' Before a large and enthusiastic au
' dtence at Steward's opera hpuse last
night, Hon. Sidney Story the disting
uished lecturer, lectured on the liq
uor question, "Prohibition Is not Tem
perance.". The speaker hails from
Louisiana and he has the subject well
In hand. 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. He argued that the
churches were not a unit In advocat
ing prohibition" and rlalnly showed
that as lone as there was a desire on
the part of man to consume stimu
lants that there would always be found i
someone , to supply It to .him legally Dus:ness.auairs.-uaKer.uty neraio,
or illegally. He quoted eminent .George Ferguson and. Miss Jose

that prohibition was not only morally ; with Mr. and Mrs. L. E. Ferguson this

trary majority to abridge the (person-t.
nl liberty of the Individual which act
was a . violation of the fundamental
principles or iree government, ne
showed what a dangerous precedent
was established, by permitting onj
class of citizens to confiscate, with
out due process or law or compensa
tion, the property of another class of
citizens. He also appealed to the vot
cis to support a home rule bill glv'm;
to each town or municipal !tv the right
ti decide for Itself whether It sh;ill
permit the sale of liquor, under prop
ter' license, or prohibit same wh'.ci
r!ght of privilege ns explained by the
speaker, would be subject to criminal
laws and local option laws of the stat j
of Oregon. He showed where the best
results In government were obtained
by the diversification of power which
means the keeping of federal govern
ment within its bounds; the state gov
ernment within its bounds;(the county
government within its bounds and the
municipal government within Us
bounds. The speaker referred not on
ly to the great progress of the state
of Oregon in material advancement,
but to the wonderful growth and de
velopment of the Republic during the
first century of its existence, which
has made it a dominant factor in shap-

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.
There was a large audience that
filled the opera house with a great
many prominent prohibitionists and
ministers In attendance. Mr. Story was
listened to with rapt attention and his
arguments which consumed fully two
hours' time was a masterly presenta
tion of the question. ' .
