Ills remarks were well re ceived by the audience. H. E. Coolidge Introduced the speaker In a few and graceful remarks. Mr. Story reviews the history of prohibition In Amer ica and stated It had failed In every Instance. He called attention to the ex istence of "blind tigers" In every pro hibition county In Oregon and advo cated as a cure, model ljcense laws, now In successful operation In cora- speaker stated that prohibition which attempted to regulate a man's per sonal conduct or appetite was the rankest kind of Intemperance and was slmply-an attempt on the part of the theorists to substitute the wisdom of the assembly for the moral law ordain ed by providence.

Mr. Story In conclusiup stated that It was not a question of the saioou or, prohibition, but the voters must de cide whether they preier the liquor traffic to be conducted under model license laws and the business made to contribute Us Just portion to the pub lic burdens, or whether they preferred that splrltous liquors of every descrip tion 'should bo sold under prohibition by the "blind tigers" (and criminal classes In defiance of law, order and decency.
