TO AMEND LOCAL OPTION LAW An initiative petition has been prepared by attorneys acting for the Brewers' and Wholesale Liquor Dealers' Association of Portland, providing for submission to the voters of the state at the general election in June of next year an amendment to the present local option law, and the circula tion of the petition for signatures began today. The present local option law, which was placed on the statue book by the Legislature of 1904. is in the belief of the Brewers' and wholesale Liquor Dealers' Association an unfair measure, both to people and to the liquor trade of the state. The taw provides that a petition signed by 1 0 per cent of the voters of any coun ty or precinct can call an election to de termine whether the sale of liquors shall be prohibited there. ': The liquor men hold that this is prac tically a prohibition law, as the anti-sa loon people would never have any trouble in obtaining the necessary 10 per cent of the voters to such petitions, for elections every year if they desired. They declare that no man can afford to open a whole sale liquor house or brewery if there Is a chance that he miy nave to put up a fight at the polls every June. The proposed law stipulates that 50 per cent of the qualified electors of any 'precinct in the state shall be necessary for the calling of an election to determine whether the sale of liquors shall be pro- law also provides that at any time after two years from the date of an election held under the provisions of the statue, but not before, another election may ba petitioned for. These are the principal provisions of the proposed law, and the merely amend the statue as it now stands AMUSEMENTS A NEW PLAY COMINO In "A Jolly American Tramp ." E. E- Kidder's well known play, the man who wrote "A Poor Relation" for Sol Smith Russell, solves a problem that has vexed the rural communities for years. In it Mr. Kidder attempts to show that with kindness, a just appreciation of man, even if in rags, and the consequent respecting of his rights will compel even the most confirmed hobo to think he is on this earth for a puprose. " In this play the author promises a new and rather novel motive, that of a rascally husband Insur ing the life of his wife, then stupifying her with drugs, hiding her in an attic of a deserted (and supposed to be haunted) house, substituting another body for hers and collecting the insurance thereon. Through the medium f an ordinary tramp the wronged wife i'v liberated and rer stored to rights that had' been wrested from her, and the guilty punished. There is said to be a happy blending of pathos and wit in "A .'oily American Tramp." The cast contains the names of such well and favorably known players as Clark Ross, who plays "Happy Jack," the tramp; Berline Farns worth, the dainty little soubrette star; Cora Lee Jefferson, the well known comic opera proma donna, late of the Castle Square company; Vir ginia Melville, a clever character Irish woman, and in fact every part is in the hands of a competent person. 'The play will be strong in musical and vaudeville numbers. ' Steward's Opera House. Fri day, Dec. I.

Croften, manager of the Brewers' and Wholesale Liquor Dealers' Associa tion, this morning made the following statement relative to the measure pro-. posed: OUTLINE OF LAW WANTED The new law gives both sides exactly the same show. That is the principal difference between it and the old law, which was passed by a well-remembered scheme of a few members of the AnU Saloon League. The old law allowed the Prohibitionists many privileges which it denies to the liquor merchants. "The amended local option law is a straight precinct local option law. Any precinct in the state can vote on the sub ject at any general election. That seems fair. The amended law, however, pro hibits the grouping of several "dry" pre cincts with . one 'wet' oni. thus forcing prohibition on people who actu illy voted against it. There was no local option or choice in this, but the old Iniquitous law allowed it The amendment also raises the num ber of votes necessary to call an election from- 10 to SO per cent It seems scarcely fair that a community should ba saddled with the expense and turmoil of an election and that the liquor merchants should have to get out and fight for their existence unless at least two-thirds of the voters demand it" The distribution of the petition for sig' Royal Arch of the city, a fraternal and benevolent organization composed princi pally of liquor and cigar men, to whose membership men identified with allied trades, juch as ice dealers, soda water men, etc, are eligible. Portland Tele gram. lerrif'C RacevWith Death. 'Death was fast' approaching." writes Ralph F. Fernandez, of Tampa, Fla- de scribing his fearful race with death, "as a result of liver trouble and heart dis ease, which had robbed me of sleep and of all interest in life. I had tried many dif ferent doctors and several medicines, but got no benefit until I began to use Elec tric Bitters. So wonderful was their ef fect that in three days I felt like a new man. and today I am cured of alt my troubles." Guaranteed at Newlin s Drug store;price SOc. .
