Liberal Says Jackson County
Made Best Fight in State-How
Liquor Men View Election.
"The Liberal, " tlit Onguii liinior
tltialera' mpor, iu t-unim.'iithir upon tho
ruccnt prohibition ck-muii. says that
.luckaon county wets made the best
fight against pruliil.iti.m of any county
1a the state. It uiiulit have added
the fact that the hardest fight for a dry
county was alsn made h
The way the siu-cpsh of pioliihition
ic viewetl from a liquor denier 's view
pjiut is shown in the following edi
torinl front the hiueral:
Instructive, Not Encouraging.
The result of the prohibition elections
neld all over Oregon on .TiPie 1 is in
structive if not encouraging. There
seems to bo no question that Oregon
lias been bitten badly by the prohibition
bug and that the ensuing fever is now
raging through its veins.
It is true that Lincoln county, which
was dry. voted down prohibition in
favor of the license svsteni. Reports are
conflicting as to whether Tillamook
er.uutv did tho same thiug. At any rati1
the election hero was very close. The
East Side in Portnlud voted wet by
enormous majorities in almost every pre
cinct. Hut taking the election as a
whole, it is evident that prohibition lias
made enormous strides strides which
ars largo enough to annuo even the
Anti-Saloon leng'.io and those smart and
clover gentlemen who mako ft good liv
ing by keeping the prohibition ques
tion alive.
County Dry, Towns Wet
Complete elections were held in 29
counties in Oregon. Of these 29 coun
ties only nine went wet. Tn the other
20 counties the dry majorities were
1-irge and decisive as a general thing.
I,ane and Linn counties went dry by
increased majorities. Uniatillo and
Union went dry by nearly 600 vdtes
apiece, although in previous elections
they had been strongholds of the lib
eral element of the community. Sher
man, firnnt and Gilliam counties, on the
other hand, went dry by very small
majorities less than 100 in each in
stance. All tho dry counties with the
exception of Lincoln and the possible
exception of Tillamook, voted wet. Tn
I'mntilln county the city of Pendletor.
voted wet by a majority of more than
200 votes. The returns from tho coun
try districts, however, simply ute this
majority up nlivo, Umatilla county went
into the dry column with a rousing ma
jority of Hill votes.
Jackson County Complimented. I

EIGHT THOUSAND MEMBERS
OREGON STATE ORANGE
Master Buxton's annual report stales
that the total membership of the grange
in the state at the present time is in
round numbers 8000, nud that thero are
123 organizations. The two largest
granges are hveniug Star grange and
Russollville grange, both in Multno
mah county, with a membership of 30
and 175 respectively. Master Buxton
recommended several changes in the
initiative law as follows. A provision
that no bill can be initiated unless it
first goes to the legislature in order
that it may be given more publicity by
the press and that it may be more thor
oughly discussed nnd understood by the
nters; that no remuneration shall be
lllowed for obtniniag signatures to an
initiutive petition; that a majority vote
necessary to make an amendment.
He ulso recommended an amondnicnt
giving Hie state the right to control
wntr rights. Ho favored tho account
ing system for all public olllcials and
favored education on denatured alcohol.
resolution was introduced later on
dealers in Jackson county made the best I tho water right question, and it wos
f iwht that was made anywhere in the i referred to a committee. It will prob
state of Oregon. They oiganizod early
and made a systematic campaign, lhey
presented their arguments intelligently
and thoroughly, They made an accurate
canvass of the county. They made lists
of the registered voters and on election
dny they brought the "wet" voters to
the polls 11s well as they could. Lined
up with them were a majority of the
responsible business men nnd many per
sons who are prominent in the public
life of Jackson comity ns thinkers, so
ciological students, speakers, legislators
and men of action. Nevertheless, .lack
son county wenut dry zq 27 votes.
Now, what does nil this mean? The
ready answer of the Anti-Saloon league
is, of course, that it menus that the
saloon hns got to go, and with it tho
brewer nnd wine merchant. This an
swer hns just as little truth in it as
the majority of the Anti-Saloon lengue
arguments. It. resembles their nrgu
m nts also because it is apt and appa
rently hncked up by facts and election
returns. Nevertheless, it is not true.
Former Phoribition Wave.
Most of us nre too young to remem
ber the prohibition agitation of many
years ago, when Massachusetts, Rhode
Island. Connecticut, Maryland, Dela
ware, Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, Nebras
k ., Illinois nnd even the grent state
of New York adopted prohibition.
Look at this list:
Maine adopted prohibition in 1831
Vermont 1832
New Hampshire 1855
Massachusetts 1855
lihode Island 1853
Connecticut 1854
New York 1854
Maryland 1855
Delawnre 1857
Ohio 1855
Michigan 1853
Indiana 1855
Nebraska . . . .' 1882
Illinois 185.1
And yet nil of these states except
Maine have since repealed prohibition
by enormous majorities. Tn New York
state prohibition 'ted for two years.
In Deleware the ynnie. Michigan pre
served it in the state constitution for
22 years, nnd all the other states tried
ii for periods varying from two to 40
years.
All Lawn Repealed.
If ever a policy has been tried
tho balance and found wanting, it is the
policy of prohibition. After 50 years
it seems that the prohibition agitation
of our grandfathers ' time hns returned
to plnguo ns. It takes nerve and a
bosom full of hope to be cheerful in
the face of the grossly unfair laws nnd
fantastic court decisions of the preseut
timo in Oregon, and in other states
which nre still worse off. But the
ready answer of the Anti Saloon league
that the liquor business is doomed is
not borne out by nneient or modern his
tory. The prohibition agitation of the
-arly fifties wns more severe, more
drastic an. I more sweeping than the
ngition of today even. In that old and
forgotten war of opinion liquor mer
chants and brewers struggled, fought
ably bo adopted late on in the meeting.
