Good roads are a prime feature In

with It.. Nor have the a.-iultly can

known, and apparently have deliber

this matter or endeavored to leave
the Impression that it la In the pow
erer of the county board of equali
zation to raise or lower the railroad
assessment at will, but which, In
fact, they cannot do. Will the hon
est voters be fooled by an outfit
which will not publish the facts
about the public business of the
county, even when an oftlrlal state

"Pay DIHy" and the Oily News nre
apparently much disturbed because
The Review does not publish n cer
tain letter about railroad assessments
which they allege waa written by
Judge Wonacott and published In
this paper, two years ago. The answer
Ib easy. Judge Wonncott never
wrote such a letter nor waa it ever
published In The Review. Our files are
open for- the Inspection of unvone
who doubts this. "Pay Hilly," In his
anxlouH efforts In behalf of the as
spmblyltes, la badly mistaken In this
matter und the Oily News is slmpiy
Ivlng as uual.
In keeping with Its policy of false
hood and deceit, the Oily New. keeps
casting insinuations about flu Iden
tity of "South Douglas Republican,"
who has had two letters in The Re
view commendatory of .ludg? Wona
cott. They very well kiim' "ho
"South Douglas Republican" Is. for
the first letter referred !o waa first
sent to them and they refused to pub
lish it. Since then they also refused
to publish an official statement of
the public business or the county,
tin is proving conclusively that they
will not allow their readers to know
the real facts,' If they can help it,
about the public- business of Doug
las county.. Yet they are constantly
beseeching the voters to support as
semblylsm.And the assembly candi
dates evidently endorse such deceit
ful methods, as they urn having that
disreputable sheet sent to every voter
In the county during the last week of
the campaign. It might be expected,
however, that a bunch of candidates
selected In a secret caucus would not
want the real status of the public
business to be known, and the deceit
ful methods of the OHy News seem
to harmonize well with their views.
The Review has published those
facts from the county records, in
cluding the facts about the railroad
assessments, but the Oily News has
not. Furthermore, the assembly or
gan has not and will not publish the
fact thai the rail road assessment

To the Kill tor or The Review:
At the coming election the voters
of Douglas County have three Impor
tant measures to vote on that mean
a great deal for the future prosper
ity and moral standing of the county.
First, the Home Rule measure
should be defeated for the reusou
that it wishes to protect the licensed
saloon, which is directly responsible
for over half of the crime and law
lessness that Is committed In every
community in which they are al
lowed to exist. .
Second, the county division meas
ures should be kilted for the reason
that county division will benefit only
a few und means heavier taxation for
all. .
Third, every man who believes In
an honest, economical county gov
ernment should vote for G. W. Won
acott for County Judge. As our
present judge he Is endeavoring to
safeguard und put the county finan
ces on a sound basis. He Is also pro
gressive, and the cnmputKU or good
road building and Improvement that
he has encouraged mid aided during
his administration will be a great
help for the commercial and farming
interests of the county. More good
roads have been built In the Cow
creek valley during the last two
vears than ever before, and the same
can be said of a great many other
road districts In the county... If the
American people are to experience
the peace and prosperity that they
should they have got to put Into of
fice men who will carry on the busi
ness of government In an honest, eco
nomical and progressive manner.
Such a tnnn Judge Wonacott has
proven himself to be and he should
ho re-elected.

put it up to him the precise question
as to whetXer the town would be ex
empt from the Constitution and crim
inal laws us to the llqiiier truffle. No
! one has ever contended that under
Home Rule ;the towns would be ex
empt from the criminal laws as to
murder, arson, burglary, etc., but sim
ply as to the liquor traffic. If the
"Home Rule" scheme would not ex
empt the towns from the criminal
luws of the slate as regards the lbiuor
truffle, then It would not exempt
them from the operation of the Local
Option laws, because the Local Option
Law is one of the Criminal Laws. And
If the "Home Rule" scheme would
not exempt the towns from the oper
ation or the Local Option law and
permit towns in a "dry" county to go
"wet", then we may rest assured that
this trreat "Home Rule" scheme
would never have seeu the light of
day.

I Prohibition is in successful opera
tion In nine states of the American
Minion und In a large part of many
other states, so about seventy per
i cent of our National Territory Is now
I "dry". All talk that, prohibition is
a failure has been answered time and
again, and In these Inst days of the
campaign It Is not necessary , to go
into den lis. The question may be
again asked, however. If prohibition
Is a failure In Maine, where it has
been tried for fifty years, and In
Kansas, where it has been tried for
thirty years, why don't the Intelligent
lieople of those states rise up and
strike It down? Of course, some peo
ple (Halm that hecuuse the Democrats
recently succeeded in Maine that the
time is coming when Maine will vote
to strike prohibition from the Consti
tption. Hut this is a false representa
tion of the condition In Maine. Maine
went Democratic not because she Is
against prohibition, but for purely
political reasons, as has been ex
plained time and again through the
public press. No human law is per
fect, and no one claims that prohibi
tion Is perfect, hut It Is undoubtedly
true that prohibition at its worst is
far superior to the license system at
its best. Anyone who doubts this
needs only to compare conditions that
now exist, under prohibition. In Ku
gene, Roseburg, Albany, Corva lls.
McMlnvlllo and Ashland wth those
that exist in linker City. Astoria and
other "wet" towns of the state, to
say nothing of the appalling .'tare of
affairs which we know through the
Oregonian exists In the City of Port
land. It Is claimed that Home Rule saves
money for the farmer, because under
"Home Rule" men who U liquor
unlawfully would be punished In City
Courts. This is dodging the question.
What the prohibitionists claim is that
liquor is largely responsible for the
crime of the country, and under the
"Home Rule" scheme those who lom
mit highway robbery, burglary, mur
der, theft, and all sorts of crimes be
cause of the use of intoxicating liquor
will he prosecuted not at the expend
o the town wb-n the liquor Is sold
but at the expense of the taxpayer at
large. Competent authorities have
estimated that intoxicating liquor Is
responsible for over fifty, and even
ninety, per cent, of the crime of the
country. The matter of prosecuting
those who sell liquor unlawfully un
der a license system Is insignificant In
comparison with the great mass of
work require! of our courts to prose
cute crimes committed not merely by
1 hose who sell but by those who
drink liquor.

liquor merchants are getting rich

jr sidling Intoxicating lbiuor will nut
ii ..nd examination, and It has been
thoroughly exploded. The only ques
. tun Is whether the manufacture and
sale of such liquor Is beneficial or
harmful.. If It is harmful, the gov-
nmeut has a perfect right to strike
down. This has been decided
many times bv the Supreme Courts
of various slates and also by the
Supreme Court of the United States.
No f u rt her a rgu meat ought to be
necessary. No man has a right to
-my that he 'has any personal liberty
'o maintain, for example, a foul cess-
iohI on bis premises which injures
i ud offends his neighbor. The laws
in ii Kt be made to promote the welfare
f society and the. greatest good of
he Keen test number. When the ma
jority of the people In a town or pre
cinct, or county, or state, decide that
the liquor business ought to be pro-
ihited. It Is perfectly legitimate und
right that this should be done. There
nothing In the Constitution 'of the
I'nlted States, or In the unwritten
rlnclples of human liberty which
nrevent. The very foundation ol our
republican form of government in
that the majority shall rule.
To show the loose reasoning of
hose who are crying that prohibition
s against personal llhertv, but also
n favor of the so-called "Home RuIp"
scheme. It is only necessary to note
that they say that under their scheme
aeh town can by vote settle the
liquor nuestlon for Itself. If there Is
mvthlng In the personal liberty ar-
unient, what right has the majority shipping whisky into ' dry" territory.

thing at all. would condemn "Home

II would be nu Infringement of per--oual

them to do so. And of course when

personal liberty argument is ns fatal
to the "Home Rule" scheme as to

is nothing In the personal liberty ar-

this as well as other people.
The "Home Rulers" are trying to

If this is the case, it Is strange that
these same Portland merchants are
now pouring out their money to help
make nil "dry" territory "wet". The
fact is. they do ship liquor into "dry"
territory and thus they violate the
right of the people In "dry" territory
to have real "Home Rule". Hut ev
erybody knows and especially these
liquor dealers themselves, that the
quantity shipped Into territory where
prohibition Is in force Is small com
pared with what Is shipped when li
censed saloons are In operation.
We are advised to stop sending
money away by mail for drink, as
though money spent over the licensed
saloon bar would be kept In Doug

The Home Rulers had a meeting in
Portland the other day at which they
adopted some high-sounding resolu
tions as to the regulation of saUoi:d,
and they are out with the statement
that after election they are going to
call a meeting of mayors to adopt a
model license system and clean up the
liquor business. But did anybody
ever hear of any of these ' Home
Rulers" until the campaign for state
wide prohibition came on? There
has heen plenty of wet terriory in
Oregon for them to have cleaned up.
Have they been at work at it? Not
on you r II fe ! " h y haven t t hey
cleaned up the wet counties and the
saloon business in Raker City, Salem,
Medford. Astoria and Portland, and
the "fostering dives" on Burnslde
street, Portland, to which the Orego
inii has more thnn once referred as
sufficient of themselves to account
for the prohibition wave? Why are
not these great "Home Rule" reform
ers at work In these wet localities
now Instead of waiting until after
election? Why. gentle reader, sim
ply because they are not sincere, but
the liquor business, masquerading as
Home Rule, is simply out to defeat
prohibition by any and every trick,
device and subterfuge that human in
genuity can invent. After election
we shall hear nothing more of this
"clean-up" or "model license"
scheme. ,
