It is an amazlffg thing that any mar
or any body of men should publish i
glaring falsehood which Is so easily
detected as that one about the searcl,
and seizure clause of the prohibition
law. Any one can turn to the propos
ed measure and verify the fact fo
himself. He can satisfy himself tha:
the posters you see are false, that the
written who repeat the same things are
guilty of falsehood and the speak
ers who declaim the same falsehood
are utterly unreliable. The proposed
measure provides that all shall be
done according to due process of law.
It is the same essentially as in the
present local option law, and in the
law with reference to stolen goods,
and other criminal laws. Now when
men assert this untruth with the ve
hemence and persistence with which
we find the "saloonltlcs,, doing, what
must we think of their cause, of them,
and of anything else they say? If they
are so unreliable in this, are they any
more reliable in anything else? v
It was my pleasure to be Introduced
to a man from Kansas by a man who
holds the. views opposite to mine on
the liquor question. We were engag-:
ed in a discussion of the question at
the time. My friend turned to his
friend from Kansas to verify his dec
laration that prohibition was a failure.
To bis chagrin tiw friend from Kan
sas did not agree with him, but refer
red to th places wfhere it Is impossible
to secure liquor. That la only in con
firmation of all reliable testimony wth
reference to conditions In Kansas. At
Topeka on the 29th of October three
thousand citizens In a mass meeting
denounced as "misleading and false
the statements of the Mayor of the
capital city of Kansas concerning con
ditions In our state," the declaration
recites. It continues, "We condemn
him as a traitor to his city and state
and wholly unworthy of the high posi
tion he holds. Our prohibition law is
the most drastic and far-reaching ever
passed by any legislative body, and it
la well enforced throughout our city
and state. There is not one open sa
loon in Kansas, and the statements of
Mayor BUlard are an outrage upon
our city and state. Our state is ex
ceedingly prosperous. At least 75 per
cent of our people stand solidly for
our laws." This declaration was made
by many of the leading men of To
peka and the Governor of Kansas.
Lack of space prevents the printing
of names. A short time ago Dr. Foul
kes of Portland received a telegram
from the Mayor of Kansas City, Kan
sis and other prominent men of that
city, reciting the prosperous condi
tion of their city since the prohibition
law has been enforced. In spite of
these, undeniable facts he "saloon
itlcB" persist in saying that prohibi
tion In Kansas is a failure. What must
we think of them?
Now that the Oregon has repudiated
"Home Rule" the other papers of Ore
gon 6ught to make it unanimous.
It la interesting) to know that the
"Home Rule Association" has been
using the name ef banker J. L. Hart
man in their circular advertising their
association without his "knowledge or
consent." Now If that association will
come out and acknowledge that it la
the organization through which the
liquor people are making their cam
paign against prohibition it will make
amends for the using of a man's name
in that way. Hon. E. C. Bronaugh, for
mer Judge of the circuit court said,
"speaking of the men whose names
are found In the circular of the "Home
Rule Association," "Many of these
men I know personally, and I know
that. If the true Inwardness of that
bill had been explained to them, their
names would never have been at the
foot of it and their Influence never
Vould have been back of it" The Judge
also said of the bill. "It is merely a
repltlon of the famous, I should say
Infamous. Reddy bill." Will anyone be
lieve that the voters of Oregon will
endorse a measure of that kind? The
vote in Oregon on the liquor question
has been against the traffic by the ma
jorities; In 1904, 3118; in 1906, 9848;
and In 190JU12904. The last was the
majority against the Reddy bill. The
vote against the "Home Rule" bill,
which Is "a repitlon of the Infamous
Reddy bill." will be larger than any
former vote.
Regulation of the liquor traffic in
Portland has brought about a condi
tion that is felt by the decent people
of that city to be about unbearable,
and even some of the liquorites ac
knowledge it. The Home Rule Asso-
cation ought to show their good faith
by cleaning up Portland. Who will
believe that the liquor people will do
1 what they now la their panic declare
to be thein intention? The only time
the traffic Is willing to be decent is
when it is afraid that a prohibition
!aw will be enacted.
Jacob Reis. the friend of the poor
and those who are down and out. says
40 per cent of the poverty is due to
intoxicating drink. Many of those who
have studied the question and speak of
it with authority make the percentage
much higher. And yet men who have
never studied the subject repeat in
parrot fashion that poverty and liq
uor have no connection. Some men in
this town who take this position know
better from their, own experience.
Some men speak of those who are
ruined by liquor as mere weaklings
and of no account We all know tha
often the very brightest and most
promising men go down nuder this
curse. And the man who can speak
lightly of these wrecks- has lost the
milk of human kindness. He la hardly
a man.

A Bald Fact.
It is common to deplore the lack of
humor in a person. Yet the very want
of wit may save a certain amount of
embarrassment as was the case on a
certain occasion with President John
son. "He was one day," says a writer
in Harper's Magazine, "visiting my
mother, and a friend, Mrs. Knox, a
widow, came In. She had known Mr.
Johnson some years before, when he
was a member of the legislature,, but
they had not met since then. ,
"After mutual recognition Mr. John
said: "How Is Mr. Knox? I have not
seen him lately.'
" He has been dead six years,' said
Mrs. Knox".
M 'I thought I hadn't seen him on the
street' said Mr. Johnson.
"When Mrs. Knoz left my mother
said, laughing, That was a funny mis
take of yours about Mr. Knox.'
"'What mistake did I maker said
Johnson. 'I said I hadn't seen him on
the street, and I hadn't' "
Owning Your Home.
"1 have always felt that upon prop
erly appointed and becoming dwellings
depends more than anything else the
Improvement of mankind," said Benja
min Disraeli Earl of Beaconafleld). To
sit In the evening in your comfortable
armchair; to look around you and
know that everything you see there is
your very own and that you have ob
tained it all so that ou practically do
not feel the cost; to know also that if
ou, the breadwinner, were suddenly
called away your home would still be
your wife's or your family's that is
one of the pleasures of life, indeed.
It is a pleasure which gives you new
heart in your work in the world. It

money, and because of that very deter
mination you do become worth more
money. New York Press.
A Handy Snuffbox.
A curious story Is told as t,o how the
Rothschilds supported Carafa, the
composer. The latter was far from
rich, nis principal income was de
rived from a snuffbox. And this was
the way of It: The snuffbox was given
to the author of "La PrL-wn d'Edim
boursh" by Karon James de Rothschild
as a token of esteem. Carafa sold It
twenty-four hours later for 73 na
poleons to the same Jeweler from
whom It had lea liousht. This be
