Editor News: Tho Evening News of yesterday contains two communi cations and an excellent editorial commenting thereon, which Btlmulute thought. One of your correspond ents polntB out the Importance of a city park for HoKebnrK, na well aB the advantages of municipal owner ship of tho light and water plant, and the success of the commission form of government in other cities. So far ng the park Is concerned. Itoseburg would do well to take steps to secure one while it Ib still possible to obtain land In a suitable location. Your other correspondent think that tha establishing of a city park and tho boosting of Rose burg through the commercial club and the prohibition of the liquor business are matters that might all be postponed until factories have been provided for the employment of wnrklngmen. Probably none of these matters which your correspon dent considers of secondary impor tance are put forth by their advo cates as panaseaa or curealls. Diff erent people advocate different things for the Improvement of the welfare of the1 community. Each advocate may,, for the time appear to be thoroughly wrapped up In the parti cular movement which he favors. This Is necessary If any good Is to be accomplish! along any line. We all1 agree that 'Jt would be greatly to the advantage of Roseburg If we had factories with substantial pay rolls. But factories are not estab lished tor philanthropic reasons or because of sentiment. It would be no advantage to Roseburg to have a factory launched which could not continue to exist. Many have seen the effects of efforts to establish manufacturing iplnnts n localities 'where the conditions were not fav orable. Reaction and financial lose follow In these canes, and no ono Is permanently benefitted. To Bustnln a factory thoro must bo a largo con suming population In Its Itninedlnln vicinity, or else the conditions for transportaton of the manufactured product must bo such that tho pro duct can bo marketed in other com munities. Hundreds of thousands of dollars have been Invested In man ufncturlng Industries In tho West ' which could not flourish because great transcontinental railroad com panies, which control the transporta tion conditions, prefer to bring man ufactured goods from tho East on i which they can got tho bencllt of the "long haul", rather than to make such reductions' In local rates as will enable local Industries to flourish. So far as tho commercial club shall contribute to the Increase of popula tion in Roseburg and vicinity. It will be doing something to hasten the coming of factories. So long as it shall continue to Interest men of moans and possible railroad build ers in our situation nnd resources, It will be contributing something to hrlng about tho tltno when wo shall havo rollroad connection with the sesbonrd, and across Eastern Oregon to Independent trnns-rnntlnental lines. Tho fact that a man favors fac tories and the Improvement of In dustrial conditions Is no reason why he should desire to see tho establish ment of a city park delayed, nor Is It any reason why he should object to the boosting of the commerrliil club, nor Is It any reason why he should object to th(. prohibition of tho liquor traffic. Ho may have oth er reasons fur opposing nil or any of these things. Whoever has read history nnd re flected thereon must erallre that the story of mankind Is n story of prog-1 rcsa nnd development, nnd of the overcoming of those things hurtful to society nnd tho Individual, llroad ly speaking, those things which man kind have found hurtful may he con sidered as evil, nnd thoso things which mankind has found beneficial may be considered as good. Then Is an Irrepressible conflict between the good nnd tho evil. The most ar dent prohibitionists Tor example, would hardly claim thst his method of dealing with the liquor traffic is a panacea for nil the Ills of human ity. The wlso reformer In every branch of effort realties that there Is a correlation of social reforms and they may well all advance together. Whenever society realliea that alco holic liquor Is detrimental to the In dividual, and socially the source of a great waste of energy, then It must be fipertcd In every healthy social organism that efforts will be made to put down the evil. This is the situation in these days. Common observation, the most skillful and painstaking scientific research, as soclaloglcal statistics demonstrate tho great havoc wrought by alcoholic liquor when ut,ed as a beverage, while at the game time the fact Is establish ed that no ono receives benefit from Buch use. Your correspondent may be personally much attached to his glaKB of beer,' but that Is not of Itself a reason why he should be permitted to purchase It. The question 1b what policy of tho law will contribute best to the general welfare. The liquor question Is rather a social question ! than an Individual question bo far as the law is concerned. Men may think it a hnrdshlp that they are not permitted to buy polBons or handle 'oxplonlves without restriction, but that Is no argument against the in terpolation of the law where tho best Judgment of mankind Is that person al liberty in these respects ought to be restrained for the sake of tho com mon good. Aside from the poverty, misery, crime nnd Insanity known to result from tho use of alcohol, reason forj abolishing the liquor traffic is found I In tile persistent and successful ef- forts made by those engnged In its I manufacture and sale to Influence j nnd dictate governmental affairs soj as to promote selfish Interests at the I expense of public welfare.
