ing easily. Ho was visited at differ ent times during the night by tho marshal and seemed to bo in good shape. This morning, however, he was dead. Coroner Kellogg will hold an In vestigation hero this afternoon. Andrew Mntlierson Saturday clos ed n denl whereby he disposed oC his twenty-ncre orchard tract in the Ross tract two and a half miles west of eMdford to W. C. Haynes of Seat tle for $15,000. The tract is set to three year old apples nnd pears and lies in one of the most desirable orchard sections of the valley. JIr. Haynes has returned to Scnttlo to settle up his business affairs and intends returning here nnd- erecting a modern home on his orchard tract. SUDOELY M sr & on the Fallacies of Prohibition Tells Her Record Is In Regard to Crime and hibltlon because it narrows tho field of labor endeavor. Sixth, I am op posed to prohllbtlon because It strikes at the basic principles of InsV utlons of our free government and des troys tho right of tho Individual to exercise his personal liberty In re spect to his natural rights. It Is an old nnd trlto aylng that experience Is a wise teacher. In tho ordinary affairs of life, cautious men, fair minded men and sucressful men do not hesitate to study the experi ence of others In respect to matters which they tliemsolvon are called upon to decide, and I shall ask you to go with mo through a brief ro vlew of tho history of prohibition In this country, In ordor that wo may determino by tho experience of those who havo tried prohibition whether or not It would bo a good thing for tho state of Oregon. I stated that prohllbtlon has never accomplished tho purposes claimed for It and hoped to bo secured from Its practical application. Lot ub see whethor or not thnt claim may bo sustained by ibo facts. Fifty Yeurs Aro. Fifty years ago In tho decade from I860 to 18C0, 17 of tho American states were under prohibition, name ly: all of fo New England Btates, New York, Now Jersey, Pennsylva nia, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Wiscon sin, Michigan, Virginia : nd North Carolina 'l.id partial prohibition. It Is true that tho prohibitory law of the stato of Wisconsin novor became operative, for tho reason that It was vetced by tho governo", nnd It Is likewise truo that tho prohibitory lawB of tho states of Indlr.na and Illinois were hold to bo unconstitu tional by tho supromo courts of those states. Dut it U further truo tl.nt all of the other states I havo named, nftor having tried prohibition In a practical manucr, nnd In a conscien tious manner, and In an Intelligent manner, abantlonod prohibition ad wont to locr.l option, and, mind you, by the term "locnl option" I. do not mean county option, because there Is a distinction that Is as wldo as the horizons. Tho only exception 'to tho stato mont I havo m:.do, tho only stnto that has rotalned oven tho protonso of prohibition, Is the state of Maine. I proposo to toll you prccholy tho diameter of prohibition tint has maintained In that state, It Is truo that Malrto In hot- constitution pro hibits tho salo and manufacture- of Intoxicating bevornges, but thoro aro exceptions. First, tho constitution of Malno excepts th- manufacture, sale nnd use of cldor, and ovory person who Is at nil ncqunlnted with tho character of Intoxicating hoverages will bear cheerful witness to tho fact that hard cldc Is ono of tho most seductive as woll ns ono of tho most dangerous of our Intoxicants, SMITH OPENS CAMPAIGN M Candidate for Cnnnrcss Wires Clint lengo to W.

The constitution of Maino also ex cepts as well all intoxicants for me chanical, mccMdnal nnd art purposes and clothes tho legislature with the power to enact laws provld'ng for the salo of Intoxicants for those pur poses. Tho leglslaturo of Mnlno en acted such laws and by legislation established what Is known as tho stato liquor agency, and Mr.lno has now and for many years past haB maintained a stnto liquor 'agency, and from this it will bo seen that, notwithstanding thnt prohibition is written in her constitution, Mnine. in fact Is tho most colossal saloonkeeper upon the contlnect. Tho legislature also conferred powor upon tho cities and municipalities of tho stato to es tablish city liquor agonclcs, and ns a result ovory cit In tho stnto of Maino excepting only tho city of Bangor, has Its city liquor agency.

So It miiBt bo 6ccn that tho offortB to enforco prohibitory lawB put forth In so many stntcs of tho federal Union and we must romembor that thoro wero not so many Btates Uton ns wo havo now havo resulted In failure.

Tt Is my prlvllego to ropresont tho Na tional Association of Manufacturers and Dusiness Men In tho cnpaclty of gonoral counsel, and I am familiar with tho work done by that organiza tion.

Destroying Revenue. In support of nnothor proposition ndvunccd, I deal ro to clto tho fnct thnt tho liquor traffic In tho United States Inst yoar paid Into tho federal treasury approximately two hundred millions of dollnrs In revenue. Now tho prohibitionists propose to destroy the business thnt gnvo that vast trcas tiro of rovonuo to tho nation. Whnt do thoy offer as a BiibHtltuto? In whnt innnnor will thoy mako good tho deficit? You know thnt tho government hns only two wources of rovonuo, ono tho Intornnl rovonuo tax. which Is tho tax upon Intoxl cntlng bovorageB, cigars nnd tobne m nn,) unnin citlior llotno. and tho tnrlff tax.

I do not know how much wns paid Into tho treaBiirlos of tho cltloa In tho Btnto of Orogon, but It must havo amounted to n tidy num. You will ngroo, as you must ugreo, that If our cities nro deprived! o fthat rovonuo which thoy hnvo horo toforo enjoyed, only ono of two re sults mny onsuo.
