L of mpaiy Prohibition or Regulation and Hlg-h . license. . Those rwho oppose the prohibition of the liquor traffic usually assert that regulation and high license are pre ferable to prohibition, and in the same .connection they usually say that pro hibition cannot be enforced. Are these men sincere? D they really believe in regulation and high license? Were hey ever known to really favor either regulation or high license? We have had "regulation" in Oregon for a half century. We have had laws making the sale of liquors to minors and drunkards illegal, and condemning the sale of' intoxicants on Sundays and requiring the closing of saloons on Sundays and after certain hours of the night. Have these laws been properly enforced? Have not minors been sold-Jiquors almost with impun ity right along? Have many persons been , fined or , Imprisoned for selling liquors to minors? I say no, and I am sure that intoxicating liquors have been sold to minors almost with im punity. There have been prosecutions at intervals, but the business has gone on almost without punishment. Hare Intoxicating liquors been sold to drunkards, notwithstanding laws and ordinances to the contrary? The" cus tom of selling to any and all persons 1 r i - drunkards or not has been and Is gen eral, although there is here and there a saloon keeper who refuses to sell to'drunkards or minors." The general tustom Is the other way, and w.e must Judge a business by the manner in,; which it Is generally carried on. Has the regulation which prohibits the sale of intoxicating liquors on Sun days been generally obeyed? Every one who is tolerably well informed knows that this law is usually violated by th6 men who are now advocating "regulation." The element that is now i advocating "regulation" , la opposed to all subtsantlal regulation just as they oppose prohibition. If the issue were "regulation" or a wide vopen town most of the persons now advo cating "regulation" woujd be for the wide open plan. Most of them really are for a wide open town. A' few are not, but I believe that the majority are, and certainly the old saloon ele ment always stands for "liberty; of the widest sort. Some oppose all sumptuary laws, or claims to do so, but are not laws regulating the liquor traffic, "sumj tuary laws"? Some of these neonle shout for regulation and againBt sump, tuary laws. Persons who oppose all sumptuary laws necessarily oppose j H llgUIALIUU IL V1HL7 tiaillC Wlllli! ly restricts it If a law prohibiting the sale of intoxicating Uquord is a sumptuary law, then laws prohibiting such sales to minors or drunkards or on Sundays are suptuary laws. If one of these opponents of sumptuary law were asked to define a sumptuary law, he would be likely to find some I difficulty in doing it. Most of this ad vocacy of regulation la Insincere and Mndulged in by persons who favor ah ;bpen town. Then gambling is one of the usual accomplishments of the av ; erage saloon. With the ordinary sa loon Is usually found gambling, with houses of prostitution not far away. T,,e saloon, the gambling table, and the bawdy house are an unholy trinity of evil that flourish side by side, and lewd fellows of the baser sort" often HACK AIMn ' Uptown office Main 720. VrVlTl.
