A Number of Roseburg's Citizens Are Preparing to Have Their Teeth Sharpened.
Four months ago, the same citizens offered to eat their hats when th?. bridge was bui!t. Of course we never expected to open a field to Dentists and Hatters in
Roseburg, but remember: EVERY NEW INDUSTRY BUILDS SOME OTHER.
We will offer special inducements to people who will want to build Uvs fall, and the beautifully situated Waterfront, Park and bathing, will make the
Townsite, the Ideal Residence District for Roseburg in the coming years. V.hsn you invest in Real Estate, look forward one or two years, and you will be the
winner, because, inside of a short time Roseburg will find there is no plac I r Sunday Rest or Recreation around the city except

As to handling the question at is

was that Dr. Wilson made' the best
presentation of the subject.
Mr. Ilofer salcl in part:
We are at present living In Ore
gnu under a very "tringent local op-1 morals or our home and our rnm
tlon law. The local option law was j inanity, we ought not. to fetter it
devised and prepared and drawn up wiih any higher license or any more
and submitted to the people of this i r( sfrletlouft. we ought, to take our
slate by the so-called Anti-S iloon : '"'"Is off It. It Is as legitimate as the

ine m our country are now livlnsr

In reply Dr. Wilson said: "I am
here tonight to say that if the saloon
is right, if It is a legitimate business.
If it promotes tho health, peace and
homos into hovels of drunkenness
and Plights the very face of woman
hood Into wrinkled drunkard's wives,
if it stands in wait to debauch tho
children of our homes and our pub
lie schools, it is time that the decent
citizens of Oregon rose in tho mni-Mtv
of Ameriejni manhood nnd said, "Tho '
saioon shall no longer befoul our
people; it has got to go." ( Pro- '
longed applause). ;
"The life Insurance companies j
have said that, the liquor business is,
detrimental to the health, anil they,
won't insure men who df'nk it at .
all. The railroad companies say that
th" safety of tho traveling public Is
et stake, nnd they won't employ a j
mm who over frequents a saloon or
tonehes liquor in any form. The

indications of tho forces that are

the instigator of tho lawuossness is
the organized brewers and wholesale

( Applause l.
In closing his side of the question.
Col. ilofer said: "1 want to point out
the fact that in recent elections in
this state, for instance. In the city of
Host burg, there was a so-called dry
ticket put up. candidates for mayor
and all city officers and aldermen,
and I know they must have been good
men and pure men, because they
were nominated in a convention held
in the Methodist church, were all de
feated , and Kosoburg deliberately,
after being dry for two or three
years, voted wet.
"To amend the constitution, mak
ing the state legally dry would create
a kind of drinking aristocracy. I
want, to say to you. friends, that
there are. clubs and lodges in this
state so powerful t hat even in the
dry counties thev absolutely disre
gard tho law. nnd they create them
selves an aristocracy where the
wealthy and tho favored and tho men
who are in tho high circles socialh.
have i heir liquors In the rluh and
keep their liquors and en.ipy them
there, and the poorer class of peo
ple, tho laboring class, if you please,
are to tie shut on t for their own
benefit. I say to you that this is un

"You may speak of t he laboring
man and the poor man, you may
speak of hts ignorance mid of his
depravity, and you may speak of his
drunkenness, but I want to say to
yon that the humblest laboring man
in this country has got ns much right
to drink a glass of beer, or wine or
whisky, if he sees fit. and Is able to
pay for it. as the richest man or the
most favored social aristocrat of any
community. (Applause ) . I say to
'you this Is a democratic country, nnd
,any system Ijint. tends to build up aj
j drinking aristocracy is not worthy
of tho support of an American citi
, zen. ( Applause I .
! "And you talk about loca' option,
and county option and city option
i and state option and national option!
! Why, that gives the whole thing
(away, .lust as today your dry coun
! ties are being supplied with liquor
from tho wet counties, just so surens
I you carry this state, tho brewers In
; this state will move just over the
line and they will ship more beer in
here than they over it before, and
; their wagons will be peddling It at
! every door, nnd that Is what they
J will be doing, and then you will
have National option; wo will carry
j the whole nation; wo will make the
'whole nation dry. Why. they could
bo shipping In from over In Canada
and from every country in Kurope.
Tbe way to got real option is to close
the little saloon right under your
own nose. That is the way fo get
the benefit of reform. You are try
lug to do something by law, you are
trying to compel people by force of
local surroundings and network to
bo something which they an? not,
and I say you are proceeding on the
wrong lino."

serving a life term for second degree
murder. He has long been considered
by officers one of the most desperate
men In the penitentiary. He was
serving his second term, being sent
to tho prison the first time in tho
'80s for highway robbery.
His last crime resulted from a
quarrel In which his younger brother
became implicated with a third man
in Southern Oregon. At the time
Frank Wade was In Eastern Oregon,
but when he heard of the quarrel
traveled across the state to Jackson
county, nnd with his brother came
upon their victim In the road and
shot him down.

the younger man being released after

officers he may do somo serious
damage If he Is not speedily apprehended.
