No, no, not at all. , : ' And what do people say '..' . .. That's the most Interesting -feature of the whole event. '' Old timers who have grilled for years, who havo . looked forward throughout the day to the dinner hour I when they could and did eat . a big dinner ana tannic plenty 01 pooze shake their heads and say, "the good old days are gone, out its' all for the best.",; -.v.-: ,;.t . Men wno nave profited by t,ie "good old days" are exceedinly cheer ful and admit that the enrage has come; that it is a re-ad jus tmont; that public opinion and cublic 'iaste ' hes made the encroachment on tLeir pri vate preserves, and then they will look at you in a. way that is unmistakable and give assurance that they will not be caught "shooting game out of the dry' season." Most of them, In fact we believe nearly all of them mean what they say. . :.. ' Doubtless few states ever enacted statewide prohibition with the solid support of the people as a whole to see that law is enforced, as Oregon nas aone. me pronibitionist is natur ally for the enforcement of the' law: the Bohemian is for it for some rea son of his own, and the former lia'Jor dealer is decidedly for it 1 because liquor Sold on the quiet is contrary to honorable men's ideas and further more silent liquor selling is not profit able and is but a source of trouble and disgrace. .,-!-. - Of course there will be booze sold in Portland to a certain extent, but to the man who goes to the city for a brief visit it will hardly be notice able and no such quantity will be sold as many have heretofore believed.; i The hotel men are largely' .taking a squaretoed stand on this question, and the rresuimtion that"on Known" coma always (ret a drink at his favorite voteJ .is misleading and untrue. :' ' - In support of this I can do' nothing better than quote from Phil Metrimn Jr., who runs the Imperial. He said: "ine change to the dry condition is of course damaging to any hotel business in a financial way. . Many of us did not agree that the complete abolition of liquors was quite the proper thing. But the ipeonle of this great state have eqoken their will in a way that is thoroughly understood and the majority of the (people shall always rule me for I am an American citizen and a citizen of the state of Oregon. They have decreed that the state shall be dry and it will be dry so far as I am concerned." This is the sentiment that seems to prevail, and this is the sftnHmont that will eventually do Sway with the grill, the cabaret girls and the dinner orchestra. Some one will say 'what will these people do? , In answer to that listen to the nli. dom of old Governor Withvcombe when he says: "Oh, my friends, Ore cron is a groat state: her resniiwnn have scarcoly been touched. We have a nlnce for every man or woman who will work and give value in labor for the wage expected." : mat's the solution. Work. It's 'the greatest stuff in all the world, and Oregon has been a little shy on it. iudging bv the time some of these fellows in Portland get down to their offices in the morning and the time they close their roll toD desks in the evening. lit.
