I.BA8BO WIBB TBLEORAPH REPORT SALEM AS THE MO L MORAL CITY. I Salem is getting a lot of good adverting during the resent prohibition campaign. The most radical advo,cate of Oregon Dry in 1910 ''oes not attack Salem as a moral city. The Georgia whirlwind lady could not get hold of a single, glittering, hard cold fact of crime caused by a Salem saloon. The prohibition parade mana o could not get ragged chil dren to show as the products of the Salem saloons. - Salem has no poor or ragged people caused by saloons. ' Rev .Clarence True Wilson charged that for each of the four teen saloons in Salem (population 18,000) there was a blind pig running loose. But, like some other dry statements, there was no fact to sustain his accusiation. A blind pig is supposed to have a government license, and that can be easily proven from the internal revenue collctor. But no such proof is offered that Salem has a single blind Pis Truth is, there is not an unlicensed, unregulated liquor deal er at Salem, The dry parade could find none of the conditions of vice, crime, poverty or immorality charged up to the liquor traffic generally existing at Salem, If they had they would have paraded those conditions. Would it not have been fair to admit that Salem, as an University city, is a clean, decent sort of place?. Uninformed and reckless prohibition agitators do slander Salem, and represent it as a perfect hell hole of the Rum De mon. A merchant in tho interior of this state listened ot one -of these rampant defamers of our stainless flag and refused to allow his sons to .coruo to school at Salem. There is more drunkenness in his shrimp of a dry town in one week than in Salem in a year. Professors in Willamette University, who are prohibition ists, have manv times admitted to the writer that moral con ditions surrounding young people at Salem were better than at so-called dry college cities, like Eugene and Corvallis. It seems the W, C. T, U. is no longer an organization to create better moral conditions by education. it has become the propagandist of the national Prohibition party. t Frances Willard believed more in Christianity and educa tion than she did in making men good by law. She did not divide up her faith in God and salvation .through Christ with a constitutional amendment to legalize manufacture and sale for medicinal purposes. The salvation of society was to be accomplished through the home, the church and the school house. . That was the faith of Frances E. Willlard, but the organi zation she formed now believes more in a state constabulary than it does in God and the Bible. During the recent state fair there were in one week over 50,000 visitors in Salem, In spite of tho fact that they were about one-half people fiom dry counties, there were only 48 arrests for drunken ness during the state fair week, Not three were Salem men, and three-fourths were from surrounding dry .counties, Now don't say that anyone- can get drunk' at- Salem and not be arrested. The rcgunlr Salem police force arrest a drunken man on sight, no matter who he is. r During the state fair week five special policemen wero em 'ployed, and especially instructed to arrest any person who got drunk, In all that week, with 50,000 visitors in town, the whole police force arrested only 4 drunks, and most of them out side bums, Not as many as Uuno are shooting and cutting affairs in a week in some of tiie largo dry counties of the South, )n tho day that there were tnoio than 5000 German peo ple in the city from all over the state the second day of tho state fair there was not a single arrest of one of them for drunkenness. The Salem system of dealing with the liquor traffic is unique combining regulation and revenue, - 7 ho license is $600 for saloons, $300 for restaurants and $200 for drug stores. There, are 13 saloons, one drug store and one cafe that have licenses from tho city, No more licenses are issued for Iho present. 1 No other government licenses are he'd at Salem, hence there are no speak-easics, blind tigers, dives or blind pigs. A license is revoked permanently upon a second violation, and no liquor business is allowed to be opened in that place again. There are no gamb'ing devices ,back rooms, boxes, danc (,g, music, minors, women, backdoors, side doors, or Sunday business allowod, . There are clear, open windows, with full view of the bar, and you can look off tho sidewalk clear through to tho rear end of the saloon, with no place for drunks to lie down, or loaf or sleep on the premises. 1 "J Salem saloon keepers are neatly all men of families, men of property, responsiblo in a business way. No license is allowed to bo transferred unless the applicant produces documents to show that he has a good . business character, is a man of good habits, and is not a law breaker. Th3 professional prohibition agitator objects to these reg ulations, and wants saloons to be conducted by the worst class possible. ' " He knows that one dive will do more to make sentiment for prohibition than forty well-conducted saloons. The prohibitionist prefers todrive every honest and respon sible man out of the business. He prefers to inaugurate an era of bootleggers and to drive the liquor business into the hands cf a criminal class. 0 KILL THE BIPARTISAN MACHNIE. "The voters of Oregon owe it to themselves to kill off the Bi-Partisan machine in Oregon politics.) That is the most vicious combinat.on in the evolution of politics in any state in the Union. It is an olcf game in New York, where Piatt always had Tammany as a side partner in vicious deals, The state of Oregon has been honeycombed with this bi partisan scheme and every state institution is full of it. Men who have no principles or convictions but who mas as Republicans and Democrats enter into partnership. The partnership is a scheme to divide the spoils and emas culate the voters who are holding positions under the deal. That accounts for Republicans in the State departments in this campaign fighting parts o the ticket, The political gamblers even take into consideration the fatalities that beset the paths of public officials. (The Bipartisan Machine plans to capture the whole state government and put Oregon under the heel of a tammany combination, Voters who want clean progressive government should sup port the Republican nominees of the Direct Primary law, AiraooTLiiriiGemeira av r When we succeeded the Salem Shoe Store the credit accounts were, held by Mr. G.'

RING WORM AMI DANDRUFF Tlicy Are Kurd Cmittcd, by a Pestifer ous Germ. Ring worm nnd dandruff ara somewhat similar In their origin; each Is caused by a parasite. Tito germ that causes dandruff digs to the root of the hair, and saps iti vitality, causing falling hair, and. finally, baldness. Without dandruff there would never bo baldness, and to euro dandruff, It Is necessary to kill the germ. There has been no hulr preparalon that would do this until the discovery of Newbro's Iler- plclde, which positively kills the dandruff germ, allays Itching In stantly nnd makes hair glossy and soft as silk.
