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.
