policeman. Not a drop of alcoholic
liquor is made on the Wanda and its
ts Krf roTile are total abstainers
since they will not permit any liquor
imported. There is cot an illiterate
tj person on the island, not a child ten
years old unable to read. There are
J several seminaries and colleges, sev
"f eral good newspaftrs. Such is the re-
' port brought by northern travelers on
4. the Incomparable and Weal land." .
What does this say for prohibit-on
and poverty? The three" millions of
drunkards. Mr. Story told us there are
In America would be better off In that
cool climate than among the open sa
loons. ' It la the first business of a govern
ment to care Tor its citizens. If there
are weak ones who cannot stay away
from strong drink or the strong one
who "can drink or let It alone," (and
so often do not let it alone) then for
the protection of the one and the best
Interests of this one the government
that cares for the physical and the
moral welfare of Its constituents Is
reasonably expected to do for them
themselves. Is this not reason?
The statement has been made that
the reason we have the flagrant vio
lations of the local option law among
us Is because of two things: (1) The
existence of licensed places where it
la kept under cover and, (2), because
the officials do not observe their cath.
As to the second I do not know. "I do
not spy on any one: it Is not my
bulness as I understand it. But if it is
true, do the people desire to remain
. - . . . a.
under me government 01 sucn uui
clals? If they are perjuring them
selves by not keeping their oath, it
must be for a consideration of some
sort It ..may not be a cash deal, it
may not be he hope of fature of
fice. I am not Judging them, but mere
ly commenting upon" the remark above
mentioned. ; ' . .
As to the first reason. It is ab
solutely known how the "temperance
saloons of La Grande stand. One day
last winter a man well known accl
dently overheard a sympathizer with
the "wet" element say: "I ten you,
the thing for the boys to do Is to take
out their near-beer license for the
coming year and they can then sell
whatever they please." From the
grand Jury indictments later found, it
tni his advice was leedifd.
For this reason, 1 believe the hon
orable city council raade a Terr great
and grave mistake when they unwit-.
tin sly opened the possibility of our
present condition by granting the 11-
cense. 01 course tney cia noi anew
the intention of the saloon aeeprs
or (honorable men and eituers as
thsy are) they would never have
loaned that streng aid to them who
are making for our city a bad naai
. As to my writing for this column. I
have no apclogy to make. I am a tax
payer. I am Just as much a citizen
as any other man. I have the honor of
La Grande at heart. I have lived in
these mountains almost 23 years and
am not a tramp trying to avoid a Job.
In these year I have never advocated
the maintenance of any Institution
in which men, women and children
could not equally assemble and r-zr-take
profitably of all' the contents. I
stand for such as these; the church
the school the home.
