Can Vote State Dry, But Not People, Says Darrow PROHIBITION NO SOLUTION Wealthy Class Cannot be Derived ol LIqaor Declares Poverty is Dne to. Monopolies An audience that filled every seat and much of the standing room In the Roseburg armory on Thursday night listened to Clarence Darrow, the no ted Chicago lawyer and political econ omist, who spoke on "The Liberties of man and the wrong of prohibition," under the auspices of the Greater Oregon Home Rule Association. Though his language waB less pol ished, and having less pretension to eloquence, Mr. Darrow's discouurse was as well received as the speech de livered here two weks ago by his fellow campaigner, David S. Rose. His manner of talking was that which befitted him n a lawyer a lawyer stating his case to a jury In a clear, dispassionate, logical way. Mr. Har row was introduced by President Mc Fadden of the local federated trades unions. At times there were outcropping of Socialistic principles In Mr. nar row's remarks. This was particularly noticeable when he denounced the claim of the prohibitionists that drink was chiefly responsible for most of the poverty, crime and insanity. He declared that predatory corpora tions and commercial monopolies were responsible for nearly all hu man misery, either directly or Indl rectly.and when he asserted that these agencies would have to be first de stroyed bef'Jfo social conditions could be Improved he was greeted with the greatest qjitburst of applause of the evening. Only once did the speaker soar up Into the realm of oratory, and then when he asserted that the prohibi tionists' lobbies in 1 glslntureB and In congress had done nothing to as sist labor legislation. It simply gave Darrow a chance to get into his ele ment. Dramatically he told the fight labor lobbyists had made in legisla tive bodies for legislation for safety appliances on the railroads and other remedial laws and reached a climax by Baying: "While these little lobbies were working In Washington and in the capital of every state, pleading for father and mother and wife and the little children, supported by the mea ger contributions sent from home, never once did a committee of prohi bitionists raise a voice in behalf of the working man. But over In the other corner, in a dark corner, could be heard a hoarse voice whispering. 'Compromise on anything, no matter what it is, but give ub prohibition.' " Blue Ijiws Criticised. "The prohibitionist does not be lieve In allowing man any of the plea sures of life," continued Darrow. "He does not believe in allowing a game nf hnaahnll nn SlintlnV hft ftnen not Ml believe In playing cards, he does not u believe in theaters being open on j Sunday, he does not believe In going to a picnic on Sunday, he does not be- iA lleve In giving us the pleasures that 0 make lire worth living, wnat wouia 1 he leave us? Not one In a thousand of i mem oeiicve in giving us anyuiuig 1 that affords pleasure. Do they really i believe in anvthine?" iKstate May Go Dry, But Not People. "You are going to be called upon to vote the state 'dry.' You can prob ; ; ably vote the state 'dry,' but can you I ; vote the people 'dry'? Somehow the f 'Lord when he fashioned the universe and created man didn't understand I the job as well as the prohibitionists X, understand It and he left mankind to ' .'stumble along and do he best he can. t, If the Lord had been given the ad Ayers Cherry Pectoral Doctors Commercial Abstract Co. ' Abstracts of Titles Bine Prints Films Papers, tic WE WILL CO If XwOTenc tAam matt, rohkbur.c, omgon vice of the prohibitionists It would have been much easier and saved us a lot of trouble. Thera wouldn't have been any wickedness In the world excepting prohibition. If any thing went wrong all that would be needed would be to make another law and then you would make people right. If men drank too much make a law and then men won't drink too much. If they ate too much, make a law and then they won't eat too much. If they don't go to church make a law and then they will fill the churches. If they don't go to the right church make a law and head them in the direction of the right church, if a boy wants to have any fun on Sunday, or a man who works hard all the week wantB to go to a picnic on Sunday make a law; then he won't go to the picnic, but will go to church. "I don't believe in prohibition, but I am not a fanatic. If I had a chance to make the law I wouldn't compel a prohibitionist to drink a pint of beer every morning before breakfast. I thfcnk that would be carrying it too far, and 1 wouldn't pass a law to make him pour down his throat a glass of whisky against his will. Beer and High Prices. "A man who talks to the poor man about getting rich by not drinking beer Is Insulting the poor man's in telligence, and he never read or studied anything himself In his life or be would have seen It. Now, the poor people, we will say, spend mon ey for beer. Very few of them would spend one-tenth part of their wages for beer, but suppose they spend one- sixth or one-flfth. The food bill is a big bill, and I will undertake to say, as poor as the poor man is, there isn't one of them that doesn't waste three- fourths of the money he spends for food. So far as health and strength and ability to work are concerned, you waste three-fourths of the mon ey you spend for food. 'Load your stomach up with pie and cake and liver and tea and coffee and see what is going to happen to you. You are shortening your life, and you only eat because It tastes good going down. You don t need butter on your bread: your ancestors didn't have it and your children wont have It either If you follow the prohi bitionists in their theories. You waste money on your clothes; you don't need collars and neckties; they are purely ornamental. Women don t need furs and feathers and silks. They are ornamental. You can live in a cheaper house, you can save three fourths of your money. Suppose you cut out meat and save half of your food bill. IjilH'rty lndN to Progress. "There is one rule of life. If you give men opportunity, give them food and clothing and drink and sunlight and homes, they can look after their own morals, and they can't do it any other way. The whole theory of pro hibition is wrong. If they get one thing they will want another. Today it Ib rum. Tomorrow it will be to bacco; next day it will be coffee. The theory Is wrong; man can only pro gress by liberty. It has been a long and painful battle that the human race has fought. Every step has been inspired with the spirit of liberty. Take the Ideal and dream of freedom from the human race and slowly and painfully it will go back to the brute creation from whence It cume." DARROW DECLINES DEBATE. PORTLAND. Ore.. Oct. 21. Clar ence Darrow of Chicago, Is the last speaker of the Greater Oregon Home Rule Association to receive a chal lenge to debate the prohibition ques tion. The challenge was made by J. P. Newell of the Prohibitionists, on behalf of Mrs. Mary Harris Armor, of Georgia. Mr. Newell's letter reads. "Mrs. Mary Harris Armor of Geor gia will deliver an address at the White Temple Sunday, October 23, at 3 p. m. in favor of prohibition. We would be very glad to have her divide the time with you at that meet ing. If you do not feel disposed to discuss this question with her, we would be pleased to have you pres ent In the audience and hear what this wonderful woman from Georgia hus to say upon this question." Mr. Darrow replied: "Your kind letter Inviting mo to hear Mrs. Armor Is received. 1 am leaving Oregon Saturday evening, and ON YOU1 BOND Coavayanctag for that reason will not be able to accept the Invitation. "if I were to be here I would pre fer not to debate with Mrs. Armor, but I would certainly be glad to go and hear her. I have heard much of her ability and hope she will have a good audience, as no doubt she will. The important thing to my mind, in all these questions, is full and free discussion." - JlTDGE JOHN 8.

His family believes he was tains, While the law does not expressly state that one of the candidates shall be elected from Coos or Curry Coun ty, yet It Is fair to assume that the spirit of the law contemplates that one of the Judges elected shall, at the time of his election, be a resident of Coos or Curry County. It is fair to the people of Coos and Curry County to elect one of their residents as Judge. When the Legislature enacted the law creating the third judgeship of the Second Judicial District, the Gov ernor of Oregon selected a resident of Coos county for the appointment. He appointed Hon. John S. Coke, who had been a resident of Coos county for more than thirty years; a law yer who had practised his profession within the bounds of Coos county for nearly twenty years. After Judge Coke had been tried out as (jircuii Judge, following his appointment in February, 1909, the people of coos and Curry counties, by an overwhelm ing vote In the primary election, ex pressed a wish that Judge John S. Coke be elected as the Judge to reside In Coos or Curry co.inty. The wishes of the people of the Coast counties should be respected. Personally, I have known Judge Coke for seven teen years, and know him to be a man of integrity, ability, learning, and he will make one of the best Judges that ever presided in a Court of Justice within the state ot uregon. The people who know him best ad mire him the nioBt. You have a right to vote for two judges at the coming November election an.1 one of your voteB should be cast tor Coke. Yours very truly, GEO. M.

The mnjorlty of Porto Itlcnns have Instilled in them from earllet Infancy superstitious dreud ot the full uiuuu rays," said a business nutu wbo bus just returned from that country. "It is a curious sight to the American visitor to note men and women going along the streets and highways of the Island with umbrellas raised over their heads in the lone watches of tho night, end the more brilliantly the moon is shining the greater will be the number of people who are thus protecting themselves from her beams. Out in the sequestered rural districts a gay mounted cavalier will be met at mid night, his bridle rein In one band and an upraised umbrella in tho other. It looks weird and also ridiculous, but the natives do It for a peculiar reason. They are possessed of the conviction that Luna'a full light striking upon mortals Is almost sure to make them mentally unsound that la to say, lu naticsand that Is why they Interpose a shield between them and her dazzling brightness. "To sleep where the moon could shine full upon one Is, in the view of a Porto Rican, to tempt fato, and it would be a daring one who could be hired to do It for any consideration."

As for industrious idleness, which la held to blame for the wrecking of our nervous systems, it was not unknown to an earlier generation. Mine, lo Bran assures ub that In her youth pleasure loving pcoplo would leave Brussels early In the morning, travel 11 day to Paris to hoar the opera and travel all night home. "That," she observes aa well she may "was con sidered being fond of the opera." A paragraph In one of Horace Wal pole's letters gives us the record of a day and a night In the life of an English lady sixteen hours of "strain' which would put New York to the blush. "I heard the Duchess of Oor don's journal of last Monday," he writes to Miss Berry in the spring of 17111. "She first went to hear Uandel'a music In the abbey; she then clamber ed over the benches and went to IlaBt- Ing'a trial in the hall, after dinner to the play, then to Lady Lucen's assem bly, after that to Ranelagh and return ed to Mrs. Hobert's faro table; gave a ball herself In tho evening of that morning, Into which she must have got a good way, and set out for Scotland the next day.
