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. ,

' 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 gentleman from Mollne, III., to ac

People' Tell the Reason for Their Faith in
Cooper's Belief. -
An article from the Nashville, Tenn.,
Banner, published during L. 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.

great work bis medicine was accom-

plishing for others, I decided to try
It I have taken It about two weeks,
and find myself In a greatly Improved
condition. My stomach la In good
shape, and does not trouble me at all.
My rheumatism has nearly disappear
ed, and I expect to resume work short
ly, for the first time in twelve months.
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.'
"In spite of assertions by various
physicians that Cooper Is a fad who
will soen die out, the young man seems
to be gaining even greater headway as
his visit draws to a close.''
The agency for Cooper's celebrated
medicines has Jieen given to us. W
are making a On record with them.

merit. , This ia the record of S. 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

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
