' - - ' "WMIWIUUIW4t.WMUMMWMt W m Cards of thanhs, to a Una, WILL TOWNS SUFFER? The Portland Journul of yesterday handles the prohibition situation In Oregon in an able editorial that teems with truth and common sense. ' The article proceeds to state thut he sa loon men are financial losers, and that It Is unfair for the victors to gloat iover their downfall. ' Assuming a dif ferent viewpoint that of the victors r the Journul says: "But none of them could have been taken wholly unawares. Prohibition has long been "in the air,", and has been moving forward and spreading, and they knew, too, that the will of the majority must rule In this coun try, iml that under the law a majority of any county can make all places In the county dry, even against the will of any one or more precincts, An ar gument against the fairness of this as ' a local option law could be mado, but a goo J argument could also be made on the other side; but arguments are immaterial after the courts have de cided. So there is nothing for the saloon men to do but to yield, and either take up some other occupation or move to some county or state yet wet though at the present rate of prohibition progress they mlxht have to move again before very long. "Dpes prohibition inflict a , severe nd permsnent Injury upon a' town like Pendleton or La Grande? Is whatever Injury' It- does Inflict not more than compensated for In the course of not a very long time? These questions will be differently snswered. and conclusive evidence Is not as eas ily available as champions of one aide or the other assert. Nq one can fig ure out exactly how much the lluor traffic does, at least superficially and within a limited circle to "help busi ness." Put on the other hand nobody can estimate accurately the Indirect and ultimate losses and Injury caused by that traffic and we are speaking now of only the money, the material, lde of the question. But we think that If a complete and extended ac count could be kept, the liquor traffic would show up flnully with a balance on the di bit slile of the ledger. "Then there Is the still laig.-r con sideration, when one lakes a broiul view of the subject, of the ti-emen- ' dotis mural and social harm the lluuor traffic does In a community the doors It oii.ns to other vices. Its evil asuoclrttlnns; Its deteriorating effect, mentally nnd roomily, on saloon fre quenters, the crime It causes In whole or In part, and their awful cost In many kirn's of payment: the )-s of money, property, homes, friends, families, character: the suffering and shame nnd misery anil riegradnllon- we have all riitr of U and heard of It sii.l seen some of It. and know that the tnle of wc cannot well be exiig gerniej. When nil this in considered, must we not conclude that even If prohibition doe temporarily mime. what hurt business and cause some Injury, It Is finally the best policy for any .community, at .least any village . or small idy ? "T.h Immediate effect In the towns that contained a considerable hum. frr of millions will probably be ap parently bad; they will suffer a tem porary business depression: but this Skill Ilk In most If not all rasvs be overcome aftor a Utile, Mrst adapt themselves readily to changed condi tions: whn they find they csnnot do a they have been accustomed to do, they soon do tlis" other thing quits cheerfully: and often what portends .t h great storm eloods tutn to be merely the mist that vanishes before a ray of sunshine and a breath of air. A here prohibition becomes a fixed fact, people will soon adapt themselves to 1U and makes the best of the situa tion, and that best la likely to be a good deal better than the former con dition with a lot of "licensed saloons. , ' V ' ' ", '" , , ,'' ' ' THE NEW PENDLETON. It will seem strange to have no sa loon In Pendletpn, where for i0 years the saloon ha "been the only open door for the. stranger, the only rest room, the only lounging place, the on ly open resort with an. Inviting chair and a place to sit and rest for a few moments, ' ' Pendleton has sacrificed everything to the saloon. Bhe ha discouraged every other form of resort, because the saloons wanted to monopolize the time and rake In the money of the idle man. The saloon ha wanted to cor ner the rest room proposition and has outbid every other institution In rents until Pendleton became top heavy with saloon and top heavy with ex cessive rents. .. now we will get . down ., to a ; sane level. The new Pendleton will offer a lease of life to small Industries, which can afford to pay rent with the saloon competition eliminated. Grocery stores which have been crowded off Main street by. saloons will now be re-established. - It will now be possible for the city to rent a large rest room for the country people to enjoy after their shopping Is done and the nuw Pendleton will have much to attract customers to the city. , i Pendleton has been soaked, saturat ed, glutted with the idea that the. sa loon is the only thing. This sentiment has beenthought, talked, discussed, agreed lo and emphasized by the city until a large proportion of the people have come to actually believe It. But nothing Is farther from the truth, when men come to their senses. The new Pendleton will, be better than the old. With the new city hall erected In the heart of the city, with Its library and Inviting assembly hall: with the 'new federal building as a homo for the postofflce and other gov ernment departments, and with in creasing country settlement, the new Pendleton will forget the saloon and will rejoice that she got rid of them with as little expense as she did. Let us discourage the. croaker. Let us meet the new condition like men. Pendleton la here and Is going to stay and grow. New face are seen In business every duy. l.et us greet the stranger and Invite him to Join with us In the task of holding Pendleton In first place among the cities of the In land empire. East Oregontan, . '. A WltONG IDf. Yesterday O. B. Benham, of the La Grande Investment company. Invited a gentleman from Mollne, III., to ac company him on a drive through the orohsrd district and the farming com munity around Mt. Glenn and that north of Island City. Mr. Benham's guest came west a short time ago to look for a new home, lie expected to find good land selling for $10 an acre, and the beet farm Innd In the valley, according to the Information Btven out In llllnoN, could be had for not more than $30 nn acre. When told that the Zttrhrlck fnrm was for s.le itt 1112 en acre, the en-t'rn mnn s grsatly .surprised and somewhat dlsgii.ted. The above Is only one of numerous Instances of the kind that huppi-n fi eiiien(ly In the west nown day", lt'-iil eMate sharks, unreliable Hnd looking only for a wad ol "eny" money, establish themselves In som favored spot i,f ,,ir e-iunirj", and oprn branches In the mlddlv west, give out mini, nilng llteruturo and dellber-ati-ly deceive prospective Immigrants as to the value of our In mis. It Is poor thing for Os. If our lands entile" he hnd for a few dollars per acre. they would be worth only that, and no filmierof the fertile Mississippi val iey winnu nnre n neir to come so fur to InveKtlpMte our cllmstt and re sources. All literature nnd statements emnnntlng front the Ornnde nonde valley should be entirety trutlif'il. The truth Is fluttering enough. If the In coins from our orchard" makes them worth htlf a thousand dollar and more er acre, they are lust as vnlun ble to honteset krrs as land thst re turns Interest on an Investment of half a hundred dollars. Tell the sweltering people of ChUsgo, Pt Louis, Indianapolis and the . other struggling thousands of the prnlttcs. the truth about our lands.

T. Coop er's visit to that city, throw some light on the remarkable success of the young man's theories and medicine in various cltiea visited by him during the past year. The article la as fol low: ' "la view of the 'enormous sale of Cooper' preparations now going on in this city and the intense interest which Mr. Cooper has stirred up since his arrival, a representative of the Banner spent Thursday afternoon at tbe young man's headquarters, watch ing the swarm of humanity come and go. "During the afternoon the reporter Interviewed many of the callers and obtained statements from all who cared to give them as to their expe rience with Cooper and his prepara tion. "The following are selected from those statements as being typical of the 'general expression of the people seen: "Mr. B, B. Lasater. living at 1224 Korth Fourth avenue, when Inter viewed, said: 'I have been troubled with my stomach for the past two years, and have had rheumatism for more than five years. Sometimes I could not walk, and there were times when I could not even move tn bed. Hard knots would form on my mus cles, which caused me Intense pain. Gas formed on my stomach after eat ing, which gave me much pain and distress, and often I was restless and tossed all nlghl losing much sleep and rest.

Mr. Cooper certainly has a wonderful medicine, and I am grateful for what It has done for me.' , ; "Another caller was Mrs. T. J. Smith, of COS Hudson street.- She said: 'I have been a sufferer front bladder and kidney trouble for twenty five years. In that time I have tried many prescriptions and various kinds of medicine, but received little or no benefit from them. I seldom had a sound night's sleep, my rest being bro ken at Intervals throughout the night. I had pains la my back, and burning sensations. ""I. heard so much of Mr. Cooper that I 'came to the conclusion he might be able to "afford me some relief. I have now been taking the medicine about a week, and feel better In every way. The pain has disappeared, and I have no distress whatever. I hava come here today to express my appre elation to Mr. Cooper for his wonder ful medicine and what it has dons In my case. I will take pleasure In rec ommending it to others.'

S. S. Its period of existence is marked by a lonsr line of cures of blood and skin diseases of every character, and its value . in the treatment of.such troubles has become so well known tnat it is touay the most extensively used blood medicine on the market. For Rheumatism, Catarrh, Scrofula, Sores and Ulcers, Skin Diseases and all other troubles due to an impure or poisoned condition of the blood, S. S. S, has no equal. It counteracts and drives out the poisons, humors and germs, cleanses the ct att nnhenithv mntter. iure the disease oermanently and restores- strong, robust health. Where the blood is weak or anaemic? and unnble to furnish the body with tbe nourishment and strength it needs, S. S. S. sup plies it with the healthful properties and acts splendidly in toning up and reinvigorattng the system.- It goes down to the very bottom of all blood disorders, and in this way reaches inherited taints on which the ordinary blood medicines have no effect. Not only is.S. S. S. certain in its results. ' but it is at ihe same time an absolutely safe remedy. It is made entirely pf roots, herbs and barks of known healing and curativ value. It does not i contain the slijhtest trace of mineral iu any form to damage the delicateB parts of the svstetu, and may be used by children with the same good result! and perfect , ,-ifetv ns by older people.
