E. A, Farrlngton being first duly
sworn, says: (-
I am and since the 9th day of March
1905, have been city marshal of the
city of Eugene, Lane county, Oregon.
That prior to the first of July, 1906,
the sale of Intoxicating liquors was li
censed In said city, and since that date
there has been prohibition tder lo
cal option.
I am told that more arrests for
drunkenness have been made since lo
cal option went Into effect in Lane
county that formerly. Is being used as
an argument that thcTe Is more liquor
sold and more Intoxication In the city
than formerly. As a matter of fact, I
am sure that in comparison with for
mer times, there has been, under lo
cal option, very little liquor sold with
in the city of Eugene, and there has
been very much less intoxication than
before. . j
The records show 70 arrests for

nndtr local option and It must be un
derstood that now, whenever a person
Is arrested for being Intoxicated he Is
formally complained of and his case
Comes a matter of record, whereas un
der license very few of those arrested
for intoxlratlon, were ever tried for
that offense, simply being turned loose
the following morning. 1 distinctly
recollect that upon one occasion, un
der license, 13 men were turned loose
the morning following the day of ar
rest for drunkenness. Today, Eugene
is one of the most orderly and law-
abiding places in the country.

Victories for Temperance.
America is now more than half free
from the open saloon. Large sections
of Canada, England, Scotland, Nor
way, Sweden and Austria are free. New
Zealand expects to reach complete
prohibition in 1908. Georgia, and Ok
lahoma. August 1, 1907, adopted state
prohibition.
Thut prohibition is practical tor
large cities has been proven by prohi
bition in San Francisco, police figures-
showing a total of 837 arrests In the
city for the two prohibition months of
May and June, 1906, as compared with
4 arrests for the two following-
months of high license. The Portland
Oregonlnn, although strongly" anti
prohibition, editorially declares that it
has been proved beyond the slightest
possibility of doubt that a large city
like San Francisco can thrive without
the liquor traffic."
A still more striking Illustration Ir
that of Kansas City, Kan. The stati
law had never been honestly enforced
until recently when rising public sen
timent ousted the law-defying mayor
and through Attorney Trlckett closed
permanently every one of the nearly
200 wide-open Joints, with the. result
of Increased prosperity for banker;
and real estate' men, and an almost
complete suspension of crime and law
lessness. The oft-reiterated question, "V:!:
prohibition work In great cities?" h it
now been answered for nil time In the
affirmative, and proven beyond doub:
by the examples of these two cities.
But Sun Francisco and Kansas t'lly
ftro only representative of a long am"
growing list of similar cases, amour:
them, being Cambridge, Qulney and n
dozen other cities of Massachusetts:
Colorado Springs, Col.; Evanstort, III.;
Fargo and Grand Forks, N. D.; To
peka, Kan.; Portland, Me. (under
Sheriffs Pearson and Dunn), and a
large number of other municipalities.

by 1929 majority In the largest vole
ever polled; Burlington, VI.. (20,000

by over 1000 majority. '
Not only from all parts of America.
but also from every kingdom of Eur- j
one and from Asia. Australia, Africa
and South America, comes the news of
ipowlng popular agitation and biit'b
against legalized vice. The represen
tative attendance and successful de
liberations of at least two world con
gress of the alcohol fighters within the
last 12 months one held In America,
the other In Europe have emphasized
the fact that the reform has become
a world movement for civic rlghteous-

The attitude of the dally press Is In
creasingly friendly to the discussion of
temperance progress, and a number of
the dally napei-s have begun to "cut
out' all liquor ads.
The church Is organizing to over
