But the words of men who really know ought to carry conviction. Here Is the testimony of, such men: . I am somewhat familiar with con ditions existing in the towns over the state which have voted "dry" and I have yet to visit the first city where in the business men o that commun ity, would prefer to return to the old conditions existing before the saloons were driven out. Without " an excep tion, they advise me that they are do ing more business and better business and the collections are far better than they were before they .voted the sa loons out. The people are buying more and better stuff and are providing better for their families than they did when they had saloons In their midst. Governor Hay. of Washing ton. . Views of fonr Governors of States That Have Tried No Saloon Policy. Mr. James D. Johnson, the leader of the local Prohibition fight In Roanoke Virginia, recently telegraphed to the governors of four prohibition states as follows:: ' . .. ' Roanoke, Virginia, Sept 24. "Ronortort In local ontlon fla-ht here prohibition has worked great damage to material and moral Interests ' of your state. Wire facts. , (Signed) JAMES D. JOHNSON. Replies were received from Gover nor Comer of Alabama, Governor Kit chin of North Carolina, Governor Noel of Mississippi and Governor Stubbs of Kansas. The&were as follows: Montgomery, Ala., Sept 25,-1909 "J. D. Johnson, Roanoke Va.: 'Telegram received.. The reverse Is true. . - ;: , .. . (signed) 'B. R. "COMERS, Gov." . Raleigh, N. ,C, Sept. 24, 1909. "James D. Johnson Roanoke, Va.: . "Report very erroneous. Prohibition has been generally successful. Has greatly diminished ; the consumption of Intoxicants. ' (Signed) "w!'W. KITCHEN, Gov." Jackson, Miss., Sept. 24, 1909. "James D. Johnson Roanoke, Va.; i "Telegram received. Report that prohibition has damaged Mississippi, materially and morally, la untrue. On the contrary, as conceded by many who opposed It, and it Is as well en forced as a number of other criminal statutes. Counties and cities which have bad prohibition for ten years or more, outstripped those similarly sit uated licensing liquor sales before state-wide prohibition. ;v - (Signed) "E. F. NOEL, Gov." f'Topeka, Kan., Sept 25, 1909. "James D. Johnson, Roanoke Va.: ". "The statement that our prohibitive policy has worked great damage to the moral and material interests ' of Kansas is a notable absurd falsehood. There Is not a political or social orga nization In this state that does not concede that our temperance policy has promoted higher moral standards and practices, and advanced the ma terial Interests of the state enormous-, ly. Kansas was never nearer being un animous for prohibition than It Is to day, because It Is a good thing, and it would be impossible to find even live per cent of our people who would vote for the return of the saloon un der any conditions of restrictions. . (Signed) "W. R. STUBBS. Gov." Knoxville, Tenn., May, 18, 1909. Mr. R. R. Nance . ,.; Portland, Oregon. Dear Sir. Mayor Brooks asked me to give you some facts regarding the operation of the temperance laws In this city which went "dry" nearly three years ago. , I will say briefly that since saloons closed our city has improved 59 per cent from moral standpoint. Drunken ness has decreased and so has every other crime. Of course it is Impossible to Btop the shipping of liquor here and some is Bold in violation to law, but the great benefit came when the open saloon was banished. The. boys are not being trained to walk Into saloons and drink beer and when Its hard to get any they don't get It many times. To bear this out I will say that we Beldom arrest boys now and I can not remember when we got one drunk. Our people are happier and the poor er classes have more of the. necessar ies of life than when saloons were here. I have given you briefly some facts. I don't know which side of the fight you are on and It dont make any dif ference to me as what I have said are facts and I am responsible for all statements contained. Respectfully (Signed) W. P. CHANDLER, Chief of Police. Because we believe that prohibi tion will do for Oregon what these men say It has done for their com munities we are working for the ad option of a prohibition law In Ore gon. I and my friends have no pecun iary Interest In this matter. But w are giving of our money to this 'cau for the common good and for the rY Ing generation. I submit that we not deserve hatred and adverse critj cism for this, but rather the encoi agement of every one who desires t best things for the community. S. W.
